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
"The mistress is here! Everyone, get her!" Giselle's fans yelled when they saw Yasmin.Yasmin couldn't block the door anymore, and a slit appeared in between the two doors.One of the fans reached in and grabbed Yasmin's hair. "You whore! Get out here!"Yasmin felt the pain tugging her head. Yet, with an unexplainable surge of strength, she stepped forward and pushed the door shut with all her might. As a result, the fan's arm got caught in between the doors. "Ah!" She cried out in agony and backed away.Meanwhile, the rest of the people were in a frenzy too. "You bitch! You're the mistress, yet you have the audacity to hit other people? Everyone, let's get that mistress!" The mad mob rushed at the door and forced it open again.Yasmin and Eunice were thrown back a few steps.Eunice wanted to protect Yasmin, but she was no match for the crowd. Someone then pulled her to the back as the fans surrounded Yasmin."Hah! You mistress! You finally came out to face us!" The cr
The one who had spoken was the girl who had grabbed Yasmin's hair.Blake coldly shot her an intimidating gaze and said, "You're the one who pulled her hair just now, aren't you?"Blake had seen it happen through the live stream.The girl was shocked and explained, "I was avenging Giselle.""Who are you to avenge Giselle?"The girl choked up, unable to give him an answer. She wasn't Giselle's friend. And aside from being her fan, she had no connection to Giselle.Blake turned and told the head policeman, "These people have all committed the crime of hooliganism. Officer Jenkins, please bring them to the police station. No compromise."Upon hearing that, the fans were stunned, shocked, and frightened.They were all 18 to 19-year-old students, and they had charged at Yasmin to avenge Giselle. So, how had they ended up committing a crime?"Mr. Ford. Are you mistaken? We came on your girlfriend, Giselle's, behalf. This woman pushed her down while she's pregnant. Don't you feel sorr
Giselle immediately phoned Blake.…At that moment, Blake was at Oak Garden. The family doctor had arrived and was treating Yasmin's wound.Blake received Giselle's call and walked out of the room, "What do you want?""Blake, I heard that my fans went to cause trouble at Erinnyes," Giselle said gently. "I heard that they'd been arrested. Could you let them off?""If you knew that they would cause trouble, why didn't you stop them earlier?" Blake's voice was cold. "Or did you instigate your fans to go and cause trouble for Yasmin?""How's that possible?" Giselle felt guilty. She bit her lip and said resolutely, "I didn't look at my phone because I was busy taking care of Anna at the hospital. "I didn't know about any of this, and Annie only just told me that the fans were arrested because of this matter. Moreover, they're all 18, 19-year-old students. It's not good for them to have a criminal record.""They deserve to be punished for their mad and unruly behavior. Only then t
After dealing with the matter, Blake went back to the bedroom.By the time he returned, the family doctor had finished treating and bandaging Yasmin's wound.At that moment, Yasmin was on the phone with Ivan.Ivan had seen the news online and had phoned her. "I just saw the news that you were attacked by Giselle's fans. How are you?" he asked.The livestream had abruptly ended when the policemen appeared, so no one online knew what happened after that."I'm fine for now," Yasmin said gently.Ivan said, "That mob was crazy, and their comments were abominable. I've asked someone to help you delete the Trending News."Summer had been tasked to do so. Yasmin felt moved. "Thank you, Ivo.""It's a small matter. After all, our mothers were good friends. And since you don't have any relatives to look out for you, I should be looking out for you instead," Ivan said warmly.This seemed like something an older brother would say, and Yasmin had always wanted an older brother. So, whe
Yasmin ruthlessly bit down hard on Blake's tongue.Upon feeling the pain, Blake let go of her, and a sliver of blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.He wiped the blood away with a dark expression. "Why do you like biting people so much?"Yasmin saw the foreboding gloom in Blake's gaze and was slightly frightened. She wanted to back away, but Blake gripped her head and bit down hard on her collarbone.He left deep tooth marks on her skin, causing it to bleed.Yasmin scrunched her eyebrows up in pain. "Blake, let go of me. You're hurting me…"But Blake wouldn't let Yasmin go and even restrained her hands to the top of her head. Then, he bit down even harder and used his tongue to gently caress the wound. It made Yasmin tremble in fear and pain.Then she heard Blake say, "You bit me once, and now I'm biting you back. It's only fair."Yasmin wanted to give Blake the death stare, but her eyes were red-rimmed and didn't look the least bit threatening. On the contrary, it m
