Resentment sounds possible, yeah. Back then, she wanted nothing more than to work at HayesCorporation. However, ever since Maurice and Yasmin were arrested, she started to change hermind. Doesn't that mean she's starting to become aware of her identity? What other reason couldthere possibly be for her decision? I hope she's okay and knows what she's doing. Sasha pursed herlip.

Sebastian didn't really care about the matter.

However, he didn't expect his eldest son, who was capable of handling a full-fledge projectflawlessly as a student, to start treating his job carelessly after returning to the company during theholidays.

"Mr. lan didn't show up again, Mr. Hayes. I specially went to Frontier Bay to check up on him andfound him still sleeping at eleven in the morning..."

"That's right, Mr. Hayes. He's the manager of the operational department and he has theresponsibility of leading the team. This isn't a good performance at all. Sometimes, he even turns offhis phone.”

"Also, he has been playing video games in the office all day..."

Sebastian had been receiving all kinds of complaints about lan in just ten days.

It made him furious.

"Is that brat itching to get his butt whooped? Did I send him there to play?"

"All right, all right. I'll give him a call and check up on him.” Sasha was concerned about what hewould do to their son, so she decided to deal with the matter.

Thus, in the evening, lan received a video call from his mother when he was playing video gameswith his friends after waking up from his nap.

"You're... playing games right now, lan? Why aren't you at work?" she asked worryingly.

lan finally turned off the computer and answered, "I don't want to go to work anymore, Mommy. It'sboring. I want to go home."

"Hmm?" Her heart instantly softened when she heard that.

Her eldest son had always been an independent and obedient child. Ever since he was a kid, he hadrarely asked for anything from her.

It made her wonder if something had happened at his end.

"I think I should go there and check up on him. His situation with Matteo and the others is different.It is quite a sudden for him to just jump into the workplace. Did you tell the company employeesnot to give him special treatment? I'm worried he's not adjusting well."

She brought up the issue with Sebastian after hanging up the phone.

Sebastian didn't disagree. However...

"Can you leave Tillie? She's six months pregnant right now, and she's afflicted with a terminal illness.Her life depends on you. If you leave, what will you do if something happens to her?”

Sasha furrowed her eyebrows and kept mum. Tillie's situation is pretty awful right now. I told hernot to carry the child when she found out she was pregnant, but she insisted on doing it, saying thatshe wants to give that man a kid. Women can be foolish sometimes.

In the end, Sasha stayed while Sebastian went to Avenport personally.

When the news reached lan, he was freaking out a little. He thought he would be getting a few cozydays when his mother arrived. However, it turned out that his father was the one visiting him.

He had no other choice but to force himself to perk up.

The next day, Sebastian arrived at Hayes Corporation instead of going to Frontier Bay. Heimmediately called for a meeting and when he didn't see his son anywhere, he asked Luke to makea call.

"Mr. Hayes has arrived, Mr. lan. He said that if you don't arrive in fifteen minutes, you're not goinghome for the

rest of your summer vacation.”

He's a lunatic! What kind of father is he? lan swiftly got out of his bed and rushed to the companywithout washing himself up.

"Daddy," he greeted upon meeting his father.

"What are you doing? Who allowed you to act so permissively?" Sebastian was sitting in his office ashe stared at his son.

lan was sporting disheveled hair, and there were two dark circles around his eyes.

Sebastian was livid that his son looked like a delinquent in distress. How can the son I personallyraised become like this in just ten short days?

Seeing that he was about to get angry, lan, who bore the same temperament as he did, rebelliouslywalked over to the nearby couch and slumped on the furniture.

"Myself, Daddy. I don't want to work anymore. Please let me go."

"What did you say? You don’t want to work anymore?" Sebastian was so angry that the veins on hisforehead were throbbing. "Do you think this is a game, huh? Do you think you can just quit if youdon't feel like it? You're already eighteen years old, lan! You're an adult, so you need to act like one,and you can start by fulfilling your responsibilities!”

"What responsibility? I didn't choose to do this. You forced this job onto me. I never liked it, but nowyou're making me take responsibility? What is my responsibility?”

"You!" Sebastian got so furious that he almost grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it at hisson.

Thankfully, Luke was outside. When he saw both of them arguing, he quickly approached his bossand advised, "Calm down, Mr. Hayes. Mr. lan is simply in his rebellious phase right now."

"What did you say?" Sebastian was pulled out from his blinding rage when he heard that and wasstunned. Rebellious phase?

Luke continued, "That's right. It's only natural that your grown-up child has a rebellious phase. Itmeans they're currently in a transition period of their life when they're starting to be aware of theirindependence and desperately want to escape their parents’ custody.”

He even pulled out a Wikipedia page for his boss to read.

If anyone else was there to see that, they would be laughing their shoes off.

A CEO needing his assistant to tell him how to raise his son? How could it not be funny?

Sebastian was still enraged, but he stopped shouting at his son.

After he kicked lan out of the room, he asked through gritted teeth, "He wants to escape mycustody too?"

Luke was sweating bullets. "That's... just a figure of speech."q
