Jason's words of accusations hung in the air like a heavy cloud, making the roon feel smaller and more suffocating.

Camilla’s uncle shifted uncomfortably; he had been standing there all along without saying anything, but the recent development had prompted him to say something now. He glanced at Roy with a suspicious look.

and before he could say anything Camila Uttered

“Roy”

She began, her voice filled with anger.

“You said this was your first time here. How could you have known about the dog’s condition so quickly? and you knew the perfect drugs to give him without you even asking questions if the dog had developed this issue before now.”

Roy’s hands started trembling, and as he clenched them into his fists to stop the shaking, he couldn't believe the bastard Jason saw through his plans, and he just exposed him, and now everyone's eyes are on him.

At that moment he could feel sweat trickling down his neck, his heart pounding fast like a drum in his chest. He didn't know what to

    Upon hearing Jason's words Roy's heart started pounding in his chest even more, each beat echoing louder in his ears. His hands were clammy, and he could feel the cold sweat running down his back. If the dog dies, a real vet will come to check it, and then everything will fall apart as to the real cause of the death since he had not fully said he poisoned the dog yet he only admitted he only wanted to help. He was terrified. His mind raced as he tried to think of a way out. He glanced around the room again, hoping for some kind of escape, but there was none.He then turned and walked closer to Camilla’s uncle, his voice started shaking. “We need to do something now”he said, his eyes wide with fear. “You have to help me, or we’re both in trouble, if the dog dies”Camilla's uncle wasn’t doing much better either; he was just being tough towards Roy because he doesn't want anyone to think he's involved in all this. immediately his face went pale, and his hands trembled as he looked at

    Camilla's uncle stood in the room trembling. He had no choice but to confess, because if his father find out after the dog die he's going to be in bigger trouble. The truth is out already, and there was no way to hide it anymore. Camilla's grandfather was still kneeling beside the dog, his face red with anger and frustration seeing his beloved friend in pain and he might die if the vet doesn't come quickly. Camilla's uncle said with a low voice.“ Father I'm sorry for what I'm about to say”His father gazed at him, he was curious, wanting to know what he's going to say.“ It was a poison, I gave him a little bit of it so Roy would steal the show and impress you and everyone, i never thought it would get to this stage”He immediately went on his knees.“ Father I'm sorry, I'm so sorry ”At that moment his father gazed at him with dead eyes, his eyes were filled with rage, he couldn't believe what he just heard.“How could you do this!!” he shouted at Camilla's uncle. “How could you

    Jason looked at Camilla seriously. “I have one condition” he said, his voice firm. Camilla waited, her heart started beating fast. What could he possibly want? She doesn't want to lose out on Jason because she could see her grandfather already liked him and it would be wrong of her to look for someone else at that moment.She gazed at Jason, a curious face, her ears wide open, she prayed he shouldn't demand for something ridiculous.“I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend too”Jason said, his eyes not leaving hers. “I don’t have any girlfriend in the university, and if you can pretend to be mine, then I’ll pretend to be yours in front of your grandfather. No feelings involved, no touching involved. Just for names only. Let’s just pretend.”Camilla was stunned for a moment. She blinked a few times, trying to process what Jason had just said. He was willing to help her, but on one condition—one that she hadn’t expected she thought would be more money or something ridiculous. “Yo

    Jason stared at his phone in shock. The live video of Summer being tortured made his blood boil. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. How could Jade do this not just to anyone but summer. How could she be so cruel? Jason’s hands trembled as he watched, his anger rising inside him like a storm.“Stop the video, Jade!” Jason demanded, his voice shaking with fury. “This isn’t right! You need to stop now!”But Jade didn’t agree. She just laughed on the other end of the call, her voice cold and uncaring. “Why should I stop?” she sneered. “Summer deserves this, and you can’t do anything about it, I want you to watch and feel the pain you inflated on me”Jason couldn’t take it anymore. His heart pounded, and he felt a wave of panic and anger wash over him. Without thinking, he cut the call. He had to do something, and he had to do it fast. There was no time to waste.Jason ran out of his hotel room. He ran to Jade’s house. The roads seemed endless, and his mind raced with thoughts

At that moment the officers' hands gripped his arms tightly. Jason didn't want to struggle but he decided to do so by struggling with the office, his face contorted with anger and frustration seeing the police officer didn't even listen to him and none of them even cared to listen. “You can’t do this! and waste my time, but let me warn you if anything happens to my friend. You're all going to pay for this!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the cold scene.his lips tightened even more as none of the police officers listened to him again.The car drove off slowly as they passed Jade and her family, who stood watching with smug expressions all focused on Jason.Jason at that moment locked deadly gaze with Jade.

    The detective immediately leaned back staring at the direction of the door, his eyes widened as it were focused on Robert’s father, the City council with a smirk. Jason sat quietly in his chair, his face stoic, his eyes focused on the floor. He didn’t react to the detective's earlier attitude, not even when Robert’s father walked in, his face flushed with the urgency of summer safety that all he could think of now.“Release Jason immediately,” Robert’s father demanded, his voice firm. “The Mayor has sent me. He wants Jason out immediately.”At that moment the detective raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening into a full grin. He crossed his arms, leaning forward slightly. “The Mayor?” he chuckled, his disbelief was evident in his tone. “You expect me to believe the Mayor is interested in some local kid? How would he even know about this? You’re playing games with me, Robert, you and I know the Mayor can't be interested in this kid.”Robert’s father at that moment bristled, his

    He stared at the black grains spilling out onto his desk, his anger momentarily replaced with confusion. His mind started racing as he tried to make sense of it, but there was no logical explanation. The room fell silent, the tension thick as the detective’s confusion slowly turned back into anger.“What kind of sick game are you and your friends playing?” the detective growled, his voice low and dangerous. He looked up at Jason, his eyes narrowed into slits. “You think this is funny? Sending me black sand?”He then turned to the officer who had delivered the letters, his eyes wide with fear but he managed to hide them.“You’re sure it was just a boy? Did he say anything else? apart from just this envelope” The detective's voice was shaky, betraying his fear.The officer nodded, his own face pale and filled with worry he doesn't understand what is happening. “Yes, sir. He didn’t say a word. Just handed over the envelope saying it was important and made sure you take a look at it,

His entire body shook with fear and desperation as he knelt again on the floor, begging for his life. Jason watched him quietly, his expression still unreadable. His face was calm, almost eerily so, as he observed the detective's breakdown. That was what he wanted so next time would teach her to do his job properly. After a moment, Jason leaned forward slightly, his voice low but clear.“Call Jade’s family” he said.“Tell them to come to the station. If they can make it here within the next five minutes, I will leave.”immediately the detective's eyes widened with a glimmer of hope even though he knew five minutes is not that much but there is hope. without wasting anymore time he scrambled to his feet, his hands still trembling as he reached for his phone.

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

    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

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
