The car didn't stop until it was driven into the underground park of Palatial Suite. Jeff was nervous and didn't speak throughout but the man who came to pick him up didn't stop speaking. He kept talking about himself but actually forgot to mention his name.
"We are here!"Jeff stared nervously at the exquisite underground park when he got out of the car. He still didn't understand what was going on but this man whose name he didn't know explained some things when Jeff asked if his so-called family was richer than the Hemsworth."Yes, your family is richer."The man's answer was short but it eased Jeff's mind a little."Ah! I forgot to mention my name to you. I'm Christian by name but you can call me Chris.""Oh okay, Chris" Jeff answered and couldn't help being nervous.Chris escorted him into the Palatial Suite, one of the most expensive in the city.In fact, Jeff had been here before years ago. It was Edward's fourteenth birthday then and a banquet was held here. When Jeff got here that day, he was sent back because the clothes he wore were too shabby.Recalling all his past experiences, Jeff felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He was too easy to control and bully but he didn't mind it.However, he realized a lot of things when he was suddenly called a fake son in front of the people who attended his birthday banquet. They made him look like a loser in front of Tonia, his fiancée, and even made it clear that someone like him didn't deserve her.He was a fool for relenting on them too much."Young Master, we are here" Chris's voice jerked him out of his thoughts.He still wasn't used to 'Young Master'. So he politely told Chris to call him by his name."Okay! Young Master Jeff!" Chris teased."Just Jeff is okay" Jeff smiled awkwardly.They were in front of a door in the VVIP section.Chris knocked on the door before pushing the door open."We are here, Old Master Malfoy" Chris bowed his head when they entered.An Old Man was seated in one of the arranged chairs in the room. His gloomy eyes lit up when he saw Jeff and he stood up from his chair."Is that you, Jeff? You look so much like your Father" The Old man's wrinkled face was full of joy."I'm Jeff, sir" Jeff replied maladroitly, a fake and nervous smile on his lips."Silly, just call me Grandfather!" Old Master Malfoy pushed Jeff to sit before turning to Chris who was grinning ear to ear. "Why didn't you take Jeff to get a change of clothes? Those Hemsworth family didn't take good care of my grandson."After reprimanding Chris for a minute, Old Master asked if Jeff was hungry.Jeff was really hungry, he didn't eat throughout yesterday, and today. He didn't even have time to think about food. His stomach tingled lightly at the mention of food and he nodded his head.In less than two minutes, the room was filled with the aroma of different delicacies. Jeff ate to the fullest but didn't forget his etiquette.He lived as a fake young master of the Hemsworth family for over Fifteen years, it would be quite depressing if he forgot all the etiquette lessons he took."Thank you so much" Jeff expressed his gratitude.The room was silent after Jeff finished eating. He raised his head to look at the Old Master and he caught sight of him looking at him with guilt."Old Master" Jeff decided to call the Old Man this till he resolved the curiosity in his heart. "Are you really my family? If yes, why didn't you look for me after all these years? I just celebrated my 19th birthday but didn't know I had a grandpa or a Father."Jeff made sure he didn't sound pitiful, no, he wanted to know the reason why he had to live in that hell of a house for so many years when he had a family who had a limited expensive car."Jeff" The old man called, his eyes solemn. "Your Father and Mother had a relationship in the past but it ended quite tragically. Your Mother didn't inform anyone that she was pregnant but ever since she left your Father, we've not heard of her. It seems that she also had a relationship with the first son of Mrs. Hemsworth. Your Mother actually told the first son that the baby was his and when she gave birth to you, she dropped you in the Hemsworth's mansion and never came back."Old Lady Hemsworth was a willy individual and wasn't happy when a baby was brought into the family. So she went behind his son's back and did a DNA test. The test confirmed that young Jeff was not part of their family."Your Father found out about this and didn't hesitate to get you back. Don't feel like an outsider but if you are still unsure, a test can be run" Old Master added.Jeff stared blankly and for a moment, he seemed to remember something. He once heard Edward's Father who was also Old Lady‘s first son discussing something with his wife, Edward's Mother. The discussion led to an argument.However, Jeff could still recall the words spoken by Edward's Mother that day."You had an affair with Rebecca when we were already engaged. I didn't blame you then, but now my son has to put up with someone else's son? Do something and act like a real father, Emmanuel Hemsworth!Those were the words spoken by Edward's Mother that day. Jeff didn't know it had something to do with him then."What is my Mother's name?" Jeff asked the Old Man who looked surprised by his question."Rebecca, her name is Rebecca Carter" The Old Master replied.No wonder Edward's Father was more nice to him than the other family members, Jeff thought. He didn't know he had a Mother because no one mentioned it to him. They only told him he was taken in by them when he was abandoned.Jeff didn't say much after the Old Master's reply. The heavens took pity on him when he was in a vulnerable position, he wouldn't ruin himself by being hardheaded.Old Master Malfoy told him many things and asked so many questions from him.When it was four in the evening, Chris drove them to the Old Master's Villa in Arty City.Apparently, the old man was in Arty City for a vacation. All the other family members inhabited the capital city of New Zinland, Starry City.Jeff didn't have any problem after discussing with the Old Man for a day. Dinner was served early and when he was being escorted to his room by Chris, his phone lit up.Jeff's blank eyes lit up in surprise and for a minute, he thought he was dreaming.It was a message from his fiancée.Tonia: Hi, Jeff. I heard you left the Hemsworth family. If you are still in Arty City, can we meet up?Jeff typed back, ignoring Chris who looked surprised. He didn't know the young master had someone he liked.Jeff: Yes, send me the address. I will come and meet you.Some seconds later, Tonia sent the address.Jeff was so happy, he could feel his tense heart beating dramatically. He couldn't believe Tonia messaged him first.It has never happened before."Chris, can you please take me to this address? I want to see a friend."Thirty minutes later, Jeff entered the classy bar. He could hear the soft music playing and the scent of alcohol wafted his nose. He glanced around looking for Tonia but shockingly, his eyes met with a pair of annoying brown eyes.The brown eyes were too familiar.Jeff couldn't be more surprised when he saw Edward in the bar. He shifted his gaze to the Lady on Edward's lap.Wavy brown hair and cute appearance... It was his fiancée, Tonia.Jeff stood rooted to his spot, feeling foolish for falling into Edward's trap again. Before he could move, he saw Edward pull Tonia forward before the latter took the initiative to start a French kiss. They kissed for over two minutes while Jeff stood still, watching them with his blood boiling with anger.He dashed towards them and grabbed Edward's collar while pushing Tonia off him."You jerk!""Je... Jeff" Tonia said crookedly, blinking her eyes repeatedly to confirm the scene in front of her. Realizing the situation, she got in between them. "Leave him alone! Don't touch my boyfriend" She said decisively, her eyes glaring at Jeff maliciously.Jeff let go of Edward and his body went limp immediately."We've been dating for a while now, brother. She doesn't have feelings for a fake son with no future" Edward said coyly, straightening his rumpled shirt. He faced Tonia and said, "Tell him what he's to you."Letting down a deep breath, Tonia's eyes turned cold as her eyes met with Jeff's eyes."I've never loved you and our engagement agreement was solely because of your own selfish reasons. I'm not engaged to you anymore and my family agrees to this since you don't are not even a Hemsworth."Each of her words ground out, hitting right at Jeff's heart. The words pierced his heart and it became impossible to cry.The tears didn't come.He turned around and left the bar with determination flashing across his face. Edward really went far this time and he's going to give him a taste of his own medicine.Edward was weak since birth and was diagnosed with an illness that required a blood transfusion every three months when he was eleven years old. At that time, Old Lady Hemsworth wanted to send twelve years old Jeff to the orphanage.However, she couldn't send him away because Edward's doctor found a use for him(Jeff).For over eight years, Jeff donated blood to Edward. When he was eighteen, he gave up going to college to help cure Edward's illness while Edward was studying music at home from an online teacher.Even though Edward didn't attend high school frequently because of his illness, Old Lady Hemsworth and his parents hired so many professional teachers to tutor Edward daily while the latter was also taking online music classes.Edward took music classes for two years and Jeff had nothing to do than to listen to the Old Lady. Recalling his pitiful experiences in the Hemsworth's house, Jeff couldn't sleep at all. When he finally closed his eyes, it was three in the morning.He w
The Hemsworth Family are also invited to the Greenfield's banquet. The Qin family might be a low-key family, however, their impact on the business world is quite big. Befriending them won't be a bad thing. Grandmother Hemsworth, Edward's Mother(Rachael), Edward, and the old Lady last child, Emilia decided to represent the Xie family today. Dressed in outfits that say nothing but elegance and luxury, the Hemsworth family arrived at the Greenfield mansion. They brought two cars with them: Grandmother Hemsworth and Emilia used one while Edward's Mother and Edward used the other car. As they got out of the car, Jeff's cab arrived at the same time. Edward was the first to notice Jeff and was instantly surprised to see him. However, being that tricky boy, he composed himself and put on his façade. He ran towards Jeff, hugging him tightly like a spoilt brat. "Brother! I missed you so much" Edward hugged Jeff tightly, shedding crocodile tears. The other Hemsworth members stared in awe,
After Jeff entered the Greenfield Mansion, it took the Hemsworth members some minutes before regaining their composure. "That jerk" Rachael grits her teeth angrily. She glanced at the Old Woman, anger riling up inside her. "That boy needs a lesson. See how he insulted you, Mother.""Let's go inside! He's trying to ruin our moods and cause damage to our family, we must not allow him" Emilia said, holding the Old Woman's hand. She led her inside, signaling at Rachael. Emilia wants Rachael to stop being angry since they are in the Greenfield's Mansion today.Just as they entered the the grand hall, they saw Jeff with the only son of the Greenfield family. An indescribable feeling arose in Rachael's chest and she glared at Jeff with hatred. The fake son is trying to curry favor with the only son of the Greenfield family."That bastard surely knows the way to rise up. He's gradually showing his claws" Rachael said through gritted teeth.She had always disliked this boy but suppressed th
"Don't act on your own next time. The Scavo family's young miss is very skilled at making people's days miserable." Granny Hemsworth pouts fiercely and settles into the couch. "Do not greet him again when you see him; we have lost enough face today. He's no longer part of us."With tears in his eyes, Edward twiddled his fingers.This is probably the first time his Grandmother would scold him and it's all because of himself.He ought to have studied that bastard before speaking, and he ought to have been more cautious before he spoke.Edward apologizes, sniffing, "I am sorry, Grandmother."Rachael couldn't bear to see her son crying because of that ungrateful kid, so she stepped in."Mom, please stop berating Edward in this manner," she uttered. "There is still the entrance exam to prepare for."Grandmother Hemsworth couldn't say a word after hearing Rachael's words. She holds Edward in high regard. After all, he had been extensively trained since childhood."Ah, I am not reprimanding y
Some weeks later, Jeff was getting ready for the Entrance exam. He has never been so serious in his life as he is now. His grandfather has been so good to him and Jeff being the grateful type, promised to do well. And thus, it was the exam day.The day came and went. And for the first time since he left the Hemsworth family, he felt a sense of accomplishment.While waiting for the results, he met with Liam to discuss the basketball tournament. Jeff is aware that passing this entrance exam does not ensure him a spot at All Stars University; rather, it only determines certain things.He still needs to get ready for the All Stars University entrance exam after the exam results are released."Success is not easy," Jeff whispered to himself as he sipped from the water bottle Liam had offered."Don't worry. All Stars University is not the best school in Starry; there are some better schools. Some schools are not even far from there," Liam assured him.Jeff's potential to attend All Stars Un
Jeff had grown up knowing Edward's group of friends and how they all played the part of nice kids.Before he made friends with Trent and the others, Edward was not really a facade master, but he soon turned into a very evil person.When he was younger, Edward was an avid basketball player as well, but he gave up after receiving the illness diagnosis. However, it appears that he re-joined them after taking the college admission exam. "Do you think we can defeat them?" Following the departure of Edward and his team, the haughty teammate who had insulted Jeff inquired. Jason is his name. "Sparrow team isn't a joke.""Question your ability," Jeff said, turning to Liam who was discussing something with Jamie. "Guys, let us head home." ~The D-Day~'The Championship round' was going to start in thirty minutes.Jeff dared not undervalue the Sparrow team—not even Edward. The Sparrow squad is not too bad, he had seen them play multiple times.They are really excellent, in fact.Although Jeff
Tonia clenched her jaw, questioning why she had made herself look foolish. Even if Jeff won against Edward, it still doesn't change the fact that his family are farmers. How could he, the son of a farmer, humiliate her in front of his friends? Apart from being embarrassed, Tonia felt humiliated. She was astounded that Jeff, who is incredibly infatuated with her, would forget her so fast and even have female friends. How dare he? Ever since she told her parents about her relationship with Edward, something has not been quite right. Her Father reprimanded her while her mother supported her relationship. Her father reprimanded her because he expected Tonia to date from a family larger than the Hemsworth family, not because he felt bad for Jeff.A few years ago, Tonia nearly drowned in a swimming pool accident, but Jeff saved her and briefly fell in love with her. Tonia also fell in love with Jeff because he was attractive, but as she grew older, she came to the realization that eve
On the hospital bed, Jeff scrolled through his Instagram, searching for a username. However, he couldn't find the person he was looking for. With a strained gaze, he looked at his bandaged ankle, wondering what pushed the referee to do that. Fortunately for him, he only sprained his ankle and didn't get any injuries. It could be a different story now if he had not moved at that time."You are pressing your phone despite nearly passing away? "You are ridiculous," Liam said, snatching the phone out of his grasp. "Thankfully, it was only a sprain.""Please return my phone to me, Liam," Jeff uttered. Liam angrily said, "No. The doctor said you will be fine in two days, so your leg should be fine.""Two days? I won't be able to walk for two days!" Jamie entered the room just as they were arguing, concern shining in her eyes. She paused at the door, breathing heavily and feeling her chest rise. "Jamie" Liam called, shocked to see his cousin looking disheveled with tears in her eyes. "A
