Chapter 1796 Shocking Discovery
There’s no way these guys are going to let the siblings off.
But why is Mr. Hayes still taking it easy?
“We’ll see how things go. Besides, even if she’s really about to get killed, you’d be able to help out in time.”
Thus, Sebastian ended the discussion, leaving Karl in shock.
When he left the study, Sasha, who was out drying the sweet potatoes she had received, explained the situation to the confused man.
“What your boss means is that he wants to see what Susan is capable of. Because sometimes, a person reveals their true potential only in the face of danger. But if she can’t save herself, that means she won’t be much of a threat.”
With that, Karl finally understood Sebastian’s intent.
“And… what if she manages to deal with the situation herself?” he couldn’t help but ask.
Sasha did not answer.
Instead, she glanced toward the man who began to work inside the study. Seeing how composed he looked, she turned away and smiled.
He’ll know what to do, of course.
Back at the University of Pollerton, Yasmin couldn’t deliver what Susan had asked for.
In spite of that, she didn’t want to change schools, so she soon conjured up a wild idea.
On her way back to the dormitory, the woman deliberately fell off her bicycle and broke both of her legs.
“Oh, my God. Why is Yasmin so unlucky these days? She nearly got into an accident at work just a while ago, and now, she’s broken her legs. It’s like she’s having a streak of bad luck.”
“I know, right?”
Ian had agreed to Susan’s request to keep the construction site incident a secret, so no one else on campus knew what Yasmin had done.
Thus, they all took pity on her after seeing her injured.
Ian, on the other hand, was beyond ticked off after hearing about this.
“Forget it, Ian. She’s had it rough,” Susan advised. “Her brother was taken away from her, and her father died in a car accident. Now, she’s her mother’s only hope of getting a good job after she finishes university. Let her be – for her brother’s sake.”
Ian fell silent.
He wanted to say something, but after hearing his aunt mention Susan’s brother, he kept his words to himself.
Because at the end of the day, he felt remorseful about what had happened to Duncan. The young man was his first close friend, and regardless of whether he betrayed Ian back then, he was the one who had shown him how warm and beautiful this world could be.
That was why Ian was still thankful for him.
And so, he took his aunt’s advice.
Yasmin was certainly overjoyed to hear about this, and she immediately deleted all traces of her communication with that anonymous person. She even changed her number.
She didn’t want to live a dark life like that.
Soon, everyone returned to their usual routines. Life on campus became peaceful yet bustling at the same time.
“Susan! I heard you’ll be taking your test. You’ll be able to do your internship after that, right?”
“That’s right.”
On this day, Susan’s coursemates came looking for her as soon as she arrived on campus. They looked especially envious of her, and she admitted that what they were asking was true.
Seeing that, one of the girls grew more excited. “Wow! That’s fast. Do you mind telling us which company you’ll be interning with?”
“Well…”
Susan naturally could tell them it was Hayes Corporation.
Sebastian had agreed to let her do her internship there long ago, so she felt a little guilty for relying on her connections.
Still, I’m going to do my best. I’ll make Hayes Corporation acknowledge my abilities and keep me.
Thinking that, Susan headed to the examination hall.
But to her utter surprise, the young woman failed her test.
How could this be?
After glancing at the results sent to her phone all day, she eventually decided to see her professor and find out what had happened.
“Sir, my grades…”
“I’m sorry that you failed, Susan. Your paper’s right here. Have a look at it.”
The professor kindly showed Susan her test paper.
The young woman immediately began going through her answers, and before long, she felt her stomach drop as her face turned pale.
According to accounting basics, there shouldn’t be an issue with her answers.
The main problem lied with the practical accounting data on the next page.
“Sir, may I know where this practical data came from?”
“Oh, this is the latest data we received not long ago,” the professor explained after putting his reading glasses on and glancing at the paper. “I heard it came from the finance department of the renowned Hayes Corporation. You failed because you answered the questions from this section wrongly.”
Upon hearing that, Susan’s face paled even more.
