Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire?

"Mr. Lavers, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Travis, Danny immediately picked up his wine glass to greet him.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Observing this, the others also lit up with excitement.

It was clear from Travis's entrance that he had come specifically to toast Danny.

Holding his wine glass, Travis chuckled, "Mr. Shaw! Your business is expanding so well these days. Having you dine here really honors my modest restaurant."

Just an hour ago, Richard, the general manager from Andura Bank, called him, requesting that he take care of some VIP guests!

Since he was not at the hotel, he had asked the lobby manager to look out for the two distinguished guests arriving by car and informed Richard about their private room number.

After changing his clothes, he hurried over from his home. He had expected the VIPs to be someone he didn't recognize, but to his surprise, Danny was the first person he saw upon entering the private room. His first thought was that Danny must have recently made a fortune in real estate and become an important client at Andura Bank. After all, he knew how good the real estate industry was!

"Thank you, Mr. Lavers. My small enterprise is nothing compared to yours," Danny replied as the compliment visibly touched him.

It wasn't that he was being understated, but he genuinely wasn't as impressive as Travis in front of him.

He hadn't expected Travis to speak so highly of him and lifted him so much in front of his old classmates!

However, he felt that this was just a courtesy between successful individuals. He thought Travis saw that he was hosting a class reunion and wanted to help him shine in front of his old classmates. The way Travis did business impressed him!

"Mr. Shaw, you always play things down. If the bank's general manager is singling you out, your real estate work must really be awe-inspiring!" Travis laughed warmly as he gave Danny a supportive thumbs

up.

"General manager?" Danny looked puzzled, not immediately grasping Travis's implication.

"Absolutely, you're always understating your achievements," Travis chuckled while giving Danny a friendly pat on the shoulder.

The onlookers were visibly impressed.

It was obvious to everyone that Travis wasn't just there to offer a toast. He was clearly aiming to make a good impression on Danny.

Danny's stature appeared to be quite significant now!

"Mr. Lavers, you're joking. I've just been fortunate to catch the right opportunities at the right time," Danny said as he brushed off the compliment modestly.

He suspected that a real estate mogul he had previously collaborated with might have mentioned his name to Travis. After all, he felt that no one here would have such influence.

It seemed he had been underestimating his own external impact.

"Enough chit-chat, Mr. Shaw! Let's toast!" Travis suggested while raising his wine glass.

"Thank you, Mr. Lavers!" Danny's eyes lit up as he quickly lifted his glass to meet Travis's.

They toasted, and both took a hearty sip.

"Excellent, Mr. Shaw! You're a real pleasure to toast with!" Travis continued his praises and then turned his attention to Cameron's empty wine glass on the dining table. While everyone else's glass contained some wine, Cameron's remained unfilled.

He felt missing out on this 1982 Lafite would be a real shame!

Looking puzzled, Travis asked, "Mr. Shaw, doesn't your classmate drink wine?"

"Oh, Mr. Lavers, about him, he was just boasting earlier about withdrawing a billion dollars from the bank. He probably thinks this 1982 Lafite isn't up to his standards," Danny sighed and feigned helplessness.

"So, he was playing the big shot!" Travis scoffed lightly, seizing the moment to advise Cameron, "Young man, I'd suggest staying low-key until your claims match your capabilities. Otherwise, you're just setting yourself up for trouble."

Upon hearing this, Cameron simply looked up quietly at the hotel owner.

"Don't you agree?" Travis frowned slightly and looked slightly irritated, "This is sound advice. Not everyone gets such personal guidance from me."

"Let's leave it, Mr. Lavers. He's a friend of mine. Please, do it as a favor to me," Danny intervened as he tried to smooth things over.

Yet, he was thrilled by the unfolding events deep down.

He thought this intervention from Travis not only boosted his reputation among his classmates but was sure to make a lasting impression on Tara, too. He was confident that Tara would consider becoming his girlfriend after this reunion!

Little did he know, at this very moment, Tara felt utterly repulsed by Danny and the patronizing Travis. To her, their uninvited advice was completely off-putting.

"Ah, Mr. Lavers, there you are! I was wondering why you went ahead without me," a voice called out just then.

The mood in the room grew tense as the door swung open to reveal Richard, the general manager of Andura Bank.

"Mr. Graham, you've arrived!" Travis turned with a warm smile, "I was just making sure your guests were well taken care of. It's a coincidence that Mr. Shaw is also a frequent patron here." However, Richard furrowed his brow, looking puzzled as he glanced at Travis.

"Which Mr. Shaw?"

"Huh?" Travis blinked.

He was unsure if he made a mistake.
