Chapter 1796 Shocking Discovery

There's no way these guys are going to let the siblings off.

But why is Mr. Hayes still taking it easy?

"We'll see how things go. Besides, even if she’s really about to get killed, you'd be able to help out

in time.”

Thus, Sebastian ended the discussion, leaving Karl in shock.

When he left the study, Sasha, who was out drying the sweet potatoes she had received, explained

the situation to the confused man.

“What your boss means is that he wants to see what Susan is capable of. Because sometimes, a

person reveals their true potential only in the face of danger. But if she can't save herself, that

means she won't be much of a threat.”

With that, Karl finally understood Sebastian's intent.

"And... what if she manages to deal with the situation herself?” he couldn't help but ask.

Sasha did not answer.

Instead, she glanced toward the man who began to work inside the study. Seeing how composed

he looked, she turned away and smiled.

He'll know what to do, of course.

Back at the University of Pollerton, Yasmin couldn't deliver what Susan had asked for.

In spite of that, she didn’t want to change schools, so she soon conjured up a wild idea.

On her way back to the dormitory, the woman deliberately fell off her bicycle and broke both of her

legs.

"Oh, my God. Why is Yasmin so unlucky these days? She nearly got into an accident at work just a

while ago, and now, she’s broken her legs. It's like she's having a streak of bad luck.”

“I know, right?”

lan had agreed to Susan's request to keep the construction site incident a secret, so no one else on

campus knew what Yasmin had done.

Thus, they all took pity on her after seeing her injured.

lan, on the other hand, was beyond ticked off after hearing about this.

“Forget it, lan. She's had it rough,” Susan advised. “Her brother was taken away from her, and her

father died in a car accident. Now, she’s her mother's only hope of getting a good job after she

finishes university. Let her be — for her brother's sake.”

lan fell silent.

He wanted to say something, but after hearing his aunt mention Susan's brother, he kept his words

to himself.

Because at the end of the day, he felt remorseful about what had happened to Duncan. The young

man was his first close friend, and regardless of whether he betrayed lan back then, he was the one

who had shown him how warm and beautiful this world could be.

That was why lan was still thankful for him.

And so, he took his aunt's advice.

Yasmin was certainly overjoyed to hear about this, and she immediately deleted all traces of her

communication with that anonymous person. She even changed her number.

She didn’t want to live a dark life like that.

Soon, everyone returned to their usual routines. Life on campus became peaceful yet bustling at the

same time.

“Susan! I heard you'll be taking your test. You'll be able to do your internship after that, right?”

“That's right.”

On this day, Susan's coursemates came looking for her as soon as she arrived on campus. They

looked especially envious of her, and she admitted that what they were asking was true.

Seeing that, one of the girls grew more excited. “Wow! That's fast. Do you mind telling us which

company you'll be interning with?”

“Well...”

Susan naturally could tell them it was Hayes Corporation.

Sebastian had agreed to let her do her internship there long ago, so she felt a little guilty for relying

on her connections.

Still, I'm going to do my best. I'll make Hayes Corporation acknowledge my abilities and keep me.

Thinking that, Susan headed to the examination hall.

But to her utter surprise, the young woman failed her test.

How could this be?

After glancing at the results sent to her phone all day, she eventually decided to see her professor

and find out what had happened.

"Sir, my grades...”

“I'm sorry that you failed, Susan. Your paper's right here. Have a look at it.”

The professor kindly showed Susan her test paper.

The young woman immediately began going through her answers, and before long, she felt her

stomach drop as her face turned pale.

According to accounting basics, there shouldn't be an issue with her answers.

The main problem lied with the practical accounting data on the next page.

“Sir, may I know where this practical data came from?”

“Oh, this is the latest data we received not long ago,” the professor explained after putting his

reading glasses on and glancing at the paper. “I heard it came from the finance department of the

renowned Hayes Corporation. You failed because you answered the questions from this section

wrongly.”

Upon hearing that, Susan's face paled even more.q
