For the rest of the day, all the activities were perfectly arranged; they could play immediately upon arrival without affecting other visitors, and every bit of treatment was top-tier.
Luis was smug, feeling like he had regained half of his dignity. However, what made him deeply uncomfortable was that Tanya Covell still mostly ignored him.
No matter the attraction, she kept trying to stay close to Jason Carter, and in the haunted house, she clung to Jason several times.
Even though Luis was right next to her, wanting to act protective, she pushed him away without hesitation and ran toward Jason, who was several steps ahead.
Luis was on the verge of collapsing, and an evil thought surfaced in his mind: secretly tell the manager to find an excuse to send Jason away.
But the last shred of sanity stopped him. It wasn't moral restraint—he simply knew that doing something so petty would be obvious to everyone and ruin his reputation completely. On top of that, Jason's prestige today was too overwhelming; the others would definitely object, and Tanya might even leave with Jason, making it completely pointless.
Fortunately, he still had that bit of sense left, or things would have ended in humiliation if he had actually asked the manager to kick Jason out.
So, while the rest of the group had a great time, Luis spent the entire time sulking.
He still had feelings for Tanya and didn't dare vent at her. And he definitely couldn't vent at Jason. So eventually, his frustration landed on the one classmate he found easier to boss around:"Everyone's thirsty—go buy water."
The male classmate didn't mind buying water, but Luis' tone made him uncomfortable.
Luckily, Manager Sun stepped in, saying,"No need to trouble yourselves. Right next to this area is our special attraction—the White Tiger Paradise Restaurant. You can have drinks and food while watching the white tigers perform."
The amusement park's main focus wasn't animals, but it did host a few performance attractions, and the white tiger show was one of the most popular.
Standing spots were free. But if guests wanted to sit, eat, and drink while watching, they had to meet a high minimum spend—enough to make regular people hesitate. If you ordered a few extra dishes, it became outright luxurious. Even then, it was usually hard to get a seat without booking ahead.
It was a high-end, classy spot.
"Manager Sun, that's really too much trouble for you," Luis said, chest puffed out even more.
"Not at all, not at all, as long as everyone enjoys themselves."Manager Sun genuinely didn't understand why this guy kept stealing his thunder. He was trying to flatter his boss—why did this guy keep jumping in? If he weren't Jason's classmate, he would have punched him already.
Everyone sat inside the White Tiger Paradise Restaurant, drinking juice and watching the tiger performance. Just then, a group of people walked in.
Manager Sun immediately stepped forward respectfully:"General Manager."
Luis quickly got up, and the other classmates followed. After all, the General Manager had treated them so well; standing was the polite thing to do. Only Jason Carter remained calmly seated.
"General Manager, hello," Luis said, walking up with both hands extended. He was respectful but a little panicked, unsure why his friend had involved the GM.
But the General Manager directly bypassed him and walked straight to Jason:
"Boss, are you enjoying yourself today? I apologize—I had to leave town for business and couldn't personally host you. I arranged everything remotely and asked Manager Sun to accompany you."
Jason nodded lightly."It's fine. Manager Sun did a great job. Handle your business—we're having a great time."
"Boss, if there's anything we haven't done well, please tell us directly and we will improve immediately," the General Manager said respectfully.
He was overthinking it, assuming a major investor like Jason wouldn't spend all day playing. He thought Jason was here privately inspecting operations.
Jason Carter looked at his classmates and said calmly,"I think everything's been great. I haven't noticed anything needing improvement for now. If any of you have suggestions, feel free to tell the General Manager so he can adjust things."
Everyone froze.
Their eyes widened, jaws half-open.Suggestions?How could they possibly give suggestions?
The General Manager had just addressed Jason as "Boss."
That meant—This entire amusement park belonged to Jason Carter?
That couldn't be real, right?
This place—Queen Park—covered nearly ninety acres, filled with high-end attractions, restaurants, shows, maintenance depots… They weren't experts, but they knew it had to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Not just Tanya Covell, Ava Summers, Lewis Brooks, and the others were stunned.They already understood that Manager Sun treated Jason with respect…But they never imagined Jason was the owner of the entire amusement park.
Tanya finally worked up the courage to ask, "Wait… is the park operated in sections? Are you the owner of just one part of it, or…?"
The General Manager replied respectfully,"Queen Park operates as one entity. The entire park belongs to Mr. Carter."
Boom.
Every last shred of doubt shattered.
Jason Carter wasn't just rich.He was the owner—the man behind the entire park they'd been enjoying all day.
Tanya's eyes sparkled like she was about to jump on him.Tanya Covell: Favorability +20
Ava's expression turned bright with admiration.Ava Summers: Favorability +10
Meanwhile, Lewis Brooks—the slick-haired showoff who had been bragging all day—stood frozen, like someone had unplugged his soul.
One sentence replayed in his mind on a loop:
"The entire Queen Park belongs to Jason Carter."
He could feel the stares from everyone around him, each one looking at him like he was a living joke.
Finally… finally he understood.
His "connections" could never summon this level of treatment.Manager Sun's personal escort and all-day hospitality had nothing to do with him.
Of course it hadn't.
The owner was present—naturally the staff would treat him with top-tier service.No wonder Manager Sun had been so humble and respectful.
Shame, humiliation, disbelief, and dread all crashed through Lewis at once.His vision swayed—he genuinely felt like he might faint.
