บททั้งหมดของ LUCAN VALE: THE GHOST ASSASSIN: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 68

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

“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

After getting the car keys from Vanessa, Jason left. Half an hour later, he drove down the quiet road, the city fading behind him. The headlights cut through the darkness, the smooth hum of the engine filling the silence. The highway was mostly empty, just a few cars passing by now and then.His mind was still replaying the night’s events, Seraphina and Cassira’s lies getting exposed, Lady Smith stepping in, and Vanessa... surprisingly kind. She even gave him her car to get back home with. That could only mean that she didn't dislike him anymore.That was the part that lingered with him most. She was finally starting to accept him.Up ahead, the road curved slightly. He adjusted the wheel, glancing at the speedometer. He wasn’t in a rush, but he wanted to get home, take a hot shower, and shut his brain off.Just at that same time, out of nowhere, someone jumped out from the bush onto the road. It was very dark so they weren't very visible, until they were Infront of the vehicle.Jas

Jason had no clue where Mikayla lived, and she was in no state to tell him. So he took her to the only place that made sense: His villa.It sat tucked away in a private enclave. A place with tall gates, security cameras, and silence money could buy. This villa was given to him by the eclipse syndicate, to use while he is here on his mission. The building itself was sleek and modern. Jason stepped out of the vehicle, and walked around to open Mikayla's side of the door. She was still unconscious even now. Jason searched for a pause and she was still breathing. Maybe she was exhausted and was going to be asleep for a while.He carried her inside the villa and placed her on the leather couch in the living room. The moment he let go, she curled into herself slightly, instinctively. She looked vulnerable, curled like someone used to bracing for the worst. Jason almost felt bad for her. Jason stood for a beat, staring down at her. She was breathing steadily. A bruise was forming along h
