Jason looked at Camilla seriously. “I have one condition” he said, his voice firm. Camilla waited, her heart started beating fast. What could he possibly want? She doesn't want to lose out on Jason because she could see her grandfather already liked him and it would be wrong of her to look for someone else at that moment.She gazed at Jason, a curious face, her ears wide open, she prayed he shouldn't demand for something ridiculous.“I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend too”Jason said, his eyes not leaving hers. “I don’t have any girlfriend in the university, and if you can pretend to be mine, then I’ll pretend to be yours in front of your grandfather. No feelings involved, no touching involved. Just for names only. Let’s just pretend.”Camilla was stunned for a moment. She blinked a few times, trying to process what Jason had just said. He was willing to help her, but on one condition—one that she hadn’t expected she thought would be more money or something ridiculous. “Yo

Jason's heart pounded not because he was being threatened but because he was forced away and he won't have enough time to go save summer. At that moment the officers' hands gripped his arms tightly. Jason didn't want to struggle but he decided to do so by struggling with the office, his face contorted with anger and frustration seeing the police officer didn't even listen to him and none of them even cared to listen. “You can’t do this! and waste my time, but let me warn you if anything happens to my friend. You're all going to pay for this!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the cold scene.his lips tightened even more as none of the police officers listened to him again.The car drove off slowly as they passed Jade and her family, who stood watching with smug expressions all focused on Jason.Jason at that moment locked deadly gaze with Jade. Her face was calm, it was as if nothing had happened and she didn't do anything, but her eyes betrayed her. There was fear there, a

He stared at the black grains spilling out onto his desk, his anger momentarily replaced with confusion. His mind started racing as he tried to make sense of it, but there was no logical explanation. The room fell silent, the tension thick as the detective’s confusion slowly turned back into anger.“What kind of sick game are you and your friends playing?” the detective growled, his voice low and dangerous. He looked up at Jason, his eyes narrowed into slits. “You think this is funny? Sending me black sand?”He then turned to the officer who had delivered the letters, his eyes wide with fear but he managed to hide them.“You’re sure it was just a boy? Did he say anything else? apart from just this envelope” The detective's voice was shaky, betraying his fear.The officer nodded, his own face pale and filled with worry he doesn't understand what is happening. “Yes, sir. He didn’t say a word. Just handed over the envelope saying it was important and made sure you take a look at it,

The room fell into a heavy silence as the Mayor's presence sent shockwaves through everyone standing in the interrogation room. The detective’s face drained of all color immediately he saw the mayor he knew something was wrong, his legs felt like they would give out any moment. He had already soaked his pants in fear, and now, with the Mayor standing before him, it was as if the ground beneath him had vanished.Jason remained calm; he didn't move a muscle, his eyes steady and unfazed by the sudden appearance of the Mayor. Everyone else, however, was visibly shaken. Jade’s family, who had been so confident moments before, now looked as if they had seen a ghost; they couldn't believe the mayor would come here in person.At that moment the Mayor’s gaze swept across the room, cold and authoritative. He locked eyes with the detective, who was trembling so badly that he could barely hold himself up. Just then, the detective’s phone rang, startling him. With shaky hands, he fumbled to a

Summer’s eyes at the moment widened in surprise when she saw Jason walking out of the police station. She had been so worried because she knew they used to get him, she thought that he might be stuck in there for a long time about the painting and she was here to give her own little experience about the painting. But here he was, free and looked unharmed. At that moment relief washed over her, but she could tell by the look on Jason’s face that something was bothering him and she wondered what it was.At that moment Summer looked down at herself, suddenly feeling self-conscious. She was wearing tattered clothes, and her shoes were worn out. She hadn’t had time to change before rushing to the police station to see Jason, and now she felt embarrassed seeing him alright and she is dressed this way. But it was more than just her appearance—her whole demeanor was tired and defeated.Jason noticed the state summer was in and he couldn't believe she had gone through all of this just because
