Seeing what Jason just did Camilla blinked as Jason slipped his phone back into his pocket. “Wait… that’s it?” she whispered, glancing at her friend, then back at Jason.

However Jason didn’t reply. He stood calm, his hands relaxed by his sides, his eyes fixed ahead like he was simply waiting for something he already knew would happen.

Immediately Camilla’s friend leaned in and whispered, “He didn’t even say a full sentence… just one line? That’s who he called?”

“Yeah,” Camilla muttered, her voice soft but unsure. “He didn’t even sound worried.”

At that moment a strange tension settled over them—quiet but heavy. Then Camilla bit her lip, half in confusion, half in nervousness.

Across the road, the group of friends who had been laughing earlier were still recording. One of them zoomed in and chuckled. “Oh wow, he really made a call. What now, Jason? Is a helicopter coming to pick you up?”

Hearing what they just said, The security guard snorted, folding his arms in front of the entrance.

    At that moment Camilla didn’t flinch. She squared her shoulders and stepped forward again. “Do you think we’re just some ordinary kids? That children don’t come from wealthy families anymore?”However The security man didn’t answer at first. His gaze flicked between her firm expression and the phone in her hand. At that moment he adjusted his belt, the corner of his mouth twitching upward as if he’d heard a joke only he understood.“My grandfather has booked Pasumi Kazoo before,” she added, her voice rising, “Once, in fact. So don’t stand there and act like we don’t belong.”Her words hung in the air. Sharp. Unapologetic.Upon hearing what Camila The security man chuckled. It wasn’t mocking—it was more of a tired laugh, the kind that came from someone who’d seen too much. He folded his arms. “I get it. You’re trying to stand your ground. That’s good. But right now, you're just behaving like a child.”Camilla’s breath caught.He went on, shaking his head slightly. “Even if your grandf

    Upon hearing what Jason just said, The security man let out a deep laugh. Not the amused kind—but the dismissive, scoffing kind that came from a place of disbelief and condescension.“You?” he chuckled, shaking his head slowly as he folded his arms. “You really just said that?”Immediately Camilla and her friend turned their eyes toward Jason, startled by the sudden shift in tone.However Jason remained still, calm, his eyes locked on the guard.The man pointed a thick finger at Jason’s chest. “As small as you are—what are you? Maybe second year in university? You don’t even look like someone who has finished growing. And you’re here… threatening me?”He scoffed louder now, eyes scanning Jason’s simple, clean outfit. “Look at you. You think just because you wore a shirt with a collar, and you brought two pretty girls here, suddenly you're the king of the city?”Hearing his words Jason’s jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t speak.The guard leaned in a little, his breath sharp with mo

    Camilla’s hand tightened gently around Jason’s wrist. Her voice came out quiet, almost pleading. “Jason, it’s not the end of everything. Maybe we should just go… try to figure out how the booking was even made. Maybe someone tricked us. We could come back later when things are clearer.”Jason didn’t even look at her. His eyes were locked on the security man like stone against stone. But Camilla could feel it—something in him was beginning to boil.Her friend stepped forward hesitantly, voice softer. “Jason… we believe you. We do. It’s just… maybe this was a scam. Maybe whoever handled the booking wasn’t legit.”Jason turned to them now, slowly. His voice was low but firm. “Be the last to say that.”Camilla froze.“I know what I’m doing,” he said, his tone sharper now. “I personally booked this place myself. I didn’t go through any agency. I called. I spoke to someone. I got the confirmation directly from the top.”Camilla’s breath caught. What?Her friend’s eyes widened. “Wait… you… b

    The moment Jason spoke, silence hit like a wave. The once-smirking security guard straightened up, his pride pricked deeper than before.Then he let out a short scoff. “You think you're something, huh?” he muttered, barely loud enough but full of resentment. “Do your worst, boy. Go ahead.”Then he folded his arms, chin tilted high, but his words were sharp with bitterness. “I’ve kept quiet long enough. Thought I was doing you a favor. But now? You think you can come here and raise your voice at me? Someone like you?”His eyes narrowed, voice rising just slightly as if trying to draw a line in the sand. “You're just a kid. I’ve dealt with dozens like you. You think because you’ve got some polished shoes and you’ve memorized a few names, that gives you a pass to walk all over people who know their job?”However Jason didn’t flinch. His hands remained at his sides, relaxed, Calm. “I’ll personally deal with people like you,” he continued, words spilling now like he couldn’t stop. “Peopl

    At that moment The arrogant security guard straightened his collar and took two stiff steps toward the man in the expensive suit. Though he tried to maintain his confidence, there was a nervous flicker in his eyes. Then he cleared his throat and put on a tone that sounded respectful—on the surface.“Sir,” he began, dipping his head slightly. “Please, I apologize for the little scene you’re witnessing in front of Pasu Mikazu.”However the man in the suit remained silent, his expression unreadable, hands folded behind his back. His polished shoes gleamed under the lights.“I’ve already handled the matter,” the guard continued, trying to sound efficient. “I intercepted this group of children attempting to trespass using a fake invitation.”Immediately he jabbed a thumb behind him toward Jason, Camilla, and her friend.“That boy—him,” he said, pointing squarely at Jason without hesitation, “is a fraudster. I tried to warn him politely, sir. Told them to leave. But the fool’s been standin

    The laughter from the group echoed like a cruel chorus as one of the boys sneered, “Who the hell does that guy think he is? Booking Pasumika Zoo? What is he, the president’s son?”Another girl chuckled. “More like a fraud with confidence.”They laughed louder, pointing at Jason as if mocking him gave them status. Their phones were still up, some recording, others live streaming. Every second was another notch of humiliation in their eyes.Soma stood a few steps away, her jaw clenched tight.She hadn’t said a word since hearing the news. Her arms were folded, fingernails digging into her skin. The heat in her chest wasn’t just embarrassment—it was jealousy. Sharp, sudden jealousy that curled its way through her thoughts and refused to let go.Jason is really taking Camilla… to Pasumika Zoo?Her eyes scanned the scene again, landing on Camilla’s calm face as she stood quietly beside Jason. Camilla didn’t even look worried. No tension in her shoulders, no doubt in her eyes. She just… sto

    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.

    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

    Summer stared at Jason, her mouth slightly open, but no words came out.What he just said… it caught her completely off guard.Everything she had been rehearsing in her mind—how she would start, what she would say, even the tone she would use—just vanished like smoke. Her hands, which had been resting nervously on the table, stiffened. She couldn't even think straight, much less find the right words to say to him.Her mind raced, panic threatening to take over.What if he reacts badly? What if he misunderstands?But deep down, Summer knew she couldn’t back down. She had to say it, no matter how messy it came out.She lowered her eyes briefly, gathering the last bit of courage she had left."Camila called me today," she finally said, her voice not as steady as she wished it would be. "She said... they're going to have a meeting. She said I'm going to be... following everything that's going to happen."Summer lifted her gaze slowly to meet Jason’s, trying to read his expression but find

    Jason sat in his car for a moment, his fingers tapping against the steering wheel. The anticipation gnawed at him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off with Soma. He had tried to brush it off, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.He turned the engine over and drove to the place where he was supposed to meet her. The drive seemed to stretch longer than usual, as if the roads themselves were teasing him, making him question what was coming next.When he arrived, Soma was already seated. Her back was straight, her arms crossed, and her eyes were fixed on the ground, but the tension in her posture was unmistakable. The slight furrow of her brow, the clenching of her jaw—it all painted a picture of frustration. But it was the mix of emotions in her eyes that threw him off. There was anger, yes, but there was also something else. Something softer, yet heavy with worry.Jason walked toward her, his steps deliberate. As he stood before her, he couldn’t

    Summer sat on her bed, restless. Her fingers tapped nervously on the edge of her phone until she finally gave in and dialed Jason’s number. It didn’t even ring twice before he picked up.“Hello?” Jason’s voice came through, slightly muffled, like he was moving around.“Jason,” Summer said quickly, not wasting time. “There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important.”Jason paused. “Alright,” he replied. “But I’m with the guys right now. We’re about to head to the gym. You know that fight competition is in a few weeks, and I need to stay sharp. I was planning to do some sparring—flex the muscles a bit. I promise we can talk after, okay?”Summer’s heart dropped. Her brows pinched in disbelief. She sat up straight, her tone sharp and cut through the line.“Jason,” she said coldly, “don’t even think about doing that. I’m serious.”Jason froze on the other end, confused. “What? It’s just training, Summer. I’ve done it before—”“No,” she snapped. “Don’t try it. Don’t be stupid.”

    when Summer heard what Camilla just said, there was a sharp stillness on her end of the call. Her hand clenched unconsciously at her side, and for a few seconds, she said nothing. Her heart thumped like a drum against her chest, but her voice—when it came—was calm, even a little cheerful.“Oh… wow,” Summer said, forcing out a laugh. “That’s… that’s great, Camilla. I mean, truly. I’m happy for both of you.”Camilla didn’t catch the falter in her tone. Summer had trained herself well to hide things like this.“Thanks, Summer. I knew you’d understand,” Camilla said warmly. “That’s why I called you. Because I know how close you and Jason are.”Summer’s throat tightened. She bit her lower lip so hard she nearly broke the skin. “Yeah,” she replied quietly. “Anything you both want to do, I’m fully in support of it. Anything at all.”But even as she spoke, her chest was burning.She was trying to be strong—trying to say the right things—but her thoughts were racing in all the wrong directions

  • CHAPTER 231

    Summer just kept smiling, her tone sweet, calm—too calm. She nodded slowly as Camilla spoke, not giving anything away. “That’s how Jason is,” she said, her voice soft but steady. “He’s the kind of person who would move mountains for someone, even if they don’t ask. He always pays attention to the little things. You’re lucky.”Camilla let out a dry laugh, folding her arms as she studied Summer’s face carefully. She didn’t like that response. It sounded too perfect, too rehearsed. There was no twitch of envy, no shift in her expression—just a practiced smile.That silence felt loud.“So,” Camilla started, tilting her head, “you’re not surprised Jason booked out Pasumi Kazoo?”Summer blinked, her brows lifted a bit. “I mean, it’s Jason. He does impossible things and makes it look simple.”Camilla’s lips pressed into a thin line. She looked away for a moment, then back at her. “That’s exactly what worries me,” she muttered under her breath.Summer tilted her head. “What?”“Nothing.” Camil

  • CHAPTER 230

    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

    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.

    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

    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
