Guess the category, stepmother.
Hearing the Scavo family name, Jeff gave Arlina a cold stare. Arlina felt the effect of the stare, and for a split second, she was speechless.
Although she had prepared some words for him when she arrived, they vanished from her presence as though they had never existed.
She can’t wait to divulge all Jeff’s atrocities to the Malfoy Family and they will eventually know that she was right all along. They will know that the fake son they brought from Arty City is a trickster and a wicked person.

“The person I kidnapped?” Jeff scoffed at her words. “Are you shameless or you are pretending to be?! You just barge in here and start accusing me of
kidnapping someone! What the hell are you talking about.” “Are you going to continue denying I it?” Arlina uttered, her voice not as harsh as before. “You thought your evil deeds would be hidden forever, right? Wait till the Scavo Family knows what you did by almost killing him and framing someone else for it.” “Now that’s a huge story you’ve got there” Jeff picked up his bag. “If you have nothing left to say, leave. Don’t even worry, I will leave!” “Don’t you dare leave! I’m still your Elder” Arlina lost her temper. “Where is Ricky? Did you kidnap him because he caused your accident?” “What Ricky? Who is Ricky?” Jeff frowned. “If you… Oh wait! Do you mean Ricky Scavo? I kidnapped him
because he caused my accident? Did he cause my accident? What are you even saying?!” J “Don’t try to feign innocence. Aren’t you trying to do the same thing you did to the Scavo Family to our Family?” Arlina asked, her voice laced with contempt. “Just tell me where he is and leave Starry City immediately after. I won’t tell the Old Master about this.” Jeff was about to reply when his phone rang, breaking the rising tension in the hospital room.
The caller was Spooky.
“Hey, Kid. We got the person behind the accident” Spooky’s hoarse voice could be heard. “According to Smartie, he is an idol singer and also a member of the Scavo Family. Aren’t your
friends members of the Scavo Family?” Spooky spoke briefly with Jeff, inquiring as to whether it would be alright to turn him over to the police.
Jeff’s face contorted into a mask of rage, brows furrowed and his lips curled into a snarl. “I will talk to you later, thanks.” After the call ended, Jeff’s gaze landed on Arlina. “Did Ricky’s Mother asked you to do this?” Jeff realized the situation after Spooky’s phone call. Grace may have searched for Arlina upon realizing that something was definitely off, and Arlina, who was eager to get rid of Jeff, may not have been able to come up with a better opportunity following
Grace’s visit.
Of course, Grace told Arlina a different { story and the latter believed it. Why would Grace lie to her? Besides, Grace did not know Jeff was a secret son of the Malfoy family; she was just asking for assistance.
Grace told Arlina that a young man of about nineteen years old was brought in as a doctor to treat the sick Old Master of the Scavo Family.
Nevertheless, he had evil intentions and attempted to exacerbate the Old Man’s condition in order to extract money.
Ricky wanted to save the Old Master but the situation was interpreted to be something else and the young Doctor framed her precious son.
At first, Arlina didn’t understand why
Grace was telling her this but after Grace said, “He’s probably trying to collect more money and deceive the family. It will be very helpful if we can reveal the truth about him or force him to vanish.” Grace really wanted the ‘disappear’ part but she needed something to gain Arlina’s attention.
And fortunately…
Arlina immediately thought that if the Scavo Family joined hands with the Malfoy Family, wouldn’t that be beneficial to the Family and herself? And everyone will respect her, especially the Old Master of the Malfoy Family.
“Yes, she did and she even asked me to expose you’ Arlina answered, her voice sufficed with anger. “But for Family’s
sake, I will let you go if you tell me where Ricky is and if you promise to leave Starry City forever.” Arlina was so sure that Grace was right after the latter’s words.
“My son was so desperate and wanted to save the Scavo Family. He ended up doing something bad to the young doctor and now, he has kidnapped my Son.” Those were Grace’s words.
Before Arlina confirmed her suspicions, she asked a few more questions from Grace and it finally matched her suspicions. She immediately agreed to help Grace.
To her, it was killing two birds with one stone.
Hy : You are not pretending to be shameless, Stepmother. You are the
real definition of shameless” Jeff exclaimed with disbelief. “You heard that someone almost killed me, not only me, my Teacher! But you came here to ask me if I have kidnapped him.
After he tried to kill me?!” Jeff’s words ground out with the authority of someone who is not to be trifled with. The stepmother, who had never spoken to him before, has truly taken him by surprise with her boldness.
Frankly, Jeff did not care either way she felt about him being a member of the family. Old Master Malfoy cares about him and that’s enough. But now, she’s accusing him because of false words she heard from a deranged mother! Jeff’s words struck Arlina and for a

moment, she couldn’t speak.
“I’m usually not the bad type of guy, I you know” Jeff uttered and sat on the bed after he felt a sharp pain from standing. The injury was weakening him. “I respect those who respect me, love those who love me, and mess with those who mess with me. And guess the category you fall into, stepmother.” Jeff’s sudden change shot a shudder down Arlina’s spine. She felt as though the air was suffocating her for a brief period of time. She was so desperate to say something, but she was unable to speak.
And for the first time in Arlina’s life, she felt fear.
