“Cameron, are you really the holder of a deluxe credit card?” Tara looked at Cameron with a face full of surprise while they were going to the Lunar Crest Restaurant.
From being the representative of Yrando to now a deluxe card holder, Cameron’s status seemed to surpass her imagination more and more. It was known that in the entire Andura, no more than five people possessed such a deluxe credit card.
Even Alan and Laura didn’t qualify for one. This status symbol required not only absolute financial assets but also an exceptional personal stature.
“By the way, do you have many enemies from high school?” Cameron tried to change the subject.
“Let’s not talk about that right now. Cameron, answer my question first,” Tara persisted. She was too curious.
“I can only tell my future wife about this,” Cameron said with a slight smile, obviously not intending to reveal the details.
“Wife?” Tara blinked in surprise, then realized Cameron meant he did not want to discuss it.
Her face turned slightly red as she playfully said, “Cameron, how about I be your wife for a day? Can you tell me then?” Cameron raised an eyebrow. He clearly didn’t such a bold statement from Tara.
He chuckled and shook his head, “That won’t work. It has to be official.”
“Cameron, just tell me, please. I know you’re the best. I promise I won’t tell anyone else!” Tara continued to coax Cameron.
“Sigh.” Cameron sighed helplessly, knowing that he wouldn’t have peace today without giving some sort of explanation, given Tara’s persistent nature.
So, he made an excuse, “This card isn’t mine. I was just borrowing it from someone else.”
“Borrowing? From whom?” Tara was taken aback.
“Lord Blackheart,” Cameron replied.

“Lord Blackheart?” Tara’s eyes trembled.
It was not strange that Lord Blackheart had a black card.
What surprised Tara was that Lord Blackheart would lend it to someone else as a deluxe credit card with astounding wealth!
“Can a card like that really be lent to someone else? That is absolute trust!” Tara mused.
“Cameron, what is your relationship with Lord Blackheart that he would even lend you his black card?” Tara was even more astonished. “He’s a good friend,” Cameron replied with a slight smile.
“A friend?” Tara’s eyes flickered, then she pressed, “I suspect you’re more than just friends, right?”
She remembered how Lord Blackheart had helped Cameron deal with the Zimmer family last time.
“Dr. Smith, I have answered your previous question,” Cameron smiled.
“Come on, just tell me!” Tara increased her coquettish behavior.
She was utterly curious now.
Cameron remained tight-lipped.
“Hmph!” Tara huffed lightly, muttering, “Only bad people leave a story half-told.”
Cameron laughed softly.
He turned to look at a somewhat frustrated Tara and said, “Let’s talk about your situation, Dr. Smith. This class reunion seems like a setup.”
“Sigh.” Tara sighed deeply, “I didn’t

expect that after all these years they’d still be so hostile towards me.
I’m really sorry for not explaining the situation to you earlier…”
She had only invited Cameron to pretend to be her boyfriend to avoid ridicule for not having one.
After all, she was not only the class beauty but also the school beauty. She knew many were waiting to see her fail.
She also knew that many boys had special regard for her in high school, which made many girls extremely jealous.
She thought they would be more courteous and rational after they had grown up all these years.
“Dr. Smith, why are you apologizing
to me? You brought me here to help you with your troubles,” Cameron looked at Tara, who was somewhat
ted.

Then, he smiled and added, “Besides, the more people who are jealous of you, the more it shows how outstanding you were back then. There’s nothing to feel guilty about in that.”
