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

    Although Yasmin was angry with Blake, she also relied on him a lot, especially during vulnerable moments like these. Every time he treated her gently, she couldn't help falling deeper for him.But, she couldn't.The deeper in love she fell, the harder it would be for her to pull herself back together in the future.So, she needed to stay clear-headed.After all, her father was still waiting for her.At the thought of this, Yasmin quickly forced herself to calm down.Moments later, they arrived at Newphoria Bay. As soon as Malcolm stopped driving, Blake leaned over to gather Yasmin into his arms.However, Yasmin hurriedly refused, "I can go upstairs myself. You should head back now.""It'll just take a few minutes," Blake insisted on carrying her into the villa.Mary came out and saw them. "What happened to her, Mr. Ford?" she asked."Her period just started. Please get her some painkillers, Mary," Blake said before carrying Yasmin upstairs to the bedroom.Yasmin tried to

    After dinner, Yasmin went for a walk in the garden.Newphoria Bay had a beautiful garden, and she'd heard that her mother used to love flowers. So, her father had built this gorgeous garden just for her.Colorful flowers in full bloom lined her path as Yasmin was taking a peaceful stroll. But suddenly, she bumped into someone.As her nose ached from the impact, Yasmin raised her head and was surprised to see Blake in front of her. "What are you doing here?" she asked."I just came back. Why aren't you resting upstairs when you're in pain?" he asked."Moving around helps with the pain," she replied."Okay, then." Blake then naturally leaned closer to pull her into his arms.However, Yasmin dodged his actions and left his hand frozen mid-air.She said, "You should go back if you don't need anything. It's also better if you don't come here from now on."It was clear that she was kicking him out.Blake stared at her. "I only got off work at 9:30 pm and came straight here with

    Yasmin smiled and invited Ivan to the reception area. "Have you already been discharged from the hospital, Ivo?""Mm-hm." Ivan smiled. "I wanted to talk to you about the collaboration between Erinnyes and NAS Group."Once again, this matter was being brought up. Yasmin, who had been brewing some coffee, paused and glanced at him. "Ivo, I've given it some thought. I've realized that I'm not capable enough to be the chief designer yet, so I want to keep pushing myself for another two more years.""Are you worried that something like last time will happen again?" Ivan asked, sensing her concern."Not really. I just think that I don't have enough experience, so I should learn some more," Yasmin answered smoothly and handed him a cup of coffee.Ivan took a sip before suggesting, "How about this? You can join our design department and learn from the chief designer. I'm sure you'll improve tremendously."Yasmin hesitated. Ivan didn't seem like he was trying to trick her.She'd mere

    Ever since Victor Starr was dismissed from the company, Brittany's comfortable days had come to an end.So, she pinned all the blame on Yasmin. As the daughter of a fairly wealthy family, she couldn't stand the fact that Yasmin had caused her parents to lose their jobs. So, she instinctively attacked Yasmin the moment she spotted her. "Your father only had a job because of Starr Corporation, which belongs to my father anyway. Your family never had anything in the first place," Yasmin corrected her cousin.But Brittany couldn't accept this. If her family had never experienced what it was like to be wealthy in the first place, then being placed in such poor situations wouldn't have hurt as much as it did now.All Brittany knew was that her wonderful life was gone because of Yasmin. Hatred burned within her, and she started yanking at Yasmin's hair. The people in the room that Blake was in soon noticed the commotion. Someone said, "Two women seem to be fighting outside."Sev

    Blake's dark expression suddenly broke into a smile. "Mr. Burke, do you even know why I'm asking for her? Actually, we can't help wanting to fu—"Yasmin stomped on Blake's foot to cut him off mid-sentence. She would probably have to hide her face for the rest of her life if Blake had finished his sentence. Yasmin then shot him a glare and snapped, "Don't you dare!""Why not? It's the truth," Blake taunted.Yasmin quickly covered his mouth and pulled him toward the stairs. "Alright, let's go! Just keep your mouth shut! "Mr. Burke, we have some matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."After successfully dragging Blake out of the restaurant, Yasmin angrily pushed him away. "Why did you have to say that to him?""Why? Are you worried that he'll be disgusted with you if he finds out that you're sleeping with me?" Blake mocked."No!" Infuriated by his words, Yasmin turned to leave. "I'm just not as shameless as you!""Come here." Blake grabbed her arm and shoved her into a

    Pleased, Blake started the engine and began driving toward Yasmin's favorite place—Cirrus."What are we doing here?" Yasmin asked."For dinner." Blake parked the car and got out.Yasmin had no choice but to follow him. "But didn't you eat already?""But you didn't, right?" Blake asked. "By the time we get home, Mary would've already gotten off work."Only then did Yasmin finally realize that it was already 9 pm. The two of them then went into one of the private rooms. Blake picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes Yasmin liked.Then, as Yasmin was pouring some water into a glass, she heard Blake ordering the seafood soup she liked.Upon hearing this, she glanced at him.But without saying much, Blake simply reached over to brush her hair aside. Earlier outside, the lighting had been dim, so he couldn't see her cheek clearly. But now that he could see her bruise up close, he realized that her injury was more serious than he'd expected.With a frown, he demanded, "Don't

    "What?" Yasmin was stunned. "Wasn't Ivan the one who helped me?""He probably gave you a hand, but our team settled things the quickest."Yasmin was dumbfounded. She never expected Blake to have helped her as well. She glanced at him.Meanwhile, Blake's expression was solemn, and he stayed silent. So, Yasmin asked, "Did you really help me with it?""Forget it if you don't believe me." Blake couldn't be bothered to explain himself.Yasmin sheepishly said, "I do. I just don't understand why you didn't tell me that you were the one who did it.""It wasn't anything worth mentioning." After all, Blake was never one to ask for compliments. Then, he let go of Yasmin and ordered, "Eat up."Yasmin didn't know what else to say, so she simply took a few sips of the soup.Then, she said, "Then again, this entire thing started because of you, so it's only right that you handled the rumors yourself."Blake narrowed his eyes, amused. "You still think I'm obligated to help you?""Your

    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
