"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. All t
"I'm better, young master. All thanks to you," Irwin gave Jed a smile. Thanks to the young master, he was able to spend more time with his fiancee during the time he was absent from work.They even resolved their conflicts and have begun to select a suitable wedding date."Mason," He walked up to the man on the sofa who refused to look him directly in the eyes. "I'm sorry for all you have suffered. Boss explained everything to me. It was partially my fault.""No, don't say that, master Irwin.""If I had investigated the matter properly, you wouldn't have suffered," He placed a hand on Mason's weak shoulders. "Now I know you weren't saying the truth about the incident with the Jetti's."Mason wanted to say something but Irwin didn't allow him to speak."Mason, I know you know something. We can only help you if you tell us."There was silence for a minute. Everyone looked at Mason eagerly but in the end, the latter just gave Jed a cautious look.Irwin understood Mason must be wary of Je
The boys exchanged a look. Finally, the matter was clearer to them. Now they only needed to get the truth known to the public and get justice."He has your fiancée so we cannot act rash," Adam spoke first."But we need to get justice for all they have done. Can we get those blueprints, Mason?" Jed looked at Mason who was suddenly tongue-tied.He has used almost his life to protect those blueprints. He was suddenly reluctant to give them away.Jed heard his worries and tried to reassure him. "Mason, we have to collect evidence and sue the second party to court. We need to let the public know that you were the one that wrote the code of the software, not the person that's currently taking credit for it."Mason's last bit of hesitation disappeared and he nodded. "They are hidden in a safe engraved into the wall in my bathroom just behind the tiles. It's the last place I thought one would think of."Eric had to give him a thumbs-up for the brilliant idea which he smiled at."So what's the
Eric looked at them with hidden anxiousness hoping they bought his words. Just as expected, one of the men stepped forward with a picture on his mobile phone."No young master, we haven't met before. But have you perhaps seen this man?"Eric looked at the picture in front of him. It was a picture of Adam even though the person in the picture looked more malnourished than how he is now. This confirms Adam's earlier reaction.A look of confusion adorned his face and he looked up. "Who is he?"The man sighed and put away his phone. "He is our little brother. He's facing some health challenges and has escaped from home. Our old mother is really worried about him."Eric snorted inwardly. Younger brother? Who would believe these huge, scary men were elder siblings to Adam who had a scrawny figure and shared no resemblance to them at all?"Forget it if you haven't seen him, young master. Sorry for the inconvenience," they took their leave."I hope you find your brother!" Eric shouted behind
