"Probably. I guess Giselle really knows how to get on people's good side. My mother-in-law can't wait for her to get married to Blake," Yasmin said.

"What are you going to do then?" As an unmarried woman, Eunice was at a loss as well.

Yasmin replied nonchalantly, "It's better to just end things. Marriage has been exhausting, and I miss being single."

"Can you let go of Blake though?" Considering everything that Blake had done lately, even Eunice was starting to feel touched.

But instead of answering her question, Yasmin picked up a pen and started sketching. "Let's stop talking about this. I have work to do."

Eunice stared at Yasmin, sensing her friend's unhappiness.

However, she didn't know what to say and could only quietly leave the room.

That night, Blake returned to Newphoria Bay after getting off work.

"Welcome home, Mr. Ford," Mary greeted, taking Blake's coat.

Blake calmly asked, "Where's Yasmin?"

"She hasn't returned yet."

Blake paused before saying, "You can

    Besides, Yasmin was tired of Blake and Giselle's relationship.So, she decided to take this opportunity to straighten things out with him.Yasmin looked at Blake and said, "Since that's the case, let's get divorced then. There are only two days left in the cooling-off period, so let's get divorced first. Then, you can take care of your family affairs."Blake's expression immediately turned cold. "Didn't I already tell you never to bring divorce up again?""But I want to," Yasmin said firmly. "I don't want to be with you anymore."Although she was still in love with Blake, there were simply too many conflicts happening between them, and it was either Annalise or Giselle who was constantly causing trouble for her. Now, all she wanted was to stay away from those people and live peacefully with her father."You don't want to be with me anymore?" Blake snorted. "Have you given up on saving your father?"His expression was terrifying when he was angry. "After we get divorced, Mrs.

    Seemingly annoyed, Blake grabbed Yasmin's slender waist and pulled her closer. Then, he shot her a glare and snapped, "What?" He was curious as to what she had to say.But Yasmin, startled by his fierce expression, started to cry. "Can't you agree to the divorce and let my father out?""No way.""I'm begging you. I know what my father did was wrong and that you hate our family…" Yasmin's words got caught in her throat, but she plucked up the courage to carry on, saying, "I'll sleep with you until you're satisfied. Can we get divorced then?"Blake sneered. "What makes you think your body's worth that much?"Yasmin froze, hurt by his words.Yet, she couldn't give up now. Hence, with a determined look, she pleaded, "Please…"Ignoring Blake's wishes, she then leaned over to kiss him.However, Blake quickly dodged her advances. "Get off me.""No!" Yasmin clung to him and began rubbing herself against his body.Her thin clothing quickly caused a reaction in Blake, and he glared

    For some reason, Yasmin felt an uncomfortable emptiness when Blake left.Still, she knew that their marriage had to come to an end.Moreover, tomorrow was the end of the cooling-off period, and they could finally get divorced. But that day, Yasmin felt restless. However, when Blake still hadn't returned by evening, she assumed that he had agreed to the divorce.Upon this realization, Yasmin felt a mix of relief and melancholy. …The next morning, Yasmin woke up feeling gloomy.Today was the day of divorce. And after today, things were over between Blake and her. Although Yasmin had expected this, she still couldn't help feeling disappointed.After staring at the ceiling for some time, she sighed and got out of bed.She sat at the dressing table and pulled out her documents. After making sure that she had everything, she carefully put them in her bag.When she headed downstairs, Mary said, "Breakfast is ready, Mrs. Ford."Yasmin instantly teared up when she saw Mary.

    "Did I ever say I'd go?" Blake stood, towering over Yasmin.Yasmin was dumbfounded. "But you promised me last night…""What did I promise you?" Blake asked back.Yasmin was at a loss for words.He was right. He hadn't promised her anything.Yet, he still slept with her.So that meant he had agreed!Yasmin forced herself to speak, saying, "You agreed by sleeping with me!"Blake smiled coldly. "But you also said that I could keep sleeping with you until I was satisfied. And I'm not satisfied yet, so why would we get divorced?"Yasmin was stunned. Stiffly, she clarified, "I only meant within those two days. You were the one who didn't come home last night.""No. You never mentioned when the offer would end." Blake corrected her.Yasmin's mind went blank. Had she not mentioned when the offer would end?Biting her lip, she stammered, "I must have forgotten. Well, the offer ends today.""Changing your words now doesn't count," Blake retorted.Yasmin was taken aback with disma

    After thinking about it for a moment, Yasmin asked, "You won't stop my father from leaving after a month?"Blake merely hummed in response, his eyes somber.So, Yasmin could only agree.She was truly between a rock and a hard place—she had to deal with both Annalise and Blake before her father could gain his freedom.So, she agreed to Blake's conditions. "It's a deal."Blake then looked at her and repeated himself. "Please me right now."Yasmin's face flushed. "I don't know how.""You seemed pretty good at it yesterday." Yasmin had kept clinging to him no matter how many times he pushed her away yesterday."Last night was different." Yasmin was embarrassed. "I can't do it now." The rush of courage she had had disappeared by now."Do the same thing again." Blake began unbuttoning her coat.A deep blush crept up Yasmin's face. She wanted to remove Blake's hand, but he stated, "You're not allowed to refuse."Yasmin immediately froze up and remained in his lap, her head droo

    Blake's expression remained the same as he looked down to read some documents. He didn't seem to welcome Giselle. Giselle also knew that Blake was trying to chase her away, but she didn't want to leave. As she caressed her baby bump, she said, "Blake, the child is three-months-old now. There's a gene check-up tomorrow. Would you like to come?"Blake looked up when he heard this. "Is the check-up tomorrow?""Yeah." Giselle softly added, "I'll be having the check-up in the same hospital as Anna, so you can visit her before accompanying me.""Alright." Blake agreed.Meanwhile, Yasmin, who was hiding in the private room, felt knives stabbing into her heart when she heard this.Blake refused to let her go, yet he was still going to accompany Giselle for a check-up. At the thought of this, Yasmin felt like someone was squeezing her heart in a death grip. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. As she reached down, she felt a damp stickiness on the back of her skirt.

    Blake answered, "She doesn't need your help, so you can leave.""Okay then." Giselle smiled and waved at Yasmin.However, Yasmin remained expressionless. Shortly after, Blake's secretary entered the room holding a bag. "Mr. Ford, the things you wanted are here.""Give them to her," Blake instructed.The secretary then walked over to Yasmin and handed her the bag. "Ms. Starr, there are new clothes and period products here. You can head over to the restroom to change.""Thank you!" Yasmin blushed as she went to the toilet. She then cleaned herself up and put on a new pink skirt before emerging from the room. As expected, pink was Blake's preference after all.As soon as she came out, Yasmin saw Giselle watching her from in front of a mirror with her arms crossed. She was most likely waiting for her.Giselle then smiled and asked again, "Yasmin, have you two finalized the divorce yet?""Not yet," Yasmin answered truthfully.Giselle's eyes grew cold. "You better hurry up,

    Blake explained, "During National Day one year ago, you kept pestering me to take you to the hot springs after I came back to the country. It was September 28th. "However, we ended up not going because you had your period and kept rolling on the bed in pain."Memories popped up in Yasmin's mind when she heard this. The incident happened sometime before National Day last year. She'd kept kicking up a fuss about visiting the hot springs and complained about how Blake never came home. She'd even threatened to get angry if they didn't go and kept whining about it.Blake was annoyed by her nagging, so he reluctantly agreed and booked the tickets. But when they were about to leave, she weakly told him that her period had come, so they weren't able to go. Yasmin also remembered how Blake had made a snide remark about her being the cause of them missing the trip even though she had been the one who suggested it in the first place.She had been furious at the time. After all, she was

    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
