At that moment Hazel felt her face burn with embarrassment, her fingers curling around the fabric of the dress she was holding. She could already see where this was going, and she hated it.

Jason, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, his expression unreadable as he looked at Natalie with calm detachment.

Natalie let out a scoff before dramatically flipping her hair over her shoulder. “Oh, please,” she said, her voice dripping with mockery. “Are we seriously doing this? Hazel, did you really bring a comedian with you just to make yourself feel better?”

Before Jason could respond, Natalie pulled out her phone and, with a smug smile, turned the screen toward them.

“This,” she announced, “is how real shopping is done.”

The screen displayed her latest purchase—a collection of high-end designer items totaling well over a hundred thousand dollars. Hazel felt her stomach twist. She didn’t care about Natalie’s shopping spree, but she knew exactly what her cousin was doing. She wasn’t just show

    Upon hearing what Jason just said.Natalie let out a loud, mocking laugh, her voice laced with disbelief. “Oh, this is rich! First, you throw away ten thousand dollars just to get in here, and now you want to buy the most expensive dress? Do you even have the slightest idea how much that would cost?”At that moment She crossed her arms and tilted her head smugly. “Let me educate you, Jason. The cheapest dress here starts at twenty thousand dollars. That’s just the entry-level price for people who think they belong here but really don’t. There’s a dress worth over two hundred thousand dollars—and even that isn’t the most expensive piece.” She scoffed. “Do you still want to act like you can afford this?”Natalie knows Jason was full of talk, clearly he doesn't have the resources to do some, without being told she knows he was just acting all big because of Hazel.But now his big mouth has landed him in trouble and she was going to capitalize on it.next time Hazel would see her and run

She couldn't believe the so-called elites thought they could walk around, throwing insults and acting superior just because they had platinum cards. But today, they would learn that money alone didn’t make them untouchable.She turned to Jason with a polite but eager expression. “Do you still want to see the dress, sir?”Jason gave her a calm nod. “Bring it in.”Immediately her smile widened. “Please, follow me.”The moment she spoke, the atmosphere in the store shifted.

    At that moment Hazel didn’t even think.Fury surged through her as she turned on Jason, shoving him hard. “Are you insane?” Her voice was sharp, panicked. “You didn’t even read it before signing?”Immediately her chest tightened. The reality of the situation hit her like a ton of bricks.She couldn't believe Jason had ruined everything.Her reputation—the reputation he had helped her build—was now hanging by a thread. One wrong move, and it would all be gone. What if her friends found out? What if they saw her scrubbing floors in a mall where she was supposed to be a VIP?The thought made her dizzy.She hit Jason’s chest with both hands, eyes blazing. “I hate you!”Seeing what Hazel was doing, immediately Laughter erupted around them.The spectators, once frozen in disbelief, now erupted into chuckles, whispers turning into full-blown mockery.“Did you see that? She actually thought he could afford it!”“Oh man, this is gold. He really played himself.”“He probably doesn’t even have

    At that moment Hazel’s cousin erupted into laughter, clutching his stomach as if this was the funniest thing he had ever witnessed.“Hazel!” he called out between laughs, shaking his head. “How exactly are you going to pay five million dollars?” He wiped a tear from the corner of his eye before smirking. “Your dad’s whole house isn’t even worth five million dollars!”The statement sent another wave of murmurs through the crowd. People whispered among themselves, some chuckling, some shaking their heads in amusement.Then Hazel clenched her fists.This was humiliating.She shot a glare at her cousin, but she wasn’t done. “Even if you were really part of the Parker family,” she continued, voice dripping with mockery, “you wouldn’t dare spend five million on a single piece of clothing.”More laughter followed.Hazel turned to Jason, eyes burning with frustration.“Jason,” she hissed. “That dress is five million dollars.” She gestured toward it as if she still couldn’t believe what she wa

    At the saleslady’s command, more security personnel moved in, positioning themselves strategically by the entrance.There was no way out.they would not allow Jason go anywhere.The tension in the room thickened, but Jason remained completely unbothered. He glanced at the saleslady, then at the impatient crowd, and with a small nod, he simply said, “It won’t even take twenty minutes.”everyone was silence.And then—the room erupted.Laughter echoed against the high-end walls of DF Shopping Mall.People howled, shaking their heads in disbelief. Some even leaned on counters for support, struggling to breathe through their laughter.“Twenty minutes?!” someone repeated, wiping their eyes.“This guy’s delusional!”Jason, however, paid no attention to them. Without another word, he pulled out his phone, typed a quick message to the Mayor, then casually slipped his phone back into his pocket.The act alone made people laugh even harder.Hazel’s cousin turned to her, eyes filled with mockery.

    The moment the staff member returned with the mop and bucket, something unexpected happened.The main entrance swung open with force.The air in the room shifted as the manager stormed in, his polished shoes clicking against the marble floor.Behind him, a group of men in black suits followed, their presence exuding silent authority.The laughter, the taunts, the amusement—everything died instantly.The manager’s sharp voice cut through the silence like a blade.“What the hell is going on here?!”The command boomed, making even the security guards flinch.All eyes darted to the saleslady.She stood frozen for a moment, her heart pounding.Why was the manager here?This was supposed to be her moment. She had planned everything perfectly—she was going to handle this situation flawlessly and then report to the manager afterward.If she had executed everything smoothly, the owners of DF Shopping Mall would hear about her.They would praise her.Maybe even promote her.But now—the manager

    At that moment The saleslady stood frozen, her mind completely blank.This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.She had been the one in control. She had mocked Jason, humiliated him, and even ordered the mop and water for his punishment.Now—she was the one being punished.Her fingers trembled, her face burning with humiliation.Hazel’s cousin wasn’t any better. She stared at Jason like he was some demonic force, someone she could no longer understand.Then, in a voice filled with frustration, she burst out, “Why should I be involved in this?!”Her voice shook slightly, her usual arrogance nowhere to be found.The manager, who had already lost all patience, turned to her with an expression so cold it made her step back slightly.“Because,” he said firmly, “you disrupted the service of DF Mall.”His eyes narrowed. “And for that, you will be punished.”Hazel’s cousin felt a chill run down her spine.She opened her mouth to argue—but one look at the manager’s face told her she had no c

    Jason shook his head. “Nope. My friend doesn’t like strangers.”Hazel frowned but didn’t push.The Rolls-Royce glided smoothly through the city streets until they reached their destination—Summer’s father’s house.The place was simple but well-kept, a reflection of the man who lived there.Inside, Summer was tending to her father, adjusting his blankets and making sure he was comfortable.The moment she saw them, her brows furrowed.“What took you so long?” she demanded, arms crossed.Hazel, still half-drained from the ordeal, let out a deep sigh.“You won’t believe what we just went through,” she muttered.She then launched into the full story, sparing no details.Summer’s eyes widened. Her mouth opened, closed, then opened again.“You’re telling me,” she said slowly, “that Jason—Jason—just casually threw down five million dollars for a dress?!”Hazel nodded.Summer glanced at Jason, who looked completely unfazed.“I don’t even know why I’m still surprised,” she muttered under her br

    At the Private Dinner TableThe weight of Jason’s words settled over the room like a storm brewing on the horizon.No one spoke for a second—not because they didn’t want to, but because they didn’t know how to respond.Rio Grade Design.That wasn’t just any company.That was the company.A fortress of exclusivity.A place where money, family influence, and powerful connections meant nothing.You either earned your way in—or you were nobody to them.And yet, Jason just said he had connections there.A sharp laugh broke the silence.Dry. Disbelieving.The guy in the navy suit, who had been questioning Jason all night, shook his head.“Do you even hear yourself?” he scoffed, leaning forward.His eyes gleamed with frustration, like he was trying to convince himself Jason was lying.“No one has connections in Rio Grade Design.”A few people nodded, murmuring in agreement.A girl in gold silk folded her arms.“That company doesn’t allow outsiders to pull strings. That’s their whole reputati

    At the Private Dinner TableThe weight of Jason’s words settled over the room like a storm waiting to break.The laughter was gone.The mocking smirks had disappeared.Now, there was only stunned silence.Because if what Jason was saying was true…Then he wasn’t just some random junior.He was someone who had walked into DF Shopping Mall, dropped five million dollars in cash, and walked out with a dress that had been untouched for years.A dress that even the richest among them wouldn’t dare to touch.The murmurs spread.A few people leaned toward each other, whispering.Camila could see it—the doubt, the disbelief, but also… the curiosity.They wanted to challenge him.They wanted to tear the story apart.But the problem was… they couldn’t.Because the rumor was real.Everyone in their world had heard it—that someone had bought the DF symbol dress for five million dollars in cash.And now—Jason was saying it was him.Someone finally broke the silence.A guy in a gray suit, his voice

    At the Private Dinner TableThe air remained thick even after everyone sat back down.Jason could feel it.The way their eyes still lingered on him, waiting, expecting him to slip.Camila’s defense had stopped them—for now.But it hadn’t changed their minds.They still thought he was a fraud.A scammer.And now, they wanted proof.The guy in the navy suit smirked, tapping his finger against the rim of his wine glass.“So, Jason.” His voice was smooth, calculated. “Since you were keeping a low profile, prove it.”A few people nodded in agreement.Some even leaned forward slightly, intrigued.Jason could tell—they weren’t just asking.They were challenging him.Because if he failed to prove himself here, whatever respect he had gained would vanish instantly.Camila crossed her arms, irritation flickering in her gaze.“Seriously?” she scoffed.“You just asked him all these questions, accused him of being a con artist, and now you want proof? What, are we in court?”A few people chuckled

    At the Private Dinner TableThe pressure in the room was thick.Jason was being scrutinized, tested.Camila could feel it—the weight of their stares, the unspoken challenge in their words.They weren’t just curious.They wanted to see him fail.To prove that he was nothing.Her fingers tightened slightly around her fork.Then—she cleared her throat.Loud enough for everyone to hear.“Alright, that’s enough.”Her voice was firm, sharp.The entire table paused.Camila leaned forward slightly, her eyes scanning each of them.“This isn’t an interview for my boyfriend. This is my pre-birthday party.”Her tone hardened.“Why the hell are you all asking him these questions? Are you trying to say I’m lying?”A heavy silence followed.For a moment, no one spoke.Then, someone sighed, shaking their head.“No one’s saying that, Camila. We were just curious.”A few people nodded, pretending to back off.Camila could tell—they weren’t dropping it.They were just changing tactics.And sure enough—

    At the Private Dinner TableThe atmosphere shifted the moment Jason stood up.No hesitation. No nerves. Just pure confidence.Camila's classmates exchanged glances, some amused, some intrigued.“Wait, is he actually serious?” someone murmured.A girl in a wine-colored dress covered her mouth, stifling a giggle. “He’s really going to play?”Somebody in a navy suit, the one who had pulled up the video, leaned back in his chair, smirking.“This should be interesting.”Jason didn’t acknowledge any of them.His movements were calm, calculated.He walked toward the sleek, black keyboard that had just been brought in.The hotel staff carefully positioned it, making sure it was properly set up.The air was thick with anticipation.Some expected him to fail.Others just wanted to see what he’d do.Camila, however, was holding her breath.Her thoughts raced.Jason had never played the piano in front of her.He had never even mentioned it.So… was he bluffing?Was this just another act of defian

    Outside the Private SuiteCamila walked up to Jason, her posture poised as always, but there was a slight stiffness in her movements.She exhaled softly before speaking.“Jason, I’m sorry.”Jason tilted his head slightly, his eyes calm and unreadable.“For what?”Camila hesitated for just a fraction of a second before answering.“For not telling you about the pre-birthday party.”Jason let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head.“There’s nothing to apologize for.”Camila’s brows furrowed slightly, sensing something off in his tone.Then Jason spoke again, his voice calm, distant.“Our relationship is fake anyway.”Her fingers curled slightly.Something about the way he said it—like it was a fact, like it was obvious—bothered her.Not because he was mistaken.But because lately, she had started to forget that.She had gotten used to him.To having him around.To the way he never tried to impress her, never treated her like she was above him.And yet, here he was—reminding her.Camila to

    Jason leaned back slightly, his expression still unreadable.“Camila didn’t tell me.”Camila’s grandfather exhaled, shaking his head.“Of course, she didn’t,” he muttered. “That girl only thinks about herself sometimes.”Jason remained silent.The old man continued, his tone firmer now.“She left this morning to join her classmates for the pre-birthday party.”Jason’s eyes narrowed slightly.She had already gone ahead without saying a word to him?Camila had always been impulsive, but something about this still felt off.Her grandfather, as if sensing his thoughts, leaned forward.“I want you to be there, Jason.”His voice was not a request.Jason met his gaze. “Why?”The old man exhaled again, this time more slowly. “Last year, when Camila’s classmates held this pre-birthday celebration, everyone came with their boyfriend or girlfriend.”His eyes darkened slightly.“Everyone… except Camila.”Jason said nothing, but he could already see where this was going.“She was the only one ther

    At that moment Jason leaned back slightly, his gaze calm, unwavering.“I’ll pay the amount,” he said smoothly. “But on one condition.”The CEO raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”Jason’s smirk deepened. “You have to announce publicly that someone purchased the dress for thirty million dollars.”At that A beat of silence followed.Then—The woman’s eyes flickered with something unreadable.The room itself felt heavier.For the first time in their conversation, she didn’t respond immediately.Instead, she studied him carefully, as if trying to find a crack in his confidence.Did he really have that kind of money?Did he even flinch at the price?No.He was completely composed.As if thirty million dollars was nothing.Her fingers lightly tapped against her armrest as she exhaled slowly.“…Interesting,” she murmured.Jason didn’t blink. “So? Is it a deal?”The woman was silent for another second—then, surprisingly, she reached out her hand.Jason took it.They shook hands.It wasn’t just an agreem

    At that moment Jason leaned back in his chair, his expression calm, almost amused.“How much are you willing to pay for me to return the dress?”The CEO studied him for a moment, then smirked.“I’ll give you two million dollars.”Jason raised an eyebrow. “Two million?”She nodded. “You’ve already taken all the praise for buying it. Giving you the full amount would be a loss for me.”At that moment Jason exhaled lightly, as if he found the situation ridiculous.Then, he shook his head. “That won’t work for me.”The woman arched a brow. “Oh? And why not?”Jason’s gaze didn’t waver. “Because if people see that the dress is back in the store in less than a day,” he said smoothly, “then I’d be the biggest loser of them all.”His tone was calm, but firm.The CEO’s smirk faltered slightly.Jason continued, his voice dropping just a notch lower. “If you really want the dress back, give me ten million dollars, and I’ll hand it over.”The scene went silent.For a moment, there was nothing but
