Yasmin calmly looked at Giselle, who was hiding among the crowd.

Seeing Giselle's pale expression, Yasmin immediately knew that this incident had something to do with her.

The fact was, there was no way Giselle would ever wear something Yasmin designed. So, everything had been a setup, even from when Giselle first ordered the dress.

However, Giselle was smart enough to make others do the dirty work for her while she hid behind the scenes. That way, if things went wrong, she'd be able to escape unscathed.

This was why she could walk away like nothing happened this time, but the same couldn't be said for Roxy.

Roxy's face kept paling as she sensed the astonished gazes being cast on her. She felt completely humiliated!

Her embarrassment quickly turned to rage, and her first reaction was to slap Yasmin.

However, a pot of cactus suddenly came soaring and hit her in the center of the forehead, causing her to bleed instantly.

"Aargh!" Roxy shrieked. She spun around in a daze and saw

    Meanwhile, Erik was struggling to accept the truth.All this while, he had thought that Giselle was a smart and reasonable woman. He never expected her to do something like this just to destroy Yasmin.If her plan had succeeded tonight, Yasmin's reputation in high society would have been ruined. And as a result, his connection to Yasmin would be bound together forever as well."I didn't!" Giselle looked anguished as tears filled her eyes. "I didn't do anything. I don't know why something like this had to happen and ruin my birthday banquet. "I didn't even get the chance to play the piano or dance with Blake, yet he's already left with Yasmin."Giselle was hoping that her words would hint at Yasmin having seduced Blake.However, Erik quickly noticed something else—Blake's relationship with Yasmin wasn't what Giselle had told him it was like. Yasmin didn't seduce Blake. On the contrary, Blake seemed to care for her more than she did him.Erik suddenly felt like a fool, and

    Yasmin replied, "I said I didn't. I didn't have an invitation letter when I arrived. "I just happened to bump into Ivan, and he brought me in with him."Blake stayed silent, but his motions were gentler as he applied the ointment to her blisters. But this was something that he himself didn't even realize. "A man like him doesn't suit you," Blake finally said."I think he's quite nice." Yasmin didn't like hearing Blake talk badly about Ivan, so she stood up for him and said, "Take tonight for example—he stood up for me and questioned Roxy without ever doubting me.""That's because he wants to sleep with you!" Blake's actions became harsh again.Instantly, Yasmin's brows furrowed as she hissed in pain.Blake then examined her injuries, his expression only returning to normal when he saw that they didn't seem serious. Then, he calmly said, "Nobody treats someone so well for no reason.""I think you just don't like him," Yasmin replied."Isn't that normal?" Blake snorted. "H

    "We're divorced," Yasmin retorted.Blake glanced at her and said, "Even so, you still belong to me."His words left no room for doubt.Yasmin was completely confused now. Just what was going on in Blake's mind?Did he care for her after all?While Yasmin was lost in thought, Erik's voice suddenly rang out, "Hey, Blake. Come down for a second. I need to talk to you."Erik had parked his car in the yard and was shouting from the first floor.Blake's expression turned sour as he let go of Yasmin. Then, he simply said, "Get some rest first."Yasmin could feel his mood shift, and worried that something bad might happen, she quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "What are you going to do?""You don't need to know. Just get some sleep." Blake then removed Yasmin's hand and adjusted her blanket before leaving.But Yasmin's eyes were still wet with tears. Anxious, she ignored the stabbing pain in her feet and limped toward the balcony. Meanwhile, Blake had already gone to the yar

    Yasmin was terrified as tears welled up in her eyes. She retreated in faint footsteps as Blake approached her, her racing heartbeat pounding in the silent midnight.She was too scared to meet Blake's eyes, so she quickly retreated to the dressing room. However, Blake yanked her over to the sofa beside him instead.Fortunately, the sofa was soft, and Yasmin wasn't hurt from the fall. But she was still a tad bit annoyed. She sat up and scolded, "Blake, what are you doing?"However, she was met with Blake's darkened expression. "I stood up for you, yet you sided with him," Blake said.Yasmin was afraid of Blake's gaze and had a hunch that he would get violent. So, she scrambled over the sofa to run away.But in the end, Blake caught her and pulled her back to his side, directing a dangerous stare at Yasmin. Tears filled Yasmin's eyes as she shouted, "You're a madman!""Madman?" Blake grabbed her chin. Then, he fixed his gloomy eyes on Yasmin and said, "I stepped in to deal

    Yasmin desperately tried to break free from Blake's grasp. However, traces of anger flashed across his eyes, and he pressed Yasmin against the back of the sofa. Then, he lunged at her and closed the gap between them. "Blake…" Yasmin was stunned, and her breathing quickened.Upon realizing that Blake was in the mood, Yasmin became much more terrified."Are you out of your mind? Erik's still on the phone…" Yasmin felt embarrassed and irritated, but Blake's aggressive advances left her mind in a daze."Stop it…" Her voice carried a hint of a sob.But Blake then spoke into her ear with an intense gaze, saying, "Then tell him. Did you consent to this?""No." Yasmin refused to say it. After all, blatantly saying it out loud would embarrass her. However, Blake continued with his advances when she didn't comply.Overwhelmed in the sensations, Yasmin bit her lower lip and asked, "What do you want?""Tell him you're willingly accepting me. Cooperate with me, and I'll let you go.

    Blake countered, "You can still be my maid even though we're divorce though."Yasmin was flabbergasted. "Blake, are you out of your mind? Why are you forcing your ex-wife to be your maid? What will your new wife think when she finds out?""What she thinks has nothing to do with you. Focus on your work and pay off your debt." With that, Blake got up and left. Yasmin felt an overwhelming urge to beat him up to death. She couldn't help but slump on the sofa and sigh in frustration.How did she meet such a trash man?She didn't get any financial support from the divorce, and worse still, the jerk even demanded compensation for the bag. …In the middle of the night, Blake pushed open the door and entered the room to find Yasmin sleeping soundly on the bed. Her leg was exposed outside the blanket, and she was even unaware that her skirt slid up to her waist."You still kick away your blanket." Blake shook his head and switched on the dim wall light. Then, he opened a tube of

    But upon looking back, Yasmin realized that she couldn't do anything about it. After all, paying off the 400 hundred thousand dollars would be hard with what the studio was earning.However, once the collaboration with the NAS Group began, she could swiftly settle the debt.As Yasmin thought of this, she felt herself grow confident again. Then, she picked up a black suit and a matching tie before exiting the dressing room."Here's your outfit." Yasmin put down the clothes in front of Blake and walked away.However, Blake then quickly instructed, "Help me put it on.""Does being a maid require me to dress you?" Yasmin vividly remembered how he didn't allow the maids to get close to him.But Blake nonchalantly countered, "You're different. You're a special maid because I'm going to pay you three thousand dollars a month. Of course, you're expected to do more work."Yasmin had no way to retort to that. So, she approached him with a cold expression and pulled off the loungewea

    "Fine." Yasmin put down the cutlery and proceeded to tie Blake a perfect Windsor knot that exuded a noble air."It's done," she said with a smile and admired her handiwork.Then, as he sat down to have breakfast, Blake looked at Yasmin and ordered, "Be home by 8:00 pm sharp from now on."Yasmin was dumbfounded. She looked at him and asked, "Why?""What do you mean 'why'?" Blake frowned. "You're the maid here. Are you trying to skip work?"Frustrated, Yasmin knew she had to negotiate her way out of this. She said, "Yes, I need to fulfill my work. But you yourself know about my job—I'm a designer, and I often need to work overtime.""Just bring your work home and work overtime here then," Blake retorted. Couldn't she just draw her drafts anywhere? Yasmin was at a loss of words. She tried to come up with an excuse to reject Blake's demand. But then, she remembered that she owed him 400 hundred thousand dollars, and suddenly, her confidence to argue back was gone. In the

    Pamela thought that Yasmin's voice sounded strange, but since Yasmin was an important client, she didn't dare offend her.Politely, she replied, "It's okay. Please take your time.""Alright, please leave for now. I'll look for you once I'm finished here," Yasmin said in a strained voice."Okay." Pamela left soon after.Once she was gone, Yasmin awkwardly tapped Blake's shoulder. "Alright, stop it. You almost got us caught just now."Blake was now satisfied. A man who had been sated was no longer as surly. He became shockingly gentle, wrapping his arms around her waist and saying, "Join me for dinner later.""Okay," Yasmin weakly agreed. "Please let me go now."Blake finally released his hold on her. Yasmin's legs felt like jelly, and she nearly stumbled as soon as he let go.He steadied her and looked down at the torn train of the wedding dress. The front, however, still looked fine. He smiled and said, "You still look beautiful in the wedding dress."Yasmin glanced at the mir

    Blake didn't respond, choosing instead to stare at Yasmin. She had just removed the tiara, letting her long hair cascade over her left shoulder. This brought attention to her fair skin and made her appear as if she was an otherworldly beauty.No wonder Ivan had been mesmerized earlier. A woman in a wedding dress truly possessed a sacred kind of elegance.Blake's gaze traveled down to her chest. She looked exquisite, but something was missing—the ring. His face darkened as he asked, "Where's the ring?""I took it off when I was trying on the wedding dress. I put it in my bag," Yasmin replied. She turned around to retrieve it for him.Maybe it was the way the wedding dress hugged her slender figure, or the graceful way she bent down to pick up the ring, her hips subtly lifting. Either way, the movement exuded an undeniable allure.Blake suddenly felt an overwhelming urge rise from within him. He walked up behind her and placed his hands on her waist as if possessed.Yasmin froze

    Ivan sneered in response. "Oh? Do you want to come over and have a drink at the wedding?""There's no need for a wedding toast, but I'll send you a nice little gift soon. You've had Lizzie abducted, and I haven't settled that score yet." Blake's tone was cold and menacing.Still, Ivan wasn't afraid. He took a couple of steps forward, smirking as he said, "Feel free to try—but you should think it through. You have more loved ones than I do. "Besides your mother and Lizzie, there's also your grandmother. I could blow up your mother's hospital today, kidnap Lizzie tomorrow, and have your grandmother killed the day after."Blake's cold laughter came through the phone. "Is that so? Well then, I guess I need to send you a big gift today."The two men continued their exchange from a distance. Yasmin, who was unable to hear the conversation clearly, was trembling with fear. She was terrified of what they might be discussing.It was at this moment when Wendy hurried in from outside. She

    Yasmin stepped into the fitting room and changed into the wedding dress. When she emerged, her long hair was elegantly pinned up, and her red lips were vibrant. It made her look breathtakingly beautiful.Ivan saw her and was momentarily stunned. His gaze was unwavering as he stared wide-eyed. Then, he caught himself and smiled. "Yasmin, you look stunning."She gave a slight smile in response, adding to her allure.Ivan was almost entranced. He picked up a crystal-encrusted tiara from nearby and placed it on her head. She glanced upward, her eyes sparkling as she stood there in the white wedding dress. She looked absolutely mesmerizing, and Ivan couldn't take his eyes off her.Meanwhile, Blake watched from across the street with a growing sense of jealousy. The sight of them together made him smirk cynically. Unable to contain himself, he pulled out his phone and called Yasmin.He didn't want to see them looking so perfect together. It irritated him to no end.When Yasmin's ph

    Yasmin's heart ached as she listened, her eyes reddening. "You're doing great, Trist. If Mom were with you right now, I'd definitely give you a big hug."Tristan mumbled, "Mom, stop acting like it's the end of the world. You sound so sentimental. I'm doing just fine here. I've got friends to play with and plenty of household staff members to look after me. "You just take care of yourself in Merania, and do whatever you need to do. Once you're in Rimmervale, we'll see each other again."Yasmin nodded. "Yes, we'll see each other very soon."Just then, the door swung open, and there Ivan stood in the doorway. Yasmin jumped in surprise and instinctively ended the video call."Why are you crying?" Ivan asked, noticing her red eyes.Yasmin wiped her tears and smiled. "It's nothing. I just miss Trist."Ivan understood that being a mother made Yasmin emotional whenever she thought about her child. He then asked, "By the way, how was Trist's winter camp? When is he coming back?"Feelin

    Yasmin huffed in exasperation. "I just stole his proposal a few days ago, and now he's starting to get suspicious. If I tell him I don't want to take wedding photos, he'll be on to me for sure. If he gets suspicious, my plan will be completely ruined."Blake remained silent on the other end of the line.Yasmin sighed and continued, "It's really not a big deal. This is the last thing I need to do with him. The wedding is in seven days—it'll all be over by then.""When are the wedding photos being taken?" Blake asked.Yasmin hesitated before answering, "Didn't I already tell you? The day after tomorrow, in the afternoon."Blake only replied with a simple, "It's late. Go to sleep." Then, he ended the call.Yasmin could tell he was not all too pleased, but she really didn't want to stir up more trouble than necessary. There were just seven more days to go—Yasmin wanted to get through the final spurt safely and smoothly.…On the day of the wedding dress fitting, Yasmin was having b

    Yasmin had no idea what Ivan would do to her if he learned the truth. She feared that if she angered him, he might lock her up somewhere no one would ever find her."I did that because my grandma suggested it to me," Yasmin explained."Your grandma knows about all of this?" Blake asked."Of course. Do you think someone as sharp as her wouldn't notice that every time you visited, we disappeared for hours? She figured it out a long time ago and asked me what was going on between us.""So, you told her everything about us?""Yes, she knows we've reconciled. I even planted a listening device on Ivan. We're hoping to acquire evidence of his illegal activities." Yasmin nodded as she spoke."Did your grandma suggest that to you too?"Yasmin replied briefly, "Yes."Blake let out a soft laugh. "Your grandma is quite the master of strategies.""She really is," Yasmin agreed with a smile. But seconds later, her expression grew serious. "Blake, there's something I need to tell you.""Wha

    Yasmin's face turned pale as she realized the extent of the surveillance at the Burke residence."Can the surveillance footage from the study be deleted?" Yasmin asked at the time.The housekeeper shook her head. "It can't be deleted. The surveillance is linked to Mr. Burke's computer. His computer is password-protected, and only he has access to it."Yasmin's heart sank at the news. She knew that once Blake made his move to sabotage Ivan's project, Ivan would inevitably discover that she was involved.Hence, she had already discussed a plan with Imogen to handle the situation. Although the process had been nerve-wracking, everything had gone smoothly. Ivan seemed to believe her explanation.With the project now in jeopardy, Ivan would likely need additional funding, which meant it was unlikely that he would call off the engagement. Yasmin assured herself that Ivan wouldn't do anything drastic to her—not when he needed money from Sander International.After seeing Ivan off, Yasmi

    Ivan gently touched Yasmin's face and said softly, "Forget it. Four years ago, you did wrong by him. It's understandable that he threatened you. But don't worry, I've already forced him back to Stanton City."Soon, I'll deal with everyone who has wronged you. I'll make him miserable and ensure he has no time to harass you."Yasmin stared at him in surprise. "Ivo, what are you going to do to those people?""I won't let a single person who hurt you get away with it. However they treated you, I'll make sure they experience the same," Ivan said, his eyes dark with resolve.Yasmin took a deep breath, unable to find the right words.Ivan seemed to realize that his current expression was too grim. He softened his demeanor and asked with a forced smile, "Let me see what you bought for me."Yasmin quickly snapped back to attention and began showing him the gifts she had purchased. Since she had never bought him anything before, Ivan looked somewhat dazed as he looked at the gifts.He pic
