“I was just asking casually. I was just checking on how an old classmate’s family is doing.” Zack waved his hand and laughed.
“I see,” Cameron said while smiling warmly at Zack. His smile made Zack’s expression become momentarily uneasy, as if his true intentions had been seen through.
Jane felt a surge of anger inside. She could clearly see through Zack’s motives. It was nothing more than an excuse to belittle them and show off his own status.
Noticing her discomfort, Leonard laughed and tried to smooth things over. “It’s been resolved, Zack.”
“Is that so? Well, that’s great,” Zack said, but he was quite surprised.
He hadn’t expected the Jennings family’s significant debt crisis to be resolved.
Jane was nearly driven mad by Leonard’s demeanor. She pinched Leonard hard under the table, signaling why he didn’t let Cameron continue speaking and always had to be the nice guy.
“Dear. let it go. He’s an old classmate, and it wouldn’t be nice to embarrass him,” Leonard whispered in her ear.
“Did they show you any respect?” Jane responded as she was clearly displeased.
