Duane clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white with rage. His jaw hardened and his muscles throbbed with tension as drops of sweat trickled down his brow. Was the heirloom from the Malfoy family just given to Jeff by his father?With a flash of piercing anger in his eyes, Duane bounded into the room. He let out short, sharp gasps, each one tinged with a mixture of fear and rage. "Father!" The intense feelings threatened to overtake Duane, causing his body to tremble and his heart to race. He turned to look at Jeff and the heirloom he was holding.This was the necklace that he had been assiduously attempting to claim for years, but his father had recently given it to Jeff, the recently Malfoy son."I will never accept this! This is unacceptable!" Duane yelled, his voice laced with pent-up anger and frustration. He approached Jeff and Old Master Malfoy who was lying sickly on the bed.When Jeff noticed Duane's rage, he abruptly got up despite not understanding what was happenin
"Young Master Jeff" Chris furrowed his brows. "Can you help? Can you help us track it?""I need my computer first" Jeff answered. "Or wait, let me ask Smartie and Spooky to get it for me.""Ahh! Your new friends?" Chris questioned, his tone showing a tinge of curiosity. That being said, Jeff took out his phone and called Smartie.Soon after, Duane stormed outside, simmering rage burning in his eyes. David felt a chill go down his spine when he saw his brother's enraged expression. He knew all too well the wrath that awaited him."You are so utterly incompetent, David!" With a thunderous voice, Duane yelled across the yard. "You want me to put you in charge of things, but look at you! You are incapable of even doing the easiest jobs!"David tried to speak, but his voice caught in his throat, leaving him stammering, "I-I'm sorry, brother. I had no intention of stirring up trouble."Duane's rage grew even more intense. "Sorry? Sorry won't fix the mess you've made, you fool!" he spat, h
Even David was surprised. He only brought Jeff to escape his brother's insults and his brother isn't very happy that he brought Jeff to Malfoy's Group database.He somehow felt proud seeing the shocked look on their faces.Gary who was also talking earlier couldn't even say a word. He saw how Jeff's hand moved tirelessly on the computer. He doesn't look like he was new to this at all.Even so, Gary didn't believe Jeff could track the goods in five hours. He himself was a pro, someone who had been into this kind of job for years, and not only him, but his other team members too, they were all experts in the field.Despite so, they couldn't even locate the goods after twenty-four hours had passed.Soon, thirty minutes passed and Jeff was still doing his thing, his eyes not moving from his computer. His side profile revealed his handsome features and his indifference gave the room a cool feeling.Gary felt like the boy looked familiar. It was quite impossible not to notice his aura.Even
"What do you mean by my stepson?!" Arlina's eyebrows shot upwards in shock. "How did it happen? What the hell did he do?""From what I heard, Second Young Master brought him to Malfoy Group" Amelia answered."He brought him to such a confidential place? What the hell is he even thinking!!""But he solved the problem, Boss. He tracked the goods!""Well, that's the problem! I really hate that boy! How did he even manage to track the goods when your brother couldn't do it?" Arlina's voice was laced with anger and uncertainty. "The boy is hiding something from everyone. First, he treated Old Master Scavo and now, he tracked something?! He's going to be a hindrance, I can feel it.""What should I do now, Boss?" Amelia asked. "Should I look into him more thoroughly?""Not at all. Now that Trinder's birthday banquet is tomorrow, you can return to your office and prepare. I have a phone call to make."After Amelia left, Arlina quickly picked up her phone to make a call."Have you found it?" S
Shawn, his face painted with concern, hurried over to the scene after noticing the disturbance. Even though he was aware of Ella's explosive temper, he was still in shock over what had just happened to her. He reached out to Arlina, an apologetic look on his face."I'm incredibly sorry, Mrs. Malfoy. I have no idea what came over Ella," Shawn said, his voice laced with genuine remorse.Arlina's frown deepened, her eyes flickering with a mix of betrayal and hurt. She let out a long sigh before responding, "Mr. Hemsworth, I appreciate your apology, but this is highly uncalled for. And Ella, you went too far. How dare you splash me? How dare you?"The heaviness in her voice reflected the disappointment and anger she felt. Without another word, Arlina calmly turned on her heels and made her way towards the nearest exit. Anger radiated from her every step as she walked through the ornate double doors into the moonlit night.Ella watched Arlina's retreat, her face contorted with anger. Sh
Arlina stood there, lost for words but what more could she say... Jeff already left.She noticed him trailing behind Professor Paul like a young child as she made her way back inside. Jeff had an unmistakable quality that made him stand out.When he chooses to reciprocate verbatim, when he displays indifference, and when he shows kindness toward those who are important to him... He appears to be a different person every time.This was the same boy who made her feel fear."You are back, inside," Amelia said to her boss. "Are you alright?""Yes," was Arlina's response. "Run a background check on him."Without uttering his name, Arlina fixed her attention on Jeff. When Amelia saw Jeff, she was taken aback as well. What was the boy doing at the Trinder's birthday banquet?"All right, Boss," she replied.Keeping secrets is just one of the many things that come with working for a large family."So much drama," Amelia mused to herself before leaving to pick up a phone call.Professor Paul ke
“Is Master Cleo not yet around?”Arlina was getting impatient. Madam Trinder had already begun her birthday speech, and the person she had come here for hadn't arrived.Amelia answered, “Mrs. Malfoy, master Cleo is known for his different and strange behavior, but be rest assured that he will come.” Professional as always.“Remember, we must talk to him today. No matter the cost” Arlina reminded Amelia.“Yes, ma'am.”Despite her advanced years, Madam Trinder, a well-respected figure in Starry City, still exudes youth and style.According to the report, Madam Trinder moved her whole family to New Zinland after divorcing her husband, who was from a well-known family in Swillevin.She worked hard for her children's success and suddenly rose to fame one day. It was a story common in the elite circle.While some believed Old Madam Trinder had worked hard all by herself, some believed her divorced husband had helped her.“After the birthday speech, we should go say 'hi'” Old Lady Hemsworth
*Some minutes ago*"Is Blade not coming anymore?" Jeff asked Professor Paul. "It would be a waste if I did not see him; I came here to meet him.""Don't worry, he will be here" Professor Paul replied. "But don't call him Blade.""I don't know his name. What should I call him?""Don't worry, you will find out soon" Professor Paul answered, a hint of playfulness shining in his eyes.After some moments, the ballroom's grand door was flung open, revealing a short old man and five men cladded in suits walking into the ballroom."He's still the same as usual. Always coming in a grand manner" Professor Paul chuckled and faced Jeff. "That is Blade" he whispered. "But don't call him Blade here, he's Master Cleo."A hint of surprise flashed in Jeff's eyes seeing the old Man he had seen back in the gambling boxing site. The only different thing was that he's wearing a suit now while last time, he only wore a white shabby robe.Jeff didn't inquire further about Master Cleo's appearance because he
