Yasmin was a little scared, but she talked herself into staying calm and continued cleaning Ivan up.The nurse had asked her to clean up the filth and check for other injuries. So, she followed the nurse's instructions and meticulously took care of Ivan. In the end, Blake simply left with a grim expression on his face.…The next day, the storm was reported on the news. Apparently, the storm merely passed over Stanton City and was moving toward the other coastal cities instead. However, it did destroy most of the trees. So, many trees were uprooted and blocking the road.Blake was in the car as he listened to the news. And it just so happened that the news mentioned an incident at the back of the mountain of Newphoria Bay.The broadcast mentioned a man and a woman trapped among the fallen trees. A tree had struck the back of the man, and the woman, despite the difficulty, had dragged him out of danger.Malcolm immediately said, "That must be Mrs. Ford." Blake wore a stern
In the hospital, Ivan finally woke up."Are you still feeling dizzy?" Yasmin asked. She had just learned that Ivan had had a minor concussion from the doctor's report. But other than that, there was nothing serious."Yup, a little." Ivan held his head, looking pale.Yasmin quickly put two pillows on his back. "You'll feel better leaning on the pillows." Then, she said, "The doctor mentioned you suffered a minor concussion, so the dizziness is expected. He also advised you to stay in the hospital for a couple of days.""Alright." Ivan nodded. "Did you look after me in the hospital last night?"Yasmin nodded. "I don't have the contact details of your family, so…""My family is in Merania," Ivan replied.Feeling guilty, Yasmin said, "I'm sorry, Ivan. It's all my fault. You wouldn't have gotten injured if you hadn't protected me from the falling tree.""Don't worry about it. I would've stepped in even if it was someone else." Ivan patted her head.Just then, Blake entered the wa
That sentence alone was enough to spread a chill across Yasmin's body. She looked over at Blake as he repeated the same words, "Go back with me."Yasmin took a deep breath. Then, she said to Ivan, "Rest well, Ivo. I'll visit you again tomorrow.""Alright." Ivan remained composed and gave her a gentle smile.Yasmin then followed behind Blake as they exited the ward.She was surprised that Blake would use her father to threaten her. And at the same time, she was also disappointed—as long as her dad was in prison, she would be shackled.After getting into the car, they left the hospital.No one spoke on their journey back. Yasmin refused to say anything and merely leaned against the car window with her eyes shut. As they arrived at Newphoria Bay, Mary came out to greet them, "Welcome back, Mr. and Mrs. Ford. Dinner is ready. Please help yourself while it's still warm."But Blake didn't respond to her and merely walked toward the dining room.Yasmin, on the other hand, didn
Yasmin shook her head and said, "No, Ivo got hurt because of me. I want to go and take care of him."After all, Ivan's mother was her mother's best friend. She wanted to find out more about her mother from Ivan.Blake frowned deeply. "I said you're not allowed to go.""But I want to go." Yasmin insisted.Blake scoffed. "Looks like you're determined to make me jealous, aren't you?"He had already told her that Ivan had hidden motives. Yet, Yasmin not only refused to listen to him, but now she wanted to get closer with Ivan too?Yasmin had no explanation for Blake, so she simply ignored him and jerked her head away.Blake then fiercely pinched her chin. His gaze turned dangerous as he said darkly, "If you go, your father will never come out of prison."After saying this, he let go of her and strode out of the room.Yasmin's chin hurt. She touched her chin with an obstinate expression on her face.Today's incident made her realize that she couldn't always follow whatever Blake
Blake's rough hands forcefully brushed against Yasmin's fair skin.Yasmin's eyebrows scrunched up in pain. "Blake, let go of me."But Blake stuck himself to her, as hot as a furnace, and wildly bit her neck.Yasmin was bitten until she was trembling all over, and red and purple marks had appeared on her skin. Despite struggling with all her might, she was powerless against him.Meanwhile, Blake was still in his loungewear. He had one hand encircling Yasmin's slim waist, while the other hand was caressing her body. Yasmin was shivering, and her face was as red as a tomato. But her trembling only served to stimulate Blake even more, causing him to tightly clutch her waist and work his hands down her waist.As Yasmin lay on the bed under the moonlight, she looked slender and beautiful, and her skin was as white as snow. Her red-rimmed eyes also added a certain charm and allure that could draw any man's attention.…The sky slowly brightened as dawn approached.However, Blake w
Roxy turned and glanced at Ivan, who was already fussing over Yasmin."Yasmin, come here. Don't get too close to her," he said.But Yasmin wasn't afraid of Roxy. She looked up and coldly glared at her. "Roxy Ford, if you dare hit me here, I will call the police on you for violence."Suddenly, Roxy felt a surge of hatred toward them. She said to Ivan, "Ivan, how can you treat me like this? My mother told me this morning that the Ford family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Burke family. We need to choose an engagement date!" Upon hearing this, Ivan's handsome face hardened. "I never agreed to that.""Do you have any say in this? Will a family as big as the Burkes allow you to marry a second-hand woman like Yasmin?"Roxy pointed at Yasmin and said haughtily, "Yasmin Starr, if you had any sense in you, stay away from Ivan. Our two families will soon be joined in a marriage alliance and Ivan will soon be my fiancé. "If you keep getting close to him, don't blame me for
If Ivan married Roxy, he would lose the chance to compete with Isaac because Roxy had no real influence. Thus, Isaac would definitely want them to go on with the marriage.Ivan had a premonition about all this. Hence, he needed to figure out how to break off this engagement. He couldn't do it too abruptly, or else Isaac would suspect him. So, he would do it in secret. …Yasmin had driven to the hospital, so she went to the ground floor where her car was parked."Where are you going?" Blake asked coldly and grabbed her hand.Yasmin glanced at him. "Coming to the hospital to cause trouble for me in broad daylight? You're pathetic.""How did I cause trouble for you? Explain."Yasmin said, "I don't want to talk to you. I'm leaving. Let go of my hand.""You're mad at me because I didn't allow you to come and visit Ivan at the hospital?" Blake questioned her coldly. Yasmin wanted to deny it. She hated how Blake was here at the hospital accusing her of flirting with someone
Yasmin looked at a few messages and became upset at how she was being cursed with hurtful words. She put her phone face-down on the table, not wanting to look at it anymore.Suddenly, a commotion was heard from outside the large building.Eunice went to the window to investigate the source of the noise and saw Giselle's fans gathered outside.They were holding banners and calling Yasmin a mistress, demanding her to come out to apologize.Eunice frowned and said, "Yaz, don't go out. A mad mob of Giselle's fans are outside."Yasmin frowned.How did it become like this? Who had uploaded the video? Just then, the commotion outside grew louder. Some fans then rushed into the building, and the mad mob burst in.Eunice paled. She told Yasmin before running downstairs, "Yaz, they've burst into the building. Don't come down. I'll go and lock the studio door."Eunice then ran to the entrance. But before she could lock the door, some fans had already rushed in and surrounded the e
