"Weren't there people watching over them?" The scary scene frightened Ben. His brows knitted as he remembered what had happened to them on the day of the common entrance. Why did these hoodlums also commit suicide like those assassins? His father stated that the attack had been from one of their enemies.Does this mean they and Jed have a common enemy since it is obvious these hoodlums came from the same faction of the assassins?Jed lowered his head when he heard this. It seems like he was overthinking. Perhaps Mr Palmer never lied about the assassins being sent by his enemies.Eric on the other hand just stood against the wall, lost in his thoughts. He didn't fret at the sight of so many corpses like he would originally have. "Keep on investigating and reinforce the security in Meta. Just because the company is going downhill doesn't mean anyone can carry out a sneaky attack on the CEO's personal assistant," Jed turned away."I'll carry out your orders right away young master," Jo
The day was almost gone but the pharmacist didn't appear. Ben even brought out his phone and asked Jed,"Shall I call our new friend?"But Jed shook his head. "Don't bother. The doctor Mr Skye promised will be here soon. It's better the pharmacist doesn't even come as it would only create more leads for them if they decide to search for Mason."Ben gave up after that. He didn't have anything else to do so he retired to his room early. Jed walked to the space that was originally meant to be the gaming room and met Adam in front of one of the desktops typing away furiously.His eyes subconsciously darted to the second seat Eric would usually occupy playing his games but it was empty.His brows knitted as he wondered in confusion; is Eric still hung up on Scarlet's issue? He and Ben had laughed off his reaction to meeting Scarlet for the first time as the usual schoolboy crush but this doesn't seem like an ordinary schoolboy crush anymore."Boss," Adam turned around on the swiveling cha
"I wouldn't have done that if you were capable," Alan Jetti didn't look up from the system he was staring at with a pair of reading glasses on his face."Dad, you had no right to! That was my project. One I secured myself," Jack's voice grew louder.Alan finally looked up. "Jack, you keep forgetting something. Although I put you in charge of some parent companies, I am still the chairman. As the chairman, I get the right to make decisions even if you can't alter."Jack clenched his fists by his side and couldn't find any words to retort because this annoying old man is right."Dad, are you doing this because of the issue that happened with Meta?""I gave you a chance to deal with that old bastard and bring him down because I wanted to see the strength of someone that has accompanied me for years and has been seriously groomed/taught. But what did you do instead?"Jack's hands clenched even tighter that his fingers dug painfully into his skin but he didn't flinch. He knew his father wo
"Who was that?" Finn asked absentmindedly. His attention was divided between the cargos some of his men were inspecting and the call.He got a huge order for these particular goods from a very loyal customer and didn't want anything to mess up the deal."He seemed to be that younger brother of yours. The one that was recently introduced to your family, boss."Finn paused as he tried to understand what the person over the phone was talking about. That was when it clicked in."Jed?""Yes, I saw him but I couldn't be too sure as the distance between where he was and where we were was huge."There was silence before Finn burst into laughter. The sound of his laugh confused the man over the phone."Jed in Moonview estate?" Finn's tone indicated he was unable to believe it.The man over the phone was confused. Wasn't it that young master he saw earlier?"Places like that aren't fit for dogs like him," Finn's laughter changed to a sharp tone. "Focus on the task at hand. When I finish handlin
[I'd officially like to raise an alarm that the trader with the initials J.J is a bot!] Someone with the username @diningwiththestars wrote in the discussion forum.[I support @diningwiththestars. How could someone not have a single flop in his investment chat? Every stock he seems to invest in suddenly rises and gain a profitable position] [If I didn't know better, I would say you veteran traders are jealous of the newbies gaining momentum. Lol] This user seemed to be mocking the first two as they constantly contributed to the discussion where other traders were mocking J.J decisions when he first started.[I guess they can't handle the fact that a newbie who only started his investment journey some days ago has already acquired more dividends than they ever did.][You said J.J is a bot.

At that same moment in Moonview Estate,Jed was heading to the kitchen to grab a cup of water when he heard a sneeze. He was too focused on the textbook in his hand at first to hear it.Like he told Adam, for the past three days, no one has left or entered the house except Dr. Daniel.Adam has spent most of his time in the gaming room doing some research with the desktop, Ben occasionally went to the balcony to study while Eric barely left the room aside to eat.He didn't even go to the gaming room and acted like someone that was moping around. Jed and Ben decided to ignore him, figuring he would snap out of it.Jed on the other hand had spent quality time studying some textbooks he purchased online in preparation for the classes that would resume.For a normal individual, it wouldn't be easy trying to study for so many disciplines but with Jed's memory skill, he'd managed to cover up things ordinary people wouldn't be able to assimilate in months.Currently, he was holding a medicine
While Dr. Daniel was performing his routine check-up on Mason, Eric, Ben and Adam having their lunch. Only Jed stayed and watched the doctor.Even though he had finished cooking for some time, the aroma was still lingering around and it took all the strong-will the doctor had to remain focused and act professional.Once he was through, he returned his tools to the kit he brought with him and hung his stethoscope around his neck."The patient is in a better condition than I expected. He has improved greatly. But his internal injuries and the broken ribs still need time."Mason's eyes darkened. No wonder his body was aching terribly. He suffered some broken ribs too. That bastard Will... Their many years of friendship was repaid like this?He shouldn't have ignored the saying that indicates that once someone tastes wealth, it gets into their head."But is it fine if he talks? He has some explaining to do," Jed asked the doctor. He wondered who Will, Mason has been mentioning is and what
Ben was suddenly assailed by three pairs of eyes. He immediately shrugged and raised his hands in defense."I didn't say anything. I only introduced myself and you guys. I didn't say anything violent, did I?"They were silent. Jed and Eric were present when he was introducing them so they knew Ben wasn't lying but Mason only reacted aggressively when he heard Ben's words.What could have caused him to act that way?"I guess we only have to wait till he wakes up again so we can find out what the problem is," Jed took a seat."I'm really curious about the blueprints he was talking about. Could it be the reason why the other party wanted him at all cost? They were even willing to lock him up.""But we mustn't stress Mason and force him to say things he doesn't want to. Remember the doctor's order," Ben warned.Hearing all these made Adam more curious than he was, he looked at the laptop in his hands and glanced at Mason who was sleeping peacefully.He almost groaned in frustration.
