Jason's sudden appearance caused the security guard who was about to hold Derek to immediately let go, his face drained of color as he realized who Jason was.

The tension in the air thickened, and his hand started shaking for a moment before the man and his associates slowly backed off, their hands raised slightly as a sign of surrender. They can't mess with someone like Jason; they can't do that.

With a low and shaking voice, he said.

“We understand the situation now,” the man stammered, his eyes darting nervously between Jason and Derek.

“We didn't know it was you… we Recognized Eason and his gang as terrorists, that's beyond us. We have an idea of what they were capable of.”

The others nodded in agreement, their fear palpable. They clearly don't want to be part of this, no matter what.

Whatever the mess Eason had created. With a slight gesture from Jason, they hurriedly left, leaving Eason and his gang behind.

They are just going to pretend as if they never came or saw anything.

    They all greeted each other before Summer Said.“I want you to meet my friends. This is Emily, Lily, and Grace.”Jason smiles warmly as he nods to each of the girls.“Nice to meet you all. I’m Jason.”Derek nodded in greeting.“Hey, I’m Derek.”Emily with a shy smile, glancing at Derek.“Hi… nice to meet you guys.”Lily with a confident smile said.“Hi there!”Grace started grinning mischievously.“Hey, guys!”Summer at that moment continued as he pointed at Derek.“So, Derek here is a martial artist. He’s been training for years.”Emily eyes wide with admiration, turning to Derek.“Wow, really? That’s amazing! What kind of martial arts do you practice?”Derek was a bit modest. He knows he's not that good at it, but he was forced to answer.“I mostly focus on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai. It’s been a big part of my life for a while now.”Emily smiled.Lily then turned to Jason, curiously, “Summer mentioned you’re in the art department, Jason. What do you specialize in?”Jason sa

    Jason stood just outside side the hotel, his eyes narrowing as he spotted Robert walking in with Natalie. The sight of her made Jason’s stomach twist in knots. Natalie wasn’t just some girl; she was Jade’s best friend, and Jade was Jason’s ex-girlfriend. To see Natalie with Robert was a shock to him; he wasn't expecting to see her here and with someone like Robert. At that moment, his mind immediately raced back to the incident that had led to this moment.Natalie had been punished by the mayor for lying about Jason during a clash at a restaurant.Her punishment involved working overtime at Mr. Landon’s restaurant. But now that Mr. Landon had been tragically killed, and the restaurant was temporarily shut down, Jason couldn’t help but wonder if that’s why she was here now. Still, the thought that she had seemingly stepped into Jade’s place so quickly made his heart ache.Jade had taken a leave from school after the humiliation Jason had caused her, and now it seemed Robert was using

    Summer's heart sank when the front desk clerk informed her that the booking number wasn't valid. She stood there, frozen for a moment; the shock was evident on her face. Her hand, still clutching her phone, trembled slightly as she stared at the screen in disbelief. This can't be happening. She had been so confident, so sure that everything was in order, that she got the confirmation message on her phone. Beside her, Robert’s loud and mocking laughter broke the silence. He doubled over, clutching his stomach as he sneered at Summer. “I told you it was an error earlier, Summer! You should have known better, never to cross paths with me. Now, pay up. I want my money.”Summer’s face flushed with embarrassment and anger. She wasn’t the type to make mistakes like this, and the idea of handing over $100,000 to Robert made her blood boil. But she wasn’t ready to give up. Not yet, not when she got the confirmation on her phone.“There must be some mistake,” Summer insisted, her voice shaki

    The man at the front desk was visibly taken aback when he saw the ticket number. His eyes widened as he stared at the screen, the shock evident on his face. He had been working at this prestigious hotel for years, and in all that time, he had never once seen a booking for the Heavenly Box. It was the most exclusive and luxurious suite in the entire establishment, reserved only for the most elite guests—if it was ever booked at all. And now, here it was, a booking right in front of him, and it was booked by a young girl who looked like a university student.He finally managed to find his voice, though it was tinged with disbelief. “The Heavenly Box” He murmured, as if testing the words in his mouth. He looked up at Summer, then at Robert and the others. They were all frozen in their place, stunned by what they had just heard.Robert, who had been so full of arrogance just moments ago, now looked completely dumbfounded. His eyes darted from the man to Summer, and then back to the man

    Robert’s mind was spinning immediately; he couldn't believe he will have to pay such an amount of money to the bastards. At that moment, disbelief was etched on his face as he tried to process what had just happened. How could Summer and his group of friends, who he had always looked down on, can afford something as extravagant as the Heavenly Box? It didn’t make sense. Anger and confusion warred within him as he tried to understand the situation, but the more he thinks about it, the more confused he becomes. Immediately he gazes at Jason, who demands an explanation for all of this. His voice was shaky, his usual arrogance now laced with desperation, knowing he made a bet, and he would be so humiliated to back out of it now.“This has to be some kind of joke!” Robert exclaimed, his eyes darting between Jason and the hotel staff. “There’s no way Summer could afford this! I want answers—now! I'm no fool; I want an answer immediately.”But before Robert could continue his words, a grou

    Upon hearing the man's words, the atmosphere in the Heavenly Box was thick with shock and disbelief; they couldn't believe what they just heard. The girls couldn’t wrap their minds around the idea that one of the boys they had been casually hanging out with was capable of arranging such an extravagant experience.Their eyes darted from one boy to another again, each of them trying to guess who it might be. However, the more they looked, the more confused they became; none of the boys seemed to have money or come from a rich family; Summer never mentioned such to them.They all look confused.Jason remained calm, his face betraying nothing, though inside he couldn’t help but feel a slight satisfaction at their reactions; he knew something would happen, and that is the reason he doesn't want anyone to know he was the one.It's better this way everyone should keep on guessing, and eventually none of them would have any other choice but to respect everyone here because they don't know wh

    By the time they reached the last painting, the group was fully aware of Jason’s knowledge and confidence. The man turned to him again; he was expecting Jasi to give the answer regardless; it's too easy for him.“And the year for this final piece?”“1776.” Jason responded, his voice calm as he smiled, knowing he just won $40,000The man nodded one last time. “Absolutely correct.”The girls looked at Jason with newfound respect, realizing there was more to him than they had initially thought. The admiration in their eyes was unmistakable.When the last painting was identified, the man smiled broadly. “Congratulations, Jason,”he said, handing him the prize money.“You’ve correctly answered every question. Ten thousand dollars for each, as promised.”Jason smiled as he accepted the money, not flaunting his victory, but simply nodding in appreciation. He knew this would only solidify his status among his friends and the girls. It wasn’t just about the money; it was about showing that

    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.

    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
