Chapter 279
Silence filled the banquet hall.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Cameron. In their eyes, Cameron’s actions were suicidal.
Cameron remained composed. He held Tara’s hand as they slowly made their way to the center of the
stage.
“Don’t you dare!”
Kelvin’s menacing warning echoed from the stage,
Cameron ignored him. He smiled faintly as he looked at Tara,
“DJ, could you please play some music for me?” Cameron politely addressed the sound engineer below the stage.
“Uh? Oh, sure.”
The DJ was still somewhat stunned. He quickly complied and started the music,
Soon, a beautiful melody filled the room. With the music playing, Cameron politely invited Tara to
dance.
Tara accepted his invitation. Cameron gently embraced Tara’s slender and narrow waist with his right hand while his left hand lightly interlocked fingers with hers.
Together, they danced gracefully to the harmonious melody.
Tara felt the warmth transmitted through their fingertips, and her heart quivered slightly.
It was her first time dancing with a guy, let alone experiencing such intimate contact.
Strangely, she didn’t resist. Even a casual glance from the opposite sex would typically make her feel
uncomfortable all over.
She wondered if it was because she knew Cameron was helping her.
“Dr. Smith, is there something on your mind?” Cameron whispered, snapping her out of her thoughts.
She looked up at Cameron and gently bit her lip.
“Thank you, Cameron.”
“You’re welcome,” Cameron replied with a smile, continuing to dance.
Meanwhile, Kelvin trembled with rage as he watched the affectionate exchange between the two. He almost crushed the microphone in his hands.
The sound of the microphone being squeezed snapped Tara out of her reverie. At the sight of Kelvin’s murderous gaze, she worried about Cameron’s safety again.

“Cameron, maybe we should stop,” she whispered.
“What’s wrong, Dr. Smith? This doesn’t seem like you.”
Cameron smiled.
“I just feel we shouldn’t get you into trouble,” Tara said and bit her lip.
“Are you worried about me?”
Cameron chuckled. His eyes fixed on Tara, causing her cheeks to blush slightly.
“Yeah.”
She nodded.
“He’s not really that big of a trouble.”
Cameron chuckled. His demeanor was calm and confident, sending a shiver down Tara’s spine.
She felt an inexplicable sense of reassurance from the man before her.
“Let’s continue,” Cameron said softly.
“Okay.”
Tara nodded gently. She felt shy as she lowered her gaze.
The two danced gracefully under the spotlight, drawing admiring glances from onlookers. It seemed that, at this moment, they were the protagonists of the party.
But their hearts trembled as the crowd’s gaze shifted to Kelvin’s face, which was filled with
murderous intent.
They suspect that Cameron might not survive the night.
Sighs echoed across the room.
Archie sat in the corner and glared at Cameron with hatred, eagerly anticipating Cameron’s inevitable
fate.

The beautiful melody gradually came to an end under the watchful gaze of the crowd. As the music ceased, Cameron and Tara, bathed in the spotlight, exchanged smiles and fell into stillness.
“Kid, the dance is over. Now, can you remove your hands from Tara?”
Kelvin’s impatient voice cut through the silence.
Tara’s heart skipped a beat, and her body stiffened slightly. However, Cameron remained calm. His expression remained unchanged.
Cameron spoke casually as if oblivious to the underlying threat.
“Mr. Zimmer, aren’t you being a bit too overbearing? I’m just holding onto my girlfriend. It’s none of

your business, is it?”

“Did you hear me properly? I said, remove your hands from Tara!” Kelvin said through gritted teeth.
“And if I refuse?”
Cameron smiled faintly.
“Then you can go to hell!”
Kelvin’s face twisted into a grimace.
A moment later, he reached for a guwand aimed the black barrel directly at Cameron’s head.
