The garden buzzed with chaotic energy. The serenity of the area was lost and now the air was full of the fear, confusion, and reproach from various guests.“Do you really think he killed him?” Noah said.“Who knows what he’s capable of? How awful to think we could’ve been living with a murderer all those years.”Annette said. She wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to talk down on Jason, especially now that they had just found out a few minutes ago that he held such a high position.“There’s no way. Jason would never” Diana whispered as she took in the sight in front of her. She didn’t know when the words slipped out of her, she meant to keep them as just thoughts but she wasn’t able to.Her words made all the heads of her family members turn to her and look at her in confusion but she didn’t care, her eyes were still fixed on her ex-husband.Jason stood at the centre of the, his hands raised in a futile attempt to placate the crowd. “I found him like this,” he repeated, his voice wa

Reuben rushed back into the main hall and quickly moved through the room, scanning the worried faces of the guests who had gathered for the party. He found Timothy near the buffet table, his eyes wide with confusion and concern. Reuben gently grabbed his arm, leading him away from the crowd.“Timothy, we need to talk,” Reuben said, his voice steady but urgent.Timothy looked at him, searching for answers. “What’s happening, Reuben? I was in the bathroom, and when I came out, I started hearing strange things. Something about Jason and a murder”Reuben took a deep breath, knowing he needed to keep calm for both their sakes. “Jason went to the garden and found the lifeless body of an officer there. It’s a long story, and I still don’t know all the details of why he went there, but apparently, the officer had texted him asking him to meet him there, and they also spoke on the phone yesterday. But when he got to the garden, the officer died. Now Jason is on his way to the station for quest

Back at the Grand Lumiere, Timothy reached Jason’s car and knocked on the window lightly.His knocking woke Connor, who had fallen asleep in the vehicle. On waking up, Connor opened the door and stepped out of the car.“Mr. Timothy, good evening." Connor greeted, his voice slurred slightly. He shifted his gaze, looking around for Jason, then turned back to Timothy. “Where is Jason? Is he still at the party?”Timothy sighed “No, Jason is at the police station.”Connor’s eyes widened. “The police station? What’s he doing there?”“To cut a long story short, there was a murder at the party, and Jason was found with the body, so he was taken away by the officers,” Timothy explained. He tried to be neutral, but worry was clearly etched across his features.Connor frowned as he heard the news, but not because he was worried for Jason or concerned about what happened. He frowned because he was annoyed. If Jason was imprisoned, then his plans would be even harder to execute. “How did that idi

“If you tell me everything, you’re going to get rid of me after, aren’t you? '' Timothy said. His words were slurred as he was still recovering from the effects of the hit to his head and the drug.“Relax Timothy, just let me talk, don't worry about what happens after” Connor smirked. He pulled a small wooden stool from the corner and placed it in the corner and sat on it, making himself comfortable.“I can't tell you everything of course, but for when this all started…It started the second I found out that Michael wasn't my biological father”Timothy blinked then blinked again. He was almost certain that he didn't hear Connor right. “What do you mean?” he asked, his voice full of surprise and confusion.“I meant exactly what I said. Michael isn't my biological father. Sebastian and I are half-brothers, we have the same mother but not the same father. Apparently, faithfulness wasn't one of our dear mother’s virtues and she decided to have me with the man who wasn't a multi-billionaire

Early the next morning, Jason sat in the cold, sterile holding cell, his hands trembling slightly. He had barely gotten any sleep the night before. As he sat in the cell, he anticipated the arrival of his lawyer, but he figured that it would take a few hours for them to arrive, judging by the fact that the sun had just begun to peak out of the horizon.Suddenly the door creaked open, causing Jason to jolt up slightly. A blonde woman in a sharp suit stepped in, her heels clicking against the tile floor.“Jason Grey?” she asked, extending a hand. “I’m Serena Wilson, your lawyer. Timothy sent me.” She smiled, showcasing her perfect white teeth and confident demeanour.Serrana was undeniably gorgeous with her long, wavy blonde hair, striking green eyes, and perfect facial structure. It looked like she was a model cast to play the role of a lawyer. Even Jason, who had seen many good-looking women, was quite struck. by her features.He stood up slowly, shaking her hand. “Thank you for comi
