Chapter 1800 I Will Look After Him
Yasmin was stumped. “W-Why?”
“Because you’ve already made a mistake last time around. You don’t want such a thing happening again, do you? Yasmin, you won’t get too many chances in life. I urge you to appreciate the good things you have now,” Susan warned sternly while standing at the door.
It seemed like she’d just gotten serious by then. There was no look of mockery in her eyes. Instead, she looked stern and threatening.
Indeed, she wasn’t going to keep giving her chances.
It was really a rare opportunity for Yasmin to be able to live in peace. Perhaps others were unaware of it, but Yasmin and Duncan knew that their father had died trying to get away from the Limmers.
Hence, there was no reason for Yasmin to keep doing anything foolish and heading back toward the darkness.
Susan left the student council after that. When she was heading back, she received a text message from Yasmin saying: I’m sorry. I was the one who did it.
To which Susan replied: It’s all right.
Ultimately, that was all she had to say to her.
Almost immediately after Susan replied, Yasmin rang her on her smartphone.
“D-Do you not blame me?” Yasmin asked.
“Why should I? You were forced to do so, weren’t you?”
A moment of silence ensued.
Then, Susan started hearing the person sobbing on the other end of the phone call. In fact, she could hear how remorseful and aggrieved Yasmin was.
“I-I’m so sorry. I really didn’t mean to. All I wanted to do was to stay here, but they told me that if you were to intern at Hayes Corporation, you’ll get closer to Ian. I-I couldn’t accept that, so I’ve secretly slotted the data they had given to me into the exam papers.” Yasmin was crying out of breath.
I wonder what she has gone through all this while. Perhaps it’s not even an exaggeration to say that she’d gone through hell. She was just a girl living a normal life when she suddenly found out that her brother was kidnapped and had a microchip transplanted into his brain. After that, he’d died because of that old b*stard’s business. How could she not be seething about that? Not only that, but her father had also died in an accident because of that matter. Hence, it’s only normal that she’d lost her cool in the end and got taken advantage of by that group of people. Fortunately, she’d just started, so she still has a conscience. Susan waited patiently for Yasmin to vent her frustrations before asking, “Now, will you tell me how to contact those people?”
“W-What?” Yasmin was bewildered. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“If you don’t tell me, they’ll just keep pestering you. Yasmin, if you want no part in this mess, you should let them come at me directly. I’m the one they’re targeting, you know?” Susan explained.
Upon hearing that, Yasmin was a little perplexed. “They’re going to kill you. Aren’t you terrified?”
“How is being scared helpful? The only way I can deal with it is by facing them. Also, I know you’ve done it mainly because of Ian. You’re into him, aren’t you?” Susan suddenly brought the matter up.
In that split second, Yasmin was blushing uncontrollably in the office. “I-I’m not.”
“I can tell, so you don’t have to deny it. It’s okay, though. You should fight for him if you like him. Ian is a great guy. He was rather blissful when you guys were together. Besides, you’re Duncan’s sister, so he’ll have different feelings toward you.”
Yasmin was surprised to hear that. Did she just advise me to fight for him? She sounded sincere when she told me to approach Ian once again!
Yasmin froze momentarily before asking, “A-Are you serious?”
“Yes, I am. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong. It’s just that I-I thought you were into him!” Yasmin finally blurted out what was on her mind.
Indeed, the phone call went dead silent after she said that.
Apart from the buzzing sounds in the phone call, it was so silent that they could hear each other breathing.
“Susan? Are you there?”
“Yasmin, I don’t understand how does your mind work. Don’t you know he’s my nephew? Are you sure you’re thinking clearly?” Susan finally voiced.
Yasmin was shocked by how incomprehensible Susan was. She sounded annoyed as well!
Once again, Yasmin was stunned. “But he’s not your biological nephew, is he?”
“So what? He’s already been addressing me as his aunt for the past ten-odd years. Are you trying to be funny?” Susan finally broke into a smile after feeling rather flustered. She’s ridiculous! How could I be in love with my nephew? What is she thinking?
With those thoughts in her mind, she was about to end the call.
Right then, Yasmin said, “Since that’s the case, I’m going to go after him. I’ll confess everything to him and come clean. Susan, will you move out of the apartment, then? I’ll look after him from now on!”q
