"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,
"We can just get back together, okay?" Blake said before cupping Yasmin's face and giving her a deep kiss. "I said no…" Yasmin's voice choked up with tears. "Let go of me, Blake Ford. I don't consent to this." She started sobbing again.Blake froze when he heard her cries. Then, he held her and softly said, "We're not getting divorced anymore.""No!" Yasmin cried and stomped her foot. "You promised.""Not anymore," Blake said, his face devoid of emotions. "I'm not going to let you sleep around with other men.""I don't care!" Yasmin adamantly retorted. Blake stared at her distressed expression and said, "This is not up for negotiation. You can test me if you think your family or Ivan Burke can stand up to me."Then, he released Yasmin and arrogantly added, "I'll be coming to Newphoria Bay to pick you up tomorrow." With that, Blake walked away.Meanwhile, Yasmin bit her lip as tears streamed down her face.She knew that Blake was a man who needed to have his way with things
