Chapter 1829

The Love that Never Really Dies

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 50?” 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 lan, 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 lan'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 lan.

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 lan, 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.q
