CHAPTER 461
At that moment, hearing what the two men just said, the man standing before them felt something shift inside him. It wasn’t anger—not yet—but a quiet burn, deep and steady. It was disappointment laced with frustration, like a match that had been lit too many times and still refused to spark. The look in their eyes, the tone of their voices—it all told him what he already knew.They didn’t believe him, they never truly had.He had stood before these two men many times before. Each time he brought something forward—intel, observation, warning—they received it with the same smirk hidden behind calm faces. They saw him as small. An errand boy. A tool. Someone good enough to run messages, carry burdens, but never trusted enough to be let near the real decisions. And worse, they made sure he knew it.They never raised their voices. They never openly dismissed him. But the way they asked questions, the way they exchanged glances behind his back, the way they pretended to “consider” what he s
CHAPTER 462
The other man nodded slowly from his seat, his tone more serious now. “We report through layers. Voices over phones. Orders passed down through encrypted channels. Even our promotions? Delivered by sealed letters and second-tier hands.”The first man stepped closer again, dropping his voice lower. “And that’s the kind of world we live in here. A world where ghosts hold the real power. You think getting promoted makes you special? Makes you close to something big? You’re wrong. You’re still in the outer circle. We all are.”He leaned in just a little, his eyes burning with the truth he’d carried for too long. “You could spend your whole life serving this organization… giving your blood, your soul, your loyalty—and still, you’ll never even catch a glimpse of the ones who pull the real strings.”He stepped back, shaking his head slightly as if even speaking those words stirred up a quiet frustration within him.“So you better think twice,” he added, voice flat. “Before dreaming too big.
CHAPTER 463
Upon hearing what someone just said, the tension in the room began to shift. The guests, who just moments ago had been brimming with confusion and subtle annoyance, slowly calmed down. Their lips closed, arms folded more gently, and eyes began to flicker not with anger but with curiosity and concern. From the way Camilla stood there, her hands loosely folded in front of her, her tone carefully chosen, and the faint tightness around her eyes, they could all tell one thing for sure she wasn’t pleased either.And that truth, more than anything, softened the mood.Camilla gave a slow nod, acknowledging their silence, before she took a small breath and continued in a quiet, almost apologetic voice. “I was actually getting ready,” she began, glancing from one friend to another, “Everything was being prepared—my outfit, the gift packs, even the little safari hats we talked about. I was even about to call you all… when I got the message.”She paused, her brows knitting slightly, allowing the
CHAPTER 464
At that moment, the room fell into a brief silence the second Joe’s question sliced through the air. It was direct, simple, and logical — yet it hit Camilla like a dart in the chest. Her fingers twitched slightly, and for a fraction of a second, she couldn’t move, couldn’t blink. Her breath caught in her throat.She hadn’t thought that far.Camilla had crafted her story with just enough flair and urgency to sound convincing. She had built it up with the right amount of frustration and disappointment, playing the victim of circumstance — as though she too had been blindsided by the sudden cancellation from Pasu Mikazu. But in truth, there was no message, no emergency board meeting, and certainly no interior design overhaul. It was all a lie. A desperate lie she had spun out of panic because the real reason behind the cancellation was something she couldn’t share or something that didn’t even exist.And now innocently curious, had unknowingly touched the one spot she had failed to cove
CHAPTER 465
But just as she reached the hallway leading to her bedroom, a voice suddenly pierced the air behind her.“Wait, Camilla!” one of the ladies called out, half-laughing, half-serious. “Before you go... don’t you think it would be better if you introduced us to your husband-to-be?”The scene fell into a curious hush.The other women looked at each other, nodding slowly, their eyes twinkling with playful curiosity. The speaker added quickly, “I mean, it’s not by force o—but we’re your close friends, Camilla. Very close. And the wedding is coming up so soon, and yet... none of us have seen this mysterious man of yours.”Her tone was gentle but filled with a hint of suspicion. It wasn’t said with malice, but there was weight in her words. Questions that had been simmering quietly in their minds were now finally being voiced.She chuckled softly and went on, “It’s just somehow, you know? We don’t even know the man that’s about to marry our dear friend. This man must be really lucky to have yo
CHAPTER 466
At that moment, hearing what her friend just said, Camilla forced out a small laugh, one that barely concealed the uneasy flutter in her chest. She scratched the back of her neck slightly and smiled awkwardly, her voice a little shaky but still laced with grace as she responded.“Sure, sure… no problem about that,” she said, trying to keep her tone light and unbothered, even though deep inside, she felt a tinge of humiliation pressing against her pride. Her heart thumped with nerves, but she couldn't let it show. Not now.She gave a faint chuckle and added, “That might even be the best time for all of you to meet him, honestly. Just imagine it… meeting for the first time at Paso Mikazu. It would’ve been such a memory, right? With all the atmosphere, the animals, the excitement—like something from a movie.”She looked down for a moment, pretending to straighten a wrinkle on her dress just to avoid their eyes.“But well,” she continued, clearing her throat gently, “there’s really nothin
CHAPTER 467
At that moment, hearing what Jason just said, Soma was still stunned.Her eyes slowly widened, and her mouth parted slightly, not in shock but in disbelief. She tilted her head a little, searching his face like she was trying to read between the lines of his expression, hoping she wasn’t hearing what she wanted to hear, but what was actually true.“So… my father actually agreed?” she asked slowly, her voice barely above a whisper. “He agreed for me to actually stay here again?”There was hesitation in her tone, a fragile disbelief that clung to her words. She blinked quickly, her arms wrapping around herself like she needed to hold her own emotions together. “Like… are you sure you’re not lying to me?”Jason didn’t get defensive. Instead, he let out a small chuckle and looked straight at her with that same calm, assuring gaze he had mastered when things got a little tense.He nodded confidently. “Why would I lie to you?” he asked, his voice steady. “If you honestly think I’m lying, yo
CHAPTER 468
At that moment, the sales representative adjusted her sleek blazer and reached for her iPad resting elegantly on the countertop. With a few swift taps, she pulled up a sleek pricing chart, the screen glowing softly in her hand. “Alright,” she began professionally, her tone even and informative. “The price for the Gold Tier is $50,000. However,” she paused and looked up at them with a faint smile, “the price for the Diamond Tier is $150,000.”Camilla blinked, her eyes widening slightly. She turned to her friend Cecilia with a small nervous chuckle and murmured, “So if we’re going for Gold, that’s $50,000 per person… which means $200,000 for the four of us.” Her brow creased just a little, as if the reality of it was still sinking in. “And if we’re even considering Diamond… well, that’s three times that. That’s $600,000. Do you think it actually deserves that price tag?”Cecilia didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she exchanged glances with the two other ladies beside her. The three wo
CHAPTER 469
Upon hearing what Soma just said, Jason couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle—then a slow, amused smile stretched across his face. It wasn’t a mocking one, nor a smile meant to provoke, but rather the kind of smile that came from someone who had seen enough of the world to stop taking every social reaction too seriously.He turned slightly toward her, looking at her with that calm expression he always wore when others panicked. His voice was low, steady, and gently firm.“Soma,” he began, eyes still holding that warm glint, “you need to stop trying so hard to satisfy everybody.”His tone wasn’t scolding—it was understanding, maybe even sympathetic. But behind those soft-spoken words was a truth that Jason had long ago embraced, a truth he now wanted Soma to see.“You can’t do it,” he continued, his smile never wavering. “You’re not going to satisfy everyone. No matter how much you try to explain, apologize, or shrink yourself to avoid offending people—it’ll never be enough.”Soma b
CHAPTER 470
At that moment, the sales representative’s grin widened as she gestured toward the sleek payment terminal on the marble counter. “Right this way, please,” she said in her most professional tone, her voice silky yet laced with excitement—because she already knew she was about to make an enormous commission.Camilla and Jason’s groups moved toward the counter, the faint echo of heels and polished shoes tapping against the glossy floor. The atmosphere felt thick tension quietly humming between them. Camilla’s chest was tight with anger; her hands balled slightly at her sides as she tried to maintain composure. Every step she took felt heavier, each glance toward Jason only feeding the fire in her chest. She wanted to confront him, to shout, to ask him why.....why he was here, and why with her.But she couldn’t. Not here. Not now. Her friends were around, and one wrong reaction could expose everything she had been hiding. She swallowed hard, forcing a smile that never reached her eyes.Ja
