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

    Blake was suddenly nice to Yasmin. Was it because Yasmin's blood could help Elise?After leaving the hospital, Yasmin went to the lakeside. She found a stone bench and sat there.Yasmin lowered her gaze. Blake had given her a pink bracelet, and Yasmin wore it on her wrist.Recalling that Elise liked pink, Yasmin reached out to tear the bracelet off. However, her efforts were in vain.Yasmin yanked it many times. She even scraped her wrist till it bled. Only then did she give up on taking the bracelet off.She hugged her knees, and buried herself in her skirt as she cried. After a while, the sky went dark. Suddenly, her phone rang.It was a call from Blake.After spending five days in Merania, he finally remembered to give Yasmin a call.Yasmin stared at her phone for a long time. She eventually tapped on the button to accept the call.Blake had just made it back to Oak Garden. He didn't see Yasmin, so he called. "Where are you?"After a long silence, Yasmin muttered, "I saw

    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
