LUCAN VALE: THE GHOST ASSASSIN Chapter 118
“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

“There was no clause like that in the contract. You’re lying.” Vanessa did not hold back from speaking her mind. A sudden silence fell over the room, as everyone processed her words. But it didn’t last long. The Smith family however, did not even want to entertain the idea that Cassius was lying. They bristled at her accusation. To them, Vanessa’s words were an insult to him, a challenge to everything they believed about him. “Vanessa, how dare you accuse Mr. Devereux of lying?” Lady Smith exclaimed at her granddaughter, her face a storm of indignation. “This is our family’s benefactor, you're insulting!” Morgana stepped forward, voice dripping with contempt. “Yes, Vanessa. Are you implying that Cassius has deceived anyone? How… stupid of you, to make such an accusation against someone who saved your own family from all the financial troubles.” When Cassius saw that they were defending him, he straightened up, he recovered some composure. Even now, he still chose to maintain the

Neither Charlie nor Cassius said anything right away. Charlie, like everyone else in the room, was waiting for Cassius to deliver the knockout response that would finally shut Jason up. After all, Cassius was supposed to know every detail of the deal. Surely he had a perfect answer.But it never came. Because Cassius couldn’t find one.Regret began to gnaw at him. He was already wishing he’d never listened to Charlie’s advice about confronting Vanessa’s fiancé.This wasn’t the script Charlie had promised. The plan was simple: walk up, accuse Jason of stealing credit, and watch him flounder under the pressure. Instead, Jason had flipped the script, pressing him hard, and Cassius was the one on the defensive—scrambling for words that wouldn’t come.“What the fuck do you think you'll prove?” Cassius finally spat, his composure fraying.“Just answer the question,” Jason said evenly, his tone calm but unyielding.At that moment, Lady Smith and Vanessa, each preoccupied with their own conce

As Charlie and Cassius approached, Jason could sense that someone was walking towards him, before he even saw them. He spent years being an assassin. Before that he was a soldier, so that had taught him a lot of things. Among those things that he learned was how to read a room for danger, like he was doing right now. The shift in energy was unmistakable.And although there was no danger here, he could still feel the tensionHe turned, his expression nonchalant, as the two men closed the distance. He saw that it was Charlie and he was not at all surprised. Sooner or later Charlie would start bothering him in hopes of humiliating and driving him away from here. "Jason!" Charlie's voice sounded just loud enough for nearby guests to hear. He approached, hand in pocket, Cassius walking besides him. "There you are. I'd like you to meet someone very important." He said gesturing towards Cassius. Cassius brough himself to the front.As Jason looked at him, Cassius felt himself tremble unde

"Consider it done, Sir." Jamal answered. "Anything else?""Yes," Jason said, his tone sharpening. He wasn't done. He actually had another plan to expose Jamal white even more. "I need you to dig up everything you can on this Cassius Devereux character. Background, bis family connections. His business dealings, everything. I want to know exactly who I'm dealing with.""Cassius Devereux. I think I've heard that last name before." Jamal repeated, "I'll call up some of my people and they will do a full background check immediately. Should they prioritize any particular aspect?"Jason thought of it briefly. He initially wanted to instruct Jamal to focus more on Cassius’s business dealings and see if they could find any dirt about him. But on second thought, why not focus on everything?"Everything," Jason replied, after making up his mind, "Especially on his recent activities and any claims he's made about business deals. I have a feeling this isn't the first time he's taken credit where

"To the future," Charlie echoed, completely oblivious to the fact that he'd just handed Cassius everything he'd ever wanted on a silver platter.It never even crossed his mind that Cassius was lying to him and the whole family. He didn't even want to entertain the thought of Jason being the one who had helped the Smith family instead of Cassius.Around them, the party continued, but Cassius barely noticed. His mind was already racing ahead to a future where he wouldn't just be taking credit for someone else's success—he'd be living it. He had always wanted Vanessa, and now it seemed like he was finally going to get her.‘Going to Sterling Enterprises was the best decision I’ve ever made in the past months’, Cassius thought smugly, replaying the day in his head. ‘Sure, I went there like a beggar hoping to pitch the Devereux empire to the chairman, only to be denied at the door… but who cares now? It still worked out. If I marry Vanessa, I won’t just be marrying the woman I’ve always wa
