Chapter 1829

Indeed, nothing could escape this man's eyes.

Sasha's expression darkened instantly when she heard that.

“How could she do this? She's only a little over twenty! How did she turn so evil within such a short time?
Wasn't she a good-mannered and excellent scholar before this? How did she become so terrifying in
only a few months?”

Sasha was enraged.

She herself had walked through hell and made it out alive without hurting anyone else. Yet, someone as
young and as bright as Yasmin had chosen to let the negative environment shape her into someone
bitter. Within a short period of a few months, she had entirely transformed into someone new, and not for
the better.

Yasmin's actions truly baffled Sasha.

How can this be? Is it really just because of the resentment her family has? Is Yasmin aware of what we
have planned to offer her?

When the couple first came across Yasmin and noticed her brilliance, they had intended to pave the way
to a bright future for her.

Even her application for an internship in Hayes Corporation was given a green light.

Sasha was so furious that her blood began to boil.

“First,” Sebastian said, “it's the result of how she was raised. Second, it has something to do with her
nature.”

“How so?” Sasha turned to look at the man.



“Look at her family background. Ever since the accident involving her father and brother, only the girl and
her mother were left behind. I wouldn't be surprised if the mother-daughter pair had been bullied by
society. Because of that, her mother must have festered resentment in her heart and forced the girl to be
exceptional. Over time, Yasmin herself became someone bitter with resentment and someone who has
to stand out. You can see that trait of hers from her actions. Yasmin has been nothing but cold to her
peers in school.” Sebastian started to break it down for her.

Sasha nodded in agreement. “From a psychological perspective, that would be how it happened. But you
mentioned something about her nature?”

“I meant it's a trait that she was born with. It's in her blood. For example, Susan has given Yasmin so
many chances, yet Yasmin has never shown gratitude. However, a tiny offense by Susan immediately
spiked her resentment. This proves that she's naturally a competitive, defensive, and extremely petty
person. This is just her character and has nothing to do with the environment.” With that, Sebastian
concluded his analysis.

Every single word he said hit the nail right on the head. There was nothing Sasha could say that could
refute his points.

After all, it was true that being competitive and jealous wasn't a trait that was only confined to people of
poorer status. Many among the wealthy echelons shared the same trait as well.

Therefore, the environment could not be blamed.

Rather, it was one's nature.

Once Sasha understood the situation, she was even more worried.

“So what are you gonna do about it now? Are you gonna arrest her immediately? You already have your
hands on the proof that she's the murderer, right?”



In contrast to Sasha's anxiousness, Sebastian was unfazed. “Patience, Darling. There's still a bigger fish
to fry. Let's wait until it takes the bait,” he said casually.

Bait? Is he still fishing for something larger?

Sasha could not help but worry about Ian, who was in Pollerton. She did not want her son to be caught in
the whole ordeal.

That night, Sasha sent a text to his youngest son, who was at the military academy.

She wrote: Matteo, are you free these few days? Can you take a few days off?

Matteo: Sure thing, Mommy. Is something wrong?

Seeing that Matteo was willing to agree to her request without hesitation, Sasha felt relieved.

She quickly sent another text to Matteo: Just the project Ian's working on. The grand opening is
happening soon. I'm just a bit concerned that someone might be secretly causing trouble. I'd like it if you
can come back and protect Ian.

Sasha intentionally left Susan and Timothy out of the picture.

Instead, she mentioned the trouble faced by the Hayes Corporation.

All in all, the couple was as sharp as people gave them credit for. One of them knew every detail
regarding Susan and Timothy's ordeal, while the other could detect a hitch in the workings of the
company miles away.



When Matteo heard that someone was daring enough to plot against Ian, he immediately agreed to help
without a second thought.

The next day, Matteo flew to Pollerton, missing Susan and Timothy by just a hair.

Nevertheless, picking up a child at the airport was the last thing on his mind as he landed and
descended the plane.

“Are you Matteo?”

All of a sudden, a little girl of about six to seven appeared out of nowhere. The girl was absolutely
beautiful. Her big, round eyes sparkled in the sun. Her chubby cheeks were as white as porcelain. At the
sight of Matteo, she immediately ran over and hugged his legs.

Matteo was already more than one hundred and eighty centimeters tall. His eyes popped with surprise
as he stared at the kid wrapped around his legs.

Where did she come from? And how does she know I'm Matteo?

“Who are you? You know who I am?” Matteo asked, puzzled.

“Of course I know who you are. Daddy has a picture of you, and I look at it all the time. Also, it's Vivi who
asked me to wait for you here. She and Kurt will be here soon.” The girl's childish voice filled the area as
she explained with a huge grin.

Matteo was rendered speechless.

What is this? What's Vivi doing here? And Kurt as well? What's going on?

To his relief, it was not long before he caught a glimpse of a young woman in a pink dress and a white
lace hat. The young woman was sitting on top of a suitcase like a child as she was pushed along the exit
lane by a tall, muscular, and handsome young man.
