Chapter 284 - I wish I had a rich brother like you

It is a group photo, probably taken on graduation day. She recognized Maria Valdez and two of the renowned doctors in it but what caught her attention is a young man with brown hair and chocolate eyes.
It is her uncle….Thomas. Elena's husband..
"Oh…it is on my mother's graduation party. They are her friends" Jeff explained. "Why?, do you know anyone from there" he asked curiously.
Enrick looked at his sister and whispered. "Might be Thomas. He is supposed to be a student of business management not a doctor" Jean is not yet aware of his past nor his hidden daughter. But he is..
"Grey's don't know yet.. " he said softly.
Iris nodded her head and looked at twins. Jeff is waiting for Jean to answer, his mother is deeply connected to some of the people in this picture but she have never talked about her friends nor her college life. So, naturally he is curious..
"Hmm.. That middle one with silver medal is my uncle, I mean my aunt's husband" Jean explained quietly. No one in her family are aware of Thomas being a medical student, that too a top graduate.
He is really a pot of suprises that Jean intended to find soon..
"Oh, you don't know that he was a student here..right" Jeff had seen her dumb expression when she saw the picture.
"Hmm…" Jean answered.
The gold medalist is a man with Hazel hair and blue eyes, he looked very playful with his children grin. Beside him is her uncle, he is laughing at the first person... Maria is a bronze medalist but she is sulking at them. She is standing very far away from them and looked little red.
Later on Jean packed her books and left through her professor's class room. When she reached the canteen Meghan and her new friend are having dinner. Meghan looked pale and exhausted…
"Hello there" Jean greeted casually and settled beside Meghan. When she touched her friend's palm it is sweating profusely…Jean got alarmed and looked at her pale expression. She even have black circles under her eye sockets.
"Hey girl are you sleeping or not" Jean asked worriedly. Meghan takes care of her beauty as if it is her life…now she is looking like nothing but lifeless.
The other girl sitting beside Meghan looked at Jean and smiled warmly. "I am Gwen, her partner and childhood friend. I just got transferred to this branch from Country X" Gwen introduced herself.
Thinking that simple distraction would divert Jean's mind.
Jean could see past her façade. There is something suspicious by the way she acted…
Jean smiled back and started eating. She silently looked around and found some persons lurking in the shadows. They are guarding Meghan.. But why?
Because are they afraid that she would elope… as she remembered correctly, she haven't seen Jake since she returned. Where can he be?.... Kidnapped by Meghan's brother?
When she gave a serious thought about her actions, Since yesterday, from the time she returned Meghan has not been like herself. She acted restless and she was scared of something.
Even in the car she didn't talk her feelings freely... maybe her brother's subordinates were bugging them then..
"Gwen, looks like you have many bodyguards always tailing around you" Jean asked innocently but when she saw the sudden changes in her expressions Jean smiled menacingly.
So Gwen and other people has been following Meghan and that is the reason she didn't dare to talk about Jake….Jean easily figured it out that Meghan is not at all willing to marry that so called fiancée.
"Yeah, my brother is actually too protective of me" Gwen stuttered with her words. The way Jean smiled it was too deadly…
that she couldn't keep up her acting skills.
"That's good, I wish I had a rich brother like you both. Even Meghan's brother loves her a lot" Jean pretended to be greedy.
'So, there is a chance that Gwen's brother is Meghan's fiancée..' Jean thought inside.
Gwen smirked inside. What if this 'genius yet mere commoner' find out the truth. She couldn't do anything but sit quietly…she relaxed instantly thinking of Jean as a impotent friend. She didn't see Jean as a threat at all..
"Yeah we are super rich" Gwen flaunted. Only if she could see the worth value of Jean she would faint then and there.
"Oh, I never got a chance to ask your surnames. What does your brother's do" Jean asked innocently as if she is country bumpkin.
Jean felt a small paper skimmed on her palm. Meghan is secretly passing a chit as Gwen is busy in her own dreamland..
But Jean needed a short yet effective distraction to take that. So she is waiting patiently…
"Meghan's brother is Jasor Keller and my brother is Henry Williams" Gwen proudly said.
Jean really choked up the food she is eating. Those both are the companies Jean have already started scheming to bankrupt. World is indeed small than she have thought..
But it is not a surprise though…this university is the most prestigious medical school they every high socialite families dream to send their children to here.
Jasor Keller....does that means she herself is the cause for Meghan's plight here. Jean felt guilty and decided to help Jake marry Meghan.
Jean started coughed hysterically…at least she tried to pretend. Gwen panicked and sprinted towards near by stall to get a water . Jean gestured Meghan to pass the hanky from her handbag.
Meghan instantly understood what Jean is doing. She looked gratefully at Jean and hurriedly hid that paper chit in Jean's handbag before picking the hanky from it.
"You fine Jean" Gwen asked Jean casually. But her eyes are asking a silent questions to the nearby bodyguards….she is making sure Meghan didn't do anything suspiciously.
They nodded their heads gesturing that everything is fine…..
"Ah.. I am extremely sorry guys. I really got surprised after listening to that legendary names of business world. You are indeed lucky" Jean pretended to answer enviously.
How can she be jealous of that pests when she has their fate on tip of her fingers.
