âWhat then?â
âThenâ¦â Susanâs face started burning up because she was blushing uncontrollably.
âYour parents⦠They donât seem to have a problem with it. Ian, I found out what happened
to you. Iâm very sorry. I didnât know my mom would do such a thing to you.â Suddenly, she
sounded so down and remorseful.
Ian fell silent. What is she talking about? What did her mom do to me?
Ianâs memory hadnât recovered, so he couldnât remember what happened before part of his
memories was removed.
However, he could tell from her tone that she was sad. Instinctively, he answered, âItâs okay. It didnât
affect me.â
Susan didnât know how to respond to that.
Right at that instant, her heart wrenched, and she started crying. âOh, Ianâ¦â
Ian heard her crying. He clenched his fists and asked, âIs your mom against it?â
Upon hearing that, Susan shook her head. âNo. Ian, donât think too much about it, okay? Iâll get her
to agree to it. Initially, I thought she should just be left out of it.
However, your mommy said we should get her blessing. Otherwise, things wonât work out for us.
Hence, Iâve decided to have a talk with her.â
âOkay.â In the end, that was all Ian could say. What else can I do? Since I donât know how it
happened, and how it turned out to be, I canât even take matters into my own hands. What if I end
up ruining Susanâs plan? The only thing I can do now is to wait. However, Iâm sure of one thing now.
What happened in the living room that day was all real. It wasnât a dream.
Ian had a good nightâs sleep that night.
The following day, when he woke up, Kurt had already made breakfast. Besides, Vivian was up as
well, and she was feeding Lotus.
âIan, youâre up! Wow! You look a lot better today. Is it because you had a good nightâs sleep?â Vivian
was still in her pink pajamas, and she was elated when she saw Ian looking much better that
morning.
Ian turned away awkwardly and said, âAre you not going to get changed? Weâre leaving soon.â
âOh! Iâll do it now.â Vivian ran off.
Soon, three of them were done with breakfast, and they were about to go to school.
âOh, right! Have you seen the news this morning?â Kurt asked when Ian was just about to get the
car.
News? Ian frowned and asked, âWhat news?â
Kurt raised his brows. âItâs just a rumor. It is said that because of the incident of the Limmer family,
there was
news from the White House yesterday. It seems like they want your family and the Limmer family to
have a marriage alliance. I donât know if itâs true or false.â
Ian went silent, and he immediately whipped out his smartphone from his pocket.
He hadnât been keeping tabs on those matters. Not only was he not interested in them, but it was
also because he had been busy with classes. Besides, he had to manage Hayes Corporation during
the weekends.
Hence, he had never paid much attention to what was being said on the internet.
When he searched for the national news on his smartphone, the first thing he saw was news related
to the Limmer family. Perhaps it was a trending topic, so it was still on the front page of the news
webpage.
âSuicide?â Ianâs expression turned grim when he saw that word in the news.
Soon, as he kept reading, he saw the follow-up development of the incident. It turned out that
someone had posted on the internet, saying that the incident had nothing to do with the Jadeson
family. So, it has nothing to do with Mommy.
One of the comments read: The person who made this statement seems to be Ms. Limmer. She
firmly denied that his motherâs accident had anything to do with the Jadeson family. So, that should
be true, right?
Another read: That seems to be the case. This is such a good way to deal with the issue. Now, the
situation with Ms. Limmerâs status is rather sensitive because there are so many people in
Jadeborough wanting to get into Golden Heights. Itâs only normal to see them dragging the Jadeson
family into this.
Someone replied: Thatâs right. As long as someone can manage to ruin the relationship between
these two families, the Limmer family will rise with ease.
The comments went on.
With the release of that statement, many people began to divert their attention from the Jadeson
family. Instead, they were analyzing the matter.
The statement was done impeccably well, and it was published at the right time.
Seeing that, Ian heaved a sigh of relief.
As he continued reading, he noticed that most of the netizens were analyzing the prominent families
in Jadeborough. They generally believed that the reason the Limmer family was so sought after was
that some people wanted to seize the opportunity to get acquainted with the Limmers so they could
rise to several levels at once.
Even if it was the power they were after, it could still bring a lot of benefits.
And along with that analysis, the Jadeson family, which
was the most prominent family in Jadeborough, had naturally become the target of their objection.
Through Twitter, it can be felt that everyone in Jadeborough was afraid that the Jadeson family
would form a connection with the Limmer family.
That morning, a rumor revealed that those two families were actually going to link up through
marriage. The netizens were astounded.
