The Hemsworth Family are also invited to the Greenfield's banquet. The Qin family might be a low-key family, however, their impact on the business world is quite big. Befriending them won't be a bad thing.
Grandmother Hemsworth, Edward's Mother(Rachael), Edward, and the old Lady last child, Emilia decided to represent the Xie family today.Dressed in outfits that say nothing but elegance and luxury, the Hemsworth family arrived at the Greenfield mansion. They brought two cars with them: Grandmother Hemsworth and Emilia used one while Edward's Mother and Edward used the other car.As they got out of the car, Jeff's cab arrived at the same time. Edward was the first to notice Jeff and was instantly surprised to see him.However, being that tricky boy, he composed himself and put on his façade. He ran towards Jeff, hugging him tightly like a spoilt brat."Brother! I missed you so much" Edward hugged Jeff tightly, shedding crocodile tears.The other Hemsworth members stared in awe, wondering why Jeff was there.Edward grabbed Jeff's hand, his back facing the Xie members. "What are you doing here, brother? Did Liam invite you? Or are you here to beg him for mercy? I would advise you to go back and think carefully. Don't ruin today for me, for the Hemsworth family."Jeff smirked, grabbing Edward's other hand. "Let go of my hand while I'm being nice. Or do you want me to break your hand? I think it would be better though. I would rather have my blood wasted than to have it flow in your body."Edward's gaze darkened and he immediately let go of Jeff's hand. Just as he let go, he grabbed Jeff's other hand, wearing his pretentious expression."Grandmother is here, brother. You should greet her and maybe beg her to take you in again. You look so thin!"He dragged Jeff to the other Hemsworth family, an innocent smile on his face."Grandmother! Brother is here to greet you" Edward pulled Jeff's hand."What are you doing here?" Rachael asked, her eyes holding some hostility. "If you are here to cause trouble, just know that the Hemsworth family won't be held responsible. You are no longer part of us!""Mom!" Edward called, trying to stop his mother from saying further.However, Grandmother Hemsworth picked up from where Rachael stopped, her wrinkles appearing even more ugly."Are you here to take back the envelope you left?" The Old Lady said. "You think the money you left is enough for all we did for you, ungrateful bastard? If you are here to beg me to take you back, you better don't disgrace yourself and leave now!"Jeff stared at the Old lady, a mocking smile on his lips. His gaze shifts to Edward's hand that was holding his. Yanking Edward's hand away, the latter fell to the floor, an ugly expression appearing on his face."You like making assumptions, don't you?" Jeff chuckles mockingly. "Me? Beg to go back to the Hemsworth family? That hell? It seems like you've aged during the three weeks I left. I'm not here for you if you will excuse me."With that, he walked away from them. He felt contented when he saw the look on their faces. Thinking of something, he turned back and called out to Edward."You should stop that childish act, it's getting boring."Finally, out of their sight, he walked towards the entrance. He was let in without the invitation card as Liam had informed the people outside.The Greenfields's Mansion is no different than the other rich people's mansion but when Jeff entered, he could feel some sense of tranquility.The exterior was gentle rather than expensive, it gave off a cool feeling. Jeff immediately felt at ease."Jeff!"He turned around, his eyes meeting with Liam's pair of brown eyes. A smile tugged Jeff's lips as he thought of something.Liam looked more mature than a year ago. His black hair which was normally let down was styled properly. Maybe the University makes people change."Oh my God! You look taller!" Liam exclaims, raising his head to look at Jeff who was one or two heads taller than him."And you look taller too but not taller than me" Jeff replied, a small smile still tugging his lips.Liam and Jeff exchanged a few words before they walked into the venue for the birthday, the grand hall."I'm sorry for whatever happened!" Liam apologized, unable to look at Jeff in the face.He had indeed behaved stupidly for believing that spoilt brat.If not because of what he witnessed some weeks ago at the bar, he would still hate Jeff now.At first, he didn't believe an innocent looking boy like Edward would do that. But he clearly saw what transpired at the club and what happened before Jeff arrived.Liam felt sorry after he found out that Jeff was kicked out of the family and he suddenly realized why Jeff was despised... Jeff doesn't belong to the Hemsworth family.When Edward badmouthed Jeff then, Liam was really surprised. How could Edward hate his own brother so much to say such words?But Edward is cunning, he made Liam believe that Jeff is a bad guy."Whatever" Jeff replied nonchalantly. "If it was someone else, they would have done the same."Of course, Jeff understands how Edward can be when he's hellbent on getting what he wants. But he still thinks that Liam is just someone who is easy to fool."Take me to your Mother," Jeff said.The grand hall was full of people from the elite circle, each wearing expensive clothes to show off their wealth. Not all of them are really here to celebrate Mrs. Greenfield's birthday.Some are here to impress the Greenfield family, some are here to show off their wealth... The elite circle is indeed full of different people.Jeff didn't take a glance at the people who looked at him curiously.The cloth he was wearing isn't of high quality but it looked good on him. He looked ordinary to most of them and some people became more curious.When they realized the young man was the fake son kicked out of the Hemsworth family, many of them began to wonder what was going on.The news of the Hemsworth family kicking out their fake son whom everyone believed to be the heir of the Hemsworth family was one of the hot topics two weeks ago. But it died down already and no one expected to see the fake son in the Geenfield's party.Not long after, the Hemsworth family entered the Grand Hall, piquing the curiosity of those present.Jeff didn't spare anyone a glance, he walked toward Mrs. Greenfield with Liam.She was talking to some guests and didn't notice the slight commotion in the hall."Mother" Liam called softly. "Meet my friend, Jeff."Mrs. Greenfield turned around, her gaze meeting with Jeff."Hello, Jeff" Mrs. Greenfield Said, her eyes gentle like a clear sky on a sunny day."Hello, Mrs. Greenfield! Happy birthday," Jeff said pulling out a small box out of his pocket. He hands it over to her, a genuine smile on his lips.Mrs. Greenfield collected the box from him, shifting his gaze to look at her son who looked surprised as well.They didn't expect him to bring a gift after all he had passed through. Isn't he very poor now? How could he afford a gift?"Thank you," Mrs. Greenfield said, opening the small box.A pair of earrings and a necklace came into view."I hope Mrs. Greenfield likes it," Jeff said, gazing calmly at the woman who looked a bit surprised.Mrs. Greenfield hasn't seen something like the earrings and necklace before. The accessories appeared less expensive unlike the ones in her collections but these gifts looked too beautiful and rare to be ignored."Yes, I do! Thank you for the gift" Mrs. Greenfield said."I'm glad you li...""Isn't that Grandmother's box? Brother, did... did you steal something from us? You should have asked me for money if you need money. Why did you steal grandmother's things?"Jeff hadn't finished speaking when he heard a disgusting voice behind him.It was Edward again.After Jeff entered the Greenfield Mansion, it took the Hemsworth members some minutes before regaining their composure. "That jerk" Rachael grits her teeth angrily. She glanced at the Old Woman, anger riling up inside her. "That boy needs a lesson. See how he insulted you, Mother.""Let's go inside! He's trying to ruin our moods and cause damage to our family, we must not allow him" Emilia said, holding the Old Woman's hand. She led her inside, signaling at Rachael. Emilia wants Rachael to stop being angry since they are in the Greenfield's Mansion today.Just as they entered the the grand hall, they saw Jeff with the only son of the Greenfield family. An indescribable feeling arose in Rachael's chest and she glared at Jeff with hatred. The fake son is trying to curry favor with the only son of the Greenfield family."That bastard surely knows the way to rise up. He's gradually showing his claws" Rachael said through gritted teeth.She had always disliked this boy but suppressed th
"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 y
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
