"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
"Woah.... Woah... Woah, dude, have you forgotten?" A heavily-built boy with muscles that were practically bulging out of his best pushed Justin out of the way."Have you forgotten he has to try every event?" 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. Say junior, do you want to join our team?"Arthur was bewildered when even the soccer team invited Jed. What is going on??? He and Jayden plotted for this bastard to be humiliated.Why does it seem like not only have they not failed in their plans, they also upli
With a smile, she stood at the pathway but Jed just brushed past her like he didn't see her there. Embarrassment washed over Jane.She didn't even need to turn around to know the girls were laughing at her. She refused to be humiliated and reached out to grab Jed's arm."I don't like strangers touching me," He didn't look at her, rather his eyes burned into the arm resting on his.Jane immediately pulled her hand away like it burnt her. The girls closeby that heard him snickered.Jane gritted her teeth and looked at him. Wasn't this the same Jed that was running after her in the past?Willing to do anything even going as far as reading a love letter in the public just so she could accept him.Now that he was popular, good-looking and even better in some ways than Cullen, he distanced himself from her. She really regretted all that she did in the past.But still, to save some face, she smiled beautifully and stretched the towel in her hands to him. "I brought this for you when I heard
Just then, the boys were coming downstairs fully dressed for college. Adam was standing at the doorway of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hand.He signaled at Jed with his eyes then. When the boys saw Lawyer Sean and Mason's confused look, they glared at Jed accusingly."You didn't inform him?" Eric whisper-yelled. "I thought you had plans."Jed itched his head nervously. "I ran out of plans."Ben facepalmed. Was it good dropping the bombshell on Mason like this? Poor man, looking so confused."I didn't know the almighty Jedidiah Jetti could run out of plans," Ben still teased."Boss, thank God you are here," He walked to Jed, meeting them at the foot of the stairs. "What's lawyer Sean doing here and what lawsuit is he talking about?""Mason, I want you to keep calm okay?" Jed motioned with his hands and Mason nodded."You have to get dressed and accompany lawyer Sean. Adam will follow you."Adam almost spat out the coffee in his mouth in shock. He looked at Jed with an aggrie
What they didn't know was that as Mr Chadwick flipped the sheet, his jaw almost dropped. Jed had written each question's answer word for word even though there was a maximum number of questions they could answer. He would have suspected the boy cheated with a textbook but the formulae written in the sheet were completely different from the ones in the textbook and each workings was done correctly without a single error. When he recovered, the class was empty. He grabbed a student that had come to submit. "Do you know the boy from earlier? The one who submitted this sheet." The boy felt Mr Chadwick was acting weird. Were the workings really that bad? "No sir. I don't know him." Mr Chadwick didn't continue asking. He simply kept Jed's papers separately and went through the remaining sheets that were submitted. After going through them, he realized aside from Jed, there were three others that wrote something tangible so he dumped the remaining empty sheets into a trash can and rush
"Oh my God, this is huge!" A girl gasped as the trio walked past. Ben and Eric still fixated on the news they were reading on the phone."Is this the ultimate downfall of the Jetti's?" Another student asked."The parent company had just lost a hectic lawsuit and has incurred a tragic amount of losses. Now the son of the chairman is in trouble too?""Who didn't know Finn was into these illegal activities before but none of the securities dared lay a hand on him in the past," Someone whispered, afraid to be heard."Yes, it's true. I heard from my elder sister that he used to be among their set but due to his transgressions, he often got into trouble with the school board.""But even so, I heard the school authorities were no match for the influence behind him. He dropped out himself."Ben and Eric only managed to take out one vital point from the words flying around them.They looked at the bold headline again that stated,[Business Mogul's son, Finn Jetti In Trouble With The Interpol.
Jack hid his killing intent and lowered his eyes. "Father wouldn't act so rashly because of this silly mistake. I have followed him all these years. My loyalty won't be overridden by this small catastrophe."When he saw that Anna was still worrying, he added,"Mom, we should be more concerned about Finn instead. At this point, it's better to head over to the attorney."Anna looked pale and nodded quickly. Jack put his arm around her shoulder and led her away. But before they stepped into the elevator, he looked back at the hospital ward.What did his father want to speak with the personal assistant about so badly? A killing intent appeared in his eyes but the elevator made a 'ding' sound snapping him back to reality.Meanwhile, in the hospital ward,"Sara, is this how you dress everywhere?" For the first time in months, Alan felt the dressing sense of his personal assistant was an eyesore."Sir... I..." Sara was flustered."Forget it," Alan waved the hand that wasn't connected to the
"Yes. I've been too busy to do some research lately. Once I get Meta Inc settled, I'll—""Young master, don't worry about it. I have done the research for you," Johnny cuts through his explanation. He raised three different files in blue, yellow and green colors respectively."If you want to enter into the real estate economy, you have to go through these three magnates."Jed sat up upon hearing this. Three magnates? Why?"Young master, these three are solely based on real estate. They were the ones who started the real estate business. They started as small family businesses at first but since the market started booming, they grew into giants in that industry and even gave way to minor businesses.""I'm listening. Go ahead," Jed nodded like a student when Johnny paused to see if the youngster was following along.He dropped two of the files and held up the blue one."Young master, this file belongs to the Wade real estate agency," He flipped the file open and began to read out his re
