"I don't know why I bothered to find you. I'll just go and tell Dad," Ken gave Jay a hateful look and stormed off.

Jayden moved to follow his younger brother and explain things with him when—

"Jay..."

He looked down at Scarlett and impatiently told her,"I'll see you later. My brother is upset. I have to find him."

Then he was gone. Scarlett's beautiful eyes filled with tears. She was also upset but he didn't even notice or bother to comfort her!

Laura was secretly happy but she put her hands around Scarlett and complained pitifully,"I've told you many times not to bother about him when he acts like this. Scarlett, you are too good for him. What do you even see in him?"

"I love him," Scarlett whimpered as she was led away.

She didn't notice Laura's dark expression. 'This love is what's gonna be the end of you at last!'

As the trio got to the car park, Jed caught sight of Liana getting into a vehicle and the other lady he had seen the other day.

He forgot to tell Adam that Liana r

    "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

    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.

    The entire Powell family was left dumbfounded by the unexpected twist. Mr. Harry, the patriarch, spoke up, his voice strained with disbelief, "Selena Morgan? That's my sister." The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by Mrs. Powell's sharp intake of breath. "What!!!" Her eyes widened with shock and remorse. She had, unknowingly, harbored resentment toward her best friend's child for years. Mrs. Powell, her voice quivering, admitted, "Selena and I were best friends. I never knew... I never realized Estelle was her daughter yet I've unintentionally harbored this hatred towards her all this while." The room buzzed with mixed feelings. Joy and confusion lingering in the air. The family felt heavy with the surprising news, trying to understand the mix of feelings and the complicated connections that had just been revealed. Drake, still grappling with the newfound knowledge that Jed was his biological cousin, couldn't shake the conflicting emotions. As he observed the joyous

    "Mmph!"Liana thought he was distracted and leaned in to steal a kiss but at the last minute to her disappointment, his large palm blocked her lips.Jed could feel her pout beneath his palm so he smiled and removed it before pulling her towards him tightly and kissing her till she was out of breath.Her face was as flushed as a beetroot red. He smiled and kissed her swollen lips again before looking down lovingly to tell her,"Don't play around. We'll be at Powell's residence soon and we have to be on our best behavior.""Okay," Liana nodded with an innocent look. "I'll try to remember that."Jed chuckled, shaking his head helplessly. As the car continued the journey, he couldn't help thinking of Vendetta's words.What was it trying to insinuate by stating the members of the Powell's are six instead of five? Could it be experiencing a glitch?"Sir, we are here."After some time, the car came to a stop in front of the magnificent Powell's family residence.Jed got out and led Liana in.

    "Dad, I have some important work later which I cannot cancel or postpone so count me out," Drake's face was distraught with annoyance."I can tell you are lying. You are the boss and you can easily handle any work.""Dad," Drake got exasperated. He clutched the handle of his swiveling chair tightly. "What makes you think I'll really go to dinner with Jed? He and I are archenemies."Jack's ears perked up upon hearing that name. What could that little brother of his be up to now?Why would he invite the Powell's to dinner?"Drake," Harry's tone turned stern. "If you don't come home tonight, you know what I can do. Those shares of mine that are still in the company aren't for an act."Drake gritted and clutched the phone tightly. Although he is the CEO of their family business, his father still remains the chairman and the old man possesses a fair amount of shares that could make him wary."I'll be there."Jack's eyes flashed fiercely when he heard this. Drake looked clearly unwilling, w

He only flicked his fingers indicating for the guests to be led in.The secretary nodded and stepped out. When the door reopened, he finally looked up. His eyes glazed with surprise at his august visitors. He stepped away from the computer and dropped his glasses."What a pleasant surprise," He turned to signal to the secretary to bring up refreshments.As he motioned to Jack to have a seat, he stretched out his hand for a handshake."To what do I owe this special visit? Welcome back."Jack smiled, accepted his handshake and looked around the office. "I can see why you are number one. The interior design is topnotch."Drake's face softened with a smile and he shrugged, "Young master Jetti really knows how to joke around a lot.

    "Mr Powell, don't get grandma so worked up. It's fine if you don't want to talk about whoever you—" Jed led grandma Powell to a bench."My sister. Don't mention her. Anyone that ran away from one's family for years without looking back doesn't deserve to be family.""Harry, don't be so mean," His words made the grandma upset as her eyes dimmed with tears.Jed silently noted whoever Mr Powell's sister was must have been important to the old madam. Why did she run away... Jed didn't think intruding too much would be acceptable but he knew now her running away from home must have hurt Mr Powell so much that he doesn't even want to talk about her."Grandma, I'll be sad if you are sad. I came all the way today just to visit you?"His words made grandma Powell guilty and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face. "Boy, you are such a sweet talker. I want to go for a walk. Come. I'll show you the beautiful flowers I have planted myself in this garden."With this, Jed led the old woman. Hand in

    The prison doors opened and a young man with a rough appearance and outgrown beards stepped out.He looked around and finally found the person he was searching for. With a smile that lit up his slightly tanned face, he walked to the person awaiting his arrival."Younger brother," He called out. "How long has it been and you are already all grown up. I'm glad you didn't let me down."Cullen accepted these compliments with a smile and informed him, "Elder brother, I have completed all formalities for your release and just like you requested, no news was released to the public."Jack nodded with satisfaction and patted him. Then they walked to a SUV."Where is Finn?"Cullen's gaze darkened. "He is still unable to step out, elder brother. But he is awaiting your arrival."Jack's smile vanished hearing this.

    "Yes," Eric sighed faintly as he reached out and patted Eva's peculiar red hair.Then with a little smile, he added, "Anytime I meet this little one, she seems to have run away or gotten lost. Tell me, did you get lost again this time?"Jed watched with confusion as Eric crouched and lifted the girl in his arms.He knew due to Eva's autism, she's never gotten along without strangers. Now she's let Eric readily carry her and the two seem to appear too familiar with each other.Does this mean Eric already knows? Why was he acting oblivious then?

He sounded exasperated to Vendetta.He has acquired these AP painstakingly for years and now the first opportunity to use them was here but he had to sacrifice something to do that.[Yes]Vendetta's chime disrupted his thoughts."Jed?" Eric called out when he turned around and saw that Jed had stopped walking."I'm coming."[Does the user accept this task or not?]Jed paused and thought of it. If he accepts this task, he would be able to get some clue about his long lost sister as the information he got from the real world isn't that very helpful.But accepting it means he has to go against his will to befriend the Powell's. How is he supposed to convince them he suddenly wants to be on good terms with them?As if on cue, Vendetta added,[If the user is unable to convince the targets and build a good relationship with them, this system will automatically count it as failure]'You are not helping,' Jed gritted.

    As soon as they returned to their vehicles safely, Eric instructed his chauffeur to leave with his car as he would be hitching a ride with his friends.When they got into the second vehicle, he removed his shirt as he was feeling uncomfortable."Why is it so itchy? What material did they use?" He asked rhetorically as he itched his body.Jed wasn't having the same reaction but was staring at Ben through the rear view mirror.Although the latter looked like he was conscious of his surroundings, he was in a terrible state and could barely keep his eyes open."Ben, we'll get you to the hospital," He said worriedly as he drove the car out of the surroundings.'Ping!'
