“Mr. Jed, your father has asked me to bring you home,” Peter announced the reason for his arrival with a harmonious smile.
Jed frowned slightly. Father? That word sounded strange to him. Both in his previous life and this one, he has never had someone to call his father.While he was thinking about this, he heard Peter’s malicious thoughts,‘How is this dirty, fat, ugly-looking creature fit to be my young master? He must have inherited these terrible facial qualities from whichever slut gave birth to him! Even his grades and behaviors are nothing to write home about! None of his teachers had anything good to say about him. A nameless dumbass like him wanting to ride on the Jetti’s coattails. Hmph! Dream on!’Jed looked up with a cold look and Peter quickly adorned his face with a wide amiable smile. Not even in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Jed actually heard what he was thinking.“Okay,” Jed stood up after giving this short but cold response. The butler bade the principal goodbye and hurried after Jed while murmuring quietly at how rude he is.For the first time in both lifetimes, Jed got the opportunity to experience a ride in a luxurious SUV. The way he kept looking round the expensive interior of the car with an astonished look disgusted the butler.Peter felt he must have never experienced such high-class luxury before. He made a mental note to instruct the servants later to sanitize the spot Jed occupied with his cheap clothing. He managed to hide his disgust while the car drove all the way to Jetti's villa.When they led Jed into the magnificent villa, his jaws almost dropped. Every single accessory in that house dripped of wealth. He suddenly paled in comparison to the house, standing there in his faded and patched clothes.As he waited in the hall Mr. Peter had led him too, he pondered in confusion,“If the deceased Jed’s father was this rich, why didn’t his mother own up to her identity before her demise? Being a baby mama of such an affluent man would have caused her to live in wealth till her demise and would have certainly saved Jed from the miserable life he lived.”Before he could get an answer to his questions, sounds of approaching footsteps filled the originally silent hall. He immediately stood to his feet and watched as an unfamiliar man appeared with the butler closely behind him.Jed swept his gaze on the gorgeously dressed man emitting a powerful aura in front of him. He could see some similarities between them.Only that, he was too fat for his age while this man was looking way too young for his age. It’s obviously due to the easy life he has led.Jed caught sight of a faint look on the man’s face before it disappeared as fast as it came. Was that a look of— disgust? He shook his head thinking he must have seen wrong. Why would his father look at him like he was disgusted by his presence? Just then, Vendetta chimed,Name: Alan Jetti.Profession: Prominent Business Mogul.Status: Married to Anna Jetti.Relationship Found: Biological Father To The User.Personality: Not Pure.Jed was confused by the last line. What does Vendetta mean by stating his father’s personality is not pure?“Alas, you are finally here. I’m sorry it took so much time to find you,” Alan’s gentle voice disrupted the thoughts in Jed’s head. “Your mother didn’t inform me about your existence and I was so sad to hear that Selena passed away.”Jed stood quietly. So the name of the mother to the original owner of the body was Selena. He looked at his father who had a remorseful look and couldn’t explain why he felt so uncomfortable at that moment.On normal circumstances, a father and son that has never met each other before would embrace themselves and cry happily upon reunion but Alan didn’t make an effort to move forward and Jed felt it would be too awkward for him to rush forward for a hug considering he shares no feeling for this man.When Alan saw that he didn’t respond, he added, “You aren’t upset with dad, are you?”He was puzzled by Jed’s behavior. Based on the reports that had been given to him, Jed’s personality was that of someone that would have rushed forward to hug him in tears.Why then is this young man standing in front of him with a distant look. Even the butler looked pissed.“It’s alright father. We both didn’t know about each other so we can consider it even,” Alan was surprised to hear Jed speak so calmly as if he was unfazed by the revelation of his identity. Why does this boy seem completely different from the reports he had gotten?According to his men, Jed is a gullible, oversized, dumb boy that could barely keep up with his grades at Elites High. This made him think of Cullen. What a complete contrast.“Don’t worry. Now that I know about you, I won’t let you suffer any grievance anymore,” he has also heard about Jed’s terrible reputation in the school.Such a child was a total disgrace to his dignity! When he finds out who leaked the news of him having an illegitimate child to the public, that person won’t witness another day!Jed’s eyes turned cold hearing all these. Total disgrace to his dignity? An illegitimate child he’d rather hide away? He felt so disappointed on the behalf of the original owner of his body. Even his biological father seemed reluctant to accept him.“I will try my best to compensate for all the grievances you have suffered. I have prepared an apartment for you so you won’t have to live in that dorm anymore. I have also secured an admission for you at a third-grade university so you won’t have to worry about your upcoming exams results.” Judging by Jed’s current grades, he will definitely fail the exam woefully.Jed smiled bitterly, listening to the thoughts of his supposed father.“Here,” Alan stretched out a card.Jed looked down at the card. It was a sort of bank card. The butler’s eyes widened because he recognized the bank card. At that moment, he really wanted to say, “Sir, isn’t this too much?”“Take it,” Alan thrusted the card into Jed’s hand when he saw that the juvenile had no intention of accepting it. “This contains $1,000,000 in the bank account I have created for you. It will cover all your expenses for the meantime. Don’t hesitate to ask Peter for more when you are in need.”Jed was stunned. His eyes displayed his awe after hearing the figure the card was containing. Never in his life has he heard or seen such a huge sum of money before. His originally stiff face relaxed and he nodded, “Thank you dad.”Alan felt a sense of accomplishment from the appreciation he heard in Jed’s voice but he sighed regretfully. Then he thought ruefully,’ I can only use this to keep you at bay before I figure out a way to get rid of you. Anna is furious enough about your existence. I can’t risk you co
Slam!Jed was puzzled to see the class bully, Henry in front of him. “Are you deaf? How dare you ignore me?” Henry growled in a voice deeper than that of a teenager’s. “Let him be, Henry. You can see he isn’t in a good mood,” Ben looked annoyed.“Shut up. Who cares? How dare he act high and mighty just because he is now the son of a wealthy family? Note, he is only an illegitimate son so he has no stance in the family,” Henry bellowed and the class laughed. Jed was irked. Why do they keep on calling him an illegitimate son when he’s got a real name?Amidst all these, a soft, flowery voice spoke, “If I didn’t know better, I would say you are jealous. Even if he is an illegitimate son, his status is higher than you who is just the son of a nouveau riche.” The class fell silent at these words. They all looked at the one that spoke. When they saw the pleasantly, beautiful face of the class belle, Liana Adams, they were perplexed. Even Henry blushed and rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
“But…” Eric wanted to protest but Ben pulled him back. He motioned for them to leave. He feels ever since that incident at the school’s assembly ground, Jed has been acting strangely. He seemed… Like a totally different person but they couldn’t question his actions as he had promised to explain to them later.Once his friends had left, Jed crouched in front of the janitor. “Sir, do you need money?” The janitor was surprised at his question.He gave Jed’s poor appearance a look. This lad already looks pitiful enough, how can he be of any assistance?Jed’s lips twitched at Ian’s thoughts. He understood Ian won’t answer truthfully based on how wretched his outward appearance is. So he said,” I was given more than enough pocket money and was thinking I should mail the extra $100,000 with me to a charity fund later. Are you sure you don’t need any money?”The janitor’s eyes gleamed. $100,000? Just the amount he needs. But his eyes dimmed; he couldn’t be so shameless to collect money from
“I hope Mrs. Henshaw will think carefully before spurting out whatever cooks up in her head, otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel!” Jed flared. Perhaps because of his sudden tyrannical demeanor, Mary found it difficult to speak. Only after he tossed his backpack and began running did she recover.“You...” she could barely utter a word in anger. By this time, Jed was far away. Ben and Eric laughed secretly. It felt so good to see that one of the haughtiest teachers in Elites has been put in her place.As Jed ran around, he thought of his task and the deadline. He needed to act fast to accomplish his revenge before the given time. His first step was digging up every useful information about the Jetti's, especially his father. If he wanted to rise to power, he had a strong feeling that Alan Jetti and his family would be his biggest hurdle in future.Not to mention, Alan was already seeking ways to get rid of him. He needed to avenge the late Jedidiah and also find out about his de
Surprisingly, Jed realized that he couldn’t find any tangible information about the Jetti’s on the web. Only that, Alan has three legitimate sons and one newly-found illegitimate son. That means Jed had three older half-brothers. Asides that, there was nothing else.He switched off the system in frustration and called out to Vendetta, ‘Vendetta, I can’t seem to find anything meaningful about my father and his family on the web. How do I fight the enemy when I don’t even know anything about them?”If Vendetta was a human, it would have laughed at Jed’s complaining tone. Instead, it calmly explained in its robotic voice, ‘that is expected because powerful people have enough money to hide their lifestyles from the media. Didn’t you realize there were fewer blogs unlike before about the revelation of your identity? Besides, wasn’t it weird you weren’t assailed by any reporter today based on the juicy news?’Now that it was mentioned, Jed thought of it. “But how do I find out what I need
Mr. Bo, the English teacher, distributed the question papers with a strict expression. The class was unexpectedly quiet because all the students were aware that he is one of the disciplinarians in the school and tolerates no form of nonsensical acts.As soon as the test commenced, Ben and Eric kept glancing at Jed. They haven’t recovered from the shock he gave them yesterday. When they saw that his head was low and he was writing seriously in his answer sheet instead of staring blankly at the ceiling and chewing the tip of his pen like he would usually do, they were convinced that last night was not a dream. But how the hell did their friend just change so much overnight? This lass surely has a lot of explaining to do.Mr. Bo was the stern teacher that had scolded the students on the podium. After that incident and the recent scandal that broke out, he didn’t have a favorable impression about Jed. So as he walked around the class invigilating the students, he noticed Ben and Eric gl
“You again,” Mrs. Henshaw finally noticed Jed. “Why are you here? What offense have you committed this time?”The sub-teacher didn’t let Jed explain. She walked to Mrs. Henshaw and showed her the script. “Ma, look at this. I didn’t expect this rascal would still find a way to cheat even after invigilating them strictly.”The students looked at Jed with contemptuous gazes after hearing this. Only a lowlife like him can stoop so low to cheat even at a mock test. Jane was secretly relieved that fortunately, she didn’t accept any gift or acknowledge his gestures when he chased her endlessly or the way he kept embarrassing himself would have certainly affected her reputation. Jed looked at her coldly at this moment and she immediately retracted her gaze. He turned to the sub-teacher and asked lazily,” With which eyes of yours did you see me cheat ma’am?”The sub-teacher was so furious that she immediately snapped, “If it wasn’t against the school rules, I would have given that swollen fac
Just like that, other teachers also stepped out. The statistics teacher waved the script in his hand and said,” Other students couldn’t get accurate data like this. They all made the same 19% error which is unacceptable in the law of statistics but yours was flawless!”“This is one of the simplest questions I got from an advanced coding textbook and I wasn’t expecting anyone to answer it but you actually solved it and got it right,” the ICT teacher commented with a pleased expression.“The answer to this question can’t even be found in countless books in the school library but you provided the correct answer!” the Library teacher exclaimed.Jed would have given Vendetta a high-five if it was human but alas… He had gotten assistance from Vendetta to solve the question the library teacher talked about.The faces of the students in elite’ class changed. Mrs. Henshaw’s face was so dark that if it were possible, it would be dripping with ink. She thought the presence of these teachers wou
