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,
As a young child, Jeff used to wander a lot because he was happy with what he saw all around him. However, things changed after he met Professor Paul. Even though he didn't mention the Hemsworth family name to Professor Paul, the latter took care of him and didn't ask him to mention names. He simply listened to Jeff's narrative. Professor Paul then questioned how a nine-year-old boy could have traveled to the island by himself. It turned out that Vero Island was something Jeff had stumbled upon by accident while reading a lot of books."Remember to look after yourself. Professor Paul commented, "Those who are wealthy tend to be cunning," fastening his seat belt.Since they both had to be somewhere, he left right after Jeff did."I am shrewder than them," Jeff chuckled. "My initial assumption was that Grandma Hemsworth would contact the police. I had no problem spending a few days behind bars.Paul nearly smacked his head, saying, "Your stupid jokes are getting out of hand."With a h
"Hello. Am I speaking with Jeff Hemsworth?"Jeff frowned when he heard 'Hemsworth'. He had not changed his name because he was not officially a Malfoy yet."Yes, who is this?" he asked in response."We are from Xx University. We would like to make you an offer. It is not required of you to take the admission exam. You are...""I am sorry, but I already selected a university," said Jeff."Maybe you should reconsider and give us a call again.""I'm sorry, I'm not rethinking" Jeff uttered and hung up. Jeff's phone has been ringing constantly ever since the entrance exam results were released. There are multiple text messages from TV and radio shows, and he is receiving admission offers from various universities.Jeff was pressed for time because the All Stars Admission test was in less than a week.He would therefore be traveling to Starry City in a week.Jeff was currently taking care of the garden. "Brother. "Would you kindly bring me along when you go out?" inquired Amy.Jeff turned
Upon hearing from Jeff's family, the Hemsworths were eager to send him away, believing him to be a dullard who would not benefit them.To be exact, he is a genius who has read nearly every medical book published in the world. Jeff did not start acting foolishly on his own initiative; rather, someone forced him to do so.Rachael used to rip off Jeff's test sheet when they were younger if Jeff scored higher than Edward's and would tell him not to score higher if he loved Edward.Naturally, young Jeff cherished Edward as a brother at the time and would purposefully give his teacher an empty test sheet. Jeff would be confined to his room while Edward was receiving instruction from his tutor. But since Jeff left their family, they have been dealing with a different kind of misfortune, and rather than having to consider what they did, Jeff is held responsible for everything that has happened.Shawn, Grandmother Hemsworth's niece listened to the allegations made against Jeff as he walked
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
*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
*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
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
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
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,
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
Jeff could see Dave talking to one girl, who was laughing like a little child, from a distance. Even from that distance, Dave drew attention, and he even wore something that covered most of his head. Jeff wondered why anyone would be interested in that stupid boy.“You are here” Dave let out a low laugh upon seeing Jeff, he turned to the girl and said. “Nice meeting you Lisa, see you soon.” “You too.” As Lisa turned to leave, the smile on Dave's face faltered completely, like it was never there.“Girls” he mumbled under his breath. He had literally entertained the girl to avoid suspicion from others because he was dressed as someone who was about to rob a bank.“I didn't know you could talk to girls, you look bitter” Jeff made a comment, a smile tugging his lips. “I wonder what that girl sees in you.” “I wonder what Jamie saw in you” Dave laughed it off. “Elias was literally in love with her, and she chose you!”At the mention of Elias, Jeff let out a small laugh.He had not hear
"Why did you go to his house alone?! You should have informed any one of us before leaving!" A loud, enraged voice resounded throughout the room as Professor Paul spoke.Jeff, standing before his uncle, faced his fury. "I needed to verify something," he said casually, maintaining his composure in spite of the tense situation.Had he not visited the Grador's Mansion today, he would not have been aware of somethings. To be honest, Jeff did not intend to go alone, but after Atlas's remarks, he was left with no other option.Professor Paul's frustration simmered as he continued, "You're starting to act on your own, Jeff. This isn't safe."Apart from Jeff, there are still a lot of people who are victims of Victor's shady act. Including Professor Paul himself. He had stepped down from the Dean Position after Victor found out he was going to ruin all he had built for years.If anything, Paul knew how devious that man could be. The man who made him left his workplace disguised as retiring. Vi
