Being a girl that prioritized her studies over everything else, she rarely cared about others.
However, all of that changed ever since she came across Ian.
Yasmin found herself wanting things between them to return to the way they were at the start. On top of that, she also wanted him to share all of his problems with her alone.
She would feel overjoyed whenever he looked at her, and him being cold toward her would upset her more than anything else in the world.
Yasmin really hated this side of her, but she simply couldn't help it. The fact that Ian went to his aunt first when faced with trouble left her in a really bad mood.
“It's nothing, really. By the way, you mentioned something about him lashing out at you?”
“Yeah... I thought he didn't want me accompanying him, but it looks like he was in a bad mood because of what happened in his family. Am I right?” Yasmin asked with a pout.
Susan simply fell silent as she recalled how Ian had smashed the smartphone angrily in front of her when she got back.
“Susan?”
“Yasmin, I think you should stay away from him in the future,” Susan replied with an expressionless face all of a sudden.
Yasmin froze.
“W-What did you just say? Could you say that again?”
“Ian doesn't like you, Yasmin. I suggest you stop pestering him and keep your distance from him the next time you see him on campus,” Susan said coldly before walking off.
Ian definitely doesn't like Yasmin, or he wouldn't have lashed out at me and smashed the phone like that. Heck, he even accused me of making decisions on his behalf! Wait... So, that's what he was so mad about yesterday? D*mn, why didn't I realize it sooner? I'm so dumb!
Susan smacked herself on the forehead in frustration at the thought of that. It was at that moment that she made up her mind to stop Yasmin from pestering Ian any further.
She had barely taken a few steps when someone grabbed her by the arm from behind.
“What are you talking about, Susan? Could you repeat what you just said earlier?”
The look on Yasmin's pretty face had become extremely stern and somewhat vicious in an instant.
“Then stay the heck out of my way, Aunt Susan!” Yasmin retorted and shot her a disdainful look before walking off.
Susan simply stood there staring blankly into space in complete silence.
It wasn't until everyone left that she came back to her senses and slumped weakly to the ground.
She felt like a part of her had been removed, and it left her feeling empty inside.
Having been excellent in everything she did growing up, she had never expected to be pressured that much by the Limmer family name.
It brought her constant fear and allowed others to humiliate her wherever she went, even though she didn't do anything wrong.
Susan felt so broken that she couldn't even muster the strength to get back on her feet.
Suddenly, someone came forward and stood before her.
