Brian was younger than Blake by four years old and had recently acquired his PhD. "Don't try to twist things around. You were bullying Yasmin, and I'm here to save her." Ivan wasn't going to fall for Brian's tricks.Then, Brian sneered. "Did you see me doing anything to her? I'm just chatting with her.""Are you really just chatting with her? You know what you were doing.""Of course I know what I was doing." Brian looked at Yasmin flirtatiously and grinned. "Alright. It's time for the main event. I'm going to look for something to eat."With that, Brian walked away and returned to the banquet hall. By then, Blake had arrived, and he was chatting with Isaac.Brian then walked over with a glass of wine and said, "I saw Yasmin and Ivan in the garden, Blake. I wonder what they're up to. You should check on them."Blake coldly glanced at Brian.Then, Brian smirked as he spoke to Isaac, "Ivan's quite impressive. He's more than just good-looking, he also has his ways with women. N
Yasmin snapped back to her senses, quickly escaping Ivan's embrace.Blake coldly stared at her and sternly said, "Why are you standing there? Come over!"Yasmin was startled. Then, she looked at Ivan and said, "I'll go first, Ivo."Upon hearing Yasmin's intimate address to Ivan, Blake's expression turned even colder, and he directed a piercing gaze at her.Yasmin lowered her head as she approached Blake and muttered, "Mr. B."However, Blake simply glared at her before leaving, with Yasmin quickly following behind. On their way back, Blake wore a sullen expression.Yasmin hastened her pace to catch up. Then, while looking at his defined features, she asked, "Were you searching for me?""No. I came over to expose a cheater," Blake coldly answered.Yasmin was at a loss for words."We were only talking to each other just now," Yasmin explained."Did you need to hug each other? If I was late, what else would've happened?" Blake mocked.Yasmin frowned, thinking that Blake had cr
At that moment, Yasmin realized that Blake was behaving quite snarkily.Then, as Ivan greeted the rest of the family, it finally came to Brian's turn. He raised his glass before shouting meaningfully, "My brother-in-law."Ivan's gaze was cold as he said that, and he finished his drink in one gulp.After the engagement dinner ended, Arthur invited Blake to the study on the second floor while Yasmin waited for Blake on the first floor.Suddenly, Roxy came over and confronted Yasmin, saying, "Brian said you were with Ivan in the backyard. What did you two talk about?"Ivan and Isaac had to leave. So, after Brian and Roxy showed them out, they came back to confront Yasmin. Yasmin glanced at Brian. He was tall and handsome, but he had a vile personality and would always incite conflict for his own entertainment.Meanwhile, Brian grinned at her, excited for the drama that would ensue.Of course, Yasmin couldn't tell Roxy that Ivan didn't intend to marry her. So, she simply turne
After meeting Blake's eyes, Roxy backed down. Then, she lowered her head and said, "Yasmin seduced my man. Check with her if you don't believe me."She was with Ivan in the backyard. I just approached her to ask what she said to him."Blake then stared at Yasmin.However, Yasmin didn't want to reveal what Ivan had told her, so she turned away and refused to speak.Observing her stubborn attitude, Blake's expression turned ugly.But eventually, the matter was simply swept under the rug.…After arriving at Newphoria Bay, Blake walked to the study on the second floor without saying anything.Meanwhile, Yasmin felt dejected, and the stinging ache lingered on her face. She then went upstairs to look for a first-aid-kit and put some ointment on her face while facing the mirror.Suddenly, Blake entered the room and saw her applying the ointment. With a sullen expression, he mocked, "You deserved it."Yasmin stopped what she was doing. Then, she turned her head over and said, "W
When Yasmin woke up, Blake was at the yard.She heard some noise, so she went to the balcony to see what it was.Blake seemed to have felt Yasmin's gaze, so he raised his head and looked over. However, he then got in the car and left without saying anything.Yasmin felt her heart clenching tightly, and for some reason, she felt awful.Blake had left without saying anything to her.…Three days later, Blake still hadn't even given Yasmin a call. It was obvious that he was giving her the cold shoulder and had cut off all contact with her.Meanwhile, Yasmin would visit Stuart at the hospital every day.Stuart's condition had been fluctuating, and his heart inflammation led to him feeling weak. It would evidently take some time for him to recover.That day, after visiting Stuart, Yasmin stumbled across Giselle on the first floor just as she was leaving the hospital. It had been one week since her miscarriage, and she was probably getting discharged. Yasmin noticed her,
Yasmin's pupils dilated.At this, Giselle smiled brightly and said, "I was jealous of you, but it doesn't affect me now. Ultimately, you're merely a backup to provide blood. And once Elise wakes up, you won't carry any value anymore."Yasmin didn't trust Giselle at all. So, she coldly retorted, "Stop meddling in my relationship with Blake. I don't believe a word you've said.""Oh? Really? When did Blake start being nice to you then?"Did it happen only after you were admitted to the hospital? He found out about your blood type, and he suddenly started treating you better, didn't he?"Yasmin's memory resurfaced after hearing Giselle's words.Blake had treated her coldly in the first few months after their marriage. What's more, he was also barely at home.Then one day, when she was fixing the light at the Ford residence, she ended up falling from somewhere high and knocked herself out.Blake then sent Yasmin to the hospital. And when she woke up, she saw him going through her me
Was Elise the person Blake tried to save?So, was Giselle not the first love? Was it Elise?Yasmin stood mindlessly in Elise's room.Later, she had a weird dream. In the dream, she and Elise were in danger, and Blake could only save one of them. Yet, she could only watch as Blake rescued Elise… With that, she was abandoned in the dream, drowning and disappearing…Yasmin was jolted back to reality. Her back was drenched in sweat as she gasped heavily for air.While eating breakfast the next day, Yasmin found herself thinking about Elise again.Mary poured her a cup of milk.Yasmin looked over and asked, "I saw a pink villa next to us. Do you know what it's for, Mary?"Since Mary was in charge of cleaning, she must have known who the resident of that villa was.Upon hearing Yasmin's words, Mary immediately stopped pouring the milk. She sneaked a flustered glance at Yasmin. "Have you entered that villa, Mrs. Ford?"Yasmin shook her head. "No, I merely saw it from the balcony
Yasmin walked toward the girl. She was really the person in the photo.She looked at the patient's name on the headboard, which read 'Elise Fletcher'.In that moment, Yasmin's heart seemed to fall into the abyss, making a loud thud.Everything was real. There was a girl named Elise. She once stayed in the pink villa beside Oak Garden.The reason Blake helped Giselle out was to save Elise.That explained why Blake didn't reveal what he wanted for Giselle's child.His goal was to save Elise. Why would he reveal it to Yasmin?If Yasmin knew Blake had another girl in his heart, she wouldn't have foolishly fallen for him.While Yasmin's thoughts wandered off, the ward door was pushed open.Joel entered the ward. He was surprised to see Yasmin standing in front of the bed. He called out, "Yasmin."Yasmin turned. After discovering the truth, she wasn't shocked. Instead, she wore an expression of disappointment and confusion.Joel glanced at Elise. She slept there without a sound, l
