“Did I do something wrong?”
After calming down, Yasmin glanced at the young man with an aggrieved look on her face.
“All because I said a few words to her brother? Shouldn’t you be a bit fairer to me, Ian? Zaylynn’s the one who invited me here, but she didn’t give a d*mn about me! Have you ever considered how I felt?”
Ian kept silent.
“The boys were willing to talk to me, so I stuck with them! Is there a problem with that?” the woman questioned, tears brimming in her eyes.
Yet, the young man remained aloof.
“Are you sure you had no other intentions when you approached Timothy? Timothy is Susan’s younger brother, and he’s also the grandson of Eddie Limmer. He’s the only male descendant of the Limmer household. Did you really not have other motives?”
He stared at her with his piercing eyes.
Yasmin’s feet instantly turned cold.
Did she not have any other motives?
Of course, she did.
The resentment within her had resurfaced ever since she found herself being neglected while Susan became the center of all the girls’ attention. That was when she couldn’t help but turn to Timothy.
She was up to no good from that moment onward.
The woman was unable to say another word.
Seeing her reaction, Ian added, “I handed that case over to the police because I still wanted to give you a way out. But if you still insist on walking this path, that’s fine; I’ll personally hand you over to my dad.”
At last, he mentioned that person—his father.
Yasmin’s eyes grew wide as she stared at the young man in disbelief. It was now that she understood what it meant to experience true fear—what it meant to no longer be given a way out.
Sebastian Hayes was like a god in this country. Once she fell into his hands, her life would indeed be over.
With an ashen face, the woman watched Ian leave.
As soon as she returned to her dorm later, she removed every method of communication on her phone and computer.
Meanwhile, Susan warned Timothy not to be around Yasmin again the moment they arrived back at their apartment.
Timothy was baffled.
“Why can’t I be close to her? It’s not like she has a boyfriend!”
Seriously? This idiot’s already thinking about dating her?
Susan was fuming.
“So, you’re thinking of being her boyfriend just because she doesn’t have one? Don’t make me get you to drop out of school and go home, Timothy!”
“What? You’ll make me drop out? Who are you to make me do that, Susan? Do you think you get to decide everything for me just because you’re my sister? Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself now?”
“You!”
Susan was so exasperated that she nearly collapsed.
Ian so happened to return in the middle of the heated argument, and he stared at Timothy grimly. “She may not have the right, but my dad does.”
“I – “
“You’d better listen up before my dad comes to a decision, Timothy. If you ever talk to Yasmin again, I can’t guarantee what I might tell my dad.”
Ian glared at the imprudent man while giving him a warning.
Timothy’s face turned red in fury.
How dare he talk to me like this? Does he not remember who’s the older one here? Has he forgotten that I’m his uncle?
Unbelievable!
Still, he dared not utter a single word in response.
Susan finally began to cool down.
I’m better off leaving this in the hands of family. It’s not like I’m of any use now. Whether it was Sebastian or Jonathan, she knew that either one of them would surely deal with Yasmin.
Thus, she returned to her room.
Meanwhile, at Oceanic Estate, Sasha was dumbstruck upon hearing that Ian had called to inform Sebastian about Colton’s children.
“Is it that serious now? Ian actually called you?”
“Yeah. Timothy’s a bit of a halfwit, and Susan can’t keep him in check. It’s also not wise to tell him Yasmin’s true identity, so we have no choice but to interfere,” Sebastian replied while casually reading a book.
Sensing something off about what the man had said, Sasha put down the skincare product she was using and walked toward him.
“What do you mean by that? Did something happen again?”
“Yeah. Yasmin’s got her eye on Timothy now. She was an accomplice in a murder case that happened two days ago, but their plans were foiled after Ian and Susan did some searching. That’s why she started vying for Timothy’s attention while she was at the Neal residence last night.”
