Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire?

Cameron pretended that he hadn't heard the previous conversation.

While eating his spaghetti, he said, Dakota, this spaghetti prepared by Mrs. Jennings is delicious.”

"Really? I'll try some too." Dakota responded with her gaze trembling slightly.

To prevent Cameron from suspecting anything, she also picked up her plate and pretended to start eating.

The atmosphere became somewhat strange for a moment.

Dakota's father, Leonard, walked out of the bedroom at that time. He saw Cameron and greeted him warmly. "Cameron, good morning!"

"Good morning, Mr. Jennings!" Cameron replied politely.

"Dad, Mom made some spaghetti. Let's eat it while it's still warm."

Dakota breathed a sigh of relief internally as someone finally broke the awkward silence.

"Sure," Leonard smiled and sat down. Soon, the family was all seated together.

Leonard spoke up after thinking of something. "By the way, dear, Dakota, don't forget about the dinner party tonight. Zack messaged me last night to

remind me, insisting that our whole family must attend.”

"Cameron, do you want to come along?"

"Ugh, what's so good about such parties?" Jane suddenly scoffed. She said, "What intentions could Zack's family possibly have? Don't you see it?"

"Dear, he is my old classmate, and now he's the Minister of Taxation. His wife is a high school principal. It wouldn't be polite of us to snub them,"

Leonard argued. "Who knows, maybe in the future, we might need their help with some tax matters for our company."

"Need their help?" Jane raised her eyebrows. She said, "Don't forget, those government officials underestimate business people like us.

"At first, their son pursued Dakota, but they acted like we were climbing up to them. After Dakota rejected him, they started slandering her behind her

back, calling her arrogant and incompetent. And look at their son, there's nothing special about him!

"This dinner invitation is probably just to show off their son returning from studying abroad with a new girlfriend! Otherwise, with their stingy nature,

would they ever be so generous to invite us?"

"Dear, please, keep it down. Cameron is here..." Leonard felt embarrassed.

"What's wrong with saying the truth? Cameron understands such situations very well! Jane said proudly.

"Yes, yes, dear. So, about tonight..."

"No, we're not going!" Jane was adamant.

"But he's my old classmate. It wouldn't be nice to turn him down..."

"You always place too much importance on such relationships. You show them respect, but they might not do the same!"

"Consider it a favor to me, dear," Leonard pleaded with his hands pressed together.

"Fine, but this is an exception," Jane conceded, as she didn't want to make things difficult for Leonard.

"You're the best!" Leonard complimented her.

"Enough with that," Jane rolled her eyes and added, "But we're going, and let me make it clear—if they start acting all high and mighty, showing off in

front of us, we're not going to let our guard down! I want them to see how great Dakota and Cameron are!"

"Dear, let's not make a fuss. They're just old classmates..."

Leonard tried to calm her down. He didn't want the situation to become too tense.

"Why should we always have to play second fiddle?" Jane was displeased.

She felt Leonard was remarkable in many ways, but he cared too much about such so-called schoolmate friendships, which wasn't beneficial to him.

"But this might trouble Cameron a little..."

"It won't," Cameron spoke up with a slight smile. He said, "I think Mrs. Jennings is right. We shouldn't let ourselves be overshadowed.”

He had already understood what Jane meant.

Naturally, he wouldn't let Leonard, Jane, and Dakota be humiliated.

"See! Cameron gets it!" Jane gave Leonard a stern look and then turned to Cameron with a smile full of affection.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
