Jason turned to Grayson and casually approached the bloody man. He was still tied to the chair, and gagged so he couldn't say anything, however he had a terrified look across his face as Jason approached him.

Having witnessed the way this man effortlessly took down three armed men, Grayson was rightly terrified for his life. He thought Jason must be some special military person, if he was that skillful. Was he going to harm him?

"Grayson Leung?" Jason asked, like he was confirming a grocery list. He reached out and removed the gag from Grayson's mouth, allowing him to breathe out.

“Can you answer some questions for me, Mr Leung?” Jason asked, his voice was casual, yet it made Grayson’s skin crawl. There was something about it that made him feel even more vulnerable than when he’d been tortured.

Grayson flinched, swallowing hard. The way Jason already knew his name was unsettling. He could only assume this was yet another threat, someone else looking to hurt him. “Yeah... yeah,” he r

    Her voice dripped with disbelief, not just because Jason might be cheating, but because he, a man she viewed as a worthless nobody, had managed to get close to someone as powerful and untouchable as Selene Voss. And worse, he had the audacity to betray her beautiful daughter?“Vanessa, do you see how much disrespect he has for you?” Seraphina snapped, eager to twist the knife.Cassira chimed in without hesitation. “If you ever needed a reason to dump this good-for-nothing, niece, this is it!” Jason stayed silent, refusing to dignify their insults. They were angry, and he couldn’t entirely blame them. But Marvin? That snake had crossed a line. Jason shot him a cold, deadly glare, his fury boiling beneath his calm.He turned to Vanessa and her family, finally speaking up. “That’s a lie. He’s lying.”“Oh really?” Cassira said, arms crossed, voice dripping with sarcasm. “Then enlighten us, Jason. Explain exactly how this is a lie. Because right now? It makes sense.”She threw her hands

    Vanessa stared at him with uncertainty in her eyes. Well, she didn't believe him, simply because she knew Jason was not at the level to deal with people like Caspian Montgomery. Not even the smith family was. What could Jason possibly do against a man like that? Caspian’s influence and pull was not to be ignored here. He had a reach of influence so great even the president of the country listened to him. She sighed, assuming Jason was letting his pride get in the way of his judgement, “Jason you….”“What is this?” Someone spoke before Vanessa could finish her sentence.It was her mom, who stood In Front of her with Cassira and Marvin. Seraphina wore a look of pure disdain, understandable, in her mind. Jason, that insolent nobody, had the nerve to show up at this event and stand near her daughter, even after she’d made it clear their engagement was over.“Vanessa, why did you invite him here? Now he is going to embarrass us.” She of course referred to Jason as she spoke.Jason loo

    Caspian, meanwhile, after walking away from Vanessa, spotted Jason. Jason was grabbing a glass of water from a waiters tray when he spotted Caspian walking away from Vanessa. “Mr Montgomery.” Jason gave the old man a nod as he walked past him. However before he got far, he heard Caspian call out to him. “Mr…. Anderson, is it?” Jason turned around to face him, and he let out a simple and small laugh, “No need to be formal Caspian, you can call me Jason.” Caspian heard the sarcasm in Jason's voice and that was one of the things that grated on him about whoever this person was. It was like he was making fun of him. Like he was making fun of the fact that Caspian didn't know that he was talking to the person who was actually responsible for making Elvis limbless.“Jason, you wouldn't happen to know Ms Vanessa smith would you?” He asked. He was thinking: if Jason knew Vanessa and was familiar with her, or if he admits that he is her fiance, then that would mean he was the Jason he was

    “Caspian Montgomery?” Bryce muttered, recognizing the business mogul. Caspian was a famous man with great influence, and so everyone, not only in Vanessa’s circle but in the whole event, recognized who he was, hence their surprise to see him ask to speak with Vanessa alone. Did Vanessa’s family have any business relationship with the Montgomery family? That was the question among many others, that was in their minds.The smiles faded. The group fell silent, exchanging glances before slowly muttering excuses and walking away, leaving Vanessa alone with Caspian.Vanessa waited for her former highschool mates to leave, and then she turned to Caspian, her expression tight. “Mr. Montgomery, can I help you?”Caspian gave a faint smile. “I will not take up too much of your time,” he said casually.“Sure. What do you want?” Judging by her no nonsense voice, Vanessa didn’t sugarcoat her dislike for Caspian.Why would she?Pretending had never been her thing. And she wasn’t about to start no

    Jason gave a friendly nod.Caspian glared at him, suspicion etched into every line of his face. Who was this boy? Without a word, he turned and walked away.Selene turned to Jason, eyebrows raised. “What was that about?”She wasn’t sure if Jason was brave or just ignorant of who Caspian Montgomery was. Either way, angering someone like him was dangerous. And from where she stood, it seemed like Jason knew exactly what he was doing—and had meant to tick him off.“What do you mean?” Jason asked, slightly confused.“He looked like he wanted to strangle you,” she replied.Jason shrugged. “Did he?”Selene gave him a sharp look. “I’m serious, Jason. You need to be careful. Caspian Montgomery isn’t just some cranky old man. He’s dangerous.” She lowered her voice to a near whisper. “He’s tied to Velmora City’s most powerful kingpins. It’s supposed to be a rumor, but it’s true.”Jason smirked. “Well, that’s unfortunate.”She frowned. “Why?”He leaned in slightly, voice low and teasing. “Becaus

    Tasha stiffened, caught off guard by his anger. However she didn't think he was being unreasonable for being angry right now. After all, even she now realized what a grave mistake it was, trying to disrespect Jason. Her mouth opened, then closed. She looked at Jason, shame visible in her eyes.“I’m sorry,” she muttered, barely able to meet his gaze. “I was wrong about you.”Brooke also did the same. “I judged you without knowing anything. That was wrong. I’m sorry.”Selene shot her step sibling an angry look silently commanding she apologise to Jason. Helen wasn't planning to do that. However with selene's cold gaze, she felt compelled to do so. She groaned, rolled her eyes, and threw her hands up. “Ugh, fine. I’m sorry, okay? Happy now?”Unlike the others, Helen didn’t fear Jason, not even now. In fact, she feared him less. If he was Selene’s friend, then he wouldn’t hurt her. Not when she was Selene’s sister. Step-sister, sure, but still family.Jason knew the apology was far from

    Jason did not expect that Selene would be related to Helen. They didn't even look alike. Meanwhile, Selene’s eyes snapped to Jason, stunned by her sister's claim. Her posture stiffened. Jason? Was he really the man Helen had been ranting about earlier. She recalled Helen’s earlier tirade, something about a man at the gym who’d made her uncomfortable. A so-called creep who stared too long at her and her friends as she was exercising, and then, somehow, flipped the confrontation on its head when confronted.But now… that man turned out to be Jason.Selene’s instincts told her Helen had blown the whole thing out of proportion, again. There was no way Jason was a creep. She hadn’t known him long, but everything about him, his composure, the way he carried himself, was far from that of an immoral guy lurking around gyms.“Helen, stop exaggerating,” Selene said, calmly but firmly. “Jason would never do that. I'm sure there’s been a misunderstanding.” She glanced at him, offering a soft sm

    “Yes, I am,” Jason said, cool as ice. “She’s clearly lying.”Tasha's eyes flared. Did he know what he was even saying? How dare he call her a liar? She grinded her teeth.“I’m not lying!” She turned to her boyfriend, clutching his arm “Babe, are you really gonna let him call me a liar?” she asked him. Tasha's voice dripped with challenge, daring Stephen, her black belt in martial arts boyfriend, to step up and restore her bruised pride.Brooke stepped in, arms crossed, chin high. “He’s out of line. You don’t talk to Tasha like that.”Helen added. “We should have you kicked out of here. “Honestly you give off psycho energy! Who invited this creep? I swear, this is not a fancy event anymore, how could it be, when they invite the likes of him!”The two boyfriends, Ernie and Stephen, locked eyes with Jason, puffing out their chests, as if they were ready to throw down. Actually, they were ready to throw down for real, because Jason was a creep who was stalking their girlfriends.Their m

    Gossips circulated about how Selene Voss had arrived with her boyfriend. Of course, that wasn’t true. Jason and Selene heard the murmurs, but neither of them bothered to stop them. It wasn’t anything unusual, events like this were always full of whispers and assumptions.The Smith family had also attended the event. The organizer had sent invitations to every wealthy and influential family in the city.And since the Smiths were powerful in their own right, they naturally made the list.Vanessa heard the rumors too. However she didn’t care about any gossip and ignored them. She was only here because she wanted to see if she could find anyone willing to invest in smith royale. Unlike Vanessa, Seraphina, Cassira, and Marvin, standing close to her, were intrigued by the news, for different reasons. Cassira and Seraphina had their own motivations, while Marvin had his.Selene Voss was a well-known woman, regularly in the news thanks to her family’s business, Voss Industries.One of the
