Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire?

"I said those words. Please direct any issues towards me and not make it difficult for Mr. Jennings," Cameron said calmly with a cool gaze.

"Big talk for someone with little to show for it." Tina scoffed disdainfully. "Direct it towards you? Do you even deserve it?"

"I haven't even asked if you have the right to lecture me," Cameron replied with a mild smile while looking at Tina.

"You!" Tina was visibly upset.

"Cameron, please, that's enough..."

Leonard saw the situation escalating and quickly stood up to intervene.

He then turned to the agitated couple, "Zack, Tina, I apologize on behalf of Cameron!"

"Hmph!" Tina huffed.

"Let it go. The younger ones wouldn't understand. We're old classmates. Let's just order the food."

Zack waved his hand while trying to show some kindness despite his irritation.

"Thank you so much, Zack, Tina!" Leonard kept thanking them.

"I hope you've learned something from his generosity, young man!" Tina glared at Cameron.

Cameron remained silent with a neutral expression, choosing not to respond. He didn't want to make it difficult for Leonard.

"Yes, yes!" Leonard sat down again while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Jane looked visibly distressed. She felt that their family was destined to take grievances today.

Dakota whispered in Cameron's ear, "I'm sorry, Cameron, for dragging you into this..."

"It's okay, let's just eat first. We can talk about other things later," Cameron said with a gentle smile.

"Okay." Dakota nodded lightly.

"Waiter, I'd like to order!" Zack called over a waiter to take their order.

Soon, the table was filled with dishes. Though there were eight people, only seven dishes were ordered.

This included a bowl of savory beef soup, a serving of slow-cooked

braised beef and two chilled

appetizers-one with jellyfish and et

another with preserved eggs-and the remainder of the dishes

consisted of various seasoned vegetables.

The Caesar Hotel's signature dishes were absent, like the Emperor Crab and Rainbow Lobster as well as the seafood platter. Instead, some of the cheapest home-style dishes were served.

In total, the cost was surprisingly under ten thousand dollars. This was unprecedented for a place like Caesar Hotel, which had been open for seven years. Usually, patrons here were real tycoons and dignitaries, where a meal typically cost over a hundred thousand dollars. Otherwise, they would opt for other star-rated hotels.

Seeing the dishes served, Zack spoke nonchalantly, " We just got back from a vacation abroad. We overate greasy food and opted for something lighter."

"Why even tell them that?" Tina spoke with a hint of arrogance. "We didn't need to pay for this meal. Remember, Mr. Campbell gave you a credit card for Caesar Hotel a while back, right?"

"Yes, but it wasn't much. There was just around 20 or 30 thousand dollars inside," Zack responded, his tone casual but clearly intended to brag. It was a credit card gifted by someone else, after all.

Jane suddenly realized why, despite their stingy nature, Zack's family would invite them to the Caesar Hotel.

Unaware of their realization, Zack feigned contemplation and said, "That's the thing about having power; people are always eager to curry favor with you."

"Yes, Zack, here's a toast to you!" Leonard played along, not wanting to contradict his old classmate.

Jane kicked Leonard hard under the table, silently chiding him for cozying up to people who didn't respect him.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jane sighed internally, not wanting to make it difficult for him. She decided to swallow her pride and thought about leaving right after dinner. After putting down his glass, Zack casually asked, "By the way, Leonard, I heard your company's been having some debt issues lately. How's that going? Are they resolved?"

Leonard understood the implication and was about to respond that the issue had already been resolved.
