Cassius shamelessly lied to Seraphina and Charlie.

“Oh, is that so?” Seraphina asked.

“Yes,” Cassius replied with an easy smile.

Seraphina’s expression brightened, her eyes gleaming with hope. She was elated—convinced that Cassius had pulled it off. To her, he was the perfect future son-in-law: wealthy, well-connected, and considerate enough to use his influence to help her struggling family.

What more could a mother ask for? He was the one for Vanessa and she didn't care what her daughter or anyone else thought, but she would make sure that Cassius would be the one who got to be the son in-law instead of a bum like Jason.

Little did she, or anyone else, know he was lying through his perfect white teeth.

“Cassius, you're such a lifesaver.”

He laughed lightly, his tone just modest enough to seem sincere. “Well… I did say I could get it done.”

He was lying, calmly, confidently, without hesitation. But what choice did he have? Telling the truth now would just ruin everything. Worse, it w

    Jason’s interest was truly piqued with that piece of information from Duval.But that didn’t mean he was believing anything coming out of his mouth. People, especially the likes of Duval, had no problem lying to weaken their enemies. But, Jason was smarter than that. Still he still liked to listen to it, just in case it was true. Seeing that he had completely got Jason's attention, Duval smirked. “Seems like I've piqued your interest, Lucan,” he remarked. Then he took a whiff of his cigarette, inhaling the smoke deeply before blowing it out, and spoke, “I think the child they found was you, Lucan. And I think that your ‘master’ found you that night.”Jason didn't react to that immediately, his face remained a cold, impassive mask. But his mind was racing, sifting through the layers of Duval’s words. What Duval had just said wasn’t something Jason could simply ignore. He had just implied that Jason was a member of the disappeared Caelthorn family, possibly the only one.It has to be

    Not long after leaving the event, the two vehicles arrived at their destination. Jason followed Cole Vargas into a sprawling penthouse office. As expected, it was a place of opulence. The city's lights shined below, a silent audience to the power that resided here. Jason’s eyes immediately went to the man standing by the massive window.The first thing he felt was surprise, because the last time he had seen Duval Williams, he was a fat man, drowning in expensive suits that couldn't hide his bulk. But the man who turned from the window was slimmed down and sharp, his dark suit tailored to perfection, his movements precise and controlled. He was a new man, but the cold glint in his eyes was exactly the same.Jason was able to recognize him quickly, because he was well known in the underground world. And while Jason was not from there, he was usually tasked by the eclipse syndicate to work with mob bosses. "Mr. Williams, I've brought him," Cole Vargas announced to his boss, his voic

    The room had already fallen into an eerie silence the moment they saw Cole Vargas walk in.Everyone knew who he was. His name alone brought fear to the people, and commanded the utmost respect. Lady Smith's heart skipped a beat. She cleared her throat carefully. "Mr. Cole, what brings you here?" Her voice was steady, but there was an underlying worry that she tried to hide. Fear for the worst. “Excuse me for coming uninvited,” Cole said, his voice low and deliberate, each word measured, “but I have a matter that requires my attention here.”He scanned the room slowly, letting his presence settle over everyone. There was no malice in his tone only quiet authority.Why would he be here? As far as she knew the Smith family was not on that level for someone like Cole Vargas to bother coming to their events, not even with the backing of sterling enterprises. Cole Vargas wasn't known for socializing with anyone, not even the elites, because he was above them. He would only pay visits lik

    "Yes I did." Those two words hit like thunder. The entire room gasped. It was the kind of sound that makes your skin crawl—hundreds of people suddenly understanding they'd made a terrible mistake. The Smith family looked like they'd seen a ghost. Lady Smith swayed on her feet. Just moments ago, she'd been trying to destroy Jason in front of everyone. She'd wanted to prove he was nothing—a fake, a nobody. Instead, with just two words, he'd blown her world apart. Seraphina's head spun. She actually stumbled backward, catching herself on a chair. All those times she'd sneered at him, called him pathetic, treated him like dirt under her shoe. The man she'd been so cruel to? He was the one keeping her family afloat. Charlie's punching hand wouldn't stop shaking. How many times had he called Jason a loser? A waste of space? A deadbeat who didn't deserve to breathe the same air? And now he was staring at the man who'd been secretly saving his family. The silence stretched like a rubbe

    Lady Smith's rage was a force of nature, and her third slap landed with a loud crack that echoed in the silent room.Cassius staggered backward, his head ringing. The proud, arrogant posture he'd entered with was gone, replaced by a pathetic stoop. Fury blazed in his chest—the audacity of these people to lay hands on him—but he was outnumbered, trapped.The other guests were no longer just watching; they were openly whispering, some even pulling out their phones to record the spectacle. Cassius, once the star of the night, was now the main attraction of a public shaming. A fraud in a cage, surrounded by mocking faces.Jason watched it all unfold with cold satisfaction. Part of him would have preferred to handle Cassius personally, but watching the man get what he deserved for stealing credit was almost as rewarding.Cassius's mind went blank. His lips moved, but no sound came out. The man who moments ago had been on top of the world was now a pathetic figure, surrounded by the wreckag

    “What!!?” Cassius exclaimed.The room erupted in murmurs as guests pulled out their devices. Hearing that Cassius was being exposed? They had to see it happen. Those without access craned over to see what others were watching on their phones. Even Charlie pulled out his phone and opened the news appp. Shaking as he began to realize what was happening, Cassius glanced down at his phone. Vanessa did the same.On every screen, the news anchor appeared. “Good evening. A shocking development today: a shocking and unexpected deal between the Smith family, previously on the brink of bankruptcy, and Sterling Enterprises is set to shake up the market.”Cassius’s chest puffed up. “See? The deal is real. That only proves it. I helped the Smith family. Jason’s just trying to make this about him.” He sneered, his tone dripping with arrogance.Jason didn’t flinch. Calmly, he said, “Shut up. Just watch. Everything is about to unfold.”Eyes in the room were glued to their screens, the tension so th
