The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 196
The moment the words sank in—that the Miracle Doctor had actually agreed—Alyssa’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape like she’d misheard. Her hands rose to her lips, then dropped to her chest, where she could feel her heart pounding wildly. She blinked several times, unable to hide the emotion rushing through her like a wave of warm light."Wait... did he just say yes?" she whispered, almost to herself.When no one answered, she turned to Jason for confirmation, her voice trembling, "Jason… is this real?"Jason gave a soft smile. “Yes, Alyssa. It’s real.”Upon hearing what Jason just said, Her knees nearly buckled from the overwhelming joy. For a moment, she didn’t care who was watching. She laughed through her tears, a stunned kind of joy, the kind that fills lungs with hope and makes the air feel different.She grabbed Jason’s hands and squeezed tightly. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”Camilla stood nearby, her eyes glassy with emotion. She had known Jason was different, but t

Jason stepped slightly away from the others, slipping his phone from his pocket when he saw Summer’s name glowing on the screen. He answered with a low, calm “Hello,” and pressed the phone to his ear.“Jason,” Summer's voice came through fast, tight, filled with concern. “I just got off a call with my dad. Something’s wrong. They announced the new executive director as you—but the actual contract was delivered to my father’s name. He’s the one assigned, not you. But the public statement made it seem like it’s you. What… what did you do?”Jason glanced up toward the sky briefly, his voice composed. “I did that,” he said. “I asked them to announce it that way.”“What?” Summer’s voice cracked slightly in disbelief.“It’s better this way, Summer,” Jason said gently. “If they knew your father was the one behind that position, a lot of people would’ve started digging. He's better off not being in the spotlight until everything is stable. Trust me on this.”There was a long silence on the ot
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 198
At that moment Summer’s brow furrowed slightly as she watched her younger sister retreat back toward the hallway with Jason. Her gaze lingered on their backs a little longer than necessary. Something didn’t sit right.“Wait,” she said, walking forward slowly. “Is there… something going on between the two of you?”At that moment Jason turned slightly, confusion flickering in his eyes, while her younger sister immediately waved her hand in protest.“No—nothing like that!” she said quickly, forcing a small, nervous laugh. “We’re just… friends now. That’s all. I mean, he helped us today. Is it wrong to be respectful?”Hearing what her sister just said Summer didn’t say anything at first. She just stared, quiet but sharp-eyed. Jason offered her a small smile, as if to say she was overthinking. “Summer,” he said gently, “you don’t have to worry.”But before she could respond, her sister did something unexpected—she looped her arm into Jason’s and tugged him playfully toward the hallway.
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 199
Jason stood up from the dining table, politely nodding at everyone as he thanked Summer’s father for the warm meal. Though smiles and laughter had filled the room moments ago, something unspoken still lingered in the air. Especially between him and Summer.He valued her. Not just because of what she’d done for him or what they’d been through, but because of the quiet bond they’d slowly built. A bond he didn’t want to break. Jason wasn’t blind—he could sense things were shifting, but he chose not to assume. He respected boundaries, and if friendship was all they could ever share, then he’d treasure it fully.“Some feelings are better left alone,” he thought to himself, his hands casually brushing against his pants as he walked to the door. “Summer wouldn’t even want that. So why entertain it?”Summer followed closely behind, clutching her phone in one hand. She didn’t say anything at first. Her eyes kept flickering toward Jason, then quickly away.Her younger sister, eyes mischievous a

Roland slowly turned toward him. His lips parted slightly as if to argue—but then stopped. For the first time, there was hesitation in his eyes.Valerie looked between them, catching the shift.“It’s a desperate move,” she said carefully. “But it might be our only card.”Another executive chimed in, “And if we play it now, maybe—just maybe—he’ll bite.”The room went silent again, this time not from fear, but from possibility.Then one voice broke through.“Should we just… call him back?” someone asked. “And give him—at least—try to give him a better deal than what they just offered him in that other company?”The tension in the boardroom thickened like fog after a storm.Silence stretched—painfully, uncomfortably.A middle-aged executive with a graying beard slammed his fist lightly on the table. “No,” he said, his voice low but filled with certainty. “That’s not going to work. That’s not even the point anymore.”Eyes turned to him, confused.He continued, “What better deal can we eve

He looked around, searching the room for agreement, but none came.He gave a bitter smile and shrugged. “Well, that’s my opinion. That’s my own cup of tea, like they say.”Then he leaned back, arms crossed. “But as long as I’m here, one thing is certain—whether anyone else sees it or not—I like Jason. And I’m going to make sure that this relationship he’s having with Camilla? It’s not going to end. It’s going to continue. Camilla is going to continue.”The room fell into an uneasy hush the moment Jason stepped in. Faces stiffened. Some forced polite smiles. Others didn’t even try. The air was thick with judgment—silent whispers hidden behind glances, as if they all silently agreed that Jason didn’t belong.Camilla stood a few steps behind him, her hands folded tightly in front of her. She could feel it too—the tension, the quiet disbelief rippling through the air.One of the cousins muttered under his breath, “He’s just a university student… What’s he doing here in a suit?”Another ch
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 202
The silence that followed was no longer disbelief—it was stunned realization.Her grandfather slowly looked at her, eyes wide. “He… came?” he said, almost in a whisper, as if the words themselves were too heavy to carry.And for the first time in a very long while, Camilla saw something on her grandfather’s face that she wasn’t used to seeing—uncertainty.Even her uncle, usually quick to argue or brush things aside, was staring at her like she had just said the sky had fallen.“He came?”“What happened? How is that even possible?” Camilla’s uncle couldn’t hold it in anymore. His voice trembled slightly, his earlier disbelief quickly turning into desperate curiosity.Camilla nodded slowly. “He came.”The room fell silent again.“He really came,” she repeated. “The Miracle Doctor. He showed up.”Her grandfather’s jaw tightened as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, trying to make sense of it all. “You’re telling me that the Miracle Doctor came to this hospital… because J
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 203
Camilla’s voice was steady, but her heartbeat was not.“Some of the doctors actually witnessed it,” she said, her eyes scanning the room, daring anyone to interrupt again. “They were the ones who came out begging Jason to help them speak to the Miracle Doctor. But Jason didn’t say a word to them. He didn’t even look in their direction.”Her grandfather slowly removed his reading glasses, the lenses catching a gleam of light as he placed them gently on the side table. His brows creased, not out of anger, but out of the sheer weight of what he was hearing. “Wait…” he muttered. “So you mean… this wasn’t just some quiet private visit?”Camilla shook her head. “No. Everyone at that hospital knows about it now. You can go there and confirm it. The staff—especially the senior doctors—they’re all talking. It’s everywhere. They saw it with their own eyes. My friend’s case… it was beyond repair. She had no pulse, her leg was crushed, and yet, after he came… everything changed.”Her grandfather

Camilla sat beside her grandfather in the garden behind the estate. The quiet hum of the fountain nearby was the only sound between them. Her grandfather’s face had that thoughtful crease again—one she’d come to recognize when something serious was weighing on him.“So,” he said slowly, his eyes still fixed on the koi fish swimming in circles, “this Jason... The person who introduced him to you... was it a guy or a lady?”Camilla didn’t look up right away. She picked at the edge of her sleeve, trying to act normal, though her chest was already tightening with anticipation. “A lady,” she replied.Her grandfather finally turned to face her, his tone unreadable. “A lady?”There was a long pause.Bit by bit, something began to settle in the old man’s heart. Something he couldn’t quite place. His fingers tapped his cane lightly. The first bit—doubt.He wasn’t sure he liked this. Not because Jason wasn’t remarkable. No, that was clear. The young man had done more than enough to prove himsel
CHAPTER 229
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
