To Jed's relief, Liana didn't say a word to him even when they got to her family's house. A place that practically looked like a palace and gave an insight of how wealthy Lord of Stocks must be.So Liana's background was this influential? No wonder no one could find out anything about her background back then at Elite High.'Can you afford her?' A weird thought suddenly pricked his mind causing him to be amused.When all the guests headed into the house, he noticed her observing his car as he handed the key over to the valet. She looked like she was taking note of the car's model. When she decided she had had enough and turned to leave, their eyes met.She gave him a knowing look and he smiled nervously. "I borrowed it from a friend," He cooked up a lie while making a mental note to reserve an Uber driver for later.If he were to drive the car back home, she would definitely know it was him.Liana didn't respond like what he said was unnecessary but she didn't look convinced either.
Everyone was asleep when Jed returned. He walked into his room quietly, discarded all his clothes and took a shower before heading to bed.Just when he got it in, he received a call. "Young master," Johnny sounded hesitant like he perhaps thought he might be disturbing his sleep but he didn't want to send a message again."Good evening, Mr Skye. It's quite late."He was relieved after hearing Jed's voice because it didn't sound like the latter was sleeping yet."Young master, I called regarding tomorrow's meeting. Which one of the two real estate brokers do you want to see first?"Jed sat up and took a small sticky notepad from the bedside stand to quickly do some calculations. He frowned when he saw what he solved."Mr Skye, I will get back to you. I'll send a message. It's late now. You should rest.""Alright. Goodnight young master. I'll be expecting your feedback."A tut-tut sound followed. 'Vendetta,' Jed called out, rubbing his face in frustration. 'Do I really have just twent
Zoey? Oh, so that's her name. In an instant, Jed looked uninterested. He gave her a glance and then returned his attention to his phone. This action of his embarrassed her especially with so many students watching but it didn't deter her.Just as the boys were about to take their seats at the front row instead of their usual center seats, she walked up to them, holding up a thermos flask and a smile that made her appear cute."Jed, I prepared breakfast for you. I wasn't sure what you like.""Aww!""How sweet!""She's so caring.""This boy has a lot of ego. He should just accept her already!""How many girls will cook for the boy they like? They will rather just order some delivery for him."Zoey blushed slightly. Well, she did order delivery. She's never been in the kitchen her entire life so even if she likes Jed so much, she won't risk her precious skin getting burnt in a bid to impress him.But she made sure to package the meal in a thermos well to make it appear like a homemade me
When Jed got to the Dean's office, the dean, Mr Thomas was proudly showing off a collection of trophies to Alan, who looked more frail than when Jed last saw him.The family Butler, Peter Manchester, was standing beside Alan. He didn't look too pleased at whatever the Dean was saying."Oh! Chairman Jetti, your son is here," Dean Thomas was the first one to notice Jed's arrival.The other two turned around and Alan's eyes shook discreetly in shock. He looked at the young lean and handsome boy that rested against the door with a dull but striking brown hair that stood out and felt he couldn't recognize his own son.The young man standing a few meters away from him, giving off a regal aura with an indifferent look that was completely unfamiliar to Alan made him wonder just how he changed this much.They only met one month or so ago and he was fat, ugly looking then but now?"Good afternoon, Dean sir," Jed greeted the dean and then cast a look at Alan. "I was told you wanted to see me."Pe
"Don't speak harshly to my clients," A young man, primly dressed in formal attire emerged from the hall and bit back at the officer in front of Anna.Seeing the attorney her brother had sent to her appear, Anna's eyes lit up and she rushed to him even before Jack could hold her back."John, how was it? Did you manage to speak with the boss in charge?"The attorney's brows furrowed slightly. He wanted to tell her, 'Madam, this matter is a bit difficult.' But he saw her physical state wasn't too stable so he swallowed his words."Madam, let your mind be at rest. I'll handle the situation. Let me speak to the boss once. Just ignore that lousy officer," He assured her and stepped away.As soon as he was out of reach, he called a number which was answered on the first ring."Hello boss... Yes, yes... I've managed to get the officer in charge but the matter is a bit difficult this time. His case has been taken out of state already and I'm afraid your nephew is done for."Meanwhile, "Mom!"
When Alan Jetti finally returned home, Anna and Jack welcomed him. No one even mentioned anything about the bad incidents that occurred in the family these past few days.Alan was even treated to a sumptuous meal. He felt a bit uncomfortable with the way they acted calm, especially his wife.Judging by Anna's hot temper, he expected her to fly into a rage and rant on how he denied them access to the company or to visit him at the hospital.But no one said a thing. Eventually, after the meal, he spoke, "Jack, meet me in the study room. I have something to say to you."Jack was surprised as he had also been thinking how to bring up the affairs of the company to his father. "Okay."As soon as his father left, he was too excited to leave so he quickly followed behind.Once the dining room was empty, Anna's appealing face displayed a cold smile. She quickly summoned the butler. "Yes madam. You called for me," Peter bowed slightly when he got to her."Tell me. What happened today? I didn'
"Noted," Jed nodded at Eric and swung the empty bottle in his hand into the trash can in a perfect shot. His phone was in one hand and a textbook in the other.He appeared to be chatting with someone. [Young master, something is baffling me. I went through a lot of stress to secure the appointments from the real estate brokers for Meta but you just canceled like that]He has barely had time to finish reading this when Johnny sent another message.[Even if you couldn't attend the appointments, Ian could have gone or are you perhaps not interested in taking over the real estate industry again?]Jed chuckled. He sat down on an armchair and folded his legs. His slender fingers danced on the phone screen.[Mr Skye, what do you think about taking over the entire Jetti's business instead of just the real estate industry?]Question marks appeared on Johnny's face when he received this message. He sat up on his large king size bed which was surprisingly empty.His old face wrinkled with confu
That was how Jed ended up at the largest education research institute in the country. He was led into a huge conference room where some dignified scholars were already waiting.Only one of the men had no grey hair. Others were old men who had served in the education ministry for years.They were veterans that have even been awarded the honor of organizing education seminars all over the world.They were also popular retired professors who came together, formed a union and wrote college textbooks with some disciples.It was no wonder why they were displeased at the fact that a mere college student had pointed out errors from books they wrote and had reviewed by the best editors."Good morning Masters," Jed bowed slightly to greet them after he was led to the front of the table where a large board was waiting for him.The representatives that had brought him from his college stood by the door, each worried the youngster might not be able to withstand the oppressive aura the professors w
