Chapter 361
Leonard shrank his neck sheepishly and chose not to speak further. He was worried about angering Jane further.
The family dressed formally at dinner and arrived at the Caesar Hotel. It was a lavish seven-star establishment.
Cameron felt a familiar sensation wash over him as he entered the hotel. After all, he was the hidden owner of this place. Unbeknownst to Jane, the owner of the hotel was right beside her.
Looking around the opulent hotel, Jane was surprised. "Dear, when did Zack's family become so generous to invite us to the Caesar Hotel for dinner?"
She knew well that the average spending here was over a hundred thousand dollars!
"Uh... I'm not sure. Zack didn't mention anything to me."
Leonard was also unclear about the situation.
They were then guided by a waiter and arrived at Suite 3002. Upon entering, they saw Zack's family.
Zack was dressed in a wool suit. His hair was meticulously combed, displaying a typical bureaucratic presence.
His wife, Tina Saunder, wore a black dress and a valuable diamond bracelet. She was exuding elegance.
"Zack, Tina, sorry to have kept you waiting," Leonard greeted them warmly.
"You're here, take a seat wherever you like," Zack replied with superficial courtesy.
Tina merely nodded. Her gestures exuded an air of superiority.
Once Leonard's family was seated, Zack looked at Cameron as if he was new to him and asked, "Leonard, is this the young man you'd mentioned on the phone, your future son-in-law?"
"Yes!" Leonard responded with a warm smile and then introduced Cameron to Zack. "Zack, this is my daughter's boyfriend, Cameron. Even his name itself means strong and majestic."
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell," Cameron greeted them politely.
Zack merely nodded slightly.
He scrutinized Cameron and asked, "Young man, what do you do for a living?"
"I run a small business," Cameron replied with a smile.
"So, like Leonard's family, you're also a businessman," Zack nodded.
His gaze revealed a hint of disdain. To him, businessmen were second-class citizens-wealthy but powerless. Whenever they needed something, they would come begging.
"Yes, Zack, he's a businessman like us, but Cameron is far more formidable!" Leonard attempted to add a shine to Cameron's reputation. "What's the use of expanding a business? In society, it's power that really matters," Zack shook his head while displaying an air of superiority. Hearing this, Leonard's smile stiffened.
However, Cameron kept smiling as if unfazed. "You're right. Having money isn't enough in society. Having power is indeed important."Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Young man, it's good to see such
awareness in someone so young but not everyone can wield power," Zack spoke slowly while displaying a sense of arrogance in his tone.
"Yes, indeed, not just anyone can wield power." Cameron gave a smile that carried a deeper meaning.
He was unaware and uninterested in discerning the subtext.
However, Jane was seething and angry deep down. She was disgusted by Zack's pretentious demeanor. She thought that he was just a minister of taxation! To those unaware, they might think he was the mayor!
She had said earlier that they shouldn't have come to this dinner. Zack's family was clearly out to embarrass them! The more she thought about it, the angrier She became.
Under the table, Jane kicked Leonard hard. It was her way of saying, "You insisted on coming, and now here we are, just sitting around and being lectured!"
