Chapter 276
Tara’s heart trembled.
She couldn’t help but shudder each time Kelvin smiled at her. She just wanted to be far away from
him.
At Tara’s lack of response, Kelvin’s smile faded into a dark scowl as he turned to Archie.
“Get lost.”
“Are you talking to me?” Archie was taken aback.
Was Kelvin telling him to leave?
“I said, get lost! Can’t you see you’re bothering Tara here?”
Kelvin’s sudden rage shook Archie, leaving him shaking.
“Yes, Mr. Zimmer… I’ll leave right away…‘
Kelvin turned back to Tara with a smile.
“Tara, now that the person who upset you is gone, are you feeling any better?”
“I…”
Tara’s heart raced nervously.
“Kelvin, could you have a bit more manners? Your loud voice earlier gave Tara a fright!”
- Lena stepped in.
She was unafraid of Kelvin.
“Yes, Colonel Bailey. My apologies. I was just a bit worked up seeing Tara upset, but I’ll be sure to control myself next time.

Behind Kevin’s smile held a trace of menace in his eyes.
If Lena didn’t have her status, he’d teach her a lesson, too, so she’d understand the depth of his
power.
“You better remember it,” Lena responded coolly, then turned to Tara.
“Tara, let’s go sit over there.”
“Okay.”
Tara nodded eagerly, following Lena to a nearby booth.
Cameron followed behind.
“My friend, hold on a moment.‘

Chapter 226
Kelvin suddenly called out to Cameron.
“Mr. Zimmer, is there something you need?” Cameron asked with a smile.
“Not much. I’d like to remind you to stay away from Tara, no matter who you are.”
Kelvin smiled at Cameron, but his expression showed a hint of a warning.
Tara was his prey, and there was no room for interference.
“No need to worry, Mr. Zimmer,” Cameron replied calmly, then headed toward the booth.
The smile vanished from Kelvin’s face as he watched Cameron walk away, a threatening look behind
his eyes.
Then, he made his way toward the stage.
As Kelvin reached the center of the stage, the entire hall fell silent.
All eyes were on him.
“Look! It’s Mr. Zimmer! Mr. Zimmer is here!”
“Everyone, quiet down…”
Everyone was cautious, hesitant to make a sound.
Those in his circle knew Kelvin’s temperament.
He could really hurt someone when he was angry.
No one dared to offend this lunatic.
Kelvin seemed to revelin the fear the people below the stage displayed.
He picked up the microphone from the stand and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Kelvin. I’m honored to see you all at this party I’m hosting today. Thank you for coming.
“Before the party starts, allow me to say a few words.
“The main purpose of today’s party, besides bringing everyone together to have a good time, is to confess my feelings to a woman I’ve admired for a long time.
“To be honest, I’ve liked her for a long time and have been pursuing her.
“Today, I want to formally invite her in front of you all.
“I want her to accept my pursuit and join me for the opening dance before the party starts to completely ignite the atmosphere!
“Tara, would you accept my invitation?”
As Kelvin spoke, his gaze inevitably fell on Tara, who was sitting in the booth below, waiting for her
response.

But as Tara felt Kelvin’s gaze, her expression turned sour.
She hadn’t expected Kelvin to be so direct.
She should have pushed Cameron forward right then to reject Kelvin’s invitation. However, she hesitated when she remembered Kelvin’s warning to Cameron.
Cameron had already offended Max, and that was trouble enough. If she let him offend Kelvin, who knows what this lunatic might do?
With this in mind, Tara took a deep breath.
She decided to handle this herself. She prepared to stand up.
Cameron instantly sensed Tara’s thoughts. He smiled inwardly and stood up preemptively.
Then, he turned to Kelvin and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Zimmer, but Tara can’t accept your invitation today.”
“Why?”
Kelvin’s expression darkened.
“Because she already has a boyfriend.”
