As he completed the last procedures of his cooperation with the Grador's Group, Duane sat in his modern office, the light from his computer screen softly illuminating his features. With a smile on his face, his fingers moved fluidly over the keyboard. This was it, the result of months of arduous labor and compromise. "Sir, something seems to be happening." When his assistant's voice broke through his reverie, Duane looked up and met his wide, terrified assistant's gaze. He could not quite pinpoint the source of the tension he felt in the air.Since Victor Grador gave his approval for their partnership, their stocks have been steadily rising, and happily, there has been no discussion about Jeff becoming the Malfoy Group heir.Even though Jeff was the driving force behind the collaboration, Duane continued to think that Jeff would not have given a damn about the Malfoy Group if he had not been forced.Since Jeff was not present to compare him to, he has been extremely happy these las
The Crowd in the stadium roared and cheered in unison as it was the last day of the competition between Marcus Cuomo,the second Hacker on the rank list and the rookie from All Stars University, Jeff Hemsworth.Reporters were all waiting outside the contestants way for Jeff. After the news about Rebecca Carter being the ex-fiancee of Duane Malfoy went viral, Jeff who was previously confirmed as the son of Duane received a lot of attention.They want to know if this young genius was really a Carter descendant.As Jeff was guided into the game room, his eyes landed on Professor Paul who looked sterner and angrier. However, Jeff's gaze only lasted for a few seconds before he made his way to the room. Since the publications' release, Professor Paul had been phoning Jeff's number nonstop, but Jeff had purposefully declined the calls in order to spend more time with Dave looking into the orphanage. Dave and Atlas had indeed been living in the orphanage when they were kids and more serious,
With a sardonic smile curling up on his lips, Marcus said, "Looks like our little Jeff stole someone else's model." Marcus observed something both familiar and different about Jeff's model before they even began to demonstrate their abilities after creating it. It looked too familiar that it struck up a memory. The model does not belong to Jeff at all. The game's rules state that cheating will result in elimination from the competition. Because Marcus was not sure, he informed one of his people who were also working in the software organization. The individual informed his other team as soon as he received the notification, and an investigation was carried out while the model was being tested. Following the match, in which Jeff emerged victorious, it was disclosed that Jeff had been excluded for engaging in dishonesty and utilizing an unlicensed model. "Anyone caught cheating would lose their chance to continue playing the game, per the rules. Jeff Hemsworth is found guilty of
In front of the large TV screen, the woman slowly wiped her tears as she stared at the boy who was being applauded on TV. The only source of light in the room was the light rays coming from the television screen. The woman shook beneath her garments, tears streaming down her face, even though she was covered in a cloth. “Are you shedding tears?” As she heard the voice, she wiped the tears off her face, her eyes turning cold like she was not the one crying some seconds ago. She got up to go into the other room after unwrapping herself from the blanket. “You remain as stubborn as a mule, even after years have passed. When will you come to the realization that there is no going back? I have already triumphed.” The man who had just arrived spoke coldly, his voice full of mockery and sarcasm. The woman stopped in her tracks, her trembling hands beside her. “Don't be too sure of yourself.” “Just tell me everything and hand over everything. I will let them go!” The man said, w
*Some minutes earlier*“Sir, the articles concerning Miss Rebecca Carter… I tracked down the individual. She is Jeff's friend, and I discovered she is Melissa's sister,” said the voice on the other end.Victor's brow furrowed, anger, curiosity, and confusion flashing across his face. “Who is Melissa?” he demanded.With a note of nervousness in his voice, the caller answered, “The girl we used for the Professor's video.” Victor's frown deepened. “Isn't she dead?”After a moment of hesitation, the caller said, “Sir, I believe something is wrong. These are not just random occurrences. Jeff knows everything.”Victor's grip on the phone tightened, his knuckles turning white. Implications whizzed through his mind. How could Jeff have known? And what did he know exactly? .“Send me more details,” Victor ordered, his voice cold and controlled.The caller swallowed audibly. “Yes, Sir. I'll get right on it.”After hanging up the phone, Victor stood for a while, gazing at his reflection in the
*Some Hours Ago*Jeff made his way through the grand corridors of the Carter mansion. He was unaffected even by the servants' murmurs and the lavish surroundings. “He reminds me a little bit of Miss Rebecca!” “Yes, that is the boy from the news! Poor boy, his Father betrayed his mother.”“He's really Miss Rebecca Son. I overheard Young Master Marcus becoming enraged over it.”Ignoring their words, Jeff was led into a vast study, its walls lined with ancient books and portraits of stern-faced Old Master Carter. He scheduled a direct appointment with the man who had been bothering him with emails for the past week after the competition.At the far end of the room sat the Old Master of the Carter Family, his presence demanding respect. Jeff sensed the intentions in the air, despite his enigmatic expression. With an expressionless face, Jeff sat down in front of the Old Master. He knew this meeting would be a turning point. The Old Master’s assistant, a slender man with a perpetuall
Four Months LaterLater on, it was found that Victor Grador had established the orphanage specifically so he could use the girls for his dubious videos. Before Victor's arrest, Jeff had gone searching for the mistreated girls and had even promised them he would bring their nightmare to an end, which he accomplished with the aid of his brothers. Victor Grador was left unable to defend himself or fight back against the overwhelming amount of evidence. He was totally done for. Jeff went back to school, resuming his life as a genius student from the traditional medicine department. Atlas returned to his acting career, and Dave chose to assist their mother with her project and workshop. It was true when Jeff mentioned that the key to the Technical workshop has been with him since the very beginning. It was in the box that Edward's father, Emmanuel, had returned to him after learning about his mother. Victor Grador's exposure has left the Malfoy Family in a precarious situation, despit
Jeff glared at the pretentious people in front of him with his thin lips pressed together. He wished he could vent his pent-up anger and tell them all he had wanted to tell them for years. However, he couldn't, no, he was not in the position to yell at them. "Lower your eyes, bastard! We've raised a white-eyed wolf all these years. And you dare to interrupt me?" The Old Lady yelled. "You are going back to your family. They can continue raising an ungrateful bastard like you!" The other people beside her rushed to her side while telling her to leave the white-eyed wolf. "Jeff, you know grandma's health isn't good. Why are you stressing her? I heard your father is a farmer and he's quite influential in his village. You can start there." "He's indeed an ungrateful bastard. The Old Woman took care of him all these years but he dares to talk back! He wants to covet our family's wealth. You are going back to your family!" "An insolent fool! All he knows how to do is to eat and be usele
