The document was put on the table.

Emelda skimmed through it. She then smiled at Yasmin and said, "Blake is quite generous, Yasmin. With this contract, Stuart is set for the rest of his life."

Yasmin felt conflicted. "Stop looking at it, Grandma. Dad might not accept it."

"Why not? That's Blake's wedding gift to you. It isn't inappropriate to accept it.

"Moreover, Starr Corporation is Stuart's life's work. Since he has recovered, he should get back to running it. We don't want him to hunt for jobs at his age, right? He's already 50 years old."

Hearing this, Yasmin fell silent.

She naturally didn't want Stuart to spend the rest of his life in hardship.

However, she was troubled. Those were things she couldn't get over. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bring herself to forget them.

Upstairs, Stuart pushed the study door open. The room was just like how it was two years ago. He was surprised at first, but he then felt warm and fuzzy inside.

Yasmin knew Stuart well.

    Acting on impulse, Yasmin suddenly shook her hand loose. "Of course I'm angry."Which woman wouldn't be angry to be treated like that?Yasmin couldn't face him calmly and reasonably, so she said coldly, "Go home. My dad was discharged today, and I don't want to be sad. Go home. We'll talk about this another time.""But your dad asked me to stay for dinner."Yasmin frowned. "He wants to accept your gift?""After all, Starr Corporation held his hopes and dreams. It's his life's work," Blake replied airily.Yasmin didn't know what to say to that. There was disappointment and indignance in her eyes.She didn't want her father to suffer in the future.But she also felt that she would be forever indebted to Blake if her father accepted his present.The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, and she couldn't stop herself from crying. "Why are you crying?" Blake saw her crying and went to hug her. He gently wiped away her tears.Yasmin wiped her nose and said between sobs,

    Yasmin frowned. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?""I didn't know how to tell you. I did take your blood." Blake came closer to her and held her shoulders while he explained gently, "I felt remorseful about doing this a year ago. That's why I was good to you. I was good to you not because I wanted to use your blood to save Elise, but because I felt sorry for you and wanted to treat you better."Yasmin was speechless. She looked up at him. "So you fell in love with me one year ago?""Yes." Blake nodded. This time, he didn't conceal his love. "I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you the first time I met you."Yasmin was stunned. She never expected this. "You never thought of leaving me?""You're so silly. If we had divorced, other men would definitely bully you. How could I bear to see you suffering outside?" Blake kissed her lips gently.Yasmin looked up at his incomparably handsome face.Blake stared at Yasmin until she blushed a little. She didn't know what to say and gru

    These were all her regrets. So when her grandmother asked about a second wedding, she subconsciously looked at Blake.Blake glanced at Yasmin and saw the disappointment and longing in her eyes. He smiled and said, "Sure. The wedding two years ago was done so sloppily. It's time for us to have a proper wedding."Upon hearing this, Yasmin felt a jolt of joy.Stuart looked happy too. He had not been able to attend his daughter's wedding, and it had been a painful thing for him. Now that they could have another one, Stuart felt like he could die in peace. "Then we have to quickly prepare for the wedding," Emelda told Yasmin.Yasmin was lost in thought and didn't react."Yasmin," Stuart said. "Grandma's talking to you."Yasmin snapped back to reality and blinked. "Grandma, what did you say?""I said that since you're planning to have another wedding, you should start preparing now. I'll contact the fortune-teller to choose an auspicious date tomorrow. What do you think?" Emelda ask

    Yasmin yelped in pain and smacked his shoulder. "Don't do this in front of my house. My father might catch us.""He'd only say that we love each other deeply if he caught us." Blake smiled and deepened the kiss.He started french kissing her.Yasmin felt that he was too bold and pushed his chest. "We'll get caught!""Let's get caught then." Blake was very thick-skinned. He lifted her jaw and kissed her even more deeply.Yasmin was losing her sense of direction and weakened like jelly in his arms. Her face was flaming red.After he had finished kissing her, he leaned his forehead against her head and said huskily, "You can only stay here for three days. After that, you must come home."His hot breath on her face made her a bit breathless. She said softly, "I want to stay longer.""No." He flatly refused. "What would I do if you stayed here for a week?"After he said that, he caressed her.The audacity of this man!Finally, a reaction!Yasmin blushed and looked at him in a bl

    "No," Yasmin refused."Don't want me to stay here? Do you hate me that much?""I don't hate you. I'm afraid of you." Blake's countenance was too strong, and people had to act according to his moods.Yasmin didn't want her family to be uncomfortable.Furthermore, she sensed some tension between him and her Dad. Although they tried to put up a united front, there seemed to be a wall between them.Yasmin said coquettishly, "I don't want my family to be uncomfortable. It's fine for me to live with you. Even with your cold personality, I am thick-skinned enough to come close to you.""You were pretty thick-skinned," Blake teased.Yasmin didn't like that triumphant look on his face. She huffed and deliberately slid her hand down his leg. "Now you're the thick-skinned one!"Her small hand pressed down hard.Blake let out a low moan, and his eyes flickered dangerously.Yasmin felt like his intense gaze could swallow her whole. She quickly ran away. "Goodbye, Mr. B, I'm going home! Be

    She hadn't told Eunice about the fight.Eunice smiled and said, "Of course, it's written all over your face."Eunice hadn't asked, but that didn't mean she couldn't read Yasmin's expression.Yasmin was a little embarrassed. "We fought the day before yesterday, and I gave him the cold shoulder. But we're good now.""Why did both of you fight?"Yasmin told her everything that had happened over the last few days.Eunice frowned and punched Yasmin lightly on the shoulder. "Some friend you are! Keeping all these things from me.""These are relationship issues, and I didn't want to always bother you with them. Wouldn't you feel annoyed after listening to matters of my relationship all the time?"Eunice huffed. "I wouldn't. I'm willing to share the burden with my best friend.""Eunice, don't be mad…" Yasmin pleaded.Eunice couldn't help but smile and said teasingly, "Then you need to make it up to me.""What do you want me to do?""I'm getting married soon. You design my wedding d

    Yasmin then realized that Blake had called because she had not replied to Blake's message when he asked her where she was via text."At The Western Star.""I'll come over," Blake said.Yasmin was stunned. "You're done with work? I thought you were working overtime today?""You really want me to work overtime?" Blake didn't sound too happy. It seemed as if Yasmin didn't want him to go over.Yasmin didn't want him to come because she was discussing private stuff with her best friend.But she was afraid of upsetting him, so she said, "It's not that.""Wait for me," Blake said before ending the call."Blake?" Eunice asked."Yeah, he wants to come here."Eunice teased, "It looks like this man is really clingy when it comes to dating."Yasmin laughed. "He's okay. He's always been cold and emotionless. But now, he knows how to send messages to check up on me. He used to ignore me when I did that.""You've got him wrapped around your little finger!" Yasmin blushed but had no come

    Yasmin didn't want to talk to Giselle, so she detoured to avoid her.But Giselle wouldn't let her off. She walked over and blocked her. "Did you see the news? They've invented the cure for Elise, and she'll soon be awake."Yasmin looked at Giselle, who was obviously trying to keep a straight face. But Yasmin could see the resentment in her eyes.Giselle was trying to stir up trouble again.Giselle continued, "When Elise wakes up, you won't have any value anymore. Blake will toss you aside.""But, Mr. B said that we'll be having a wedding," Yasmin said jovially, deliberately aggravating her.Giselle scowled and her gaze became piercing. "Blake wants to marry you? How can it be? He loves Elise.""Of course not!" Yasmin smiled, enjoying Giselle's crestfallen expression as she continued to provoke her."No way!" As expected, Giselle started getting anxious. Giselle couldn't bear to see Yasmin living a good life and wanted to hurt her. Giselle's voice hardened and turned malicious

    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
