Chapter 1801 Worried Old Man
Susan rejected her request in the end. “I can’t do that because I’ve already promised his parents to take care of him. You can go after him, but there’s no way I’d move out. Besides, what difference does it make if I remained in the apartment when you guys get into a relationship? If he were to be staying with his parents, would you ask his parents to move out?”
After saying that, an ambiguous smile appeared on Susan’s face. She’s pushing her luck, isn’t she?
Yasmin merely remained silent and blushed.
Indeed, she was crossing the line.
Susan left the place afterward.
That night, Susan gave the contacts she’d gotten to her people.
“Mr. Glen, please investigate this. They’re the ones who went after me,” Susan uttered.
Somewhere in the dark, an old man answered the phone and agreed, “Okay.”
Hearing that, Susan was about to hang up the phone.
“W-What’s going to happen after we’ve investigated them? What’s your next move, Ms. Jadeson? If they’re really the family of those kids back then, they’ll surely come after you and Mr. Jadeson,” the man on the other end of the phone call abruptly asked. He was also warning her at the same time.
Susan remained composed upon hearing that. “In that case, we’ll just report them to the police. If we don’t have anything incriminating of theirs yet, we shall keep an eye on them in the meantime, Mr. Glen.”
“Is that all?”
When Susan heard the old man’s question, her expression turned serious. She then warned, “If not? What else do you want to do? Remember this, Mr. Glen, don’t kill anyone anymore. Don’t worry. If those people want to kill me and my brother instead, I’ll get Sebastian to deal with them and punish them accordingly!”
Indeed, that was her attitude toward the matter. I’m not taking any lives, but if I can’t protect myself anymore, I’ll just hand them over to Ian’s dad. I’m sure he’ll protect us.
The old man still had something to add, but Susan had already ended the call.
When she got back to her apartment, it was already late at night.
However, she was shocked to see that the lights in the apartment were still on. When she walked in, she saw a tall and thin figure watching the television on the couch.
“You’re back, Ian? Why are you still up?” Susan asked in puzzlement.
Amidst all the matters she had to attend to that night, she’d forgotten to ask Ian about how the party went.
Susan then walked over to him hurriedly because she wanted to ask about his night.
To her surprise, Ian suddenly stood up when she was approaching him. At that time, he was around one point eight meters tall, and he was about to turn eighteen.
When he suddenly stood up in front of her, she instinctively took a step backward. “Ian, what—”
“Where have you been?” Ian’s eyes were gloomy, and his handsome and beautiful face was rather cold. In fact, he looked terrifying.
Hearing that, Susan felt guilty. “I-I didn’t go anywhere. I was revising at school. Did you not have a good time at the party? Or are you blaming me for not fetching you? Ian, I—”
“I don’t need that!” With that, Ian walked away with his darkened face.
Bang!
He slammed his bedroom door so hard that it had given Susan a scare.
Oh, no! He must be pissed because I’ve gotten him to join a party with so many people. Susan was filled with regret.
That night, she was worried about him, so she sent a text to Sasha, who was at Oceanic Estate.
Her text read: Sasha, I’ve gotten Ian to join a party at his classmate’s house, but he came home angry. Did I do something wrong, Sasha? Did I make him feel uneasy? What should I do now?
After sending that text, she held her smartphone in her hand and fell asleep feeling bothered.
Upon finding out that Hayes Corporation had nothing to do with her flunking her examinations, her respect for Sebastian and Sasha had been restored. Hence, she’d report back to them regarding Ian.
Back at Oceanic Estate, Sasha had only seen the text when she woke up the next day. When she saw it was about Ian, she got up immediately.
“Ian had attended a party? That’s great!” She brought her smartphone to the balcony outside to show Sebastian, who was stretching.
Sebastian merely glanced at the text and asked, “Party? Is she talking about the small party held by the Neal family last night?”
“That should be it. Since he’s willing to attend parties nowadays, it seems like we’ve made the right decision by sending him to Susan’s. However, Susan said Ian seemed pissed. This child…” Sasha couldn’t help but get worried again.
Sebastian remained silent and picked up a watering can as he gazed at his budding plants under the morning’s rays.
