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
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 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 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 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 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
