Chapter 99
I (L) + Would you go to the ball with me? Elias locked himself up after he got home, not talking to anyone. He posted an apology on his account and tagged Jeff.
Given that a lot of people had already anticipated an apology, it was preferable to make it online as well.
His Mother was worried and was even more sad that her son apologized to Jeff.
"He's going to get over it" David assured Sanya.
"Don't even talk to me! Do you know what your Father did? Why did he have to treat my son like that because of an illegitimate son? Why?" Sanya was furious as she spoke, and her red eyes showed it.
"Elias should have apologized before all this" David replied softly. "I'm really not in a good mood these days and you know Jeff helped me track the »
() + goods I lost. Jeff is not nearly as horrible as you believe." "He helped you? Then why can't he just forget everything instead of letting my son go through the humiliation." "Let's talk about this later, Sanya. A good is missing and I haven't told my brother yet" David let down a breath. " I don't know what will happen if I tell him." "You are still leaving behind your brother's shadow, David" Sanya rolled her eyes. "Although I was not particularly concerned about it earlier, do you think Duane will allow Ethan to bow to Jeff if today's events only involved Ethan rather than Elias? He would never." "What are you insinuating?! You know I'm trying my best! You know I'm doing everything I can" David responded, his voice laced with helplessness.

I () + "Well, I don't think so. If you are doing your best, why did you allow Elias to be humiliated? Why did Father make that decision? You know what, I will talk to Elias. I won't sit here and watch you all ruin my son's life" Sanya uttered, standing up to her feet.
She made her way directly to Elias's room and rapped on the door. Sanya continued to knock but got no response.
Elias stood up to open the door after some time, his face pinched and hurting from resentment. "Mom! Please, not now! I'm not in the mood for all this." ""Sulking won't calm you down" Sanya pushed the door open, entering his room. "I told you, you can get back at him later. If you are like this, how are you going to get back at him" "Grandfather is supporting him, Mother! How do you think I am going to exact revenge on him? Elias sat on his bed and spoke in a frustrated tone, avoiding eye contact with his mother. " 4
I (_) + Everyone keeps supporting him. Even Father supports him, how can I get back at him." Do you really believe that harboring your anger will make you happy? Remember that you are also a Malfoy, a famous person, a music idol, and an intelligent guy," Sanya said. "You are not alone, Elias. We just have to think of something." "He took my work, my grade in school, and the girl I like! I really hate him, I want him to kneel in front of me likeI did today. I want him to cry and beg me.
"What girl did he steal from you? Why didn't you tell me any of this." "Why should I share my feelings with you, Mom? I'm a man and sometimes, I need to sort things out myself" Elias replied.
"Who is that girl?" Sanya asked. " Shawn once told me you liked Jamie Scavo. Is it true?"
EEE“ A () + "That Shawn! Who sent him?!" "If it's true then you can definitely get her back." "Really, I can get her back?" Elias questioned.
"Yes, but you must pay attention to what I have to say." A cunning smile flashed across her lips as an idea suddenly dawned on her.
= Liam and Billy listened to the recording Jeff recorded at the police station. "Wow! I can't believe someone like Elias would actually kneel down to beg you." "That serves him right! If his Fans know that he sent hired men to take you down, he's really going to be done for" Liam commented.
"Have you heard from Jamie?" Jeff inquired abruptly.

As Billy continued to 80 through the photos and videos Jeff had taken at the police station, his own Phone rang. He dropped Jeff's phone, reaching out for his phone.
He leaped up, staring at his phone in a catatonic stupor. His hand trembled and he gulped down his spit.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Liam asked, seeing Billy's reaction.
"Billy, what happened?" Without answering any of their questions, Billy snatched e ue Bag 4

"Do not worry about him, he acts differently sometimes." Billy occasionally acts in such a way, so Jeff and Liam did not give it much thought.
"Who are you going to take to the Star Ball?" Liam asked. "I have this girl I like but I'm not sure if she will say yes. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
It really irritates me that you have to bring a date to the ball in order to get inside." "Are you serious?" Jeff arched a brow.
"T thought it was only compulsory to attend. Why must we bring a date along?" "The rules of the school," Liam chuckled. "So who are you going to ask to the Ball? Emily?" "She is not even attending this school." "What about Jamie? She would love to go to the ball with you."
{) + "Maybe. It's just a Ball anyway. Let me ask her now" Jeff said, picking up his phone from where Billy dropped it.
He dialed Jamie's number. Jamie's voice finally came through the phone after a few rings.
"Hey, Jeff" She greeted. "I'm really sorry for not calling. I was busy and I didn't know what to say." "Oh, it's okay. You were busy, I knew that," Jeff answered. "I actually called to ask you something." Liam was smiling, wondering how Jeff managed to look so good.
"What's that? I'm coming back tonight though." "Would you go the Ball with me?" With a note of anticipation and coolness in his voice, Jeff questioned.
Jamie hesitated for a few seconds, her only sound coming from her breathing.

"I'm sorry, Jeff. Someone already asked me and I said yes. I'm sorry" Jamie answered, her tone laced with sadness.
Jeff really didn't expect that answer from Jamie because he thought Jamie didn't really have friends except himself and Liam.
"Oh. Who are you going to the dance with? Is it someone I know?" "It's Elias. I'm going with him." = i S SUPPORT
