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 woke up at eleven and rubbed his eyes before getting out of bed."Urrgh" he groaned as he stretched his body.Jeff froze when yesterday's memories appeared like a match connecting fire to fire."Edward" he gritted his teeth. "That jerk."When it was half past eleven, he walked out of his room."Young Master!"He heard Chris's voice as he approached the roomy living room.His grandfather sat on one of the sofas, reading a newspaper. When he heard Chris call Jeff, he raised his head and smiled at Jeff."Jeff! You woke up so late! Chris told me your girlfriend broke up with you and that's why you woke up late" The Old Man looked concerned.Jeff shifted his gaze, giving Chris a cold glare as he approached Old Master Malfoy."It's no problem... We just had an argument" Jeff smiled."He's lying, Old Master Malfoy! The girl cheated on him" Chris raised his voice. "And the girl was defending the other guy!""Is that true, Jeff?" Old Master Malfoy furrowed his brows, staring at Jeff suspiciously. "It doesn't even matter. There are many beautiful and noble ladies. Grandpa will set you up when we get back to Starry City."Jeff laughed and nodded.Breakfast was prepared for him by the home keeper and when he finished eating, his Grandpa called him."What are your plans for the future? I heard that your grades are quite bad but you don't have to worry. Why didn't you go to College? You are nineteen years old now" The Old Man expressed with concern.He had asked Chris to find out about Jeff. Not knowing why Jeff didn't go to college years ago, he decided to ask him."They didn't want me to go" Jeff answered honestly. "The College Entrance Exam is in two months, I can register."Old Master Malfoy was really concerned about his bad grades but he still nodded and asked him if he had any University in mind."All Stars University in Starry City" Jeff replied.The Old Man widened his eyes in shock, wondering if his grandson knew what he was saying."All Stars University? Ah, Jeff, why don't you consider another university? To enter a good university like All Stars University, your grades must be good. I'm not concerned if you have bad grades but you can choose another university" Old Master Malfoy explains, his eyes solemn.All Stars University is one of the best universities in the country, known for nurturing some of the pillars of the country. To enter such a university, you must be intelligent and brilliant."I've chosen All Stars, Grandpa," Jeff says calmly. "I will work on my studies. I will pass the College entrance exam!"Of course, his Grandpa was still worried. Before Jeff was brought to him, he had requested details about him and what he found didn't please him at all.However, he didn't care, he was just happy, that his grandson was safe and sound.The same week, Jeff started going to an academy for College Entrance Exam retakers. He really wasn't joking when he said he was going to pass the Entrance Exam. He registered for the Exam the same week, determination flashing in his eyes.During weekends, he goes to the library to study and comes back late in the evening.Even Old Master Malfoy was starting to get worried. He doesn't see much of his grandson and when he does, Jeff is either reading his books or taking care of the little garden in the Villa.A month before the Exam, Jeff was scrolling through his phone when he saw a message sent to him by his former high school classmate, Liam.He frowned lightly before tapping on the message.Liam: Hello. Long time no see friend. It's okay, even if you refuse to message me. But I have something to tell you... Something that will bring money. I heard what happened...Back in high school, Liam was the class president of Jeff's class. They talked for a while but after Liam gained admission into All Stars University, they stopped talking.However, it's not only because of that.Liam is from the Greenfield family, one of the prominent families in Arty City.The Greenfield family is also on the same level as the Hemsworth family but not that popular. The Hemsworth family is known for throwing lavish parties while the Greenfield family is the type of low-key family.Edward was so mad when he found out that Liam befriended Jeff. With his tricks, he also got close to Liam while badmouthing Jeff.Jeff found out after Liam left for the University. When Liam stopped talking to him, Jeff really didn't care because they didn't spend so much time together, anyway.Jeff: Something that will bring money? I think I'm interested in this. Long time no see.In less than a minute, Liam replied.Liam: Let's meet then. My Mother is celebrating her birthday tonight, would you please come? I promise to tell you.Jeff didn't reply, he called him directly.During the time the two boys were friends, Jeff knows a thing or two about Liam. Liam won't just tell him to come to his Mother's birthday banquet if there isn't something going on.After a few rings, Liam picked up the call."What do you want to say?" Jeff said instantly. "We are not that close and you are asking me to come to your mother's birthday banquet, tell me something that will bring money?""What do you mean we are not that close? Liam's nervous voice came through the phone. "Aren't we friends in high school?""Friends? You are back for holiday from the university while I'm still here lazing around" Jeff replied. "I'm sure Edward would be mad if he found out that you are talking to me.""Don't even mention that bastard name" Liam retorts angrily. "We stopped talking months ago. And I saw what happened at the bar that day. Actually, I've always wanted to call you but I just don't have the courage after what happened. I'm really sorry... That jerk doesn't even deserve to be... Well, I'm just sorry."Jeff listened to the boy intently and they spoke for a while. He agreed to come to the birthday party. Liam had apologized after all.The birthday banquet was scheduled for five in the evening. When it was exactly five, Jeff took a cab to the Greenfield's house.Just as he stepped out of the cab, he felt the hair on his body stood up vigilantly. He paid the driver and just as he turned his gaze to the entrance of the big house.He saw the people he hated most, glaring at him with surprised eyes. Before he could move an inch, Edward ran towards him."Brother! I'm so happy to see you!"Jeff instantly knew that things were going to end badly today.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
Meanwhile, Jeff was welcomed by Old Master Malfoy when he got home. The sight of Jeff's bandaged foot worried the old man. "I injured myself when I was playing basketball," Jeff told the Old man. However, Jeff didn't tell him he was almost hit by a car sent to kill him. Before Old Master Malfoy could reply, Jeff noticed someone behind the Old Man. Two people, a man and a woman, and a young guy about his age."Grandpa, who...""You call him Grandfather? How dare you!" With bulging angry eyes, the young man snapped. "Who do you think you are? Do you really believe that just because Grandpa said so, you can call yourself members of our family?" "Ethan!" The Man yelled. "Stop this. Return to the room.I will do that. With a snakelike hiss, Ethan stomped off, saying, "I might as well return to Starry City instead of coming to a place like this."Jeff blinked his eyes, trying to process what was going on. He shifted his gaze to the Old Man who only let down a breath."Jeff" The Old Man c
