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
"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
"Goaaaaal!"Jed exchanged handshakes in the air and happy hugs as the crowd cheered widely. Feminine voices automatically overpower the male ones."Team A wins... Again!" The coach's loud voice was easily subdued by the crowd's happy cheers. "Darn it!" Arthur kicked an empty can away angrily and panted as he watched the girls on the stands going wild.Some were even carrying stickers they made for Jed. He sneered; aren't those bitches over hyping the bastard?This is just a training match and not even the main Olympics game yet they are already this excited.Thinking of the fact that he had lost in training matches subsequently ever since Jed joined the team made his face distort with annoyance.But he has constantly chosen to be in the opposing football team against Jed to prove he was better than the bastard. Yet, every single time he lost! He was sure even these bitches on the stands that used to yell his name before don't even remember his existence anymore."What are we going t
"Okay, thank you for calling," Ian smiled after a few minutes. "We'll be anticipating your physical appearance to finalize the collaboration."Then he exchanged a few more words of pleasantries and ended the call. "Irwin, I have never witnessed this type of change even when I was controlling a business," He professed."That was Ceo Mark, Zen tech. He proposed a collaboration with us. I perceive a bright future for Meta Inc."Irwin was stunned. Zen tech was one of the leading companies not just in Philadelphia but the whole of the USA! This is coming barely some hours after they released the beta app."Who was that?" Ian remembered why Irwin had come to him in the first place."Oh, that's just another one of those investors calling to propose a cooperation. Boss, I can't count the amount of calls I have gotten from investors today," Irwin sighed proudly.Even when his former boss, Jordan was in charge, Meta never experienced this. Those investors that deserted and blacklisted them dur
*Cough* *Cough*He almost choked. Liana had to stretch out another bottle of water. "Are you okay?"He drank out of the water and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." He kept his phone away and she looked at him weirdly, having a hunch he was lying and it had something to do with his phone but she didn't probe.It wasn't her place to ask. Jed didn't notice this because he was too busy observing the beautiful hues in her eyes.As if in a trance, he suddenly asked,"Liana... Would you like to come over for dinner sometime? My place."Liana arched her brow. She definitely wasn't expecting that. He looked into her eyes and nervously tried to explain."I don't mean any harm. You just hangout as friends. Besides, my friends will be around so you don't have to worry about me doing anything to you."She laughed,"Who mentioned something about you doing anything to me?" The way she emphasized the words made Jed's ears glow bright pink in embarrassment.Maybe he should not have added that part. He didn't ta
Jed sat up slightly. International stock trade center? He thought of the astronomical figures lying on his stock dashboard and wondered if that was the reason he was being called.Nevertheless, he creased his brows thoughtfully and answered, "Yes. How may I help?""Mr J.J, we are glad to inform you that due to your last successful progress in the past stock trade, you have earned a VIP invite to this year's N.S.C." Although the woman on the other side sounded cold, her voice had a hint of admiration for this unknown trader... Yes, unknown trader. This is because of the anonymity traders pledge upon signing up on the trading platform. So only higher-ups have access to the personal and real bio-data of the traders. But she still admired this trader that's progressed so much in the stock market in just a month and some days.Even his trade history records very minimal loss compared to others. Asides that, he has taken over the first position of the best Newcomer in the stock board ov
"What's the situation, attorney?" Jack and his mother stood up where they had been sitting at the waiting area as soon as their attorney reappeared from the IG's office."It's the same Mr Jetti," The attorney shook his head regretfully. "He won't be granted bail. This case is out of their hands as it will be presented at the state's court."The severity of the situation dawned on them. Anna suddenly aged and didn't look as sophisticated as she used to appear on televisions. Jack already had this weird stubble that wasn't on his face before which distinguished him from his usual prim look. He had sleep bags around his eyes too."Attorney, you should make them understand that if it's money they want or anything, it's available," He tried to say something but the attorney shook his head."Mr Jetti, trust me, I tried but I'm afraid if I persist on this, the punishment your brother is supposed to receive will increase.""Shut up!" Anna went berserk. "What punishment? My son is innocent. H
Jed halted his steps and frowned. His sign of displeasure at his arrival annoyed Owen but he knew better after all that happened."The Professors want to see you."Jed's brows creased. Why? But Owen didn't seem like he had the answer to that because he was just silently staring at Jed wondering what qualifications he had to be called to the professors office so easily like he was going to a lounge.What qualification did he have to have a professor like Prof. Shawn as his mentor?Even he, the head of class, could only settle for a lecturer as his mentor.Jed heard all these but he didn't address it. He just nodded at Ben and Eric as if to inform them that he would be back soon before walking away briskly.Owen was left hurrying after him awkwardly."Jed didn't look too good. Do you think he's falling under the weather?" Ben raised his brows at Eric's idiomatic expressions. He simply shook his head. "After class, we'll head over to the infirmary to know what is wrong exactly but now
