Chapter 1776


    "Have you ever ridden on that, Aunt Susan?"


    "Yes?"


    Susan moved her gaze to wheren was staring at.


    "Are you talking about the moped? Yes, I have ridden on it.However, you''ll need a license to drive it,


    and as it is a hybrid vehicle, it will be very troublesome if it runs out of battery halfway"


    Susan exined ton patiently even though she had no idea why he was suddenly interested in the


    vehicle.


    However, when she finished, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.


    "Oh...


    "Huh?"


    Oh? What does that mean? Susan didn''t understand whatn meant, but she didn''t have the time to


    think about it for long because she was in a hurry to bring him home.


    When they arrived at the apartment, Timothy wasn''t back for dinner because he had night sses at


    school.


    After Susan prepared dinner, she andn ate at the dining table.


    "Aunt Susan, I heard that university students work when they are still studying, is that true?"


    Curious,n started to ask questions again.


    Smiling, Susan put arge piece of pork ribs in his bowl and replied, "Yes, it''s because some students


    are not from rich families.They find jobs so that they can afford their tuition fees and daily expenses."


    "What do they do usually?"


    "Hmm...Some of them be tutors or work part-time inpanies."


    Susan didn''t telln that she experienced the same thing as those students.


    Although they lived in the Ataraxy, their lives hadn''t been as easy as what other people thought


    because Colton and his wife didn''t want to depend on the Oceanic Estate for money.


    Besides, Colton hoped for both Susan and Timothy to be independent as early as possible.


    It seemed like Colton was getting ready in case something happened to him and the family one day.He


    was proven right.


    Susan and Timothy were currently leading decent lives despite the downfall of their family.


    After all, he had gotten so used to his luxurious lifestyle that he couldn''t understand what it was like to


    be poor.


    "Aunt Susan, do you think it is a good idea for me to hire Yasmin?"


    "Pardon me?"


    Susan, who was sitting oppositen, choked on her food when she heard what he said.She coughed


    continuously for quite a while before the cough eventually subsided.


    Yasmin Snow? The girl that he scolded a while ago? Why so sudden? Their progress is much faster


    than Zaylynn.


    What did she do to makene up with this idea so suddenly? Susan didn''t say a word ton, but


    she decided to investigate Yasmin at the university the next day.


    Susan andn went to the university the next day.


    Aftern left for his sses, Susan went to the Faculty of Finance and started asking around about


    Yasmin.


    She happened to bump into Jacques, the student council secretary.


    "Do you know Yasmin Snow? She''s an outstanding student with perfect grades.However, she doesn''t


    have many friends because of her personality.She''s more of a loner, I think" Susan probed.


    Jacques gave Susan a bitter smile when he heard that.


    "Right? Do you know where she lives? I''ve also heard that she works part-time while studying, is that


    true?" Susan pressed on.


    Jacques replied, "Yes, she is from Xenhall, and her family is quite poor.I don''t know the details, but I


    saw her applying for a bursary once she enrolled in our university."


    Jacques told Susan everything he knew about Yasmin''s family background.


    Xenhall? Susan''s expression changed at the mention of the ce.


    The next moment, she immediately turned and left without another word.


    In fact, Susan wasn''tpletely unaware of the Jadeson family matters.


    She was actually smart enough to notice whenever something was off with her father.


    However, her father didn''t know that she was aware of anything at all.


    Back when Susan graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, she went home two days in


    advance because she couldn''t wait to see her family.


    However, the moment she reached home, she saw someone leaving their house in a rush.


    Not long after she went indoors, she saw her father tearing a piece of paper into shreds and throwing it


    into the dustbin angrily.


    "Ruthless!"


    Colton yelled.


    After Colton left, Susan picked up the paper shreds from the bin and pieced them together.She realized


    it was a list of names of children younger than her age.


    Most of them were born in Xenhall.


    As Susan recalled the past, she went back to her ssroom visibly shaken.


    For the rest of the day, she didn''t pay attention to the lessons because she was zoning out.


    "What are you up to today, Susan? You haven''t been paying attention at all.What is bothering you?" a


    girl asked.


    "Nothing." Susan brushed her off.


    "Let''s go and have fun since today is Friday! We won''t have sses tomorrow because it''s the


    weekends"


    The girl said enthusiastically as she came over and hooked her arm over Susan''s elbow.


    Susan was still thinking of what to reply when she suddenly thought of something.


    Standing up with a jolt, she muttered, "I''m sorry.I have something else to do.See you."


    After that, Susan hurriedly left the ssroom and headed for the Faculty of Finance.If I guessed


    correctly, I mustn''t let that girl approachn.I won''t allow anything to happen to him! Susan started


    sprinting.


    However, when she reached the Faculty of Finance, a tall and pretty girl riding a moped was already in


    front ofn.


    "Let''s go to the ce you work at,n."
