The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 149
At that moment Jason watched Summer closely as she processed his words. He could see the gears turning in her mind, her expression softening but still carrying traces of doubt. “What if we make a drug like that?” he said, his tone calm yet resolute. “I know a guy who knows a guy. We can get the resources, the labs, the people. We can make this work, Summer.”Summer blinked at him, surprised by his unwavering determination. Her lips curved into a faint smile, though her eyes betrayed her uncertainty. “Jason,” she said softly, “you make it sound so simple. But it’s not. It’s going to take more than just determination.”Again Jason stepped closer, his gaze steady. “I know it’s not simple. But nothing worth doing ever is. You said it yourself—it’s not impossible. And if you’re willing to fight for it, then so am I.”For a moment, Summer didn’t say anything. She just looked at him, her thoughts racing. She could see that Jason wasn’t just saying this to make her feel better. He truly be

At that moment Summer watched as her father disappeared into the house, her arms crossed tightly against her chest. She turned to Jason with a worried expression. “You’re in trouble,” she muttered again, her tone tinged with frustration. “You just lied to my dad, and he hates that more than anything. You don’t know how strict he can be when it comes to medicine.”At that moment Jason gave her a calm smile, his demeanor unshaken. “I didn’t lie,” he said, his voice steady. “I do know what I’m talking about.”Summer scoffed, running a hand through her hair. “Jason, you’ve never even mentioned medicine before today! What are you going to do if he catches you bluffing?”At that moment Jason’s expression grew serious. “Trust me,” he said. “I wouldn’t have said anything if I wasn’t sure. I know what I’m doing.”However before Summer could respond, her father’s voice boomed from inside the house. “Jason! Are you coming, or should I assume you’ve already given up?”Jason exchanged a glance

After what felt like day's.Jason and Summer’s father emerged from the lab, their laughter echoing through the house like old friends who had rediscovered a forgotten bond. Jason’s sleeves were rolled up, a faint smear of residue on his hand from the lab work, but his expression was calm and satisfied. Summer’s father, however, looked rejuvenated, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.Summer sat at the dining table, sipping on a glass of water. The hazy remnants of the drug had finally left her system, and her mind felt clearer than it had in hours. She looked up in surprise at the sound of their laughter, her brows furrowing in confusion. It had been years since she had seen her father laugh like that—an easy, genuine laugh that seemed to breathe life into his weary demeanor.Jason walked into the room first, casually wiping his hands on a paper towel. Her father followed close behind, his face alight with enthusiasm. He seemed ten years younger, his eyes sparkling with

At that moment Jason leaned back on the bed, his gaze fixed on the ceiling as he spoke, his tone steady. “I’ll contribute to your medical project, Summer. If you can make a breakthrough, there won’t be any reason for you to quit school. You can chase your dreams and still help your family.”Summer, standing at the doorway, looked at him with a mix of gratitude and hesitation.she didn't understand what Jason, really want to help them, to the point he want to offer them the little money he has. “Jason, you don’t have to do that. You’ve already done so much.”Jason gave her a faint smile. “It’s not just for you. It’s for everyone you could help with that breakthrough. Don’t throw away your dreams so easily, Summer.”Her lips parted as if to argue, but she caught herself. Instead, she nodded, her eyes softening. “Thank you, Jason. Really.”With that, she left the room, her mind swirling with possibilities and doubts. Jason, feeling a sense of resolve, let his eyes close, exhaustion pul

Summer's father walked into the testing room, his heart pounding with a mix of anxiety and determination. The room was sleek and modern, filled with fifty carefully selected customers—PB Design's most valued patrons. These weren’t just any customers; they were influencers, beauty bloggers, and long-time advocates of the brand, people whose opinions could shape the future of a product.The CEO, a sharp-dressed woman with a commanding presence, stepped forward, addressing the room with a practiced smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today,” she began. “As our most trusted customers, we value your input immensely. Today, we’re doing something a little different. We have two exciting new formulas, and instead of the board deciding, we’re letting you choose which one will represent PB Design’s next big breakthrough.”The room buzzed with whispers of intrigue. Summer’s father noticed the customers exchanging curious glances, some leaning forward with interest. The young m
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 154
At that moment Summer’s father froze in his chair, his mind reeling as the CEO’s words sank in. He had come here expecting a celebration, a chance to finally turn his hard work into something meaningful. Instead, he was being blindsided by politics and elitism.“I don’t understand,” Summer’s father said slowly, his voice tinged with disbelief. “Didn’t my product just outperform his? The customers voted for it, not because of a name or a background, but because it works, you all saw it.”At that moment the CEO sighed, leaning back in his leather chair. His expression was calculated, almost pitying. “Mr. Parker, let me be frank. The product is excellent—there’s no denying that. But in our industry, excellence isn’t enough. Marketability is just as important, if not more so. If we announce that the Parker name is behind this, it won’t create the same buzz as attaching the Cater family name.”“So you’re saying my hard work, my formula, is being overlooked because I don’t come from a wea
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 155
Summer’s father stared in disbelief as the security men surrounded him, their imposing figures blocking his path. His voice trembled with a mixture of anger and frustration as he turned back to face the CEO. “You call yourselves innovators? You’re nothing but thieves hiding behind a corporate logo!” His words echoed through the conference room, but they were met with cold indifference.Hearing Summer father words the CEO leaned back in his chair, smirking as he adjusted his tie. “Mr. Parker, let me make this clear: PB Design owns the resources, the reputation, and the market. You, on the other hand, are just a disgraced scientist with no standing. We don’t need your permission to move forward with our product.”At that moment Summer’s father clenched his fists, his knuckles whitening as he felt his anger surge. “That formula is mine! You’re stealing my work!”Immediately the CEO chuckled mockingly. “Correction: it was yours. But you used our facilities, our tools, and our resource

Hearing what Jason just said.Hazel’s mind raced, her face flushing with frustration and embarrassment as Jason’s grip on her wrist tightened. She glared at him, trying to pull away, but his strength left her rooted in place.“Let me go, Jason,” she hissed, her voice low enough to avoid drawing further attention but sharp enough to convey her growing anger. “You’ve already done enough damage by lying, I know you don't have any car, and my father too doesn't have the one everyone will be expecting..”She then paused.“ I thought you will just find a way to get me out here, then you decide to add to my mess.”However Jason didn’t even look at her, his eyes fixed on the street ahead. “Not until the ride gets here,” he said firmly, his tone calm but unyielding.At that moment her friends, who were still loitering by their expensive cars, snickered at the scene. “What ride?” Mia called out, leaning lazily against her Mercedes. “Why didn’t you come with it in the first place, huh? Or did

The moment Summer mumbled under her breath that she’d be going with Jason and Camilla to the restaurant after all, her sister’s ears perked up like a dog who just heard the word “walk.”“What did you say?!” she gasped, eyes wide in disbelief.“I said I’ll be going with them, alright?” Summer muttered, not looking at her.She barely had time to finish her sentence before her sister leapt at her like a rocket, throwing both arms around her with pure joy.“You’re going with them?! You're going?! Oh my God, Summer!” she screamed.“Get off me,” Summer groaned, struggling in her grip.“Nooope! You’re not going anywhere,” her sister said through happy laughter, tightening her hug like a boa constrictor. “You’re finally coming to your senses!”Summer tried to push her off with a grunt, but her sister held her too tightly. Eventually, Summer gave up and let her hold her, rolling her eyes as she sighed.“Fine. Do what you want,” Summer mumbled, but deep down… a little smile tugged at her lips.
CHAPTER 228
At that moment Summer’s jaw clenched tightly as she stepped closer to her sister, her hands balled into fists. “You better not say anything stupid to Jason,” she muttered, her voice low but brimming with warning.Her sister, however, leaned against the doorframe with that same smug smile dancing on her lips, arms folded like a victor at war. “Too late,” she said, tilting her head mockingly. “I heard everything. Every word. ‘Why can’t he just see I have feelings for him?’” She even mimicked the tone, fluttering her eyelashes with exaggerated sweetness. “Poor Jason… so clueless.”Summer’s eyes widened in embarrassment, heat rising up her neck. “You were spying on me?”“I wasn’t spying,” her sister replied, laughing. “You were screaming loud enough for the whole street to hear. Should I play it back?” She tapped her phone playfully.Summer stepped forward, her tone low and sharp. “Delete that or I swear—”“Oh, please,” her sister snapped. “You're always acting like you're in control, but
CHAPTER 227
Summer's voice trembled with rage as she turned sharply toward the door. Her eyes flared as they met her sister's smug expression.“What are you doing there?” Summer snapped, her hands balling into fists at her sides. “Were you standing there the whole time?”Her sister leaned against the doorframe casually, arms folded, a knowing grin spreading across her lips. “I knew it,” she said, her tone light but laced with mockery. “You like him. You actually like Jason.”Summer’s stomach clenched. Her heart pounded against her ribs, not from fear, but from embarrassment and fury. She stepped forward, her face tight with anger. “What are you even talking about?” she hissed. “You were eavesdropping? On me?”“I don’t need to eavesdrop,” her sister said with a roll of her eyes. “You were basically screaming. Crying over a guy who took someone else to Pasu Mikazu. That doesn’t sound like a girl who doesn’t care.”Summer’s breath caught in her throat. Her cheeks flushed. She didn’t like this feelin
CHAPTER 226
Jason stepped away from the soft music and laughter echoing inside Paso Mikazu, standing beside a quiet corner where the call with Summer could come through clearly. Her voice came through low but sharp, laced with something he couldn’t quite place at first—until her tone began to twist."So you’re really there... with Camilla?" Summer asked. Her voice was calm, too calm, but Jason caught the edge in it. It wasn’t the usual Summer. It sounded like... restraint. Jealousy?Jason’s brows furrowed. “Yeah... today’s her birthday. I wanted it to be special for her,” he said honestly. “Why are you sounding like that?”“Like what?” she said, a little too quickly.“Summer, why are you reacting this way? Why do you sound so... off?” he asked, rubbing his temple with his free hand. “Is it because of Paso Mikazu?”Silence.Jason exhaled softly, trying not to overthink it. “Look... the truth is, that’s why I called you earlier. I wanted to tell you that anytime you’re free, just say it, and we’ll
CHAPTER 225
Camilla didn’t say much after Jason’s reply, but her silence was loud. Her jaw tightened ever so slightly, her smile faded in the corners, and her hands, which had once been calmly placed on her lap, were now locked together too tightly. She had been observing, quietly. She always did. And what she was seeing now didn’t sit right with her.‘Summer.’The name alone was enough to stir something in her chest. It wasn’t that she was insecure—far from it. But it was the way Jason spoke about her. The ease in his voice, the calmness, that small smile he always wore whenever Soma’s name was brought up. Camilla saw it. She always saw everything.Jason’s explanation sounded honest. It always did. But something in her gut told her there was more behind Summer’s call. And for some reason, that made her even more upset. Her gaze dropped to her untouched glass of fruit wine. The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, just slightly.Ever since Jason came into her life, things had been different. Unpredictable
CHAPTER 224
Jason held the phone close to his ear, his brow furrowed. The noise from the softly playing instrumental music inside Pasu Mikazu faded into the background as Summer’s voice filtered through.“Jason,” she said, her tone quieter now, but not calm—more like something was being held back. “You’re with Camilla right?”Jason didn’t lie. “Yes… I’m at Pasu Mikazu. It’s her birthday today.”Jason said again, however There was a pause on the other end, and Jason could hear Summer’s faint breath.“Oh,” Summer finally said, her voice flat. “So, no one thought I was worthy enough to be invited too, huh? That’s… interesting.”Jason opened his mouth, but no words came out. The guilt settled in, even though he hadn’t meant it that way. Before he could explain, Summer continued, letting out a soft, bitter laugh.“I mean… I’ve never even stepped foot in Pasu Mikazu before,” she said. “But I guess some girls get first-time privileges.”Jason leaned back slightly, resting his head on the back of the cha
CHAPTER 223
As the suited waiter stepped aside gracefully, he gestured toward the hallway leading to the grand tasting room. “According to the ticket given to you,” he said in a clear and composed voice, “you’ve also been granted the privilege to live stream during your visit. However, I must respectfully remind you—there are certain boundaries.”He bowed his head slightly, maintaining a gentle tone. “The house-special drinks and delicacies prepared exclusively by Pasu Mikazu chefs are part of our confidential culinary signature. Those may not be recorded or streamed. But for everything else—the live cooking, the architecture, even the presentations—you may capture as much as you like.”At that moment Camilla blinked twice, still taking in the glow of the floor tiles beneath her feet. Her mouth parted slightly as if to speak, but all she could say was, “Wow.”Her friend, still gaping at the walls glittering with soft golden accents and hand-carved art, reached for Jason’s arm without realizing it
CHAPTER 222
As soon as the glass doors of Pasu Mikazu slid open and Jason, Camilla, and her friend stepped inside, it was as if they had walked into a different world entirely.For a moment, none of them said a word, the silence wasn’t awkward—it was reverent.The air inside carried a faint floral scent, soft like morning dew. The walls glowed, not from paint or wallpaper, but from something far more delicate—an opalescent finish that shimmered under the ambient lighting, like crushed pearls set into marble. The entire floor reflected their movements like a perfect mirror, smooth, pristine, and warm underfoot.At that moment Camilla froze mid-step.“Jason…” she whispered, her eyes wide, voice nearly stolen by awe, “this place…”Even her friend—usually the one who always had something sarcastic to say—had her mouth slightly open. “Are we… are we standing inside a dream?”It wasn’t just beautiful, It was unreal.Everything looked as if it had been designed by a deity with taste finer than anything
CHAPTER 221
At that moment A thick silence swept over the entire entrance of PASUMI KAZU.For a second, no one moved. Not Jason. Not Camilla. Not even the security officers who had come at the former guard’s call. The air hung heavy—like it didn’t know if it should gasp or stay completely still.Everyone just… stared.Mouths slightly parted. Eyes wide. One of the four arriving security men blinked twice in disbelief, unsure if he’d just seen what he thought he did.Even Camilla’s friends across the street, who had been laughing and whispering just a moment ago, froze with their phones still held up mid-livestream. The camera capturing the moment jolted slightly as the person recording fumbled.The elegant man stood still after delivering the slap, his hand still slightly raised, as if the echo hadn’t yet finished ringing out.The security man who had been barking confidently minutes ago stood stiff. His face had turned red, not just from the slap but from confusion, fear, and sudden realization.
