Chapter 278
“Kid, do you even know who you’re talking to?”
Kelvin’s expression turned dark.
This was the first time in his life he had been openly challenged.
“Who?”
Cameron pretended not to know.
“Do you know the Zimmer family?” Kelvin’s tone grew even more ominous.
“Never heard of them,” Cameron replied with a smile.
“You’re living under a rock then!”
Kelvin looked at Cameron with disdain as he turned to Tara, issuing an invitation.
“Tara, don’t bother with this kind of guy. Come up on stage with me. Let’s finish this opening dance. Otherwise, the party won’t be able to start properly.”
While he phrased it as an invitation, it was more of a threat.
Kelvin’s implication was clear–the party couldn’t start if Tara didn’t dance with him, leaving everyone stranded.
Tara’s expression shifted. The audience fell silent, waiting for her decision. Their eyes urged her on.
“What a despicable guy!”
Lena frowned in displeasure. Kelvin was obviously pressuring Tara.
Just as she was about to stand up and say something, Cameron spoke up with a faint smile, “Mr. Zimmer, are you suggesting that without this opening dance, the party can’t proceed today?”
“That’s right.”
Kelvin thought Tara couldn’t refuse this invitation as there were so many people in the room, all waiting for her.
“I see, that makes things simple.”
Cameron smiled faintly.
Just as Kelvin thought Cameron was about to give in, Cameron suddenly looked at Tara beside him.
To everyone’s surprise, he reached out his hand and politely extended an invitation.
“Tara, you heard what Kelvin said earlier. Come. Let’s go up and dance the opening dance together.”
Cameron not only stunned Tara with this statement but he shocked Lena and everyone in the room as

well. They all froze in disbelief.
Is this guy out of his mind?
“… “Tara hesitated.
She feared Kelvin, but she was more concerned about Cameron’s safety.
If she agreed to dance with Cameron on stage, it would embarrass Kelvin in front of everyone. Knowing Kelvin’s temperament, he would definitely not let it off the hook.
“Let’s go, Tara. Don’t waste the stage lights.”
Cameron understood Tara’s concerns and gave her a reassuring look.
Tara’s eyes flickered as she looked at Cameron’s reassuring gaze. Her anxiety inexplicably diminished.
“Okay.”
She nodded gently and then stood up. Cameron politely took Tara’s hand.
“How dare you!” Kelvin roared into the microphone, his face twisted in rage.
“Mister, let me give you some advice. Back off now, there’s no need to confront Kelvin,” a young man behind Cameron advised.
Although Cameron was Yrando’s representative, he was nothing compared to Kelvin and the Zimmer family.
Lena also asked with concern, “Cameron, are you sure about this?”
– After all, Kelvin was on the stage. If something unexpected happened later, even she would have
difficulty stopping it in time.
“Don’t worry, Colonel Bailey,” Cameron reassured her.
“And Dr. Smith, just relax. Kelvin is nothing to worry about.”
He smiled faintly and then, holding Tara’s hand, strolled toward the stage under Kelvin’s murderous
gaze.
