"But Grandpa, won't you stay a few more days?" Yasmin asked."Nah, I'm old and picky about my bed. I can't sleep well here," Arthur said as he completed his workout with a cool-down exercise.After he was done, Yasmin helped him to the dining room for breakfast.Blake came down soon after. He looked gloomy as he sat at the table and greeted, "Grandpa.""Why do you look so angry?" Arthur noticed Blake's frustrated expression and raised an eyebrow. "Did things not go well last night?"At this, Yasmin almost spit out her porridge.Blake glanced at her coldly and said, "No."Then, he served some food to Arthur.Then, Arthur asked, "So, why the long face then?""It's nothing." Blake didn't want to talk anymore, so he simply ate his breakfast silently.Yasmin couldn't figure out why Blake was upset as well. So, she also quietly ate her food and stayed silent.After breakfast, they stood at the door as they prepared to send Arthur off.Just then, as Yasmin was turning to get i
Blake felt a headache coming on. So, he gently touched Yasmin's head and tried to explain, saying, "Men are like this. Sometimes we can't help it."Yasmin stopped crying and looked at him with teary eyes.Blake then lowered his head and tried to soothe her. "Besides, we aren't divorced yet."Yasmin's face puffed up with anger again. "We're already registered as divorced. You need to respect me instead of force me.""I understand." Blake held Yasmin and kissed her hair.Meanwhile, Yasmin was full of questions. What did Blake mean? He said he disliked her, but his actions showed that he wanted to possess her...Yasmin was baffled and couldn't understand what was going with Blake.…When Yasmin got to the studio, she asked Eunice, "Eunice, what does it mean if a man is divorced but still wants to hook up with his ex-wife?"Eunice thought for a moment and answered, "Maybe he's just trying to satisfy his desires?"Yasmin was speechless. "But he has a girlfriend. Why doesn't he g
Yasmin sighed and said, "We're already divorced.""So, you got nothing out of it?" Victor asked.Yasmin nodded. "Yeah, nothing.""Yasmin, what am I supposed to say to you? How could you take marriage so lightly? You didn't even discuss it with your elders before divorcing. I'm so frustrated with you. "Never mind, I'll go talk to Mr. Ford and discuss this matter. If there's any chance of making amends, you have to come with me to apologize to Mr. Ford. "No matter what, your father went through a lot to arrange this marriage. So, we shouldn't just give up on it!" After saying his piece, Victor hung up.As he did so, Yasmin felt a sudden chill. It was as if she was seeing Victor's true colors for the first time. She also felt desolate and bereft.It seemed that the Starr family was not where she belonged after all.However, Yasmin decided not to dwell on her family matters and focused on her work instead. After a while, she received a call from Blake."Your uncle came loo
Blake had a thing for buying pink stuff for Yasmin. In his eyes, Yasmin was like a child."Alright, get the bracelet. I'll pick her up after work," Blake said before diving back into his tasks.And when it was time to leave, Malcolm already had the jewelry ready.Blake examined the bracelet and, pleased with the purchase, he closed the jewelry box in satisfaction. Then, he got up, buttoned up his suit, and left the office.Malcolm then drove Blake to Erinnyes.However, Yasmin wasn't at the studio.Malcolm checked the time and was puzzled. "It's only 6 pm. Madam shouldn't have left work yet, right?"Erinnyes had always closed at 6:30 pm.One of the assistants then informed him, saying, "Ms. Starr left after getting a call."Hence, Malcolm relayed this back to Blake.Meanwhile, Blake's face was icy cold as he took out his phone and dialed Yasmin's number.But at that moment, Yasmin was having dinner with Victor at a restaurant.When she answered the phone, she remembered
Hector laughed. "Feeling weak?"Yasmin's expression shifted as she said, "Did you drug me?"It indeed felt like she had been drugged."I like it when women are dazed and confused in those moments. It's more fun," Hector said with a twisted smile.Yasmin's heart tightened. She tried to run but Hector pulled her into his arms.Then, he sneered and pulled out his belt.Yasmin felt disgusted. She grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it over Hector's head. Then, Hector passed out without even making a sound.Using the last of her strength, Yasmin called the police.When the officers arrived, Yasmin weakly huddled in a corner while Hector lay amidst a pool of wine. He had a big gash on his head that was bleeding profusely....It was 11 pm and Yasmin still hadn't returned home.Blake was waiting for her in the yard, and his face grew darker and darker as time passed. Eventually, he gave Yasmin a call, but the call went unanswered.Blake frowned and called Ma
"Mrs. Ford, you're the victim here. This situation has nothing to do with you. You can go home after giving your statement." Brooklyn came over to Yasmin with a respectful attitude. Only then did Adeline come to her senses. She recognized Blake and asked Brooklyn in shock, "Is that the young entrepreneur often seen on TV, Blake Ford?"Brooklyn replied, "Yes, that's him."Adeline almost couldn't stand straight and felt herself become dizzy. "She's Mrs. Ford?""Yes."Adeline's world went dark. And finally, she fainted.Brooklyn then escorted Yasmin to Blake's side. Yasmin's hair was messy and her face was pale.Then, Blake led her out of the police station with a stern expression and scoffed. "Now do you see what your uncle is really like?"Yasmin paused, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears.Meanwhile, Blake strode on ahead, not noticing that Yasmin hadn't followed him."Mr. Ford, Madam is still behind." Malcolm reminded him.Blake then turned around with a stern fa
"What happened to Yasmin?" Joel asked Malcolm. "What made Blake so mad?"Malcolm briefly explained what happened earlier to Joel.Joel was shocked and cursed, "That bastard! She's his niece.""Those gambling addicts, when they need money, they're capable of doing anything." Malcolm also hated such scum.After Joel left, Blake returned to the bedroom.Yasmin was already awake, and she rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking dazed."Are you hungry?" Blake leaned by the doorway and asked.Yasmin felt her stomach and answered, "Actually, yes."After all, she hadn't eaten anything."Go take a shower. Food will be ready in a few minutes," Blake said before heading downstairs.Yasmin was surprised.Did Blake know how to cook?She really didn't know that. She had never seen him cook before either.Yasmin then took a shower and walked out wearing a light pink nightgown. Just then, Blake came back and opened the door. He was holding a plate of macaroni and looked handsome and charmi
The next morning, Yasmin was having breakfast with Blake. Suddenly, she received a call from her aunt, Magnolia Joyce.Magnolia cried and said, "Yasmin, what's Mr. Ford trying to do? He stopped all collaborations with our company and said he won't give us any projects unless your uncle is removed from the board."Yasmin was puzzled and looked at Blake who was sitting across from her and slowly eating his breakfast."Blake, did you stop all projects with my family's company?" she asked."Do you still have hopes for that family?" Blake looked a bit upset."It's not that." Yasmin shook her head. "But if my uncle is removed from the board, what will happen to our company? Who will manage it?""I'll send someone to take over. Don't worry about it.""What? You're sending someone to run my family's company?""When we got married, I invested a hundred million into Starr Corporation. I'm the largest shareholder."Before this, Blake didn't really care about Starr Corporation because h
