The workings of her brain were a mystery to her own pneuma.
That's what Hinduja Rao always thought.

"That land surrounding Lawrence Hall in Lovedale?" He looked up from the file on the table to meet Karim's eyes.
"Yes, Sahib." Karim nodded. "Yakub Sassoon has his eyes on it."
Mahadevan clasped his fingers together on his lap, with his right limb crossing over his left limb. "Obviously he will." He trailed thoughtfully, staring at the file.
"But there is something else that we have just dug out." Karim remarked.
"What?"
"Other than Abraham Sassoon, who is his older son, Yakub Sassoon has another child." Karim replied. "Jeremiah Sassoon."
"Interesting."
Karim noticed a smirk taking over his boss's face. "Yes." He paused. "While Abraham is around thirty-one, Jeremiah is twenty-nine, two years his elder brother's junior."
"And?" Mahadevan tapped the index and middle fingers of his right hand twice on the table surface.
"We still don't have any information about Abraham at all, leaving aside his picture, age, and nationality. Maybe because he has lived most of his life in the UK, leaving aside a few years of his early childhood." Karim voiced out. "He holds British citizenship, and he is mostly seen inside the Sassoon headquarters."
"What about Yakub and Jeremiah then?" Mahadevan got up from his chair and strolled towards the window.
"Yakub and Jeremiah are both Indian nationals. If I am not wrong, Asherah Sassoon, Yakub's mother, holds Indian citizenship too. And the most absorbing part of all is that Yakub, Abraham, and Asherah might have returned back to India recently, but Jeremiah came to India at the age of eighteen. He has done both his undergrad and postgrad in law from the National Law School, with his hands deep inside both corporate and criminal law sectors as of now. Almost eleven years; that's how long he has been in the country. There are sources that even say that Jeremiah had some background in kickboxing as well."
