While Yasmin had been missing for three days, Blake ceaselessly sent his men to look for her. They searched the town she disappeared into and investigated Cirrus Town. However, their efforts weren't fruitful. They couldn't find her at all.She seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Her phone, debit card, and personal ID were all gone. No one had any idea how she pulled it off.When Giselle heard the news, she was waiting for a prenatal checkup. She smiled brightly. "This is great. That annoying woman is gone now."Annie commented, "You seem to be in high spirits, Mrs. Ford. Are you looking into the menu for the banquet already?""Yes," Giselle said with a charming smile. "But let's not drop our guard. Send our people to follow Blake's men. If they find Yasmin, report back to me immediately."She was searching for Yasmin as well. However, Yasmin had completely vanished. Even she had no clue about Yasmin's whereabouts."Got it," Annie responded. It just so happened that it
The previous nanny of the Starr family, Jessica Miller, stayed at Miller Village.She was 68 years old. After retiring a few years ago, she returned to her hometown and opened a convenience store.It helped her make some money while looking after her grandchild, Chris Miller, who was still in middle school.Yasmin's visit was a pleasant surprise. Jessica asked about how she was doing and even inquired about Stuart's situation.Yasmin muttered, "Jessica, my family isn't doing well. My dad is in prison as we speak…"Jessica was shocked after learning the news. "What happened? Stuart is a kind man. He not only pampers his wife and daughter, but he is also friendly with the housekeepers. He never treated us harshly.""Someone set him up." Caleb had doubled-crossed Stuart. He sold Stuart a batch of cement that didn't meet industry standards.Later, Blake reported Starr Corporation, and Stuart ended up in prison. Since then, Starr Corporation has been in bad shape. In other words,
Yasmin pursed her lips and kept quiet. She felt a little restless.That night, sleep didn't come to her. So she took out her new phone and checked the calendar. It was already the 22nd of December.Annalise's birthday was in two days' time—the same day as Blake and Giselle's wedding. Annalise and Giselle should be at ease after that day, right?While Yasmin was in deep thought, she drifted off to sleep.The next day, the dawn light entered the room.Yasmin heard Jessica taking Chris out of the house.Jessica would send Chris to the village entrance every morning at 6:00 am. Afterward, she would head to town to buy groceries.Once Yasmin woke up, she could hardly get back to sleep. She wore a plain white dress and opened the door on the first floor. Later, she started cleaning around the house.Suddenly, a thick arm hugged her from behind.Yasmin was shocked, and she quickly turned around.It turned out to be the butcher next door, Daniel Ziegler!With a greasy face and a
"Let's head to the hospital in town," Blake ordered."I'm not going!" Yasmin held the car door tightly. She refused to go with him.However, he wouldn't let her run away again. He locked her in his arms, and she couldn't move at all."Blake!" Yasmin shouted while sobbing. "Let go of me!""Cut it out!" His expression turned ugly. He held her tightly and warned, "If you keep doing that, don't blame me for not playing nice.""Let me go!" She kept struggling.Blake was furious. He pinned her on the seat and spanked her. "Stop making a fuss!"It took him quite a while to locate her. When he finally found her, she was still retaliating.He lost all his composure and smacked her hard.Having her hands restrained, she couldn't break free. As she was hit repeatedly, the pain brought tears to her eyes.Upon seeing her tears, Blake stopped smacking her. He instructed Tyler, "To the hospital."Malcolm stayed behind to deal with Daniel; bad things probably awaited the injured man. Howe
Lately, Yasmin had been feeling miserable every day but had no one to talk to. The grievances welled up in her heart, and it was suffocating.Upon realizing that Blake refused to let her go, Yasmin stopped hiding it. She let it all out while sobbing. "You won't be saving my dad. Everything is a lie! You keep me by your side as if I'm your toy. You made me lose the last family member I have in this world. And now, I can't even fend for myself…"She wiped her tears with the back of her hand.A hint of regret crossed his eyes. He wanted to wipe her tears for her, but she pushed him away."Don't touch me! I hate you!" Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed. She yelled, "What else do you want from me? Even though my dad betrayed James, Starr Corporation is already under your name!"My dad is imprisoned, and his sickness has become serious. I'm left with nothing, and you're still not sparing me. I only want to save my dad. Is that so hard of a request?"She fell to her knees
Yasmin was surprised. "You… You're going to spare my dad?""Yeah." Blake stared at her, and he noticed her eyes swollen from crying.He gently wiped away her tears and said, "I sent my men to check on Stuart a while back. He was afflicted with a contagious lung infection. "At the time, you had gotten into a car accident that lowered your immune system. I was afraid that he might pass the disease to you, so I held off on arranging a visit. I didn't expect you to run away." Yasmin had tears in the corner of her eyes. Upon hearing his words, she sniffled and asked, "Really? Did you send someone to check on him?""Yes. I checked on him, but his condition is severe. That's why he's currently being isolated in the quarantine area. "After he recovers, I'll get Celeb to write the statement proving Stuart was framed when he purchased the cement. I'll clear his name and return Starr Corporation back to him. Will that be enough?"Yasmin thought about it before questioning, "Are you real
"There's nothing wrong with admitting you care about me." Blake held Yasmin's face and gazed into her eyes.She felt uncomfortable being stared at, especially when she was in his arms.After laying everything out in the open, she realized they were quite close to each other. In fact, he had somehow placed her on his lap during the struggle.She subconsciously tried to escape. However, he didn't let her move and kept her on his lap. He said in a deep voice, "I haven't finished yet. Why're you leaving so soon?""Let me go first." She tried to squirm her way out."But you haven't answered my question. Do you care about me?"She batted her lashes at him. She didn't deny it this time. "Yes, I care about you."Yamin blushed in embarrassment, which made her look quite adorable to Blake. He couldn't hold back and kissed her.Her muffled voice escaped her throat. He whispered into her ears, "Don't reject me this time. I've missed you so much…"She was surprised. The sadness pent up i
"I don't care," Blake said. "Is it a crime to hug my wife?"Wife? He said that she was his wife?Yasmin's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.Blake had always called her by her name. He had never called her his wife before. The tips of Yasmin's ears turned red.This didn't go unnoticed by Blake as he carried her into the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. "Why is your face so red? Is it because I called you my wife?"Upon hearing this, Yasmin took a deep breath and glanced at him.Blake was smiling. "Is it really because of that? You like it when I call you my wife?"She clasped her hands together and said awkwardly, "No!""You're blushing." Blake didn't believe her. He leaned over, and Yasmin could feel his breath on her lips as he said, "Wifey."Yasmin's eyes fluttered, and her breath caught in her throat. It was really because Blake had called her his wife.Blake smiled and said it again, "Wifey.""Stop that." Yasmin was extremely embarrassed. She lifted her hands to push him away,
