Finally, the wild Desker Rally race took place. On the famous “Hellish Green” track, the sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly without a cloud in sight. The grandstands were packed, and the cheers and support from thousands of spectators created a passionate and exhilarating atmosphere. The air was filled with the roar of powerful engines and the whine of speeding cars.The racing supercars, with their supermodel designs and high-powered engines, stood ready at the starting line. The race began with the sound of the starting gun, drivers revving their engines, gripping the steering wheels tightly as the headlights shone brightly. The cars started speeding up, their wheels spinning fiercely, creating a perfect sense of the race’s commencement.Speed increased rapidly, and the competition grew more intense. The racers with talent expertly maneuvered through challenging turns and straight sections to reach their top speeds. Each racing car was finely tuned for optimal performance,
Edward didn’t leave directly, but sat there for a while. He looked at the scene in front of him with an extremely calm expression, as if he had foreseen it. Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived at the scene. Jasper was loaded onto the ambulance in an unconscious state, covered in blood. If it weren’t for knowing that the person in the Rolls-Royce was Jasper, he definitely can not recognize this “bloodied” figure. Looking at the crumpled car lying there, along with the damaged iron railings, the Sherwood family was going to lose a considerable amount of money this time. Edward thought to himself. His purpose for today seemed to have been achieved.Edward returned home, and Hernan and Cipher still treated him with the same respect as usual.“Young master, you’re back.”Without responding to Hernan’s words, Edward went straight upstairs. As soon as he stepped into his room, he hastily rummaged through the closet, took out a worn-out polo shirt and a faded pair of jeans. Edward changed
Edward continued to feign ignorance, his tone filled with sorrow as he spoke. “What happened to Jasper? I really know nothing about it.”Mrs. Sherwood remained relentless, refusing to let him off the hook.“Keep your mouth shut. I don’t need your pity for my son, Jasper. Who do you think you are?” Mrs. Sherwood shouted. She absolutely did not allow Edward to discuss anything with her son, even if it was the most trivial matter.Before Mrs. Sherwood could finish, Emily also chimed in, showing no restraint as she gave Edward a slap on the ear. They didn’t even know what Edward had done wrong.“Shut up and stop talking about Jasper!” Edward didn’t avoid Emily’s ear slap. Yes, just like that. The more aggressive they were, the better his role as the victim would be. An ear slap meant nothing to him; he was looking forward to more. A few insults, along with some superficial wounds, meant nothing to him.Mr. Sherwood also looked at him with disdain, reproaching him, “Look at yourself, Edwar
Hearing the news that Jasper needed a blood donation, Mr. Sherwood couldn’t sit still any longer. His beloved son was struggling inside, and he couldn’t help but be anxious. Mr. Sherwood turned to his wife and said, “You stay here; I’ll go for the blood test immediately.”As Mr. Sherwood spoke, Mrs. Sherwood seemed to snap awake. She stood up in a panic and blocked her husband, shouting as if she were mad, “No, you can’t!”Mr. Sherwood didn’t understand why his wife was reacting this way. Their son was critically ill inside, and yet she was preventing him from getting a blood test to save him. Wasn’t that entirely illogical? He just wished he could donate blood to Jasper right away. He and Jasper were father and son, and it was highly likely that their blood types would be compatible. The blood test would just be a hassle and a waste of time.Right now, nothing was more important to him than saving their beloved son. However, Mrs. Sherwood’s reaction was completely opposite, and he co
Having walked for a while, Emily glanced around. Confirming that no one was there, she quickly turned in another direction, heading towards the examination room. Edward didn’t lag either. Judging from Emily’s expression, Edward easily guessed that she was extremely tense. He didn’t believe for a second that they had no secrets.Near the examination room, Edward spotted Mrs. Sherwood standing there. Indeed, her presence was understandable, since she was also there for a blood test to save Jasper.Edward was surprised to find her accompanied by security guards and two people in lab coats who appeared to be doctors. If it was simply a matter of waiting for test results, why were they there? Furthermore, these people were not present in front of the emergency room earlier.Clearly, Mrs. Sherwood had summoned them, but for what reason? Could it be for a shared blood test? It seemed highly unlikely. Mrs. Sherwood surely had something for them to do, a secret she absolutely couldn’t let Mr.
Leaving the hospital room and not going far, Mr. Beson proactively stopped. He turned to Edward and, with little ado, asked, “Do you have something to discuss with me?”Although it sounded like a question on the surface, in reality, it was more of a statement. Edward wouldn’t simply want to see him off. This young man was not that straightforward. Mr. Beson was quite certain that Edward was about to share some information that he couldn’t have expected.With Mrs. Goreng absent from the scene, Edward didn’t need to continue playing the role of an obedient and kind college student. He discarded the facade he had put on earlier and returned to being a cunning Edward.“Well, Mr. Beson, you seem quite perceptive today,” Edward chuckled, teasing Mr. Beson. To an outsider, they looked like two very close and affectionate relatives.Mr. Beson didn’t feel like responding to Edward’s jest; he simply grunted and remained silent. He was quite familiar with the innocent and naïve demeanor of the p
At around 8 o’clock in the evening, using the excuse of a busy class schedule, Edward bid farewell to his mother and quickly took a taxi back home. While in the taxi, he received a message from Mr. Beson containing McKay’s phone number.“Mr. Beson, if you always keep your promises like this, that would be fantastic,” Edward said with a hint of sarcasm. He wanted to convey this message to Mr. Beson, but no matter, he would use actions to “help” him fulfill that promise.Edward took out his phone from his coat pocket and dialed the numbers as provided in the message. After a few rings, he heard a voice on the other end.“Excuse me, who is this?” It was McKay’s voice.“It’s me, Edward. Do you remember me?” Edward replied.“Oh, it’s Young Master Edward. I didn’t expect you to contact me. Is there something you need?” McKay couldn’t help but express his surprise. He didn’t think Edward would get in touch with him, especially not this early. After all, having worked in this field for many y
In recent days, Edward attended school regularly while keeping a close eye on the Sherwood family’s next moves. On the other side, there had been no disturbances for the past two days. Seeing that he didn’t respond to text messages, Mrs. Sherwood didn’t bother him anymore.After school, Edward stopped by a supermarket to buy some milk to visit Mrs. Goreng. Seeing Mrs. Goreng’s health improving day by day, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. If things continued this way, Mrs. Goreng’s discharge from the hospital would likely be shortened. Lately, everything seemed to go smoothly for him, and everything was heading in the right direction.Around seven in the evening, Edward left the hospital and drove home. Sitting in the car with his hands on the steering wheel, as he was about to play some soft music, his phone suddenly rang with an unknown number. At first, he thought it might be a spam call or a call from the Sherwood family, possibly Mr. Sherwood himself, who might have gotten his
