“You can be stubborn all you want!”
Lena snorted.
“Just don’t try to be tough later. You won’t have it easy if you provoke Kelvin.”
In her view, Cameron’s status as a representative of Yrando was simply not enough to contend with the Zimmer family in the capital.
Moreover, behind the Zimmer family was the Xander family’s looming presence. Before this, Cameron had also clashed with Alan. Lena thought that Cameron was indeed a troublesome man.
She rubbed her temples.
Cameron knew she was concerned about him.
“Thanks for caring, Colonel Bailey. But as a man, I can’t just give in easily.”
Lena blushed at Cameron’s words and shot him a disdainful look.
“Well, don’t expect me to help you if you get your ass kicked later!”
“Is this also a part of your concern, Colonel Bailey?”
Cameron grinned.
“I don’t care if you’re dead!”
. Lena glared at Cameron, her cheeks flushing a slightly deeper shade of red.
Fortunately, the car’s Înterior was dim, so it wasn’t noticeable.
Tara smiled as she observed the banter between them.
She felt that they were indeed a couple of frenemies.
Half an hour later, the pickup truck arrived at Platinum Duke Hotel–a six–star holiday hotel with top -notch facilities and service.
The party was set up in the hotel’s rooftop hall.
After Lena parked the car, they took the elevator to the top floor and entered the hall.
The pulsating music surrounded their ears. The hall was luxuriously decorated with high–end booths and dynamic stage lighting.
Each booth was filled with various high–end drinks.
“Cameron, Leny, let’s find a place to sit first,” Tara said with a smile.
She scanned the area and did not see Kelvin. She assumed he hadn’t arrived yet, so she arranged for

them to be seated.
“Okay.”
Cameron smiled.
Suddenly, they heard mocking laughter from a man.
“Well, if it isn’t our representative from Yrando. What brings you to this kind of party today?”
It was Archie.
He was holding a glass of red wine and wore a sneer as he approached Cameron.
Cameron glanced at Archie indifferently and then looked away. He did not intend to engage with him.
“Why so quiet, Mr. Morgan? You should feel pretty proud now that you’ve won Ms. Jones‘ favour, right?”
Archie became even more smug as he drew closer.
“Oh, I remember now. You were humiliated by Mr. Xander at the ceremony not long ago. He told me about your embarrassing incident while chatting with Mr. Zimmer.
“It seems like you, as the representative of Yrando, don’t have much credibility, huh?”
“Has the dog found a new master and is eager to be released to attack?”
Cameron looked at Archie with a playful smile.
“You!”
Archie’s face turned ashen with rage.
He clenched his teeth as he said, “Do you think you’re special? Without Ms. Jones‘ protection, you’re nothing!”
“Well, I’m sorry, but I do have Ms. Jones‘ protection,” Cameron replied calmly.
The calmer Cameron appeared, the more furious Archie became. He wanted to see Cameron lose his temper.
“You’re a coward who only relies on women. When Mr. Zimmer arrives later, I’ll ensure he deals with you properly.”
Archie’s expression turned ferocious.
“I don’t know when Kelvin will arrive, but it seems you don’t have the qualifications to be here.”
Cameron smiled faintly.
“I don’t have the qualifications?”
Archie frowned.

“This is a party hosted by Mr. Zimmer. If I don’t have the qualifications, do you?”
“Does it matter whose party it is?”
Cameron’s smile faded. He looked coldly at Archie,
“Don’t forget, you’ve already been banned by Ms. Jones. As you are now, you don’t have the
credentials to attend any occasion in Yrando.
“So, before I make a move, you’d better scram.”
