Instead, his eyes were filled with admiration and respect when he glanced at Susan’s bedroom door.
He then quickly finished up his soup and prepared to leave.
“Hey, where are you going? Aren’t you going to do the dishes?” Timothy called out to him.
“I’m busy! There are a lot of things that I need to take care of!” Ian replied as he ran off.
The next morning, Ian was reading his electronic book while seated behind Susan as usual when she
drove him to campus.
The two of them zipping through the little park near the university was quite a sight to behold.
“Ah, Susan, you’re here! Professor Shaw is looking for you.”
“Oh, really?”
Professor Shaw was the person in charge of her exam, so Susan stopped her moped upon hearing that.
“You head on over, then. I’ll go to the Faculty of Finance by myself.” Ian said as he got off the moped.
“All right. Take care now!” Susan replied with a smile before giving that student a ride to their faculty.
“Your nephew sure is handsome, Susan! I heard he’s the hottest guy in the Faculty of Finance! No, I
think he’s the hottest guy on campus!” said the student jokingly as she and Susan were quite close.
Susan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that.
“What are you going on about? Focus on your studies!”
“I just want to know if your nephew has a girlfriend. If not, maybe you could get us both introduced or
something! Since we’re such good friends, it’ll make the whole process a lot easier!”
Susan deliberately put on an angry expression as she shouted through clenched teeth, “Oh, shut up!”
Little did they know, Ian had been standing there the whole time and overheard everything they said.
Yeah, this is how youth should be! Free from drama, schemes, and conspiracies… A young woman like
her should be enjoying life to the fullest and shine brightest among everyone else!
With that in mind, Ian turned around and began heading over to his faculty building.
He had barely taken a few steps forward when another moped pulled up beside him.
“Ian? What are you doing here?” Yasmin asked in surprise when she happened to pass by and saw him
standing there.
The look in Ian’s eyes turned cold instantly upon seeing her. He then ignored her completely and carried
on walking, leaving Yasmin rooted to the spot with her face all pale.
However, she bit down on her lip and refused to give up when she saw the breakfast she had bought
him.
“Ian, want me to give you a ride? We’re still quite far away from our faculty building. Oh, and I also
bought breakfast! It’s the sandwiches you said you liked! Would you like to have some?” she asked while
cruising slowly beside him.
Ian simply kept on walking without saying a word, much to her disappointment. As they arrived at a
corner, Zaylynn showed up and asked, “Good morning, Ian! Why are you walking to class? Want me to
give you a ride?”
Before getting into her car, Ian turned around and shot Yasmin a cold glare as he said, “I don’t know
what gave you the courage to continue hitting on me, but you’d better stay out of my way if you want to
continue studying here.”
Those words hit her like a bolt from the blue and stabbed at her heart like a knife.
“Why is that?” Yasmin asked while trembling all over.
“Why, you ask? Do you really need me to tell you what you did? Don’t think that you can do whatever
you want to Susan just because you know the Limmer family’s secret. Keep in mind that I can have you
silenced permanently if I so much as feel like it!”
Ian sounded sinister and terrifying like a devil when he said that.
Yasmin felt like the world around her had been plunged into darkness.
“You… Are you going to kill me?”
“I won’t kill you because you’re Duncan’s sister, but I can keep you locked up somewhere far away for
the rest of your life!” Ian replied viciously.
Yasmin’s eyes went wide with shock when she heard he would keep her imprisoned for life.
That was when she truly realized what Susan meant when she said Ian didn’t like her, and that he was
only nice to her because of Duncan.
How could they do this to me? I’m the victim here! It’s the Limmers and the Jadesons who destroyed my
family!
Yasmin thought to herself as she stood there and watched Ian leave in Zaylynn’s car.
Her fists were so tightly clenched that her nails dug deep into her palms, and her eyes were bloodshot
from anger.
A few minutes later, she pulled out her phone and replied to an email that had been pending her action
for a long time: I’m in!
