LOGIN"Don Terso, let's have a deal." Jason smiled at the old man.A corner of Terso's lips lifted as he watched the young man intently."When Crizelle gets the contract with J&T Corporation, you will accept me as her husband, bastard or not.""Who are you to give me such an agreement?" Terso growled angrily at the young man."If you don't agree, I will charge you the bid you have for me before." Jason smiled at the old man, who seemed so annoyed while looking at him."Whatever nonsense you came up with, I don't have time to listen to that," Terso said coldly and stood up to leave the young man. "You just returned to your family to claim that you have proven something in life!""I don't need to explain because I'm serious, Don Terso."Terso was stunned for a moment when he proved that he was indeed serious. "Are you kidding me? What's the difference between then and now?" he asked Jason irritably.Jason grinned. The old man looked like he was getting sick of him. He still remembered that he
"So, what's next?" Jesabell asked teasingly to her friend when she saw that Crizelle was with him."We're getting married." It was Crizelle who answered Jesabell's question. She recognizes the woman, and she has been jealous of her ever since."Make it quick because I don't want to attend your wedding with a big belly," Jesabell spoke bluntly.Crizelle's eyes widened a little because of what she heard. "Are you pregnant?" she exclaimed exasperatedly."What's surprising?" Jesabell asked the woman irritably."But how?" Crizelle asked in confusion while looking at the woman's flat belly."How did we make the kid? Let Jason teach you," Jesabell responded sarcastically.Crizelle suddenly fell silent and embarrassed by the woman's answer.Jason doesn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed with his friend. Crizelle didn't know that Jesabell was already married, so the latter asked that kind of question."Is there a problem?" asked Tyron, who had just approached and was carrying a glass of wat
"I'll prove to you that I can get the position I deserve, not because I'm Grandpa's favorite granddaughter!" Crizelle declared firmly and looked straight at Laura. "I don't need strong men just to get what I want."Jason was impressed by Crizelle's stance.Felix clenched his jaws; he was so insulted that Crizelle did not choose him. There is nothing wrong if Laura becomes his wife. He can get along with her more than Crizelle. But Crizelle is more vulnerable to her family than her cousin; that's why he wants to marry her."Whatever you're planning in getting what you want this time, make sure it's fair." Laura boldly met her cousin's challenging gaze.Everyone was silent and waited for Crizelle to speak. "I heard that the company has a target. We need to get the contract with a new but well-known company. So whoever gets the contract between us will be the CEO of the company," Crizelle challenged her cousin."That's a good idea, Miss Crizelle." A board member happily agreed.Laura gri
"Looks like you can't escape anymore this time?" Jesabell whispered teasingly to her friend.Jason just scratched the back of his neck even though it wasn't itchy. He winked at Crizelle so she wouldn't get jealous. Luckily, it was effective, but she sneered at him before glaring."Son, do you already know each other?" Celso asked when he saw the woman and Jason whispering at each other.Jesabell smiled at the gentleman and shook his hand. "So you're my friend's father, sir? I'm glad to finally meet you. Jason and I were both orphans, and my husband took care of me." Jesabell clings to her husband's arm with excitement.Celso smiled. "I'm happy, and my son has a friend like you."Jason put his arms around his father and whispered. "Dad, don't tell anyone about this, and maybe my friends will suddenly increase when they learn that a famous businessman is my close friend," he said jokingly.Celso nodded with a smile and patted his son on the shoulder. "We will leave you for now, and I wi
"What? You can't tell me you won't catch me this time, because you promised me you'll give me a chance when our paths cross again." Crizelle widened her eyes at the young man to startle him."Tsk, I told you, men should be the ones courting and not women."Suddenly, Crizelle's face softened. She clung to Jason's arm tightly. "Finding you is as hard as finding a needle in a crowd. Grandpa also wants me to marry that arrogant jerk!"A little smile formed on Jason's lips, and he didn't push the girl any further. She was spoiled and stubborn. Her family considers her a headache. And their headache will double upon his arrival."Promise, I didn't know that was your brother. And even if you didn't show up today, I wouldn't agree to marry him!" Crizelle hugged the young man's waist and caressed him."Alright, I don't have a good relationship with my family right now, so your family might still dislike me."Crizelle looked up tearfully. She knew that her grandfather had bribed Jason to keep h
"Sir, please leave because other guests are coming. Poor people are also not allowed here, and that is the order of the family celebrating his birthday today," the guard informed, shooing away the man.Jason cursed in his mind. He didn't think this family was so bad among the poor. He doesn't have time to argue over trivial matters. He was about to take out his VIP card when a woman approached."I invited him, so you let him in."Everyone turned their heads to the beautiful woman."Hi, Crizelle, it's been a long time since we last saw each other!" Felix greeted the girl, but she only glared at him. He only met her last year through their relative's business."I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't know he was your guest." The guard apologized to the woman.Jason met the girl's gaze formally. She still hasn't changed; she is calm and doesn't care what others say when she wants something."Crizelle, are you sure you know that man?" Lex asked the girl as he pointed to Jason."What made you all wonde
