Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire novel Chapter 383

"Ten billion dollars?!"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Hayley was stunned for a few seconds. She couldn't believe what she was hearing and turned to Jim, who looked shocked, "Darling, did I hear that right? Tara just said... Ten billion, right?"

"You heard right, it's indeed ten billion dollars," Jim replied as he swallowed hard.

Hayley's heart skipped a beat, but then she quickly snapped back to reality. She assumed that Tara was lying. Setting aside Cameron's impoverished appearance, she felt it was impossible for him to have ten billion dollars!

One must be a prominent figure to have ten billion dollars in a bank.

She felt that Tara was just boasting because Cameron wasn't immediately attended to by a teller. She didn't want to be outdone, so she resorted to exaggeration.

"Tara, after all these years, I didn't expect you to become someone who brags like that. Ten billion? Why not make it even more exaggerated and say a hundred billion?" Hayley scoffed as her eyes were filled with mockery.

"Believe it or not," Tara responded coolly.

"Oh really? You must be living a callous life now, huh?" Hayley's sneered.

"Hmm?" Tara's eyebrows furrowed. She wondered what Hayley was plotting now.

"I know you don't want to be embarrassed in front of our old classmates. You just don't wanna admit it," Hayley said with a smug look as if she had read Tara's mind, "After all, you used to be our class beauty and the head of the student committee."

She continued, "And now, here you are, hanging out with a man who can't qualify as a 'handsome,' watching all your classmates live better, more affluent lives than you. It must be hard not to feel resentful. I can understand how you feel. There’s no shame in admitting them."

"Enough, Hayley," Tara's tone grew colder as she furrowed her brow. "Firstly, I'm telling the truth. Secondly, it won't be as bad as yours even if things aren't going well in my life. I'm capable and independent. I don't need a man to support me. Really, what are you acting so superior about?"

"Withdraw money? Ten billion? A loser like you?" Hayley scoffed, "If you're so rich, why don’t you have VIP access instead of waiting here in line to get a number? My boyfriend doesn't have much here, just over ten million, but we're members and we don’t even need to queue! Also, don’t you even know the basic fact that withdrawing a large amount of cash requires an appointment?"

"Some things, just because they're beyond your comprehension, don't mean they don't exist. It only shows you're not on the same level as me," Cameron responded calmly.

"You!" Hayley anger was evident.

"Will customer A3012 please come to window number 3 for service?"

Just then, the hall's speaker announced the next customer.

Cameron glanced at his ticket. He didn't want to engage further with Hayley and headed straight for window 3.

"We'll see how long you can keep this up!" Hayley huffed angrily and then grabbed Jim's arm, "Darling, let's go and show them who's really on top!"
