“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.
“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.
