Chapter 281
The sound of an empty gun chamber echoed through the quiet party venue.
Everyone’s hearts trembled fiercely.
Contrary to expectations, the scene of blood splattering on the stage did not occur.
Lena froze.
It turned out the handgun in Kelvin’shand had no bullets.
“Damn it. There really aren’t any bullets in the gun!”
Archie felt a wave of frustration.
Tara heaved a sigh of relief, feeling her legs go weak.
Everyone was in a state of paralysis after the scare.
Their palms were all sweaty.
The crowd thought Kelvin was a madman, a complete lunatic indeed.
Cameron looked at Kelvin, his face showing little emotional change because he had known the outcome from the beginning.
“Kid, congratulations. There really were no bullets in my gun.”
Kelvin grinned, but his smile was exceptionally sinister.
Cameron had embarrassed him again.
Kelvin wondered how Cameron figured it out.
He felt perplexed.
At this moment, Lena also arrived on the stage.
She coldly rebuked, “Kelvin, have you gone mad?”
However, in the face of Lena’s reprimand, Kelvin simply smiled indifferently and said, “I am indeed crazy, Colonel Bailey. Crazy in love with Tara!”
“You call this love? It’s just selfish possessiveness!”
Lena furrowed her brows.
“Furthermore, you’re illegally carrying a firearm. I am officially going to arrest you!”
“Illegally carrying a firearm?”
Kelvin chuckled.

“Colonel Bailey, that kid just said it’s a replica gun without live bullets. Is it really plausible to arrest me based on that?”
As he spoke, Kelvin hooked the handgun on his index finger, showing it to Lena.
Lena inspected it and confirmed it was indeed a replica gun. However, the weapon was made of pure steel, almost indistinguishable from a real one.
But trying to convict Kelvin based on this would indeed be difficult.
Even if they arrested him, with the Zimmer family’s influence in the capital and the Xander family’s support, he would probably only be detained for a few days at most.
So, all Lena could do was issue a verbal warning.
“Consider yourself lucky this time. Be more careful next time!”
“Yes, Colonel Bailey!”
Kelvin saluted Lena. However, his face wore a mocking smile. He knew Lena couldn’t touch him.
Lena looked coldly at Kelvin, too indifferent to bother with him any longer.
“Cameron, Tara, let’s go,” she said, intending to take Tara and Cameron away:
“Wait, Colonel Bailey. I have a few words to say to Tara!”
“Say it quickly.”
Lena frowned.
“Alright.”
Kelvin grinned, and then his gaze shifted to Tara.
He looked wicked as he said, “Tara, my feelings for you should be crystal clear. However, your actions today have truly disappointed me.
“I’ll give you tonight to think it over. When you’ve made up your mind, give me a call.
“Remember, don’t keep me waiting too long. My patience is limited.”
.
Tara’s body stiffened instantly at his words. She knew Kelvin wasn’t just making empty threats.
Kelvin was satisfied with her response. He then turned to leave the stage.
“This bastard!”
Lena watched him go, knowing she could do nothing about him, allowing him to swagger away.
However, just as Kelvin was about to leave, Cameron, who had remained silent all along, suddenly spoke up with a grin.
“Mr. Zimmer, isn’t it inappropriate to act all tough and leave just like that?”
