Chapter 108
It's the only way to keep you, to make you mine Edward missed one thing while Jeff was operating on Billy. He was unaware that Jeff had already reviewed Billy's records from Doctor V, who was meant to treat Billy but ultimately decided not to do so due to Doctor Tony's caution.
Billy actually had numerous scars that were visible on his legs in addition to that injury.
It was also true that during the procedure, the wound might bleed, but Jeff persisted and chose to take a chance.
Fortunately, Billy's body was good and it really didn't affect him much.
Still, he was a little surprised that Edward would go to the extent of providing Doctor Tony with knowledge.
Edward decided to play his cards well and permanently end Jeff because he was very certain that Billy would not make it through the surgery given his old scars.
In addition to having a personal grudge against Jeff, Edward did this because he wanted to protect his family and would stop at nothing to prevent Jeff from ruining it.
And he really believed that everything was going well this time.
Meanwhile, a post made by an anonymous account had the internet in a frenzy.
Even though there were no pictures or names, the post gave details that Jeff was the target.
Of course, they were all curious at first about who would do such a thing to a friend, especially on a day like the Stars Ball but after going through the details, it was clear that it was Jeff.
People were still aware that Jeff had once become very popular and created a lot of buzz on the internet. His popularity has diminished due to his sparse online activity, but he still receives a lot of negative feedback and requests that the situation be looked into.
Following the shocking revelation that an All
Stars University student had leapt from a building, Jeff became the center of attention for the media. Headlines screamed, Murderous Med Student: All Stars University.
Student Plunges to Death," igniting a firestorm, of speculation and outrage among the public.
Reporters descended upon the university campus, eager to capture every detail of the tragic incident.
Cameras flashed as students huddled in groups, their faces etched with shock and grief.
Rumors of Jeff's involvement reverberated through the hallowed halls, bringing a heavy feeling to the normally lively campus.
Doctor Tony, meanwhile, paced nervously within the walls of his office.
His usual disposition had vanished, giving way to a fearful yet determined expression.
Doctor Tony found himself in a precarious situation after attempting to contact Young Master Atlas, but the young man had already departed Starry City.
Clutching his phone tightly, Doctor Tony bit down on his fingers, his eyes darting around the room as if searching for a solution.
He knew he had to act quickly to salvage the’ situation. After a few moments of contemplation, he slammed his phone down on his desk, a look of steely resolve etched across his face.
"There's only one way,” he muttered to himself, his voice tinged with desperation. "I'm ready to go to any length necessary." Elias and Jamie graced an executive restaurant.
Jamie, outwardly composed, concealed a tempest of emotions beneath her stoic facade. She felt tired and demoralized by the events of the last few days, which weighed heavily on her.
Elias, not understanding her inner turmoil, tried to win her over with platitudes that did not work and was received with a laugh that was
not even remotely funny.
Elias pressed his lips, seeing Jamie's indifference to his compliment. He had tried his possible best to get Jamie to respond to everything. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
He was aware of the real reason she accepted the engagement, of course, but their mothers had already made up their minds before they were even born.
He recalled how Jamie had quickly left him after the dance and didn't say a word.
I I Elias found out later that Jamie had gone out I to see Jeff. He did his best to maintain his I composure and avoid appearing needy, but it I does not appear that Jamie was giving him any thought. I "Jamie, what's wrong?" He asked, trying not to come across as irritated. "Don't you like the food? I know you are still surprised about our engagement but this would have happened nonetheless. Our mothers had a long-standing engagement contract." ‘I get it" Jamie looked up and smiled. "It's just
an engagement." It does not imply that they will stay together indefinitely.
Elias' chopsticks clattered against the polished tabletop, his anger flaring like a sudden storm. Jamie's tight lip line and furrowed brow betrayed her discomfort. " Aren't you enjoying the date?" Elias demanded, his voice laced with irritation.
"Elias!" Jamie called anger flashing in her eyes.
"Just answer me! Are you enjoying the date?" A smirk danced in Jamie's eyes. "After yesterday's turbulent events, who could find joy in a date with the jump and all the drama on the internet?" she asked in a strained voice.
"Why are dates more important to you than anything else?" she asked, pausing and aiming her piercing gaze at Elias.
Elias's lips tightened as he realized Jamie was once again considering Jeff. Why does he care about the drama on the internet? What is his business with what happened?! His poise fell away, giving way to a bewilderment of desperation and
manipulation. "Because it's the only way to keep you, to make you mine," he blurted out, his words tumbling over each other.
"Make me yours?" Jamie scoffed. "Your junior jumped off a building, your cousin is being set up for murder, and the next thing you think of is going on a date." "How dare you refer to him as my cousin? That Country Kid is not my cousin!" Snatching his teeth firmly, Elias snapped.
Jamie's anger surged, a fierce inferno threatening to consume her. Reluctant to stay in this stuffy environment, she got up from her chair.
With a fierce and firm grip, Elias lunged forward and grabbed her wrist. His voice low and menacing, he hissed, "If you leave this restaurant, I will have my mother sever all ties with your father's company." Jamie's knuckles whitened as she clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.
Drawing his hand away from her wrist, she fell back into her chair.
A young man with intense blue eyes entered the restaurant at that precise moment, I accompanied by a young woman with blue hair who was desperately holding his hand.
With shock, hurt, and curiosity all blazing in her eyes, Jamie fixed her gaze on them.
Simultaneously, the young man's eyes met hers, and they established eye contact.
"Jeff." Jamie whispered subconsciously, her lips trembling. What was Jeff doing with that kind of girl amidst all the things happening online?!
