Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire novel Chapter 365

"I was just asking casually. I was just checking on how an old classmate's family is doing." Zack waved his hand and laughed.

"I see," Cameron said while smiling warmly at Zack. His smile made Zack's expression become momentarily uneasy, as if his true intentions had been seen through.

Jane felt a surge of anger inside. She could clearly see through Zack's motives. It was nothing more than an excuse to belittle them and show off his own status.

Noticing her discomfort, Leonard laughed and tried to smooth things over. "It's been resolved, Zack."

"Is that so? Well, that's great," Zack said, but he was quite surprised.

He hadn't expected the Jennings family's significant debt crisis to be resolved.

Jane was nearly driven mad by Leonard's demeanor. She pinched Leonard hard under the table, signaling why he didn't let Cameron continue speaking and always had to be the nice guy.

"Dear. let it go. He's an old classmate, and it wouldn't be nice to embarrass him," Leonard whispered in her ear.

"Did they show you any respect?" Jane responded as she was clearly displeased.

"Let's just leave it at this," Leonard said, trying to calm her down.

He felt that it would not be good to offend someone like Zack, especially when he was a government official and an old friend.

Zack noticed the family whispering among themselves and chuckled. "Hey Leonard, Jane, what are you all chatting about?"

"Zack, it's nothing—" Leonard started to reply, but Jane cut in.

She said, "Nothing much. We were just discussing some recent developments at the company. We're considering acquiring two smaller companies."

"Acquiring companies?" Zack appeared surprised. "Jane, are you saying the Jennings family business has been doing well recently?"

"Yes, Zack. Speaking of which, we owe a lot to my son-in-law here. Without him, we wouldn't have escaped our difficulties and secured a contract worth over a billion dollars," Jane said with a beaming smile.

A contract worth over a billion dollars?

Zack was inwardly shocked.

He knew that if it was managed well, a project of such scale could generate profits in the hundreds of millions of dollars—money that he could only ever dream of earning!

He didn't want to embarrass Zack.

This made Zack frown. "Leonard, we've known each other for over 20 years. I've always thought that you were a straightforward man. When did you start becoming so vain? A contract worth over a billion dollars, do you know what that implies?"

"Why bother telling them that? If they want to pretend to have something, just let them be," Tina interjected sharply with a disdainful tone.

She thought it was laughable that a second-tier family claimed a billion-dollar project.

Leonard's face stiffened slightly, but he still smiled and explained, "Zack, Tina, what we're saying is true..."

"Look at you, Leonard. You're still so concerned about pride at your age," Zack interrupted.

"Zack, it's true. I know it sounds a little fantastical..." Leonard continued.

Zack shook his head and sighed. "Look at you. Even you can say that it sounds a little fantastical. How do you expect us to believe it?"

"I know you don't want to embarrass yourself, but exaggerating too much isn't good," Zack lectured. "It's better to be down-to-earth so that you don't become a joke…"
