Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, they went along with the flow.“Like we said earlier, we’ve been invited to participate in a tournament. It’s all thanks to the people who live-streamed the game and even made edits of it,” Liam began. “We have to practice and participate to reclaim our name.”“Reclaim your name?” Tedmond asked, a bit confused.“Yes, you heard that right. We stopped playing because we lost one of our members to another team. He was our centre. And since we had no substitute, there was no one to replace him.”“No one wanted to join either,” Noah added. “They all wanted to join a team with a high success rate, even if it meant being a substitute.”“I guess we might even compete against that traitor later on if he makes it onto the court,” Oliver said. “Why do I feel like injuring him? That jerk left our team during our last tournament and joined the opposing team, getting us disqualified.”“I’ll always have a grudge against him,” James agreed.Tedmond underst

"I heard Tedmond cheated in the last game you played," the coach began. "He never learned to play or practice but kept up. Don’t you find it ridiculous that he was able to fool you and try to get into my training?"Kyle’s brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" He turned to Max. "What did you tell him?"Max shrugged. "I just told him the truth—that Tedmond is a beginner and had never held a ball in his life until the game with you.""Don’t you think you're going too far?" Noah demanded. "What do you want from him? Why can’t you leave him alone? You’ve been on his tail all this time like a pretty little fan. Are you idolizing him?"A smug smile crossed Max’s face. "Am I not right? Tedmond cheated in the game, and you all supported him because you wanted to save your team’s reputation. Don’t think I don’t know about your team almost hitting rock bottom before you found someone to cover for your lost player—Tedmond.""What the heck are you talking about?" Liam asked. "Senior, you sound dumb,

“What are you talking about?”“Are you seriously leaving?”“If you leave, what are we going to do?”“How can you leave this team and join the Bubbles?” a red-haired guy exclaimed. “Our team is well-known, and they’re barely holding on. If it wasn’t for the game with us, they wouldn’t have been noticed.”Kyle stared at the red-haired guy. “Being famous doesn’t guarantee skill. If our team was that good, why did they win?”The red-haired guy flinched and thought for a moment. “I think you have a point.”The coach was still stunned. “Tell me you’re joking.”“I’m not,” Kyle replied. “I’ve already made up my mind.”“Are you crazy?!” A loud, deafening voice rang out, and they all turned to see who it was. Oliver’s glare had intensified. “You’re the star of your team, and now you want to leave! What will happen to them if you go?”“There are plenty of substitutes,” Kyle said. “They don’t need me that much since they are great themselves.”Looking at Kyle, what Oliver saw was the spitting ima

Thomas watched as Tedmond read through the files. Soon, he carried Bianca out of the room since she had fallen asleep.An hour passed after Bianca left, and Tedmond finished reading the company reports. Many people were available to review and act on them, as he hadn’t been active for a long time.However, since his grandfather and mostly the housekeeper handled them, he wanted to familiarize himself with the company’s affairs.There were still more companies to check, meaning even more reports to read. He was grateful to Lora for summarizing everything for him after reading, which made it much easier.Remembering what had happened at school, Tedmond glanced toward Thomas.“Could you help me get a basketball coach?” he asked. “My team and I need one.”Thomas nodded. “I have someone in mind, young master. He will be at the court tomorrow, and I will arrange a place for you to stay,” he said, raising his brows. “However, are you interested in sports?”Tedmond furrowed his brows, thinkin

Maxine shook her head. “That won’t happen—as long as we stop him,” she said. “We just have to find his baby mama and check if she’s the one helping him. Then, we find a way to stop her.”A sneer crept onto Max’s lips. “Alright. I think it’s time to find the identity of the child. We need her name or a picture to use for the investigation.”Maxine nodded in agreement. “I can get a picture of her. I think I’ve figured out the restaurant they usually go to for lunch.”“Alright,” Max replied, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He could already picture what he was going to do once he found Bianca’s mother.Back in the college hall, Kyle glanced at Tedmond as they walked down the hallway with Kanis.“How were you able to hire Kanis?” Kyle whispered to Tedmond. “I heard he had retired at such a young age and only plays games occasionally.”Tedmond’s eyes darted to Kanis, who was talking with Liam and Noah while the others walked behind them.“He quit because he had some bad busine

A few minutes ago, all the members of the Griffin family were seated at the dining table for dinner—except for Harold. Max had a frown on his face as he spoke, and Lisa looked equally uncomfortable, barely surviving the discussion.“Then he got Kanis as a coach,” Max was saying. “His baby mama must be from an old-money generational family.”He had just told them everything that had transpired between him and Tedmond, including the rumors spreading about Tedmond at school.“I hate that brat!” Evelyn snapped, her fork digging into the table. Having listened to Max’s account, she felt the need to vent her hatred for Tedmond. “Why did he have to use his baby mama when he left the family?”Her gaze shifted to Lisa, a scowl crossing her face. If only Tedmond had brought the baby mama into the family instead of Lisa, she would have gladly traded Lisa for her own son, and that connection would have remained intact.Although she couldn’t say it aloud, her piercing stare sent chills down Lisa’s

Vivian’s voice boomed once again. “Tell me where Tedmond is! If anything happens to my grandson, you will regret it! Harold!” she shouted. “Come here now!”In less than a minute, Harold hurried down the stairs to face his mother. “What’s going on, Mother?”“Where is Tedmond?” Vivian asked.Running his hand through his hair, Harold sighed. “Mom…”“Where is he?”Harold glanced at Evelyn, and from the look on her face, he could tell what had happened. He turned his gaze back to his mother. “He left home.”Vivian frowned. “Tedmond would never do that. Max said he was kicked out of the house. I’m sure that’s what happened.”Harold scowled at Max. “Was he rude, Mother?”“Yes, son! He said a lot of terrible things about Tedmond!” Vivian replied.Placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, Harold sighed. “I’ll punish him later, alright, Mother? You should go upstairs and rest. I’ll help you find Tedmond.”Hearing that, Vivian was finally relieved. “Since Tedmond will be coming home soon, I can

Everyone turned to Finn, and so did Tedmond, who had no idea why he was being challenged. Challenging Tedmond to a duel meant that everyone in the class had to stop what they were doing to clear the area and even invite students from other courses.The classmates glared at Finn, disdain written all over their faces.“Get out!” One of the guys, holding out a shirt for Tedmond to sign, snapped. “Why would you say that at the wrong time?”“There’s no way we’re missing a chance to get Kanis's autograph for some stupid duel,” another added.“Give it up!” a girl said. “Don’t ruin my chances of having Kanis touch my headphones and handkerchief, leaving his scent on them.”The murmurs grew louder as the students voiced their complaints one after the other.“How dare you talk to me like that?!” Finn yelled. “I’m the backbone of this class! Without me, none of you would even be here!”Tedmond’s brows furrowed.“This isn’t high school anymore, Finn. Grow up.”“We all know Tedmond got a perfect s

Tedmond stepped into the VIP room, a slight frown creasing his face. The manager’s nonstop apologies had been exhausting, each word more unnecessary than the last. He wished the man had just left instead of lingering and repeating himself over and over.Now, he felt drained from nodding too many times just to acknowledge the apology. His patience had worn thin, and all he wanted was a moment of peace.As soon as Kyle saw Tedmond, he shot to his feet, his face breaking into a wide grin. His eyes shimmered, as if he were on the verge of tears.“Oh my God! I thought you were ignoring me, Tedmond!” Kyle blurted out, his voice loud and filled with emotion. His gaze swept over Tedmond like they hadn’t seen each other in ages, taking in every detail as if he needed proof that Tedmond was really standing there.Tedmond blinked, startled by the outburst. The tired expression that had settled on his face moments ago faded as he studied Kyle with a raised brow.“You seem so busy these days that
CHAPTER 215
Looking at the manager, Tedmond smirked, tilting his head slightly to glance at the employee who had been mocking him moments ago.Her face had gone pale. She had been the one to make it seem like he didn’t have the money to be in the VIP room, even though he had clearly stated that his friend was waiting for him.“Didn’t you say you’d quit if I was telling the truth?” Tedmond asked smoothly.The employee immediately panicked, scrambling to think of what to say. If she made a mistake and slipped up, she was going to lose her job.“I made a mistake,” she blurted out. “Your shirt made me think you wouldn’t be able to afford the VIP section. There have been tons of people who came in here claiming they could afford it, but they couldn’t.”The manager turned to her, but Tedmond stopped him with a raise of his hand.“You said you would quit if my shirt wasn’t cheap, like you claimed,” Tedmond muttered.She nodded, starting to feel relieved. She had only mentioned quitting if his shirt was

Hearing them, Tedmond sighed. He hadn't expected it to take so long to be allowed into the restaurant's VIP section. It wasn’t as if checking the list of guests in the VIP room and confirming who had invited him was a big deal.The employee, emboldened by the others’ reactions, smirked. “I was just telling him that the VIP section is for important guests only.”Tedmond remained unfazed, his expression blank. He had dealt with worse before. If they thought they could embarrass him, they were mistaken. Casually, he took his phone from his pocket and scrolled through his messages.“I don’t need to prove anything to you,” he said smoothly, not sparing them a glance. “My friend is already inside the VIP room.”Walsh raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. “Oh? And who might that be?”As soon as the question left Walsh's mouth, the employee was about to speak when Tedmond cut her off.“Kyle Krishin,” he replied, finally meeting Walsh’s gaze, his lips curling into a smirk.The moment the nam
CHAPTER 213
Realizing that Tedmond had recorded the entire conversation, they all began to panic again. They had just managed to convince Duncan to let them off, and now Tedmond had another piece of evidence to use against them—one that could involve the cops, as it contained proof of their kidnapping attempt.“We didn’t mean it that way!” Adeline yelled, completely panicked since she had also agreed to it. “We were just talking. Of course, there was no way we would actually kidnap your daughter—she’s our family.”“Adeline is right,” Harold immediately added. “We only wanted to meet her since you wouldn’t allow us to.”Tedmond tilted his head to the side. “Really?” he asked, his eyes softening as if he were considering their words.Adeline and the others nodded quickly, desperately hoping he would buy their excuse, even though it was so weak that no one would believe it.“Do you all think I’m dumb?” Tedmond demanded, his eyes darkening. His sharp tone made them flinch. “I don’t care how you come
CHAPTER 212
Everyone in the room froze as they saw Tedmond. His presence alone was enough to make them panic. They hadn’t expected him to be in the house at that moment, and now, he hadn’t just overheard them talking about him—he had heard all of their plans.Adeline began to panic, certain that he wouldn’t let them off now that he knew everything.“What are you doing here?” Harold asked, his brows rising in confusion.He had changed the combination code at the front door and was sure that no one had told Tedmond what the code was. How had he gotten in?Tedmond’s gaze swept over the room, his expression unreadable. Then, in a voice so calm it sent chills down their spines, he said, “Say that again.”His voice, though soft, carried a quiet menace that thickened the air with tension. No one spoke. His eyes landed on Adeline, who immediately looked away. Then on Harold, who shifted uncomfortably. His patience thinned.“Did you not hear me?” he asked, his tone still even. “I said, repeat what you jus
CHAPTER 211
As soon as the words rolled out of Richard’s lips, everyone present turned their heads to glare at him. Although he spoke about himself, his words sounded more like he was defending Tedmond, and they couldn’t stand hearing such a thing.“What do you mean you wouldn’t give it back?” Adeline demanded, her face twitching with anger.The others also wanted to hear Richard’s answer. How dare he say that when they were trying to figure out how to force Tedmond to let go of the shares and return them?“Like I said,” Richard began. “We’ve always told him how useless he was and made sure he felt worthless. Now that he has the shares—something even his father doesn’t have—he will never give them up, no matter what we do. So, it’s all a waste anyway. We should give up right here.”The others tried to speak, but Richard cut them off, unwilling to let them interrupt before he finished. He had already thought it through and was sure of his conclusion.From Tedmond’s behavior earlier, it was clear t
CHAPTER 210
At the Griffin Mansion the next morning…The Griffin family slowly gathered in the living room. Harold, on the other hand, looked at each of them in confusion. He had no idea why they had all shown up at his house.They had arrived at midnight, leaving him no chance to ask them their reason for coming.This time, Max was home, but he would soon be heading out for his lectures.“So, tell me why you’re all here,” Harold said once everyone had settled in. “Did something happen?”With a frown on her face, Adeline parted her lips.“Well, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for that bastard son of yours!”At the mention of Tedmond, Max’s brows furrowed.‘Tedmond again?’Max hated whenever Tedmond was the topic of discussion. It was either them mocking Tedmond or comparing the two of them.“You mean Tedmond?” Harold asked, his brows knitting together.“Which other bastard son do you have?” Evelyn questioned.Harold glanced at her. “I had to ask since there was no way you would have run into Ted
CHAPTER 209
Looking at Persis, Tedmond couldn’t help but wonder what she was talking about. She had just mentioned his father's company, and he had no idea what might be wrong with it.Since Duncan's silence had been bought with shares and the other external family members had intervened, the company was safe.For now.Tedmond still had a debt in the company’s name, and the interest would keep rising to the point where they wouldn’t be able to pay it back.When that time came, he would claim the company like it was the natural thing to do.On second thought, he realized he should have gone to the family home to see the expression on his father’s face. But it was better for him not to go while the others were there.That would be too much noise and trouble. He didn’t think he could stand all of them at once.“What interesting thing is about to happen?” Tedmond asked Persis, his brows furrowing in curiosity.“Harold is trying to make Max and Kyle friends again,” Persis replied, the look on her face
CHAPTER 208
“Did you just mention my mother?” Tedmond demanded, glaring at them with sharp intensity.He had considered ignoring them and walking away, but he hadn’t expected them to bring his mother into the conversation. It wasn’t the first time, yet it never failed to make his blood boil. How dare they bring her up after everything they had done to her?And why was it that he and his mother were the ones blamed for his existence, while Harold got to walk around free, untouched by their judgment?The look on Tedmond’s face made Frank and the others flinch. It was the first time they had seen him like this. In the past, he would have been the one looking terrified, avoiding their gaze.Feeling annoyed that she had flinched at Tedmond’s glare, Adeline opened her mouth to speak, but he didn’t give her the chance.“Did you just bring my mother into this discussion?” Tedmond repeated, stepping forward, his glare unwavering. “Didn’t Max tell you what happened the last time he mentioned my mother?”
