Chapter 1793 Let You Off
Yasmin immediately shuddered at the sight.
But she quickly composed herself as a mixed feeling of hatred and resentment brewed within her, causing her emotions to run wild.
“Did I say anything wrong? Her grandfather killed so many people! Why do she and her brother still get to live comfortably?”
Ian fell quiet.
“Look at how many families were destroyed just because that b*stard snatched their children, Ian! And how many more died because of his ridiculous dream? Why does Eddie Limmer get to have descendants even after all the horrible things he’s done?”
By the last sentence, Yasmin was screaming at the top of her lungs.
Ian continued to say nothing, but a look of never-before-seen disappointment appeared on his face, and the air around him turned terrifyingly cold.
“Mr. Ian?”
“Hand her over to the cops. Let them deal with her.”
That was all the disheartened young man could say before getting up to leave, as though there was no one in front of him.
Yasmin immediately grabbed onto him in horror upon hearing his words.
“Don’t hand me over, Ian. It’s over for me if I’m taken to the cops,” she begged, tears trickling down her cheeks as panic began to set in.
Yet, the young man merely shot her an icy glance.
“What about my aunt, then? If she weren’t so smart, she would’ve been dead by now. You need to be taught a lesson, Yasmin, or you’ll only keep going down the wrong path.”
With that, he freed himself from her grasp and left mercilessly.
If this woman refused to reflect on her deeds and continued to believe she was doing the right thing, letting her off now would only hurt her.
Everyone has the right to live without being persecuted illegally.
Why, then, should Aunt Susan be an exception?
Even if someone commits a serious crime, no one can take away any of his children’s rights to live. Who does Yasmin think she is to be able to say that?
What makes her any different from Eddie Limmer?
Every life should be respected.
By the time Ian returned to the hospital, Susan had already woken up.
“Ian, is… is everything okay at work?”
That was the first thing she had in mind, despite having just regained consciousness and looking extremely unwell, her face remaining swollen too.
Ian hurriedly stood next to her. “Everything’s fine. What about you? Are you feeling any better?”
He gazed at her with concern, unable to hide the worry in his pitch-black eyes.
Susan grinned.
“I’m okay. Just a few external injuries. Don’t worry about me, Ian.”
After scrutinizing her and making sure she was really fine, Ian walked away, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her.
When she had taken a sip, the woman watched him sit back down, looking less anxious.
“I heard from Timothy that you locked Yasmin up,” she said while holding her glass.
“I did,” Ian admitted. “She was behind this. I can’t forgive her for doing such a thing to you, so I handed her over to the police.”
“What?”
Susan hastily sat up as she heard that.
“Ian, don’t. Her life will be ruined if you let the cops deal with her.”
For some reason, the woman was actually helping Yasmin.
With some traces of fury left within him, Ian stared at her. “But how could I ever let her off after she’s done something so wicked? I talked to her after that, but she wasn’t sorry at all. She even thinks she did what was right! If I don’t hand her to the police and teach her a lesson, she’ll come after you again one day!”
The young man finally spoke from his heart – he just didn’t want his aunt to get hurt anymore.
Besides, given how blinded by revenge Yasmin was now, there was certainly a possibility she would act again.
Susan gazed down at her glass, where the water remained hot.
“I know you’re worried about me, Ian. But I’m still Eddie Limmer’s granddaughter, and there’s nothing I can do to change that. That’s why I understand why she hates me. Forgive her if you can. I don’t mind making it up to her if that’s what she wants.”
“Aunt Susan!”
Ian was instantly livid.
Making it up?
She’s not Eddie! Why should she have to pay for his sins? Is she stupid?
The young man’s face flushed in anger.
Even so, due to his aunt’s insistence, he eventually agreed not to send Yasmin to the police, but to let her off instead.
However, he decided to settle for the next best option, which was to personally request to have Yasmin transferred to a different university.
After Yasmin received word about this, she went looking for him at the library.
