Zaylynn was eagerly hoping for Ian to thank her for the notes, but he didn't seem to need them at all.
Despite being absent for two days, Ian was able to keep up with the lessons just fine. In fact, he even
seemed a little impatient and annoyed at how slow the lecturer was progressing through the syllabus.
Although Zaylynn felt disappointed that her strategy of preparing the notes had failed due to Ian's high
level of intelligence, she still had other tricks up her sleeve.
“By the way, Ian, I booked you a spot for Professor Rind's lecture this Friday! It wasn't easy, but I
managed to get you a front-row seat!”
Ian turned around and glanced at her upon hearing that. “Professor Rind?”
Thinking she had struck gold, Zaylynn got really excited as she introduced the professor, “Yeah!
Professor Andy Rind is the most famous professor in this university! He used to be a leading figure of
Wall Street in Moranta! I heard he was very influential at that time!”
Andy was indeed Sasha's boss when she was working in Wall Street back then, so what Zaylynn said
wasn't exactly far from the truth either. In fact, Andy used to be so powerful that he was bold enough to
take on Hayes Corporation.
That man posed such a huge threat that Dad had to deal with him personally, and now, he ends up
working as a professor here in this university?
Ian became interested in Andy after recalling his history with Sasha. “Okay, what time is his lecture on
Friday?”
“Ten in the morning!” Zaylynn replied excitedly while holding all ten of her fingers up.
Yes! He agreed to it! My dream guy has agreed to attend the lecture with me!
As Ian had accepted her invitation, his attitude toward her warmed up a little. He even allowed her to sit
next to him in the market analysis practical session after that.
The main problem, however, was her immense lack of intellect.
“Ian, I don't know how to solve this. Could you teach me?” she asked coquettishly.
Naturally, Ian ignored all of her questions as usual.
Yasmin was attending that same class as well, and she glared coldly at Zaylynn when she heard her
coquettish voice.
“What are you doing, Zaylynn? We're in class right now. This isn't the time for you to be having
discussions. You can ask the lecturer if you have any questions,” she said sternly.
Naturally, Zaylynn wasn't about to just take that without fighting back.
“I'm not having a discussion! I'm consulting Ian on something I'm not sure of! What, you got a problem
with him teaching me?”
“You...”
Yasmin was livid with rage upon hearing that, but Zaylynn didn't seem to care at all.
She even pulled a face at Yasmin and flashed her a smug grin just to rub it in.
Since they were both girls, it was only natural that Zaylynn noticed Ian being close with Yasmin. As such,
she was deliberately trying to spite her as much as she could.
Time went by rather quickly, and the class was soon over.
Right when they were about to end the lessons for the day, news about the university's prepaid cards
being hacked spread all over campus.
“Hey, did you hear? The amounts stolen were worth tens of thousands! They say it's the girls from the
Faculty of Finance that did it!”
“Really? How did they pull off such a crazy stunt? That's so scary!”
“I know, right?”
The university's forum was exploding with comments discussing the incident.
Susan was coming over to pick Ian up after class when she saw Zaylynn and a few of her closest friends
being taken away by the chief administrator.
Huh? What happened?
As she had been busy with classes in the Faculty of Business Administration, she had no idea what was
going on at all.
“What's going on? Why are they being taken away?” she asked the student standing next to her.
“You didn't hear? Zaylynn lent her family's credit card to her friends so they could splurge on the
university's prepaid cards! Someone exposed what she did, and now they're being taken away for
investigation!” the student explained angrily.
What? Seriously? Has Zaylynn lost her mind? She's the one who will bear the cost in the end if they're
using her family's credit card! Not only has she ruined her reputation, but she also literally pays the price
for her actions!
Susan thought to herself in shock after hearing that.
Unsure of what to make of it, Susan was about to head on in when someone called out to her from
behind, “Susan?”
“Huh?” She turned around in response, only to see a pretty girl standing behind her.
She was wearing a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt with white stars on it, giving her a refreshing yet cold
appearance.
That girl was none other than Yasmin herself.
“What is it, Yasmin?”
“Oh, I just wanted to ask you why you two went home so suddenly yesterday. Did something happen?”
she asked directly.
Unlike how reserved and conservative she was when faced with Ian, she was able to be completely open
and direct with Susan.
Susan's expression turned slightly gloomy as she replied, “Yeah, something came up.”
“What happened? Is it a problem within his family? Why didn't you tell me about it yesterday? Did you
know that he lashed out at me after you left? He even ignored me completely! I've been worried sick for
the past two days!” Yasmin exclaimed angrily.
