Chapter 1914


    Some of thedies were envious of Susan’s good fortunes, but many were secretly letting out sighs


    of disappointment. Thosedies who were disappointed had wanted to introduce their sons to


    Susan and harbored hopes of bing inws with the Limmers.


    Sasha could not hold in her annoyance anymore. She mmed down her cutlery and angrily asked,


    “Sigrith, did Susan tell you that?”


    Sasha’s outburst shocked everyone into silence, and when Sigrith turned around and saw how


    grim-looking Sasha was, she was startled too. “Sasha, I…” she stammered, ashen-faced.


    “Sigrith, you should not be speaking untruths. Recently, I made a trip to Yartran to visit Ian as I was


    worried about his condition. I discovered none of what you just said happened. It is true that Susan


    paid a visit to Mdm. Bet, but it was because of Mr. Louis Limmer. She had no further


    interactions with Mdm. Bet after that visit. As for the boyfriend that you were talking about, I


    think it is another lie. Susan has never told me about such a friend.”


    Sasha bluntly exposed Sigrith’s lies in front of all her friends. She could not understand why Sigrith


    had turned into such a big liar, going about spreading rumors and boasting shamelessly.


    She wondered if Sigrith did that to break Ian and Susan up, or if she had be vain and wanted


    to boast about her daughter’s achievements to elevate her own social standing.


    Sigrith’s face turned red with embarrassment as the socialites began to throw her mocking looks of


    contempt while gossiping among themselves.


    Within a few minutes, all thedies left, and only Sasha and Sigrith were left ring at each other in


    the empty hall.


    A furious and humiliated Sigrith stared coldly at Sasha and hissed, “What is that for, Sasha? Why


    did you shame me like that in front of all thedies? Are you trying to make me leave


    Jadeborough?”


    Sasha was speechless, stunned that that was Sigrith’s main grouse. She returned a stern stare and


    said, “I want to ask you the same question. What do you think you are doing? Why did you


    knowingly spread such lies? Also, what are you trying to achieve by pushing my son into such a


    predicament?”


    Sigrith was cowed by Sasha’s stern questioning. She muttered feebly, “l-l have no idea what you


    are talking about…”


    “You have no idea? Do you want me to refresh your memory? Sigrith, the Jadesons have treated


    you well all these years. Did Sebastian and I not do everything we could for you and your family?


    Why are you doing that to my son? If you have any objections to his rtionship with Susan, you


    cane to me with yourints. Why do you resort to hurting my son?”


    Sasha was getting agitated and trembling with anger. The thought that her son nearly lost his


    memory and shut himself off from the world terrified her.

    Sigrith was stumped for words, guilty. She could not think of anything to say to fend off those


    usations.


    “I want the truth from you, Sigrith. What did you say to Ian, and why did you kneel before him?”


    Sasha demanded.


    “1-1…”


    “Tell me!” Sasha roared, and her anger caused all the helpers in the room to cower in fear.


    Sigrith trembled fearfully for a while before she finally managed to find her voice. “I… I thought their


    rtionship was a bad idea. They are technically aunt and nephew, so it will not work out.”


    “Is that so?” Sasha gave her a wry smile before adding, “Aunt and nephew huh? Is that the reason?


    If you have their best interest at heart, you should have discussed this with Sebastian and me, and


    not confront Ian directly. He is only neen, still young and innocent. How do you expect a young


    boy like to handle that?”


    Seeing Sigrith could not defend herself, Sasha stared intently at her and blurted out, “You did that


    because you were worried about Ian’s condition, didn’t you?”


    Sigrith looked up in fear, her eyes popped wide open in shock. “No, no! That’s not what it is. Don’t


    get the wrong idea, Sasha!” She shook her head profusely and hurriedly denied Sasha’s question.


    “Wrong idea?” Sasha could not help but give her a mockingugh.


    “Let’s do some analysis and see if I really got the wrong idea. Ian and his siblings were only seven


    when they were brought to the Jadesons. Sebastian and I had to spend all our energy and attention


    fighting against Eddie and his scheming plots. We had no choice but to leave the three kids in the


    care of the other family members, which included you,” Sasha said.


    “I remember Matteo and Vivian received praises constantly from all of you. Everyone in the family


    complimented them for being obedient and sensible. On the other hand, no one has ever praised


    Ian. Why is that so? Because he is aloof and keeps to himself. He has a quick temper, will re up,


    and start throwing things around whenever he gets upset, right?” She looked coldly at Sigrith and


    asked.


    Sigrith silently looked down and avoided her gaze.


    Unable to get a response from Sigrith, Sasha continued, “After knowing how Duncan met his sad


    end, Ian locked himself in his room for three whole days, refusing toe out. By then, everyone in


    the Jadeson family would have realized he is a special needs kid.”


    “No, no…” Sigrith denied.


    “No? Then, why would Susan pay special attention to Ian? Sigrith, you are good at covering up, but


    you have forgotten that what you said to your kids will be reflected in their behavior.” Sasha


    reminded Sigrith of that obvious fact.
