Cameron watched Tara outside the hospital room. She appeared awkward and uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, “Alright, Dr. Smith, what do you need?” “Well… Cameron, could you accompany me to a high school reunion later?” Tara asked softly.
“A reunion?” Cameron was puzzled. “Isn’t it your class reunion? Why should I go?”
“Just come along,” Tara cooed.
Cameron raised an eyebrow and saw right through her. “Are you using me as a shield again, or what?”
“Hehe, you guessed right. Just pretend to be my boyfriend for one more time,” Tara admitted with a sheepish grin.
“No,” Cameron refused without hesitation.
He didn’t want to look for trouble.
“Oh, come on, Cameron, please…” Tara pleaded as she shook his arm to ramp up her charm.
“No way,” Cameron was not swayed by her antics.
“Cameron, you know I’m just a helpless girl. I’ll surely get bullied by many there,” Tara batted her eyelashes pitifully.
She looked so sad that any other men might have immediately given in.
However, Cameron knew Tara well. He wasn’t falling for her act, so he firmly declined, “I don’t believe that.”
“Just come… You won’t have to say a word there. Just sit and eat,” Tara coaxed sweetly.
“What difference does it make if I’m there or not?” Cameron lifted an eyebrow.

“It’s different. You’ll see when you get there. I promise it won’t be a bother. Just sit by my side,” Tara insisted, trying to coax Cameron into agreeing.
“I don’t believe it. Find someone else,” Cameron was not to be duped.
“Cameron, please. How about this? If you accompany me to the reunion, I’ll tell you a secret,” Tara resorted to her last argument.
“What secret?”
“It’s about Lena,” Tara revealed.
“I’m not interested in others’ secrets.”
“What if I say it concerns you?”
“Concerns me? Is it related to Colonel Bailey and my family’s past?” Cameron’s interest was piqued.
“Family?” Tara was confused, not following his train of thought.
“Never mind then.” Cameron lost interest quickly.
“You’re so boring.” Tara rolled her eyes and added, “Anyway, it’s a big secret, something that involves you!” “Really?” Cameron was skeptical.
He felt that Tara was likely hoodwinking him again.
“Really! I’d never lie to you!” Tara asserted firmly.
“Fine, fine, let’s go then. But you have
to accompany me to Andura Bank’s
headquarters first. I need to

withdraw some money.” Cameron reluctantly agreed after Tara’s persistence wore him down. S
“Great!” Tara’s face lit up.
“When are we leaving?” Cameron asked.
“Now?” Tara checked the time.
The reunion was set for 11:00 a.m.
“So you had this planned all along,” Cameron remarked, showing that he wasn’t amused.
He finally knew why Tara had specifically asked him to come early to the hospital today.
“Hehe,” Tara laughed guiltily.
“Let’s go then. The bank will take some time,” Cameron said, then added, “Shouldn’t we take your grandpa home first?” “Lena will handle it,” Tara mentioned.
Lena and she had arranged it the previous night.
“Damn…” Cameron chuckled bitterly, feeling increasingly like he had fallen into a trap.
He
everything in advance. He wondered
if
a’s warning about not go to
Plaza was also a ruse.
“Let’s go, Cameron. Let’s not delay any longer,” Tara urged as she feared he might change his mind.
Cameron shook his head helplessly, and after bidding Dylan farewell, they left for Global Plaza in Tara’s Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at

the plaza. Cameron stepped out of the car and was immediately stunned. He stared at the giant. screen on the plaza, which displayed a full-screen wedding portrait of Alan and Laura…
