Hearing what Roy said, the room was filled with nervous tension as everyone watched Jason and his actions with bated breath. They couldn't believe he's still bold and trying to prove a useless point that doesn't exist. However, Camila’s grandfather couldn’t help but chuckle. Though there was a flicker of anger in his eyes, he was disappointed in Camilla. He thought she would have the right mindset to pick someone who is well-to-do and comes from a great family, but she then decided to introduce a loser to him, someone who doesn't have respect. He didn’t show his disappointment openly, but the tightness in his jaw was a clear sign of how angry he was.His voice was steady but laced with disbelief, and it cut through the silence. “This is what you planned to prove, Jason? This trick? This was all done at the audition house; it was done by a professional that has been doing it for years, even before you were born, and it was proven real! , but you came into the house and uttered nons
Camila's grandfather stood there, staring at the fake painting, his face pale and his hands trembling. He couldn’t believe it. The painting he had cherished and spent so much money on was a fake.At that moment, his disbelief quickly turned into anger, and his jaw clenched as he reached for his phone. “I’m calling the agency in charge of this crap!!”He snapped, his voice filled with anger. “They need to be held accountable for selling fake art work and claiming it was real.”But before he could dial the number, Jason stepped forward, gently placing a hand on the old man's arm. “Please, don’t”Jason said calmly, his eyes soft and calculative.“Let me handle this. I will make sure your money is refunded, and I will bring those responsible to justice. But if you call them now, it might get out of control, and I don’t want Camila or anyone else to think badly of me as the guy that created the mess.”Jason said all of that because he doesn't want Camilla's father to escalate the situat
Everyone gazed at the servant with a curious face, they didn't know what he was going to say.At that moment the servant's face became pale even more as everyone's gaze was focused on him; his voice started trembling as he spoke again.“Sir, there's something wrong with the dog. Camila's grandfather's dog is very sick, and it needs urgent attention.”Camila’s grandfather’s eyes widened in shock hearing the news about his loyal dog, who had been with him for years; he's a member of the family, and everyone loves him.“What do you mean, sick?” He asked, his voice filled with worry. His heart raced, and he felt a sudden tightness in his chest.“We have to go see him right now!”Everyone at that moment was also saddened hearing the news; they couldn't allow him to die.Roy, who had been standing nearby, quickly stepped forward, putting a reassuring hand on Camila's grandfather's shoulder. He knows how important the dog is to him, and he's going to do everything possible to save him. “L
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
