When Miles made that remark, he felt incredibly smug, believing he had ultimately wounded Cameron's pride.
However, Cameron merely responded with a light smile, "It seems you're not really in a position to lecture me, are you?"
"And why wouldn't I be?" Miles replied arrogantly, feeling superior.
"Then please, enlighten me, what achievements do you have to your name?" Cameron continued as he was still smiling.
"Achievements? I graduated with a master's degree from Merricania Financial University! I'm set to take over my father's position as the next Minister of Taxation!" Miles declared with pride.
He was relishing the chance to show off.
"So, aside from riding on your parents' coattails, you haven't really achieved anything on your own, have you?" Cameron said with a light chuckle.
"You!" Miles' eyes twitched in annoyance, but he quickly retorted with a sneer, "Having parents to rely on requires having parents worth relying on. Are you just jealous of me?"
"Do I need to be jealous of you?" Cameron shook his head, amused.
"I think you are!" Miles insisted, "Besides, even without my parents, I'm still a graduate of Merricania Financial University!
"Isn't that the university where admission can be bought with money?" Cameron pierced right through Miles' pretense.
With his extensive global connections, Cameron knew Merricania Financial University was considered a diploma mill with little academic credibility. Its financial graduates were essentially just buying a gold-plated degree.
"You!" Miles' cheeks quivered with rage, not expecting Cameron to be so well-informed.
"Cough cough! Alright, stop arguing!"
Seeing his son flustered, " Zack coughed deeply to intervene and naturally sided with his son.
He turned his gaze to Cameron and lectured, "Kid, I know my son's words have unsettled you. However, dignity isn't something you can argue for with words. It comes naturally once you have money and power."
