"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.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
Amy keeps staring at Jeff as they eat breakfast. Jeff was looking through his phone, reading various posts and articles about himself. He couldn't help but think about how the Hemsworth family will be feeling."You should put your phone away and eat first."" With her eyes fixed on Jeff, Amy spoke abruptly.Jeff lifted his head and pursed his lips, wondering how he could make small talk with a six-year-old girl. "I thought you didn't want to talk to me. You've changed your mind?"Amy said, "You did not seem like a bad person," while she was scooping food."You thought I was a bad person, so that is why you did not talk to me?" Jeff questioned, his lips parted in a silent surprise. The little girl, with her brown eyes glowing, said timidly, "I think you caused the fight between Mom and Dad because you showed up suddenly." "But it is alright. Mommy is wrong about you. You are not a bad person." Jeff gave her a smile but said nothing in response. Not because he didn't want to but the gi
The birthday party for Grandmother Hemsworth, the matriarch of the Hemsworth family, was underway at the grand Ritzy Plaza as the sun shone brightly and warmly. As the exquisite ballroom hummed with excitement, Professor Paul entered wearing a dapper suit and exuded mystery. The grand double doors opened to reveal the distinguished figure.Upon noticing Professor Paul, Grandmother Hemsworth walked up to him, wearing a polite smile. She was relishing the gasps that echoed through the ballroom.Being an indigenous person himself, Professor Paul was well known in the elite circles of Arty City. He was born and raised in Arty City, but all of a sudden he rose to fame as the first-ever youngest Dean of Zombie World, and it was later discovered that he was the last remaining pupil of the late Johnson Lee.It turns out that he wasn't only a computer genius but also a music genius.But he left the Zombie Institute a few years ago to take a position as a music professor at All Stars."The imp
Edward shifted, a grin on his face. "Oh really, Jeff? And what makes you think I played the song I wrote, wrong? I seem to recall that you are not even able to play the piano."Edward still didn't know that his fake brother had been deceiving them all these years. To him, Jeff remained the same stupid kid he had lived with.There was an uproar among the guests, each guest questioning if Jeff was right or wrong.With her brows knitted and her lips curled into a snarl, Rachael's face twisted into a mask of fury. "What an ungrateful boy! What do you think you are doing? arriving without warning and now asserting to know whether something is amiss."Jeff casually replied, "I know what is wrong, and what is wrong is that your angelic son played the last note wrong.""Why are you doing this?"Jeff said, "Because you must regret it," with a hint of humor mixed in with the coldness.His gaze met Rachael's as a vortex swirled inside of him.When Rachael realized what he had said, she recoiled,
