Chapter 363
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!

"Did you hear what my dad said?" Miles gloated while looking at Cameron.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Cameron ignored Miles and looked directly at Zack. He responded,

Frankly, a mere director of the tax department in Yrando was hardly impressive to him. He felt that if it weren't for this family constantly picking on Leonard and Jane since they entered the suite, he really wouldn't bother engaging with them.
Yet, this simple statement made Zack's eye twitch violently, with anger surging.
"What an arrogant young man!" Zack's tone grew menacing.
"I am merely stating a fact," Cameron replied calmly.
"You-"
Zack was seething with rage. He was unaccustomed to being schooled by someone younger. Turning to Leonard, he challenged, "Leonard, is this how your future son-in-law treats his elders?"
"Zack, Tina, please don't get upset. Cameron didn't mean it like that....."
"Then what did he mean?"

let the matter slide. She felt that Zack and her a high school principal and a director of
taxation-were used to lecturing others, not vice versa.
"Well..." Leonard was sweating profusely.
