Chapter 3 Broken
Broken The car didn't stop until it was driven into the underground park of Palatial Suite. Jeff was nervous and didn't speak throughout but the man who came to pick him up didn't stop speaking. He kept talking about himself but actually forgot to mention his name.
"We are here!" Jeff stared nervously at the exquisite underground park when he got out of the car. He still didn't understand what was going on but this man whose name he didn't know explained some things when Jeff asked if his so-called family was richer than the Hemsworth.
"Yes, your family is richer." The man's answer was short but it eased Jeff's mind a little.
"Ah! I forgot to mention my name to you. I'm Christian by name but you can call me Chris" "Oh okay, Chris" Jeff answered and couldn't help being nervous.
Chris escorted him into the Palatial Suite, one of the most expensive in the city.
In fact, Jeff had been here before years ago. It was Edward's fourteenth birthday then and a ‘banquet was held here. When Jeff got here that day, he was sent back because the clothes he wore were too shabby.
Recalling all his past experiences, Jeff felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He was too easy to control and bully but he didn't mind it.
However, he realized a lot of things when he was suddenly called a fake son in front of the people who attended his birthday banquet. They made him look like a loser in front of Tonia.
his fiancée, and even made it clear that someone like him didn't deserve her.
He was a fool for relenting on them too much.
"Young Master, we are here” Chris's voice jerked him out of his thoughts He still wasn't used to "Young Master’. So he politely told Chris to call him by his name.
"Okay! Young Master Jeff!" Chris teased.
"Just Jeff is okay" Jeff smiled awkwardly.
They were in front of a door in the VVIP section.
Chris knocked on the door before pushing the door open.
"We are here, Old Master Malfoy" Chris bowed his head when they entered.
An Old Man was seated in one of the arranged chairs in the room. His gloomy eyes lit up when he saw Jeff and he stood up from his chair.
"Is that you, Jeff? You look so much like your Father” The Old man's wrinkled face was full of joy.
"I'm Jeff, sis" Jeff replied maladroitly, a fake and nervous smile on his lips.
"Silly, just call me Grandfather!" Old Master Malfoy pushed Jeff to sit before fuming to Chris who was grinning ear to car. "Why didn't you take Jeff to get a change of clothes? Those Hemsworth family didn't take good care of my grandson.” After reprimanding Chris for a minute, Old Master asked if Jeff was hungry Jeff was really hungry, he didn't cat throughout yesterday, and today. He did't even have time to think about food. His stomach tingled lightly at the mention of food and he nodded his head.
In less than two minutes, the room was filled with the aroma of different delicacies. Jeff ate to the fullest but didn't forget his etiquette.
He lived as a fake young master of the Hemsworth family for over Fifteen years, it would be quite depressing if he forgot all the etiquette lessons he took.
"Thank you so much” Jeff expressed his gratitude.
The room was silent after Jeff finished cating. He raised his head to look at the Old Master and he caught sight of him looking at him with guilt "Old Master" Jeff decided to call the Old Man this fill he resolved the curiosity in his heart "Ate you really my family? If yes, why didu't you look for me after all these years? I just celebrated my 19th birthday but didn't know I had a grandpa or a Father.”
Jeff made sure he didn't sound pitiful, no, he wanted to know the reason why he had to live in that hell of a house for so many years when he had a family who had a limited expensive car "Jeff" The old man called, his eyes solemn. "Your Father and Mother had a relationship in the past but it ended quite tragically. Your Mother didn't inform anyone that she was pregnant but ever since she left your Father, we've not heard of her. It seems that she also had a relationship with the first son of Mrs. Hemsworth. Your Mother actually told the first son that the baby was his and when she gave birth to you, she dropped you in the Hemsworth's mansion and never came back." 01d Lady Hemsworth was a willy individual and wasn't happy when a baby was brought info the family. So she went behind his son's back and did a DNA test. The test confirmed that young Jeff was not part of their family "Your Father found out about this and didn't hesitate to get you back. Don't feel like an outsider but if you are still unsure, a test can be run” Old Master Ji added.
Jeff stared blankly and for a moment, he seemed to remember something. He once heard Edward's Father who was also Old Lady Xic's first son discussing something with his wife, Edward's Mother. The discussion led to an argument.
However, Jeff could still recall the words spoken by Edward's Mother that day.
"You had an affair with Rebecca when we were already engaged. I didn't blame you then, but now my son has to put up with Yu Jia's son? Do something and act like a real father, Emmanuel Hemsworth! Those were the words spoken by Edwards Mother that day. Jeff didn't know it had something to do with him then.
"What is my Mother's name?" Jeff asked the Old Man who looked surprised by his question. From NôvelDrama.Org.
"Rebecca, her name is Rebecea Carter” The Old Master replied.
No wonder Edward's Father was more nice to him than the other family members, Jeff thought. He didn't know he had a Mother because no one mentioned it to him. They only told him he was taken in by them when he was abandoned.
