"Ah," Irwin groaned slightly as he lifted his palm to touch the warm liquid escaping from his forehead.

He didn't realize his seatbelt wasn't placed well until the car came to an abrupt stop so he bashed his head against the dashboard.

"What's wrong with you? Is this how you drive?" Jed lost his temper and hurriedly passed some tissues forward for Irwin to use in minimizing the blood flow.

The chauffeur was newly employed so Jed wasn't familiar with his skills yet.

"Boss, I'm sorry," The wrongly accused chauffeur apologized in a nervous tone. "But, these people—"

Jed finally realized something was wrong. His gaze fell on the cars that had obstructed the path and the armed men standing in front of them.

One was currently walking in their direction. Jed's eyes grew cold. He didn't want to waste any time with these goons when he had a more important occasion to attend.

That annoying heir of the Powell's family wouldn't let him rest if he makes a late entrance to the birthday party.

    Jed chuckled throatily. He drained the second cup of champagne and raised it at Drake. "Cheers."A servant passing by collected the empty cup. "Mr Jetti!" A well-known tech magnate who walked up to Jed and Drake."Good evening Mr Powell," He greeted Drake politely but his eyes were on Jed. He stretched out a palm for a handshake."Congratulations on your latest feat, Mr Jetti."Jed humbly accepted the handshake and he was soon whisked away. Drake's expression didn't look good as he watched several CEOs surround Jed.He stepped aside and called someone. "Check the current stats of the board and report back to me."He was feeling so uneasy as he waited for a response. He doesn't understand what Jed was driving at earlier but he knows it isn't something good."Sir," The recipient of his call finally spoke up. "This is not good."Drake's expression darkened. "What's wrong?""Sir, I have sent the current stats to your mail. Check it out." The call was then ended in a hurry as the person fe

Young master Jetti won't come to my mother's party without a gift. Besides, he is our specially invited guest so show some respect."After Mr Powell spoke, people didn't dare murmur so loudly anymore but they had already been stirred by Drake Powell so how could they back down?"Grandma, here, I got this for you," A young man stepped forward with his family.A servant was carrying a basket that contained jewelry that spilled out as soon as she dropped the basket.What actually caught people's attention was the beautiful pink stone among the jewelry.Isn't that one of the most expensive rings in the world?

    Ben snuck upstairs when he saw that people were distracted with giving their gifts to the old madam.Even Lily had asked him to accompany her to her room earlier to get her own gift but because he was suspicious she might try something funny, he refused.He told her he would just wait for her to get back with the gifts and then they could go together to the old madam.Lily readily agreed because she thought appearing together in front of the old madam will surely give away some hint and Ben won't be able to back out.He got to the first floor successfully unaware his mother had begun to seek his whereabouts as she wanted him to accompany her to pay respects to the old madam.Ben opened the rooms one after the other but aside from staring at beautiful interior designs, there was no one else in there.He was almost losing hope when he opened the last room at the far end of the hall.There she was, sitting gracefully on a stool as her beautiful fingers brushed softly against the surface

    "Here, grandma, this is for you," Mrs Palmer walked forward with an embarrassed look while Ben carried the gift.As soon as they presented it, he greeted the old woman, "Wishing you a long life grandma."Madam Powell was pleased because she pulled him in for a hug. "You have grown so well. I suspect we'd be preparing for a wedding very soon."Everyone besides Mrs Palmer and Ben burst into laughter.Thinking of this, Mrs Powell suddenly looked around. "Has anyone seen Lily? She hasn't presented her gift to her grandma yet and that's weird."Ben looked down at his mother who had a disapproving expression on her face.To avoid an embarrassing face-off later, she stepped forward and into the old madam. "Grandma, Ben and I have to leave now. My father is all alone at home and it's getting late.""I understand my child. Go on and extend my greetings to that old man.""Let me just get Lily and we can see you off," Mrs Powell added but Mrs Palmer suddenly shook her head."No need. Lily probabl

    "Ben, what has gotten into you?" Mrs Palmer was dumbfounded. "Lily is the one you are going to marry, not that nameless orphan.""Don't you understand? She's a fake. If it wasn't because of the Powell's, she wouldn't have a last name. Is that the person you want as a wife?""Yes!" Ben released her hand gently."Lily is only someone you have decided for me to marry like you always do. You decide my life and coerce grandfather to support you knowing fully well I can't go against him.""Mom, I have been filial and obedient to you two for years. If you don't let me make decisions on my own now, you never will. I'll return to the barracks and never show up here.""Ben," His mother panicked as he zipped up the box. "Do you know the trouble you have caused for Estelle tonight? Are you going to leave her?"Ben scoffed. "Mom, you really haven't changed. You switched sides quickly and started to blackmail me with her. I'll take her along with me if she agrees to come. Even if she doesn't, I'll s

    "Humph!" Liana snorted. "Don't think because you said sorry, I'll forgive you. I won't. I also know how to be angry.""Although I have some scores to settle with Eric, that's for another day. I don't understand why you had to take out the anger on me and ignore me... Let go."She struggled but Jed held her firmly, relishing the pleasure that came from leaning into her soft bosoms."There's a fork in my hand," She warned with a darkened look.Jed finally looked up, into her sharp gaze but didn't let go. "Do you know the issues with the tender that's caused us to work overtime is all because of Cullen?"Liana forgot to act angry in her shock. "He's back?"Jed smiled secretly at her reaction. At least, her anger subsided but to keep up his act, he put on a slightly pitiful expression."Yes... After all these years, I didn't expect we had to meet in this condition... He hasn't let go of his competitive demeanor."Liana could almost feel his sadness as he continued,"I won the tender bid o

You are not allowed to see her!""She's an adult and you don't have the right to control her," Ben flared up. This only angered Mrs Powell."We are her parents and we have the right to decide who she gets to see or not. Because of the last respect I have for your grandfather, I am not asking the guards to throw you out now so leave."Ben ignored her and walked to Mr Powell. "Uncle, why don't you let me see Estelle just once? I—"Mr Powell sighed and shook his head. Although, since they adopted Estelle, he never treated her wrongly nor did he give her any preferential treatment.Ben's actions tonight have caused Estelle a lot of trouble but he didn't interfere because this also concerned his own biological daughter.He couldn't just ignore Lily's predicament, he overlooked his wife's brutal actions tonight.

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

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.

    "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?

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.

    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!'
