Chapter 272

Meanwhile, in the VIP lounge of the Venizon Cruise, Lord Blackheart addressed Cameron: "Sir, did you find any clues at the Zimmers' villa?"

"Not yet," Cameron replied, shaking his head. "However, I learned from Max that he bought my mother's house from a mysterious person."

"Do you believe him?"

"I don't," Cameron said, "but I suspect the Zimmer family knows I'm still alive. Once I've investigated my mother's death, they won't be able to remain passive."

"So, sir, should we wait for them to reveal their true colors?"

"Exactly. Have your men monitor the Zimmers' every move for the next few days, especially their interactions with the Xander family."

"Yes, sir! I will also investigate further and inform you immediately of any news."

"Good. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's an honor to serve you, sir."

"I knew I could count on you."

Cameron smiled. "Alright, I'll return. Please keep an eye on the Zimmer and Xander families."

Cameron left. A sharp light flickered in his eyes. He could feel it—the truth was soon to be revealed.

The following evening, Cameron arrived at the entrance of Azure Residence, awaiting Tara's arrival. However, instead of Tara's white Mercedes, a military green pickup truck—Lena's car—arrived. He wondered why she was there.

As he pondered, Tara lowered her car window and waved. "Cameron, get in the car!"

Cameron entered. Lena was also inside, both women dressed for a party. Lena wore a black strapless dress and a pearl necklace; Tara wore a blue fringed dress, a diamond necklace and earrings, and delicate makeup. Both were meticulously dressed.

"Colonel Bailey, are you also going to the banquet?" Cameron asked.

Lena snorted irritably. "You two really know how to cause trouble for me."

"Trouble?" Cameron was puzzled.

"Are you two unsatisfied with stirring things up at the Zimmers' villa yesterday? Now you're planning to incite chaos at the party today? Do you know how influential the Zimmer family is in the capital?" Lena asked impatiently.

"Colonel Bailey, how did you know I was at the Zimmers' villa yesterday?" Cameron asked curiously.

"I told her," Tara said, sticking out her tongue. "Yesterday, when I saw you enter Mr. Zimmer Senior's villa and didn't see you emerge for a long time, I got worried and called Lena for help. But by the time she arrived, you had already left."

"Ah, I see." Cameron was moved by their actions.

"You two are truly something!" Lena scolded, narrowing her eyes. "Tara, you actually allowed Cameron to pose as your boyfriend. Aren't you afraid he'll be beaten up by Kelvin later? If I hadn't followed along, you guys could be on the front page of the news tomorrow!"

"Lena, calm down, I know you're the best. I'll treat you to dinner another day," Tara said earnestly.

Lena sighed. "Alright. Let's go."

After reminding them to buckle up, she started the car. Cameron sat in the back, smiling at Lena's tough but soft-hearted nature. She was worried about them.

Lena, seeing his expression in the rearview mirror, gave him a disdainful look. "Quit smiling. Be careful. Kelvin is known for being ruthless and holding a grudge. You probably don't know yet, but he's Alan's subordinate."

"Alan's subordinate?" Cameron's eyes lit up.

"Scared? It's not too late to be scared now," Lena said.

"I'm not scared. I just think things suddenly got interesting." Cameron smiled mischievously. If Kelvin were Alan's underling, he wouldn't need to hold back.

• Corrected grammatical errors: Such as "lest" changed to "left," tense consistency, and pronoun agreement.
• Standardized punctuation and capitalization.
• Removed unnecessary repetition and wordiness.
• Clarified ambiguous phrasing.

The revised text is much clearer, more concise, and reads more naturally.
