At that moment, Derek leaned closer to Jason, his voice low and trembling, “Jason… what, what did you just do? How did you do that? I didn’t even see anything. They just fell… just like that. What did you do?”

Jason didn’t look at him. His gaze was fixed forward, cold and distant.

“I’m too mad at you right now,” Jason said calmly, but his voice carried the weight of disappointment. “You don’t deserve to know.”

Derek blinked, stunned.

“I believed in you, Derek,” Jason continued, his words like sharp arrows. “I thought maybe, just maybe, you were different from the rest. That you would stand beside me no matter what. But you doubted me. You looked at me like I was just another coward about to get crushed. You belittled me... and you belittled everything I believed about you.”

Derek opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. His face was stuck between shame and confusion. He couldn’t even look Jason in the eyes.

All around them, the arena was still dead silent, the shock from Jas

    At that moment, Abigail could only shake her head, the weight of disappointment pressing heavily on her chest. Her perfectly styled hair barely moved, but her fingers twitched by her sides, curling slightly in silent frustration. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go—not at all. She had walked into this meeting with the confident belief that she held the upper hand. She thought all it would take was a bit of pressure, a few sharp words, and Summer would eventually fold. That she would give them what they wanted. That the girl would break under the tension of so many eyes watching her, judging her.But Summer didn’t.And now, Abigail stood there, silently swallowing the chaos that was erupting within her. Because this wasn’t just about authority or pride. No, it was far deeper than that.She had come here with a purpose—one purpose only. Not for politics. Not for status. She wasn’t here to punish or prove anything. What she truly wanted, the only reason she had sat through this st

    At that moment, Soma folded her arms, her gaze firm and unwavering as she stood her ground before the panel. Her voice came out with a sharp edge, clear and unapologetic. “Let me make this very clear,” she began, her tone calm but cold, “the person I came with whoever he is, whatever he is that has nothing to do with any of you. It is not your business. Not one bit. So why are you all pressing so hard like I’ve committed a crime? Why are you trying to twist this into something it’s not?”The room went quiet again, but this time it wasn’t the shocked kind of silence it was the tense kind, the one that made people shift in their seats and look at one another, unsure whether to interrupt her or let her finish.Soma continued, her voice unwavering, “If you think I’ve done something wrong, then do what you need to do. Run your investigation. Check your footage. Call in your experts. But if you think I’m going to stand here and hand over that person’s identity to satisfy your curiosity, you

    At that moment, Abigail’s voice grew firmer as she adjusted the files in front of her and leaned forward slightly, casting a sharp glance at Soma. There was no warmth in her eyes now only the cold, calculated tone of someone who had made up her mind before the conversation even started.She said clearly, “So, for everything that has happened, and for the consequences we’re now dealing with, Soma you need to apologize. Not just any apology. A sincere one. And it has to be public. That means you’re going to record a video where you will clearly state that you overreacted, and you’ll admit that you should have followed due process instead of taking matters into your own hands. No excuses. No back and forth. Just a clean, public statement of remorse.”The room became uncomfortably still.Soma blinked in disbelief, trying to keep her expression composed, but anyone paying close attention could see the flicker of shock on her face. Still, she didn’t say a word.But Abigail wasn’t finished.

    At that moment, hearing what Mr. Dave just said, Soma’s heart skipped a beat. Her fingers twitched slightly on her lap, and for a second, she blinked in quiet surprise. She had known she was coming for a meeting yes. But she didn’t expect this. She didn’t expect to be the reason the entire association gathered in this room full of respected dignitaries, top veterinary professionals, and people who barely even glanced at her the first time she walked through those heavy glass doors.She slowly turned her head toward Mr. Dave, her eyes searching his face, as if trying to find the catch behind his calm, serious tone. But there was none. He was serious. He meant every word.Mr. Dave, sensing her confusion, continued.“Well,” he began, folding his hands together on the table and leaning forward slightly, “we heard about what happened during the competition. And I must say… you didn’t just pass, Soma. You passed with flying colors. Your results and your performance spoke louder than any rum

    At that moment, she didn't waste any time. She drove carefully, her hands tight on the steering wheel, her mind still swirling with mixed thoughts about Jason, Camilla, and everything happening around her. The city roads felt longer than usual, even though she knew exactly where she was going. She was headed to the Association of Veterinarians Headquarters, a place she had only seen a few times before, but today, she had been personally invited. They had called her earlier that morning for an urgent meeting, and even though her emotions were not fully settled, she had decided to honor the invitation. After all, the association had now become the talk of the town—every top vet clinic, pet hospital, and animal rescue center wanted to be affiliated with it. And she, being a rising star in the veterinary world, was finally being recognized.When she got there, the building itself looked more prestigious than she remembered. It was a tall, glass-structured office with a bold sign that read

    At that moment, Soma’s sister stood her ground, arms crossed tightly and her eyes burning with stubborn fire. She looked directly at Soma with a challenging stare, refusing to back down.“Well, that’s not my concern,” she said, her voice firm and full of defiance. “You’re only saying all this because you’re trying to be nice. Because you’re trying to be kind and proper and careful like you always are.”She scoffed lightly. “But let’s not act like there’s nothing there. There is something. Everyone can feel it, even Jason probably knows it, and you” she pointed at Soma, “you’re the only one pretending not to see it.”She took a sharp breath and tossed her hair over her shoulder. “Since you don’t want to go talk to Jason… since you don’t want to push yourself to say how you feel, then I will. I’m going to do it myself. Nobody is stopping me.”Her voice rose slightly. “Jason is my friend too. And if you’re too scared to be honest, then someone else has to say it for you, and that’s what
