Chapter 369
"You're really mistaking ignorance for confidence, young man!" Zack sneered at Cameron. "I advise you to listen to your parents-in-law. It would save you from becoming a laughing stock later on." "I don't think so," Cameron replied with a calm smile.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"Ha!" Zack could hardly contain himself. He said in a lowered voice, "To be honest, I've seen too many young people like you in my years as the Director of Taxation-people with no real talent, but they're always showing off. Usually, such people don't end up well."
"Is that so?" Cameron's smile was tinged with sarcasm as he looked at Zack. "To be honest, I've seen too many people like you too, who aren't very powerful but always like to flaunt their authority. They don't achieve much in life as well."
"What did you say?"
Zack's face instantly clouded with anger as Cameron's comment sharply struck him.
"Is there something wrong with what I'd said, Mr. Campbell? Have you ever met someone who was genuinely powerful who couldn't stop boasting about it? Do you think that they'd invite you to dinner but only order a salad and some potatoes while pretending that it's for health purposes?"
"You-" Zack was speechless as his body trembled angrily. "Very well! You've got some guts, kid! It looks like I've underestimated you!"
Zack's eyes were full of dark intent as he continued, "Didn't you say that you're the owner of this hotel? We'll wait for the manager, Mr. Yabsley, to get here!" "Alright." Cameron remained composed.
Zack was momentarily taken aback, but he then scoffed dismissively, assuming that Cameron was just lying.
"Alright!" Zack's face was grave as he nodded. "When will he arrive?"
"He'll be here soon, but I'm getting hungry now. I think the same goes for Mr. and Mrs. Jennings. Since we're at Caesar Hotel, it would be a shame not to try their specialty dishes."
"Waiter, I'd like to order more dishes please!" Cameron called out to the waiter outside the suite.
The waiter quickly entered with a smile. "Sir, what would you like to add?"
"Bring us all the signature dishes here!" Cameron ordered without even glancing at the menu. Then, he added, "And bring a bottle of '82 Lafite. Mr. Jennings loves red wine."
"Hey, kid, who allowed you to order
such expensive things? Bet you
don't usually eat like this, huh?
You're just here to splurge! Have you even checked the prices of these dishes?"
Cameron crossed his legs casually and glanced at Zack. "Did I say that you have to pay? You can just eat what you'd ordered. I'm treating my family."
"How dare you!"
Zack's eyes twitched furiously.
"Cameron, maybe we should stop. It's really okay..." Leonard whispered hurriedly to Cameron at this moment.
Leonard and Jane were genuinely touched by Cameron's gesture. Regardless of whether the manager, Lex Yabsley, would come, the cost of Cameron's order would easily start at a million dollars. Just the bottle of '82 Lafite alone would cost over three hundred thousand dollars! They didn't want Cameron to spend so much.
"It's okay. We don't come here too often, so we should just enjoy ourselves. Besides, this meal won't cost us anything." Cameron grinned.
Then, under the astonished gaze of Leonard and Jane, he told the waiter, "Go ahead with the order."
