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?

    "Mom," He put his arms around his mother and whispered. "There are cameras and recorders around. Be careful of what you say. Let the attorney handle this. Don't ask him any questions."Frowns appeared on the faces of cops that were watching through a glass that only people outside can see the ones inside and not the other way around when they saw Jack's exchange."You have three minutes left!" The female officer outside shouted as if on cue.Anna shook herself and wanted to throw herself at Finn. "Look at what they have turned my son to. He is usually the tough and indignant one. Look how docile he has become."Jack frowned and glanced at the cameras again. As if he knew the cops were already jotting down the character of their suspect like they have just heard."Mom... Let's leave," It was a mistake bringing her here. "No—""Time is up," The door swung open and the female officer walked in accompanied by the officers that brought Finn in earlier."No, don't take my son away. Don't l

    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!'
