"Is the order placed?" The Jennings couple snapped out of their shock and quickly asked, "Cameron, what did you mean earlier when you said that this meal wouldn't cost anything?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Jennings…" Cameron started to explain, but Miles immediately interrupted him.
"It wouldn't cost anything? Kid, are you expecting us to pick up the tab?"
"Do I need to rely on you?" Cameron raised an eyebrow.
"What else? Do you have that kind of money?" Miles said with a sneer.
"The hotel belongs to me. So naturally, I don't need to pay for my meals here," Cameron responded calmly to Miles.
"Your hotel? You are really keeping up with the act, aren't you?" Miles scoffed. "If you really are the owner, why don't the staff recognize you?"
"I rarely come to the hotel, so isn't it normal for the staff not to recognize me?" Cameron retorted.
"Hmph!" Miles was momentarily speechless.
"Son, don't bother with him, let him continue with his act," Zack spoke sternly.
After all, he would pay for the dishes he had ordered.
"Alright..." Miles had to relent, but he kept a resentful gaze on Cameron.
"Dear, you don't need to argue with that kind of person," Fiona said. "To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Mr. Campbell's influence inviting them to Caesar Hotel for a meal, would they even qualify to sit here based on their own merits? Not only do they not appreciate it, but they also criticize him and pretend to be more affluent than they are. They are truly classless."
"Haha. You're absolutely right, dear!"
Miles was instantly in a better mood.
"Fiona, you really understand us." Zack and Tina were also delighted by Fiona's words. They felt that a future daughter-in-law like her was indeed likable!
"I'm just speaking the truth." Fiona pursed her lips, appearing very sensible.
However, she was actually just trying to please her elders.
She knew that she had to make a good impression with a family as influential as the Campbells—it could change her future!
"Did you all see? My future daughter-in-law is a sensible person, unlike your son-in-law!" Zack immediately turned to the Jennings couple with a smug look.
Leonard and Jane's faces turned sour. They were angry but couldn't voice it.
Seeing her parents being treated this way, Dakota clenched her fists. She was furious at how overbearing this family was.
"Don't be upset, Dakota. The real show is about to start." Cameron gently held her hand and smiled reassuringly.
Dakota's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Cameron and nodded firmly. "Alright!"
