When Ian noticed that, he sent a photo of the name list gloomily. Even through the phone, his fury and displeasure were glaringly obvious.
Susan was at a loss for words.
How should I explain this? Since that student council secretary specially approached me, I can’t possibly refuse. What happened between Yasmin and me hasn’t been publicly revealed yet.
When Susan read the message on the screen, she could already imagine Ian’s furious expression. Not knowing how to reply to him, she sent a few words back.
Susan: The school recommended her.
Ian: So what?
Susan: Ian, no one know about our conflict yet. If you contact the school and force her to withdraw from the competition, she might see me in a bad light again.
Susan’s last sentence had a pleading note.
Yeah! That’s what I’m the most afraid of. I can already feel that Yasmin’s state of mind has changed drastically. Sometimes, I’m even terrified by her. At the Neal residence the other time, she approached Timothy directly!
Susan just hoped that everything would become peaceful again.
Ian read the message in the building. Although there was still some lingering anger within him, he could sense her pleading tone. Hence, he did not say anything else.
At that moment, Kurt arrived.
“Kurt, I want you to keep an eye on someone.”
“Who?”
Kurt was a bit surprised. From his impression, it was rare for Ian, who had a very calm and rational personality, to want to keep an eye on someone so warily.
He picked up the name list.
“Yasmin Snow?”
“Yeah, she’s Duncan’s elder sister. After realizing that Susan and Timothy were from the Limmer family, she has been acting shady in the dark. She’s already responsible for someone’s death.” Ian did not hide anything from Kurt.
When Kurt heard that, he was in disbelief.
So it’s her! Is this Uncle Sebastian’s true objective in asking me to come here? Does he want me to bait all these people?
The intelligent man immediately understood.
Nodding, he memorized Yasmin’s name and face. Soon, he left.
By the time night fell, the few of them had returned to the apartment. However, Vivian soon noticed that Kurt had not come back yet.
“Where’s Kurt? Why hasn’t he returned?”
“I think he’s still dealing with the security system. Hey, you’re too much. Why aren’t you showing concern for me? I didn’t even manage to take a sip of water after coming back,” complained Matteo while answering her question. He had just returned to the apartment as well.
Vivian blushed.
Just when she was about to pour some water for Matteo, she spotted a pair of tiny hands. Natalie placed a cup of water in front of Matteo before turning around and dashing away.
“Huh? Nat?”
“Wow! It’s Nat! You love me the most, don’t you? Come here and let me give you a hug!”
Natalie had already hidden behind Ian. When Matteo saw her, he quickly beckoned her to come over. However, she was unwilling to do that.
Grabbing Ian’s shirt, she poked her head out and snuck a peek at Matteo carefully before hiding again.
“Hahaha!”
Matteo was taken with how adorable she was. His heart softened as he stood up from the chair and walked over, wanting to carry Nat over.
“No! I don’t want him to carry me! Ian, save me!” screamed Natalie before snuggling into Ian’s arms, as if Matteo was a beast.
This made Matteo unhappy.
He stared at Natalie gloomily. “This is so weird. Do I look very scary? Why is she so scared of me?”
“You don’t look scary. It’s just that your actions are! Nat is still a child. How can you be so violent? If you want to have a good relationship with her, you need to be gentle and coax her,” analyzed Vivian.
When Matteo heard that, he slapped his forehead in realization and quickly took out something from his pocket.
“Come here, Nat. Look at what this is! If you come here, I’ll let you play with it.”
Still clinging to Ian, Natalie glanced at him.
What’s that? Is that a toy?
In the end, Natalie allowed Matteo, who was as tall as a skyscraper to her, to carry her. She sat on his lap and started playing with a robot he had brought from the building.
Time passed quickly. Soon, it was time for the building’s opening. Everyone was done with their preparations as well. The media reporters who had heard about it quickly rushed over.
“Even the reporters are here. Seems like today’s event will be big.” When Ian received the news, he specially summoned Kurt over to his room and told him that.
A calm expression hung on Kurt’s face.
Actually, he wanted to ask Ian something. The main event for today is the project he’s in charge of. Why is he constantly thinking about that issue? What is he really focusing on?
