I will think about it then.

"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 you," said Grandmother Hemsworth. "I simply did not want you to take the initiative the next time. Even if you happen to see him outside, you should avoid interacting with him. Do you understand?"

Jeff cleaned his tears, "Yes, Grandmother. Thank you."

"Now head to your room to study. Being among the greatest in Starry City, All Stars University is more than just a university. You have to exert every effort to gain entry, okay?

"Grandmother, do not worry. I won't let you down."

He must, of course, avoid disappointing the Hemsworth Family. After all, he is the Hemsworth family's eldest descendant.

"This is Jamie, my cousin."

With a contemplative expression, Jeff fixes his gaze on the young lady.

"Hello, I'm Jeff."

It is the same young woman who earlier discovered Grandma Hemsworth's box.

"Thank you for the other time."

"Not a huge deal, I just find it annoying when wealthy families act arrogantly."

Jeff learned that the young lady is a native of Starry City and descended from the Scavo family, one of the most powerful and well-established families in the city.

James's mother and Liam's father are apparently related as they are blood siblings. So, Jamie has a really good relationship with the Greenfield Family.

Every affluent family in Arty City Elite Circle knows that the Scavo Family from Starry City is related to the Greenfield Family. For the sole purpose of winning the family over, they attend the birthday feast out of kindness.

"They are picking on you because you appear too composed. Simply ruin their face the next time," Jamie yelled, rolling her eyes vehemently.

Liam patted Jeff's back and laughed, saying, "You can not expect everyone to be like you." "But Jeff, you should really teach that Edward a lesson. What did his mother say, "Please do not mind Edward," when he was obviously trying to make you feel uncomfortable earlier? He's still young.' Clowns."

After a long conversation between the three, the feast was about to end.

"You never even inquired about what I had told you," Liam abruptly uttered.

Jeff was about to leave this time when Liam's sentence interrupted him.

"What?" Jeff raised his brows "Oh, the money thingy? I thought you were joking."

"I'm sincere but it depends" Liam crossed his arms, awaiting Jeff's response.

"Depends on what? You should speak if you wish to."

"There is a basketball competition, and the winning squad will receive $5,000. One of the teams, which my friend captains, has an injured player who is unable to compete. Will you partake?!" Liam said, blinking like a puppy who lost its way.

Liam had witnessed Jeff's professional-level basketball play once when they were friends in high school. Liam thought he should join the school team because he was that good, but Jeff gave him a glare.

Initially, Liam could not understand why Jeff was not doing what he was good at, but he soon detected the cause.

Jeff turned him down right away, saying, "I am sorry, I am studying for the college entrance exam."

"What?! You are? Which College did you choose?"

"All Stars University."

Liam nearly believed he misheard Jeff. Why did Jeff, a student in lower grades, decide to attend All Stars University? Even he who was among the top ten students in high school, almost flopped the school exam even though he passed the college entrance exam successfully.

"Wait... the same university in Starry City? The All Stars University I'm attending?" Liam found it hard to believe. His surprise was evident when Jeff nodded and even said, "Yes, the same All Stars University," after he slapped his cheeks to make sure he was not dreaming. I do not have time for a tournament because I have to study."

Jeff, please give it some more thought! Though I do not doubt your abilities, All Stars University, I believe you ought to think twice." Liam said in a low voice.

Why should I give it some thought? "I am going to ace both the school exam and the college entrance exam," a serious Jeff uttered.

Nor does it appear that he was bluffing.

No matter how hard he thought about it, Liam decided that talking about All Stars University would be too inappropriate.

"I will be your tutor, I swear. All the books I read, I will lend them to you. Please be in the tournament" He begged.

"Why do you want me to participate if you are not going to participate? I know you can play basketball too" Jeff replied.

"Don't you need money?" Liam asked. "You can earn money. It's not free. You need money, don't you?"

Surprised, Jeff nodded. He has not yet revealed his family to Liam. Even though he didn't know much, but Jeff knows that his family was super rich.

"Do you know anything about the Malfoy family in Starry City?" Jeff questioned, a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"The Malfoy family? You dare to say the Malfoy Family without adding 'powerful'" Liam said seriously. He glared at Jeff as if the latter just made a grave mistake. "They are one of the most powerful families in New Zinland, well known in the business world, the entertainment world, almost in every aspect."

Jeff looked at Liam in silence, unsure of whether to tell him about his family. Liam might not even believe it.

"Oh! Are they that powerful?" He asked.

"Of course! In Starry City, you will often hear of the Malfoy family, the Scavo Family, and Santiago Family" Liam verbalized.

"Scavo family? Jamie's family?" Jeff questioned, surprise etched on his face.

"Yes."

"No wonder Grandmother Hemsworth didn't argue with her."

"Wait! Aren't we talking about the tournament?" Liam asked. You can even join the national team if you do well."

After a few minutes of begging, Jeff decided to meet the team captain first.
