Being a girl that prioritized her studies over everything else, she rarely cared about others.
However, all of that changed ever since she came across Ian.
Yasmin found herself wanting things between them to return to the way they were at the start. On top of
that, she also wanted him to share all of his problems with her alone.
She would feel overjoyed whenever he looked at her, and him being cold toward her would upset her
more than anything else in the world.
Yasmin really hated this side of her, but she simply couldn't help it. The fact that Ian went to his aunt first
when faced with trouble left her in a really bad mood.
“It's nothing, really. By the way, you mentioned something about him lashing out at you?”
“Yeah... I thought he didn't want me accompanying him, but it looks like he was in a bad mood because
of what happened in his family. Am I right?” Yasmin asked with a pout.
Susan simply fell silent as she recalled how Ian had smashed the smartphone angrily in front of her
when she got back.
“Susan?”
“Yasmin, I think you should stay away from him in the future,” Susan replied with an expressionless face
all of a sudden.
Yasmin froze.
“W-What did you just say? Could you say that again?”
“Ian doesn't like you, Yasmin. I suggest you stop pestering him and keep your distance from him the next
time you see him on campus,” Susan said coldly before walking off.
Ian definitely doesn't like Yasmin, or he wouldn't have lashed out at me and smashed the phone like that.
Heck, he even accused me of making decisions on his behalf! Wait... So, that's what he was so mad
about yesterday? D*mn, why didn't I realize it sooner? I'm so dumb!
Susan smacked herself on the forehead in frustration at the thought of that. It was at that moment that
she made up her mind to stop Yasmin from pestering Ian any further.
She had barely taken a few steps when someone grabbed her by the arm from behind.
“What are you talking about, Susan? Could you repeat what you just said earlier?”
The look on Yasmin's pretty face had become extremely stern and somewhat vicious in an instant.
Susan frowned as she glared at her hand.
“Have I not made myself clear enough for you?”
“No, you most certainly have not! You clearly told me to go all out in courting him! Not only did you give
me your full approval, but you even encouraged me and supported my pursuit! Why are you suddenly
telling me to stop now? What's the meaning of this, huh?” Yasmin was so mad that she practically spat
those words out.
What the heck is she playing at? She was the one who offered to help me win Ian over! She said she
would give me a chance, so why is she telling me to stay away from Ian now that I have finally decided to
abandon my pride and dreams in pursuit of him? How could she do this to me?
With that in mind, Yasmin continued with a crazed expression on her face, “Does toying with the feelings
of others run in your family or something? You Limmers hurt my brother in the past, and now you're
going to hurt me too? Are we just pawns to you guys? Is that it?”
They were causing such a huge commotion that everyone passing by stopped and stared at them.
Susan went pale instantly and instinctively took a few steps back upon hearing that.
“N-No... That's not it...” she stammered.
Yasmin maintained her fierce glare as she asked, “Is that so? In that case, why does it matter who I
pursue? Don't tell me you actually want to keep him all to yourself?”
Unable to contain her emotions any further, Susan snapped back at her, “No! He's my nephew, and I
won't let you slander us like that!”
“Then stay the heck out of my way, Aunt Susan!” Yasmin retorted and shot her a disdainful look before
walking off.
Susan simply stood there staring blankly into space in complete silence.
It wasn't until everyone left that she came back to her senses and slumped weakly to the ground.
She felt like a part of her had been removed, and it left her feeling empty inside.
Having been excellent in everything she did growing up, she had never expected to be pressured that
much by the Limmer family name.
It brought her constant fear and allowed others to humiliate her wherever she went, even though she
didn't do anything wrong.
Susan felt so broken that she couldn't even muster the strength to get back on her feet.
Suddenly, someone came forward and stood before her.
