Yasmin sighed and walked over to the couch. "Just tell me what you want." Her brows furrowed in impatience.

Blake gazed at her through a crystal lamp and asked, "Was what the journalists said true?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you really his girlfriend?" Blake stared at Yasmin, clearly displeased.

Yasmin studied him as an array of emotions whirred within her.

Seconds later, she closed her eyes and said, "Yeah." She figured that it would be better to admit this to save herself from any harassment.

And as she'd expected, Blake didn't say anything about it.

Then, Yasmin smiled. "Are you satisfied with my answer? If you are, I'll be leaving now. There's a competition later, so I'm quite busy."

Blake studied Yasmin for a moment before smiling. "I told you to stay away from him, but you didn't take my warning seriously, did you?"

At that moment, Blake's gaze turned sharp.

Yasmin rarely saw him show such a cold expression.

Her palms began to sweat, but she knew that she couldn't b

    Yasmin was walking back to the fitting room when she saw Elise standing by the door. She was wearing an elegant flowy dress that showed her gracefulness."Yasmin," she said softly. "What are you doing here?" Yasmin frowned, annoyed at Elise and Blake for taking turns to bother her.Elise softly said, "I came to apologize. I didn't mean to ruin your relationship with Blakey. It's all my fault—"But Yasmin couldn't be bothered to listen. So, with a sneer, she retorted, "You don't have to tell me all that. I'm not interested.""I know that there's a deep misunderstanding between us and that you won't forgive me no matter what I say." Elise began to cry, and suddenly, people were starting to gather around them. Yasmin suppressed her annoyance and said, "The competition is about to start, so I don't want to talk about this right now. Please step aside.""I'm sorry." Elise sobbed and moved away. Yasmin then walked into the fitting room and slammed the door shut.However, when she

    "Don't bother, Eunice. If she was daring enough to do it, then she must be certain that she didn't leave any evidence. So, don't waste your energy anymore. Come back and help me," Yasmin said.Then, she spread out the damaged clothes on the table and pondered for a moment. "The competition doesn't start for another hour, so let's try to salvage what we can.""How will we do that? They've been torn to shreds!" Eunice fumed."I took a look at the clothes. They just have some holes in them. Let's get some fabric and sew them back together," Yasmin replied. Yasmin got to work right away. She sat down in front of a sewing machine and began repairing the clothes. Upon seeing how determined she was, Eunice found hope again and hopped in to help too.Eunice had studied design before and had some basic knowledge, so she was sure that she'd be able to give Yasmin a hand.One of the models saw how busy they were and asked, "Should we still get our makeup done?""Yes," Yasmin responded.

    However, Blake's full attention was on the stage, so he didn't respond to Elise. Elise's eyes flashed with annoyance.She knew Yasmin's designs had been torn to pieces, so she didn't understand how Yasmin still had clothes to present for the competition.Meanwhile, Erinnyes had finished showcasing their outfits. As the designer, Yasmin stepped onto the stage to take a bow.She was wearing a black cocktail dress as she gracefully walked through the smoke in seven-inch heels. Everyone could see her beautiful face and sensual figure. Then, she halted when she reached the front of the stage and gave a small bow. Immediately, thunderous applause erupted. It was easy to tell that Yasmin would be the winner that night. "I didn't expect her to be as gorgeous as her designs," the director praised. Ivan smiled. "I told you she's talented. I hope you'll guide her well if she joins our company."Ivan had always believed that Yasmin was talented. That was the reason he'd initial

    "Who's Yaz?" The design director was bewildered. Ivan quickly clarified, saying, "That's Yasmin Starr's nickname. Let me introduce you. "Yasmin, this is our company's design director, Summer Faye."Summer was a well-known woman in the industry. Yasmin lit up when she discovered the woman's identity, and she excitedly shook Summer's hand. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Faye. I'm Yasmin Starr.""I saw your designs earlier. I was very impressed," Summer praised.Yasmin was delighted. Then, Ivan said, "Yasmin, Ms. Faye wants you to be her apprentice. What do you think?"Yasmin was taken aback by this. "Really?"Summer nodded. "You're very talented, and I've taken a liking to you."Yasmin felt like she was on cloud nine. After all, Summer was a world-renowned designer who'd won many awards. Yasmin would certainly reach new heights if she could learn from Summer. Meanwhile, Elise was standing next to them, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes when she heard this. There was no way

    Ivan said, "Hang on, let me ask someone to take you to check the camera footage."Ivan then sent some people to accompany Malcolm to investigate.Meanwhile, the room was crowded as many people stayed to wait for the outcome. "Yasmin, Eunice, why don't you two take a seat? I'm sure the results will be out soon," Ivan said.Yasmin's feet happened to be sore anyway, so she walked over to the audience's seating area and sat on one of the chairs. Then, Ivan went over to sit beside her and ordered someone to bring them a few glasses of water. After that, he handed a glass to her. "Have some water, Yasmin.""Thanks, Ivo." Yasmin accepted the water and took a sip. However, during this interaction, she could feel a piercing gaze directed at her. She didn't even need to guess who it was from. Yet, she deliberately ignored the gaze as she quietly waited for the outcome. Meanwhile, Blake frostily stared at Yasmin, seeing her comfortably accepting Ivan's water and tissue. …It to

    Therefore, Elise had to make sure that she looked hurt and wronged. Suddenly, Yasmin said, "I'm sorry."Her cold voice was heard throughout the room, and everyone fell silent. Blake then turned to look at her with a frown. Yasmin approached Elise and sincerely apologized again, saying, "I'm sorry." She didn't want to owe Blake a favor again, nor did she want to be part of Elise's one-man show.Elise seemed so keen on portraying herself as an obedient damsel in distress. But Yasmin refused to play along and decided to just apologize. Taken aback by Yasmin's apology, Elise was at a loss on what to say next.Yasmin then asked, "Do you forgive me, Elise? If you do, I'll take my leave. If not, I'll take you to the hospital right now."Didn't Elise like playing Cinderella getting bullied? In that case, Yasmin might as well go along with the act and ask whether or not Elise would forgive her.After all, several eyes were on them. And because of this, there was no way Elise coul

    Had Yasmin fallen sick? Blake pursed his lips and followed her inside without a word. Meanwhile, Yasmin was at the reception on the first floor to get her number to wait.Blake became even more puzzled when he saw her heading up to the Obstetrics and Gynecology department on the third floor. Why was Yasmin going there? Could it be that she's…Blake's eyes flickered, and he walked forward.Just then, Yasmin went into the first exam room and closed the door behind her."Doctor, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I've been feeling some cramping in my stomach," Yasmin explained her condition to the doctor.The doctor then checked her previous reports and saw that she was nearly three months pregnant. He brushed a hand over Yasmin's belly and asked, "When was your last checkup?""Half a month ago," Yasmin answered. She had been punctual to all her pregnancy checkups. The doctor nodded and instructed Yasmin to lie on the bed. Then, after listening to the fetus' heartbeat,

    After a moment of stunned silence, Blake's eyes grew menacingly cold. "It hasn't even been a week since our divorce, yet you're already seeking medical support to have a baby with Ivan Burke?"Yasmin kept her head down and remained silent, fearing that Blake would see through her lie. Upon seeing this, Blake burst out laughing mirthlessly. "It's only been a short while, yet you can't help throwing yourself into someone else's arms. You're truly something!"Under Blake's intimidating stare, Yasmin felt her stomach starting to ache again.The throbbing pain made her brows bunch together.Had her baby sensed her suffering?Yasmin pursed her lips, but she didn't try to defend herself. Instead, she merely responded, "You've already gotten the answer you need, so can you let me go now? I need to leave."Blake shot her a glare, the anger in his eyes gradually transforming into hatred. But eventually, he spat, saying, "You're such a cheap whore!"Yasmin's eyes flashed with pain. Yet,

    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
