"I said those words. Please direct any issues towards me and not make it difficult for Mr. Jennings," Cameron said calmly with a cool gaze.
"Big talk for someone with little to show for it." Tina scoffed disdainfully. "Direct it towards you? Do you even deserve it?"
"I haven't even asked if you have the right to lecture me," Cameron replied with a mild smile while looking at Tina.
"You!" Tina was visibly upset.
"Cameron, please, that's enough..."
Leonard saw the situation escalating and quickly stood up to intervene.
He then turned to the agitated couple, "Zack, Tina, I apologize on behalf of Cameron!"
"Hmph!" Tina huffed.
"Let it go. The younger ones wouldn't understand. We're old classmates. Let's just order the food."
Zack waved his hand while trying to show some kindness despite his irritation.
"Thank you so much, Zack, Tina!" Leonard kept thanking them.
"I hope you've learned something from his generosity, young man!" Tina glared at Cameron.
Cameron remained silent with a neutral expression, choosing not to respond. He didn't want to make it difficult for Leonard.
"Yes, yes!" Leonard sat down again while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Jane looked visibly distressed. She felt that their family was destined to take grievances today.
Dakota whispered in Cameron's ear, "I'm sorry, Cameron, for dragging you into this..."
"It's okay, let's just eat first. We can talk about other things later," Cameron said with a gentle smile.
"Okay." Dakota nodded lightly.
"Waiter, I'd like to order!" Zack called over a waiter to take their order.
Soon, the table was filled with dishes. Though there were eight people, only seven dishes were ordered.
