She nodded, and pointed towards the elevator. Jason nodded back and they both made their way to the elevator.The elevator ride was silent. Neither of them said much. Mikayla was just relieved to have run into Jason, even if the circumstances weren’t great.When they stepped out, a large, opulent door came into view, marked with a brass plaque: Accounting Office.Mikayla pointed. “That’s it.”A few seconds later, they walked in.An old man who looked like he was in his sixties with a potbelly was seated behind a desk. His eyes shot up from his paperwork to look at the two people that walked in. The second he saw Mikayla, he mocked, “Well, well, if it isn’t Miss Mikayla. Back again? Still trying to pay for that impossible bill, dearie? You know, we don’t run a charity here.” He looked at Jason standing next to her, and he chuckled, a dry, humorless sound. “What, did you finally find a rich boyfriend to take advantage of? Or perhaps you actually brought the money this time?” Jason’s u

Jason’s eyes met hers, calm but sharp. It made her realise that this friend of Jamal was here on some serious business. Which was more worrying to her. Because she didn't want to offend him and lose her job.“I’m here about Doctor Angus,” he said, voice low but steely. “There’s a serious issue with his conduct. It needs to be addressed now, before that man goes anywhere near a patient again.”Pauline’s professional facade was not visible on her face anymore, just for a bit. She thought, ‘Angus, what did you do to piss off Jamal White's friend?’ She showed Jason a smile and said, “I… see. Mr Jamal mentioned there was a concern, but I wasn’t given the full details.”“You will be soon, ” Jason replied. “But first, I want you to call Doctor Angus here,” he said. Though he asked politely, his tone betrayed him. To her, the so-called request landed more like a direct challenge.Pauline simply didn’t like it. Not one bit. Angus was a senior physician, someone she had personally helped rec

Celia's cheeks turned slightly red from feeling embarrassed by the overheard family drama. Only if her mom didn't start arguments with her sister too much. Celia sighed. "Okay, Nina, let's change the conversation."“Sure,” Nina said, not sounding sure at all. “Although... one last thing. Vanessa has, like, tons of options. So why him? Why pick a loser like that?”“Nina, stop it,” Celia snapped, sharper than before.Inside the villa, the place was blissfully quiet. No nosy Smith relatives hanging around the living room. Jason was relieved by that. He leisurely climbed the stairs to Vanessa’s room and knocked gently."Come in," Vanessa's voice called.He found her standing before her mirror, already getting ready for work. She met his gaze in the reflection. "Oh, it's you. I thought you were Celia." She turned fully to face him. "You were supposed to bring the car back first thing this morning."Jason shrugged. “Something came up. Emergency stuff.”She gave a small nod, however she didn

Meanwhile, Jason exited the building without incident. No sudden ambush, or last-minute change of plans from Logan. Just silence. He slid into the Benz, shut the door, and exhaled slowly. One hand on the wheel, the other tapping his phone screen. He had another task to handle. He had to call Jamal White and instruct him to help Smith Royale out of their financial situation.Jason pulled up the contact and hit Call. Jamal wasn’t just some businessman; he managed several high-tier corporations under the Eclipse Syndicate’s umbrella. If anyone could make moves quietly and fast, it was him.The line rang once before it clicked. “Jason Wolfe,” Jamal’s voice answered smoothly.“I need you to push an investment into Smith Royale,” Jason said without introduction. “Can you use one of the shell companies? Make it look like a partnership, something clean and mutually beneficial.”“Sure, I'll get to that. I'll have one of my associates reach out to Smith Royale.” There was a beat of silence. Th

“you’re the man my cousin was promised to?”Jason gave Morgana a polite smile.“Apparently.” Morgana snorted, tilting her head as if inspecting a stain on her blouse. “You don’t look like much. I’m surprised Vanessa agreed to settle for this. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised, because although she doesn't look like one, my cousin is really a loser deep down.” She whispered.Jason was ignoring her tone until she spoke about Vanessa like that. He gave her a cold look, “Looks can be deceiving.”He paused, letting the silence breathe. Then added with a lazy smirk:“Ask Charlie.” Morgana’s smile disappeared and for a second, something flashed in her eyes annoyance, or maybe curiosity. She said nothing else and strode out of the office, Chloe the secretary following behind her. As the door shut behind them, Jason turned to Vanessa with a raised eyebrow. “Is that your cousin?” “Unfortunately she is.” Vanessa said with disdain, and then she let out a sigh, “And she wants my position, bo
