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
As the boys walked to school the next day, they noticed many students were standing in the hallway almost obstructing the path to classes. "I wonder what's going on," Eric was naturally curious and wanted to peek at what they were looking at on the bulletin board but he was drawn back.Without looking up, Jed reminded,"Have you forgotten we have an 8am lecture and there are just five minutes left?"Eric complained about how he and Ben were strict but still followed behind them to class.When they got to class, their lecturer wasn't there yet but Jed brought out a textbook that had 'Data Structure' on it and began to study it.Eric sat back, playing some games on his mobile phone while Ben brought out a notebook to continue the solution of an assignment.The students were pretty noisy. Some boys even glanced over at Jed's table. Until finally one of them walked over and knocked on the desk.This alerted the attention of the entire class. Jed looked up lazily and couldn't recognise the
No one answered but all attention was on the boy at the center of class with a backpack in his hand. His regal and elegant appearance coupled with his cold expression caught even the boy at the doorway off guard.He went absentminded for two minutes before walking up to him. "Jed, you have been asked to come to the professors' block immediately."The students were alarmed. A smirk appeared on Owen's face. Did this fool not only get himself into trouble with the lecturers but the professors also?The lecturer however had a frown on his face. He was going to order Jed to go to the lecturers' block but unexpectedly he is called by the professors?One should know the identities of the professors in Elite Academy aren't ordinary. They didn't even teach students but offer lectures on special occasions.Moreover, they were more of mentors in the college. Even with that, only gifted students get to have one of them as a mentor.He as a sub-lecturer would have to go through a lot of connection
When Jed went back to the class, he was accompanied by Professor Shawn and the other professor. The appearance of these big shots startled the class including the lecturer who was rounding up the class.But as soon as these professors appeared in the class, Owen felt Jed had really committed an offense.He stood up and rushed out of the class to play the role of a good head of class."I apologize on his behalf, professors. Though we don't study well, we are good students. If Jed has been caught cheating or found guilty of an offense, please forgive him and give him one last chance."He looked righteous as he bowed. Even the class thought; yes, that must be it. Jed must have cheated.Remember, he was even the first to submit at the algorithm test the previous day. He looked quite confident of his work so he must have cheated or committed other offenses that angered the professors.But in a split second, Prof Shawn spat out coldly,"Who are you and what nonsense are you saying? Who told
