The room fell into a heavy silence as the Mayor's presence sent shockwaves through everyone standing in the interrogation room.

He had already soaked his pants in fear, and now, with the Mayor standing before him, it was as if the ground beneath him had vanished.Jason remained calm; he didn't move a muscle, his eyes steady and unfazed by the sudden appearance of the Mayor. Everyone else, however, was visibly shaken. Jade’s family, who had been so confident moments before, now looked as if they had seen a ghost; they couldn't believe the mayor would come here in person.At that moment the Mayor’s gaze swept across the room, cold and authoritative. He locked eyes with the detective, who was trembling so badly that he could barely hold himself up. Just then, the detective’s phone rang, startling him. With shaky hands, he fumbled to a

You can’t do this to us! it's fair”But instead of an answer, all he got was the cold click of handcuffs snapping around his wrists. The federal police moved in swiftly, cuffing Jade’s mother, his father and jade as well.

But here he was, free and looked unharmed. At that moment relief washed over her, but she could tell by the look on Jason’s face that something was bothering him and she wondered what it was.At that moment Summer looked down at herself, suddenly feeling self-conscious. She was wearing tattered clothes, and her shoes were worn out. She hadn’t had time to change before rushing to the police station to see Jason, and now she felt embarrassed seeing him alright and she is dressed this way. But it was more than just her appearance—her whole demeanor was tired and defeated.Jason noticed the state summer was in and he couldn't believe she had gone through all of this just because

As they stepped out of the store, the cool evening air brushed against their faces, a welcome relief from the tension that had filled the shop but summer mind was nuts there. Summer glanced at Jason, her curiosity piqued by the events that had just unfolded inside the store. She couldn't quite understand how Jason had managed to turn the situation around so completely and he didn't say anything and the manager was shaking without Jason saying anything.with curiosity written all over her face.“Jason”she began, her voice light with even more curiosity.“What did you say to the manager that made her change her mind so quickly? One moment she was furious, and the next, she was practically begging us to take whatever we wanted, what did you do.”Jason at the moment looked at her, with a small smile playing on his lips. He could see the curiosity in her eyes. He knew she would ask him about it, but he decided to keep things simple. “I told her that I had everything on record about how

Jason wiped his hands on his shorts, ignoring the murmurs from the sidelines. The ball bounced back into his hands, and without hesitation, he moved into position. His focus was sharp, his eyes locked on the hoop. At that moment The Court seemed to fade into the background, the noise replaced by the rhythmic sound of the ball hitting the hardwood floor.“Another one?” someone whispered as he launched the ball.“Swish.”The crowd stirred. “That’s nine in a row,” a player muttered, disbelief lacing his tone.again Jason caught the next ball, his movements fluid and controlled. Another shot, another clean three-pointer. His confidence grew with every basket, and so did the tension in the room.“Thirty points already,” a coach said, his voice just loud enough for the others to hear. “This kid’s on fire.”But Jason wasn’t done.

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
CHAPTER 175
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
CHAPTER 174
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—
CHAPTER 173
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
