"Okay, thank you very much. I'll ask the finance team to settle your additional bonuses tomorrow. Expect a credit alert from me," Alan was beaming with smiles as he ended the call.

He looked up at the two young men in front of him and his smile widened.

"Jack, this old man apologizes for doubting you in the past. To think that I thought you had no potential to resolve this tricky issue. Tell me, son. How did you manage to get them to withdraw the case?"

It felt like it has been a decade since Jack last saw his father smile. His exhaustion from these past few days was gone in an instant.

He looked at Will who didn't have a happy face like theirs and turned back to his father.

"Father, Will had a trump card in his hands. We only resorted to it at the last minute."

"Last minute!" Alan slammed his hand on the table but the smile didn't diminish from his face. "I almost had a heart failure. Why wait for so long?"

But before he could get a response, he quickly added,"Ensure to keep all trace

    Jed picked it up from the coffee table to look at the message. It was the phone they had retrieved from the beach earlier.[Why aren't any one of you bastards answering my calls? Where the fuck are you?]Jed's eyes glazed over the name displayed on the phone's screen as the sender and he arched a brow.Boss?Is that how the jerk saved Will's name? Jed wanted to probe further but the phone was locked. "Hack this device," He threw it at Adam who almost missed. "The doctor said he can't tell as she is still in the operation theater but he will keep us informed. However, he said we should expect anything as she was in a very critical condition.""I wonder how those bastards tortured her. Her delicate skin was covered in bruises," Ben spat out, he couldn't find the appetite to swallow the hot choco in his hand so he just dropped the cup on the table with a low bang but loud enough to wake those sleeping."Sssh, be quiet," Jed looked up the stairs for any movement but nothing.

Is she the only female in class?As if that wasn't enough, Mrs. Andrews spoke again,"Where is your partner?" She couldn't see Jed anywhere.Liana flushed in embarrassment. She could feel everyone looking at her. She didn't need to know who Mrs. Andrews was talking about.Damn that jerk for leaving an impression on Mrs. Andrews that day.

    "Excuse me ma'am."Mrs Andrews hid a smile and continued the lecture as Jed walked out. She secretly thought,'Those two pretend to be at loggerheads with each other in class but look... They are taking excuses at the same time.'Jed headed to the restroom direction, the only place he suspected Liana would be.But just as he took a turn into the hallway that led to the restroom, he bumped into someone. More like she bumped into him."Ow! Watch where you are going," Liana snapped as she rubbed her nose which had turned red in pain.She looked up at him and thought he was only a teen yet his chest was already rock solid. Realizing her thoughts, she flushed."I'm sorry. Where were you rushing to? I thought something had happened to you," Jed wanted to reach out but refrained himself because he knew she wouldn't like it."Perv... Why would you come down to the ladies' restroom? Why do you even care if something happened to me?" Jed almost winced. Why was she getting so aggressive? He was

    Jed shook his head at their stupidity and smiled. "Okay—"Ping! Ping!The ringtone of his phone cut off the words he wanted to say. Arthur and Jayden looked at each other and walked away.As soon as they were a distance away from him, they exchanged the secret bro handshake."The bastard said okay. Meaning he already agreed. I can't wait to see the stupid look on his face when he faces coach wrath," Jayden guffawed."Keep it low," Arthur patted his back. "He's just some meters away from us. Nevertheless, I'm sure he wouldn't dare to tell the coach we gave him the wrong time.""Yeah. We'll just tell the coach we told him the appropriate time like everyone else but it seems he's a little bit dumb to comprehend it."This time, Arthur laughed. "Coach already hates the fact that he got in through the back door when the games are only some days away. Just imagine what his tardiness will cause."They sniggered and walked away. Meanwhile, Jed was on the phone with doctor Daniel. He had expect

    In the scanty office, only Alan's harsh breath could be heard. After a few minutes of silence, the attorney wanted to call out thinking he'd been forgotten over the phone when Alan suddenly asked,"What is the way out? What are we expected to do now?""I'm sorry Chairman Jetti. There is nothing we can do. The court hearing is tomorrow and representatives from your company are expected to be present at the Supreme court at exactly 9am."Alan's veins popped out in anger. He was about to lash out when the attorney added,"Chairman, we can't do anything about the withdrawal of the case anymore. I can only try my best tomorrow to minimize the loss."Alan's eyes dilated. He already ordered the PR team to let out news that the case had been withdrawn and all the rumors about the company were false.The company was beginning to regain their reputation and now this had to happen!"Your best is not enough! You are fired!" The attorney was stunned. "Sir... Sir...""Since you can't do anything us

    "For the new team member," Coach Dustin started. "We have eight sports events in total for this year's Olympics. I don't know how you are going to do it but I hope you'll have everything all figured out before next week. If you can't cope, don't waste my time and yours. Just quit."Jed sensed some displeasure in Dustin's harsh tone but he pretended to be oblivious and nodded obediently."Yes sir. I'm sure with the help of my seniors, I won't let you down."The team members greatly warmed up to Jedidiah. Coach Dustin noticed what he was trying to do and was surprised.He thought it was just another bratty kid. He wasn't expecting someone as humble as Jed. Thinking of the upcoming Olympics event, his surprised look disappeared.The rigid expression towards Jed was back. Arthur and Jayden smiled. They glared at each other and muttered,"Just because you escaped the first round doesn't mean you will be accepted.""Junior, what sport are you good at?" One heavily-built boy asked Jed. The l

He turned to Jed and asked with an eager look. "Junior, do you want to try weightlifting training? Who knows? You might discover it's your calling.""No! That's cheating. Why don't you ask Jed if he wants to try karate instead?" Another team member from the karate team protested."No, I think Jed is more suitable for athletics!""Table tennis isn't as strenuous as other sports. Someone like Jed would prefer to come over to our team.""Football also isn't strenuous. Besides, it's the fastest way to become famous in sports.

    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. If you want, I can direct the team of designers that di

    "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. "Were you able to see mom? I was unable to meet with her during my lockup. Those bastards... I'll dig their graves one after the other!"Vroom!The chauffeur ignited the vehicle as soo

    "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? Is Scarlett aware of this?Eva scribbled something on her board with a toothy smile. [No uncle, my mom's here too and she's having a word with the doctor]"So you wandered out of the ward yourself? Aren't you scared of making mama worried?"[I was going back to mama but I can't seem to find my way now]Eric laughed at the cute, little pout on her face. "I guessed right.

    'I can reject this task but I won't be able to use my AP?' 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!'
