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

    "Sir," the Uber driver cried out tearfully. His eyes widened with fear. He was looking at the rear view mirror.Jed groaned slightly and caressed his forehead which had a slight bump. He looked up just in time to see a mini truck headed right for them.It was at full speed rushing towards them with the aim of crashing into them.Jed didn't know where the strength came from but he stood slightly crooked and grabbed the gear.Vroom!The car jerked back to life and at the last minute, Jed swerved the steering wheel and the car got out of the way, missing the truck narrowly.Bang!It still got hit and the occupants of the car jolted forward again."Sir," The Uber driver was in shock. He couldn't even react."Get out of the car," Jed reached out with great difficulty and quickly tried to remove his seat belt. He could see the truck was reversing obviously to hit them again since it failed."Sir... Why?" The driver wanted to say something but Jed pushed him. He managed to open the car door a

The pain was unbearable.Jed had no mercy and twisted the man's hand ruthlessly, dislocating his shoulder.He let go and the truck driver fell to the ground, holding his limp hand while crying in pain.The Uber driver stared at Jed with a look of amazement. He couldn't react because he was so shocked. This boy... He clearly saw the car completely ruined by the truck now. Yet, the boy was standing right in front of him, unscathed. Not even a single stain on his clothes.Not to mention, he has just taken up a man twice his size. This kid was amazing!"Ha! Please let me go. Ha!"

    At The Jetti's Headquarters"What sort of behavior is this?" One shareholder slammed his palm on the glass table. "How could the chairman delay us like this for someone we do not even know about?""Yes, we have been waiting for more than an hour. Where is the so-called new member we are supposed to meet?"One even pointed at the chairman's personal assistant, Erin. "Hey you! Go and tell the chairman that if he cannot handle the company affairs like a man he is, I will withdraw from this company!"The shareholders have been waiting for long after gathering for an impromptu meeting that was organized to introduce a new member into the company.Originally, they were dissatisfied. The chairman was supposed to look for a solution for their current crisis yet he was there adding a new member to the company.Why did he even have to gather all the shareholders for that?Now, the chairman and the new member are nowhere to be seen and it's been more than an hour now!

    Jed swept his gaze around the room for the second time. He saw that some shareholders still had looks of doubt on them.They obviously couldn't accept that the college boy standing in front of them was the new owner of Meta Inc. After the lawsuit between Jetti's Inc and Meta Inc, the former has had to pay a huge fine and even took down the software that was generating a lot of revenue for them.To cut the long story short, as if the huge amount of fine paid wasn't enough, the company's stocks began to drop drastically. Yes, it wasn't enough to ruin Jetti's empire or make them bankrupt but within a couple of weeks, they have lost significant billions of dollars!How could the shareholders not be worried? There were even rumors that companies that used to clamor to partner with Jetti's in the past were all rushing to Meta now as that was the new thriving business.Even shareholders from Jetti's were secretly sowing money into the new project of Meta's.

    The shareholders all shrugged at each other. This was a golden opportunity, signing a cooperation with Jed so how could they object?"Since there are no objections, I announce a successful cooperation with—""I have objections."The conference room fell silent. All eyes turned to Jed. Alan was puzzled. He already fulfilled his own part of the deal so what could the objections be now?"Father, when you came to me to help your business, I seem to have remembered we talked about inheritance not cooperation," Jed folded his hands on the table.Alan smiled awkwardly seeing the shareholders look at him accusingly. He had truly mentioned that Jed was going to inherit his company but the cooperation with Meta inc...That was all his assumption. He just thought since his son was the owner of Meta, the cooperation was only natural.Merging the two companies together was one of Alan's biggest dreams even when Jordan was still in charge."What are you saying son? Of course, I said you were going

    The next day, the boys could see something was bothering Eric because he was distracted in class all day and also made quite a lot of unreasonable mistakes.Finally when they had a break, Ben grabbed his shoulders. "Tell me. What's your problem?""Huh?" Eric looked oblivious. "What do you mean?"Jed looked up from his mobile phone. "You have been distracted all day. You committed a lot of illogical mistakes."He looked back at his phone and continued, "Dude, you almost got sent out of class several times and you are still asking us what we mean. We should be asking you that.""Fine," Ben sighed and the hand clasping his backpack tightened. "You remember the game tournament I mentioned some time ago.""The one that's supposed to happen in Dubai?" Ben didn't easily forget things and could remember when Eric had mentioned the tournament to them."Yes.""What about it?" Jed paused and looked up again. His eyes narrowed suspiciously.Eric ruffled his hair nervously and spilled it out. "Wel

    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.

    "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!'
