"Huh? Wellstone Collage? Wait, why Wellstone College? What does that place have to do with any of this?" Johnathan asked in a panic after thinking about all his classmates that must have gotten admitted there.
Primrose High school just like a select few other schools of similar status has a partnership program with Wellstone College. This partnership makes their students more favored during the selection process for admission.
Certainly, some of the people who wrote the admission exam with Johnathan would have been admitted there, people like Molly and Bradly so the thought of that place being connected to this case was alarming.
“Late Master Jaxon and I have been investigating this case for over a decade now by going with what little memory he had of the event. Just recently, one of our channels revealed to us a connection with Wellstone Collage that we didn’t know before” Abraham said
Johnathan looked down at the letter and creased his forehead. He said, “So are you saying that one of the students had something to do with what happened?”
“Not directly because that would be impossible due to timing. Because of how long ago the event happened, it’ll be impossible for any of the students to be involved directly so maybe someone in the staff there knows something or maybe it could be something even more disgusting than that” Abraham said and Johnathan looked at him with curiosity.
“Something more disgusting? What do you mean by that Abraham?”
“Believe it or not Master Johnathan but the world of the super-rich and influential is very competitive and there are a lot of families of lower value than yours who smile in front of your face but behind close doors they want nothing more than to take what’s yours, Master Johnathan”
“I don’t understand what that means Abraham. Please be more clear and not so cryptic with your words” Johnathan asked.
“What I’m saying is that if it wasn’t the staff at Wellstone Collage then it could be the parents of the students who are enrolled there. People usually send their kids to the same school they went to so the parents could have been enrolled there sixteen years ago when the event happened. That’s the connection”
Johnathan thought about what Abraham just said and it makes a lot of sense. If someone in Wellstone knows something then he has to find out who it is and make them spill everything.
“So now that we know this information, what will our next move concerning be it?” Johnathan asked.
Abraham looked at Johnathan from head to toe and made a mental note of his physical condition.
“Master Johnathan, our first move has to be with getting you to a hundred percent health first. You need a lot of rest and exercise to be strong enough to carry out your duties to the family and after that, our move will be finding a way to get someone we can trust into Wellstone Collage so they can get us the information we need” Abraham said and Johnathan jolted when an idea popped into his mind.
“Wait, Abraham!” Johnathan exclaimed.
“What is it, Master Johnathan?”
“There’s no need to find someone else because I applied for admission to Wellstone and I got in. I can be the one who goes in and does what we need” Johnathan smirked but suddenly…
Abraham scowled as he folded his arms together. He said “Absolutely not Master Johnathan! There’s no way I’m allowing you to take on this task when there are so many disposable people we can choose from”
Johnathan grimaced “Gimme your reason why I can’t be the one?”
Abraham frowned “That’s because you’re the next heir to the Cross fortune. You have more important things to do than being a spy in a school like Wellstone. What if you get caught and something happens to you?”
Johnathan adjusted himself on the bed to sit up more properly.
“Listen here Abraham, this isn’t a debate on what I’m supposed to do. I am your master after all and what I say is what you have to listen to, correct?”
“B-but—“ Abraham stuttered but bit his lip to stop himself from almost disrespecting Johnathan. “You’re correct Master Johnathan”
“Good, now I’m telling you that I’m the one going to Wellstone to get what’s needed to be done. That’s the promise I made dad and that’s what I’m going to do, got it?” Johnathan instructed.
Conforming to Johnathan’s orders Abraham bowed his head and said “Understood Master Johnathan.”
Abraham raised his head “I’ll have to make a few calls to the school to inform them of your enrollment so they know how to treat you when you’re healthy enough—“ He said but Johnathan cut him off.
“Wait a minute, don’t do that. Since I’ll be acting as a spy and we don’t know who to trust, revealing that I’m the heir of the Cross family isn’t a good idea. I’ll be attending Wellstone as a normal student. That sounds alright with you?” Johnathan asked.
“If that’s what you want Master Johnathan, your word is law. That means there’s no need to make the call to the school. We’ll just inform them of your injury and that you need time to recover before attending”
“Great, so go do that” Johnathan said and Abraham excused himself to go make the call.
Left by himself in the room, Johnathan said “All the kids in that school are either from rich families or on scholarships so I can just blend in without any suspicion. This will work”
Johnathan clenched his fist and nodded his head in resolve.
A couple of months of Johnathan eating the best foods, exercising with the best trainers and doctors, and learning from the best tutors to make his mind sharp went by really fast.
Because of his new and healthy heart, his skin looked more healthy and smooth, and his hair thicker with a beautiful brown luster. He grew five more centimeters, gained more muscle mass, and the way he talked and walked became more polished and confident.
He had become the embodiment of what an heir should look and act like.
Johnathan was exercising and listening to some lessons in another language when the door to his hospital room opened and walking in were Abraham and some others.
Johnathan stopped what he was doing to face the aged gentleman, two ladies, and a flamboyant-looking man.
“Congratulations on your discharge Master Johnathan, you’re now free to leave this place,” Abraham said and Johnathan smiled before flicking his eyes to the three other people.
“Thanks, Abraham. I’ve been waiting for this day since that day I woke up. So what’s next?” Johnathan asked, looking back at Abraham.
Abraham smiled “Next we’re going to go meet your grandfather. There’s something you two need to do first and he also wants to see his grandson in person”
Johnathan smirked and nodded his head “Alright, I’ll just get ready. But Abraham, who are these people?”
Abraham extended his hand to the people behind him and said “This Master Johnathan is the world’s famous designer, Gustav and these two are his assistants and partners”
Johnathan’s eyes widened and his mouth gaped when he heard the name Abraham just called.
“They are here to get you looking your best for your meeting”

The paramedic who had the syringe in his hand paused, jaw dropped, leaning back and filled with utter confusion.Anthony who was seeing all of this instantly got a look of disgust aimed at Franklin and what he just did."What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that, take away the only thing that’s saving your life right now?!" Anthony asked while he grimaced.He pulled himself away from Franklin and then with the anger still in him but now also mixed with a state of confusion, he pushed a weakened Franklin to the ground."Just what the hell do you want from me?!" Anthony yelled in an exasperated manner, looking down at Franklin who was holding on to his neck and trying to breathe in as much air as he possibly could.Contrary to being the one who had inflicted pain on everyone else, physically or otherwise, Anthony looked like he was in more agony than anyone else, huffing and trying to find a way to get calm."Alright you fool, that's enough from you. Just take a look at wha

Chaos ran wild as many of the patients in the main entrance of The Meteor Garden hospital scattered for either their safety or as a knee-jerk response to Anthony and Franklin.Some were patients with high sensitivity like epilepsy, autism, or Tourette so the sudden act of violence was enough to trigger them.Being among the few staff there and a proactive one at that, the nurse behind the counter hurriedly grabbed the landline and put out a call."Can we get some medics over here in the main area, right now?! We need as much help as possible with handling the patients and also to put a stop to a visitor who's gone crazy!" she yelled into the mouthpiece then slammed the landline back on itself.The nurses were able to get to the more mentally balanced patients who only fell to the floor while trying to move away from Anthony and Franklin.As for those currently going crazy, they needed more serious help from the paramedics who were able-bodied enough to appropriately handle the situati

["Hello? Who is this?"] Finally, after three attempts his call was answered."This is Anthony, Mr's Faller. I was just calling to see how Samuel was doing" he sat in the bed with his shoes off but still had his casino dealer outfit on.["Umm, he's fine. It's already way past his bedtime so he should be in bed sleeping. Is anything the matter?"]After hearing this, Anthony second-guessed himself on if Samuel was okay or not.Anthony thought that he might just be worrying for nothing. "It's nothing, I just wanted to call since it's been a while since I last did, that's all" he smiled["It has been a minute since you called but honestly I can't blame you, not when you and my husband have something so serious like Ama— Oh, sorry I mentioned that"] she covered her mouth.Anthony chuckled as a way to lighten the mood "You don't have to be ma, I also know how this has shaken your family so don't hold yourself on my account. I'll be just fine" he smiled["I'm glad to hear that and you make su

'The features, the resemblance, it's all so uncanny' Even in the intensity of the reproach, a conflicting thought lingered in Franklin's mind as he stared at Anthony.Anthony's face didn't undergo any negative changes after being accused, he remained as unfazed and stoic as ever "What are you talking about Sir, cheating in what game?""Don't play dumb with me kid, the others may have been too distracted to notice but I had my eyes on you the entire time and I know sleight of hand when I see it. Nothing can escape these trained eyes of mine" Franklin said."Okay sir, sounds like you're talking about a magic show you must have gone to. Sleight of hand? How does that have anything to do with me, a simple part-timer?" Anthony scrunched his eyebrows, tilting his head to the left."Why you!" Franklin exclaimed, smacking his tongue afterward.'Who is this kid? He couldn't be him could he?' Franklin's glare became even more intense and with that, it was evident that he wasn't going to back do

Since the beginning, the manager had had his head bowed ever so slightly that it looked like he had a slouch but in truth, he didn't ("Oh, one last thing. Always remember to lower your head when in the presence of these guests.") The manager told Anthony during the interview but Anthony responded with silence at the time.The manager took that as compliance but he was wrong as he has been glaring at Anthony but Anthony wasn't lowering his head to the guests. Instead, he was looking them straight in the eyes.Angry at Anthony, the manager wanted to address the topic but couldn't in their presence so he would have to remain quiet about it until they leave.However, what he didn't expect was that both VIPs didn't seem bothered about Anthony not acting overly subservient around them. They were even more accepting of him than the manager had calculated, especially from the man on the left."So how did you get so skilled in cards kid? You also gamble a lot?" Asked the VIP on the left, puffi
