Jason was taken aback. He looked at Marvin.

From the looks of it, Marvin was probably in his late twenties, dressed to impress in a tailored suit that screamed money. Jason could tell, this guy was rich.

Just then, Seraphina Smith’s eyes landed on the pair. Her expression was ugly with disgust the moment she looked at Jason, but when her gaze shifted to Vanessa, a smile bloomed on her face.

“There she is,” Seraphina said warmly. “Vanessa, dear. Marvin is here for you, and you won’t believe what car he drove coming here.”

Marvin let out a smug chuckle. “Hahaha, Madam Smith, come on now. It’s not that expensive. At least, not by my standards.”

He said it with a wave of his hand, like a man brushing lint off a thousand-dollar jacket. He was humble on the surface, but every bit meant to show off. A million-dollar car, downplayed as if it were pocket change.

He hoped to impress the family, especially Vanessa. Marvin had heard about how the smith family was in financial trouble and he was

    “Granny, Jason did not do any of those things. Mom and aunt are lying,” Vanessa defended Jason. She had to, because she knew he was not in the wrong here; her mom was. And she never thought she would see her lie like this.When Lady Smith heard Vanessa's words, she had a thoughtful look on her face. That was because Vanessa would never lie about this, and she knew it. So that meant Seraphina and Cassira were the ones lying; Lady Smith was sure of that. “Oh, is that so?” she questioned.Seraphina flinched at her gaze. “Mom, don’t believe Vanessa, she is not…”“Quiet, Seraphina!” Lady Smith demanded. “I don't want to hear another word from you.”“Grandmother, wait. Don’t be so quick to believe Vanessa,” Charlie said. He then stepped forward with a seemingly placating hand raised, turning to Vanessa. “Vanessa, my dear cousin, how can you stand by this man? After he so brazenly insulted our family, humiliated Aunt Seraphina and Mom in front of everyone? You should easily just… dump him r

    “Vanessa, why did you bring that here?” Charlie snapped the moment Jason and Vanessa walked in.Jason raised an eyebrow, unfazed. “I have a name, Charlie. Use it,” he said, cool as ever. He glanced around the room, then added with mock curiosity, “What time is it? You guys are up pretty late.”He acted like he didn’t notice the daggers in their eyes, like the tension in the room was just bad lighting.And Jason didn’t care. When were they never glaring at him disdainfully anyways? He was already used to it by now.Plus, he already knew exactly why they were mad.Seraphina had clearly beaten him here, spinning her little fairy tale. She'd probably told them how she and Cassira got kicked out of the gala, pinning it all on him like he’d set the place on fire. And he indeed got them kicked out, so maybe that specific part wasn't a lie, but the reasons would be.“You! How dare you show your face here?” Lance Smith roared, his voice thundering through the opulent entrance hall. He took a h

    Jason saw the worry in her eyes and he had to ask about it. “Hey, are you worried about Caspian Montgomery? Don't worry, he'll not do anything, I promise you.” He said carefree. The way he said that, made Vanessa want to trust him. However she was not naive to think that was possible, because at the the end of the day, Jason was still useless when it came to this.She shot him a look and said, “Save your promises for someone else.” She looked ahead and said, “I'll handle this on my own, and please don't offend the Montgomery family anymore.” They entered the car. Vanessa sat on the driver's seat and Jason besides her on the seat. The Benz purred to life and rolled out of the estate.Jason watched the road for a moment, then turned to her. “You said you’ll handle it. Mind telling me how?”“I don’t know yet,” she muttered. “I’m still thinking.”“Alright.” He leaned back, arms crossed, eyes forward. Then, after a pause, “How’s the situation with Smith Royale?”She didn’t answer right

    Jason and Vanessa made their way toward the exit, heels clicking against marble, their pace unhurried, until a shadow stepped into their path.Caspian Montgomery stood squarely before the grand doors, blocking the way with deliberate menace. His face was a sculpture of cold fury, his eyes burning with the promise of retribution.He didn’t speak to Jason and Vanessa. He didn’t have to announce himself because his presence loomed like a stormcloud threatening to break.Vanessa stopped, ice settling over her features. No flicker of emotion, no hint of fear. Just that usually, glacial calm.Jason sighed, low, almost bored. The easy swagger he’d worn with Bryce evaporated. He was already tired of seeing this old man's face. Vanessa didn’t move. She stared Caspian down with steady eyes, but inside, her nerves bristled. The satisfaction from moments earlier bled away, replaced by a quiet unease that twisted in her gut.Jason tilted his head. “You again? What do you want?” His voice was flat

    The way Bryce tried to humiliate Jason in front of everyone grated on her nerves more than she cared to admit — and it showed her exactly what kind of man he really was.“So that’s it, huh? You’re throwing our whole friendship away over him? Wow… just wow.” Bryce didn't hide how offended he was. Well, of course he would be offended. After all, Vanessa had just exposed his lie and chosen Jason over him. And it was so humiliating, now everyone was glaring at him disdainfully. “I'll get out of your face Vanessa, but you will regret ending our friendship one day. I….”“Please,” Jason interjected, his voice low and firm, cutting off Bryce's pathetic threat. He stepped slightly in front of Vanessa, his gaze fixed on Bryce. “Just respect my fiancée’s wishes. Or else, I might have to take things into my own hands.”Bryce glared at Jason, his eyes burning with a mix of impotent fury and fresh humiliation. But the dangerous glint in Jason’s eyes, coupled with the weight of the surrounding star

    It was no secret at this point that Bryce was very much interested in Vanessa, and it had annoyed him to see that she was engaged to someone. However, now that he understood what was going on, he didn't hesitate to call Jason out for taking the girl of his dreams. Yet again, the lively crowd was drawn to Bryce's loud voice. And hearing what he just said about Vanessa Smith's engagement to Jason, some could not restrain themselves from commenting.“He has her trapped in a contract? What kind of loser does that?” a woman in a sleek green dress whispered behind her glass of wine, her voice laced with incredulity and amusement.“The kind that knows he can’t keep a woman like Vanessa Smith,” another replied with a dry chuckle. “He’s insecure. Has to legally bind her just so she doesn’t leave. Pathetic.”A man with slicked-back hair added. “Bryce was right to get in his face. If that was my friend being strong-armed into an arranged engagement like that? Please. I’d have done much worse th
