Jed picked it up from the coffee table to look at the message. It was the phone they had retrieved from the beach earlier.[Why aren't any one of you bastards answering my calls? Where the fuck are you?]Jed's eyes glazed over the name displayed on the phone's screen as the sender and he arched a brow.Boss?Is that how the jerk saved Will's name? Jed wanted to probe further but the phone was locked. "Hack this device," He threw it at Adam who almost missed. "The doctor said he can't tell as she is still in the operation theater but he will keep us informed. However, he said we should expect anything as she was in a very critical condition.""I wonder how those bastards tortured her. Her delicate skin was covered in bruises," Ben spat out, he couldn't find the appetite to swallow the hot choco in his hand so he just dropped the cup on the table with a low bang but loud enough to wake those sleeping."Sssh, be quiet," Jed looked up the stairs for any movement but nothing. "They are go

"Excuse me ma'am."Mrs Andrews hid a smile and continued the lecture as Jed walked out. She secretly thought,'Those two pretend to be at loggerheads with each other in class but look... They are taking excuses at the same time.'Jed headed to the restroom direction, the only place he suspected Liana would be.But just as he took a turn into the hallway that led to the restroom, he bumped into someone. More like she bumped into him."Ow! Watch where you are going," Liana snapped as she rubbed her nose which had turned red in pain.She looked up at him and thought he was only a teen yet his chest was already rock solid. Realizing her thoughts, she flushed."I'm sorry. Where were you rushing to? I thought something had happened to you," Jed wanted to reach out but refrained himself because he knew she wouldn't like it."Perv... Why would you come down to the ladies' restroom? Why do you even care if something happened to me?" Jed almost winced. Why was she getting so aggressive? He was

In the scanty office, only Alan's harsh breath could be heard. After a few minutes of silence, the attorney wanted to call out thinking he'd been forgotten over the phone when Alan suddenly asked,"What is the way out? What are we expected to do now?""I'm sorry Chairman Jetti. There is nothing we can do. The court hearing is tomorrow and representatives from your company are expected to be present at the Supreme court at exactly 9am."Alan's veins popped out in anger. He was about to lash out when the attorney added,"Chairman, we can't do anything about the withdrawal of the case anymore. I can only try my best tomorrow to minimize the loss."Alan's eyes dilated. He already ordered the PR team to let out news that the case had been withdrawn and all the rumors about the company were false.The company was beginning to regain their reputation and now this had to happen!"Your best is not enough! You are fired!" The attorney was stunned. "Sir... Sir...""Since you can't do anything us

"Woah.... Woah... Woah, dude, have you forgotten?" A heavily-built boy with muscles that were practically bulging out of his best pushed Justin out of the way."Have you forgotten he has to try every event?" He turned to Jed and asked with an eager look. "Junior, do you want to try weightlifting training? Who knows? You might discover it's your calling.""No! That's cheating. Why don't you ask Jed if he wants to try karate instead?" Another team member from the karate team protested."No, I think Jed is more suitable for athletics!""Table tennis isn't as strenuous as other sports. Someone like Jed would prefer to come over to our team.""Football also isn't strenuous. Besides, it's the fastest way to become famous in sports. Say junior, do you want to join our team?"Arthur was bewildered when even the soccer team invited Jed. What is going on??? He and Jayden plotted for this bastard to be humiliated.Why does it seem like not only have they not failed in their plans, they also upli

Just then, the boys were coming downstairs fully dressed for college. Adam was standing at the doorway of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hand.He signaled at Jed with his eyes then. When the boys saw Lawyer Sean and Mason's confused look, they glared at Jed accusingly."You didn't inform him?" Eric whisper-yelled. "I thought you had plans."Jed itched his head nervously. "I ran out of plans."Ben facepalmed. Was it good dropping the bombshell on Mason like this? Poor man, looking so confused."I didn't know the almighty Jedidiah Jetti could run out of plans," Ben still teased."Boss, thank God you are here," He walked to Jed, meeting them at the foot of the stairs. "What's lawyer Sean doing here and what lawsuit is he talking about?""Mason, I want you to keep calm okay?" Jed motioned with his hands and Mason nodded."You have to get dressed and accompany lawyer Sean. Adam will follow you."Adam almost spat out the coffee in his mouth in shock. He looked at Jed with an aggrie
