At that moment, hearing what the head of the World Vet Association just said, the head judge took a step back, completely stunned.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly as if to speak, but no words came out. He was confused, embarrassed, and furious—all at once. The entire hall had fallen into a suffocating silence. Everyone could hear his shallow breathing, and see the tension in his body.

“W–Why would you say something like that?” the judge finally stammered, his voice shaking. “Why would you accuse me in public like this? I have served this board with loyalty for over twenty years. How could you say I did this for money? That I would risk my name, my family, my entire career—because of money? This is slander. This is a direct insult to my integrity!”

He looked around the room, searching for someone to support him—perhaps one of his fellow judges, or a student. But no one said a word. The other judges avoided his gaze. The students stared like frozen statues.

    At that moment, Jason's voice dropped a bit, but it wasn’t out of gentleness—it was the calm that came with built-up frustration. He let out a dry sigh over the call and said, "Camilla, you’re just too much. Honestly. You’re so full of yourself sometimes, and I wasn’t expecting this kind of childish behavior from you.”Camilla’s heart skipped, Jason didn’t stop."You think you can use emotional blackmail on me? You think I’m the kind of guy that’ll fall for cheap tricks like that? Come on, Camilla. You’re better than this… or at least I thought you were.”His words were sharp and heavy. And then, firmly, slowly, so she wouldn’t miss a thing, he continued, “What I said earlier, I’m going to say it again. And I want you to let it sink into that stubborn head of yours. Soma and I… we are just friends. Nothing more. Nothing hidden. Nothing you need to be paranoid about.”Camilla clenched her teeth, but Jason kept going.“And the fact that we’re friends—real friends—means I don’t need your

    At that moment, Camilla sat frozen with the phone still pressed to her ear, even though the call had already ended. Her chest rose and fell slowly, and her lips quivered—not from fear, but from the weight of realization that came crashing down all at once.She hadn’t expected Jason to respond like that. Not even close.She thought she could simply raise her voice, make some accusations, and then Jason—like always—would soften, apologize, and run to her side. She thought he would drop everything, explain himself sweetly, or even beg her not to be mad.But he didn’t.Instead, his calm but cutting words sliced through every wall she’d built between reason and ego. He didn’t yell. He didn’t lose his temper. He just… said the truth. And it hurt more than any shouting ever could.That was when it finally hit her—Jason was not a man she could control.Camilla blinked, and her eyes slowly wandered around her room. She remembered the first day Jason had mentioned Pasumika Zoo. He didn’t brag,

    She stopped pacing and sat at the edge of her bed, still fuming, still burning inside. She knew she had to calm down before she said or did something she would regret.But one thing was now clear—Jason had crossed a line. And Camilla wasn’t the type to sit and cry.At that moment, without wasting any more time, Camilla grabbed her phone with a grip so tight her knuckles turned pale. Her jaw clenched, her brows drawn low in anger. She stared at her reflection for a second, her chest rising and falling rapidly. “I can’t just sit here like a fool,” she muttered bitterly. “I can’t keep whining and walking in circles like I don’t have a voice.”She swiped through her phone angrily. Jason’s name glared back at her from the screen.“Imagine. Just imagine,” she said to herself with a cold, sharp tone. “He took her to Pasumika Zoo. The same Pasumika Zoo that took me almost three months of planning to enter. He did all that for her—and now he can’t even pick my call?”Her thumb hovered over the

    At that moment, Camilla’s hands curled into fists beside her. The more she stared at her phone screen and watched Soma being celebrated like some kind of heroine, the more her blood boiled. Her lips tightened, and her nails dug into the palm of her hand, but the pain was nothing compared to the fire burning inside her chest.She remembered clearly—just a few nights ago, she had spoken to Jason on the phone. His voice had been calm, reassuring, even soft. He told her not to worry, that what he was doing was merely a small gesture, a kind-hearted move to help someone who didn’t have many connections. He said it was just “a little YouTube content,” nothing serious, nothing worth reading too much into. She had believed him. Foolishly. Stupidly. She had trusted not only his words but Soma’s too.Soma, who sat right there on the livestream with her sister, smiling like the entire spotlight didn’t belong to her. Camilla’s throat clenched. She couldn’t believe the nerve, the audacity.“Help?”

    At that moment, hearing what all her friends were accusing her of, Camilla’s throat felt dry. A tight knot formed in her chest. Her fingers wrapped nervously around her phone as her eyes stayed glued to the screen. Deep down, she knew the truth—this wasn’t her. She hadn’t done anything with Pasu Mikazu apart from getting permission to record herself that day. Yes, she was excited, and yes, she had posted it all over her socials. But she hadn’t been told—not even once—that the management themselves were recording her.She didn’t sign anything, there were no camera crews, there were no spotlights, there was no director.Just her and her phone, filming a few slow-motion walks, a couple of selfies, and a brief live session to her small followers.But now, this… this was entirely different. The lights, the equipment, the voiceover… the grand reveal—everything was screaming official production.Still, how could she explain this to her friends?How could she say, “It’s not me,” without sound

    At that moment, when Camilla’s friend blurted out those shocking words, the table fell into silence. All their chatter and teasing came to an immediate stop. Each girl turned toward her with confusion stretched across their faces.“What are you talking about?” one of them asked, blinking fast. “Why would you just scream like that out of nowhere?”Another leaned forward. “Yeah, you literally scared us! What’s going on?”The girl didn’t speak at first. Instead, she slowly lifted her phone like it was some sacred artifact, her mouth slightly open in awe. She was smiling, almost giggling, as she pointed at the screen.“Guess what,” she said, her voice filled with excitement.“Guess what?” two girls said in unison, exchanging puzzled glances.“What do you mean, guess what?” another asked, growing impatient. “What are we guessing here? What could possibly be on that phone that’s making you act like this?”The girl didn’t answer directly. Instead, she just smiled wider and repeated it again,
