Soon, Yasmin received a call from Malcolm while she was packing her luggage. After hearing Malcolm's words, she firmly said, "I'm not going back."However, Malcolm reminded her, saying, "Mrs. Ford, Mr. Ford already knows about your emigration plans with Mr. Starr. He's very angry right now, so it's better that you come back."Yasmin's pupils contracted, and she gripped her phone tightly. "How does he know?""Victor came to Windmere Group today and told Mr. Ford about this after asking for five million dollars," Malcolm lowered his voice and said.So, it turned out to be Victor!Yasmin had never expected that the one who would stab them in the back would be their own relative.Chaos erupted in Yasmin's heart as she asked Malcolm, "Is he very angry?""Very angry," Malcolm honestly said.Yasmin closed her eyes. She felt miserable.But in the end, she closed her luggage and took a car to Oak Garden to find Blake.She was afraid that if she didn't go, she would anger Blake. But
"No!" Yasmin cried and denied it. "I'm not going to be with anyone. I'm just unhappy being with you, so I'm leaving. It has nothing to do with anyone else.""I've said it before—I won't allow you to leave." Blake looked at Yasmin's tears and slowly let go of her chin. He then said word by word, "I don't want to see you cry. Go upstairs and wash your face. From today onward, you'll stay here and not go anywhere else.""I don't want to!""I'm not negotiating with you." Blake's expression darkened.Yasmin stood in front of him with tears streaming down her face. She looked desolate. "I've told you, I don't want to be with you. I'm going to Merania, and you can't stop me."After Yasmin finished speaking, she was about to leave Oak Garden.Blake's expression shifted, and he grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "I told you not to leave. Didn't you hear me clearly?""I won't listen to you!" Yasmin stubbornly said.Upon seeing the clear hatred in her eyes, Blake's rationality snapped
Blake turned Yasmin over and said, "Your father's shares can't be sold, so you can't leave Stanton City. Stop causing trouble and listen to me. It'll be better for you that way."After speaking, Blake held Yasmin tightly, wanting to take her to bathe. "Let me take you to the bathroom.""No." Yasmin gripped his hand. "Blake, let go of me. I don't want you to bathe me." She didn't want to see him at all now.Blake silently looked at Yasmin for a while. Then, he left without saying anything.After he left, Yasmin sat up and touched her stomach. Although last night was intense, her stomach didn't hurt, so things should be alright.Yasmin then wondered why Blake had suddenly lost his mind. He hadn't seemed to like her before, so why had he changed suddenly? What's more, he wouldn't even let her leave now.After taking a bath, Yasmin went downstairs.Meanwhile, Blake was there drinking coffee at the dining table and sitting with a refined posture. He seemed to be in a good mood.Ya
Blake's face turned cold. "Are you saying this to make me angry?""If you think so, then sure." Yasmin stared into Blake's eyes, looking indifferent.Blake quietly looked at her for a moment before pondering about something. Then, he withdrew his hand and tied his tie himself. "Fine, if you don't want to do it, I'll do it myself. "Are you done eating? Let's go.""I don't want to go yet." Yasmin sat still. "I think Oak Garden's scenery is very nice, so I want to rest for another hour."Blake narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "Yasmin, stop using this attitude to test my patience."Yasmin laughed. "I just want to rest for a bit longer. How is that testing your patience?"Blake's face grew colder by the second. Then, after a while, he angrily strode out with Malcolm following closely behind. Meanwhile, Mary was standing by the side, not daring to make a sound.After that, Yasmin quietly sat at the dining table until she heard the sound of the car engine fading away in the yard.
"Yes.""Where is he now?" Yasmin wanted to tear Victor to pieces.Samuel said, "He escaped, but we've filed a report. Now, we're waiting for news from the police."So, Yasmin waited in the corridor for the surgery to finish. Meanwhile, the red light of the operating room remained turned on, and she felt very nervous.Now, she hated Victor the most.She shouldn't have listened to her grandmother's words and allowed him to return to Starr Corporation. Otherwise, her father wouldn't have passed out....Blake had just finished a meeting at Windmere Group when he saw Malcolm rush in from outside. "Mr. Ford, something happened at Starr Corporation.""What happened?" Blake signed his name on a document and asked."Stuart Starr went into shock."Blake paused with his pen and looked up abruptly.Malcolm continued, "This morning, no one at Starr Corporation dared to buy Stuart's shares. Later, someone leaked that Victor was spreading rumors that anyone who bought the shares would b
Yasmin glanced at Blake expressionlessly.Blake said, "The experts are here, so it'll be fine. Don't worry too much."But Yasmin didn't respond to him."Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Blake cautiously asked.Yasmin remained still and muttered, "I don't want to eat."Blake didn't force her to eat, and he didn't leave either. Instead, he simply sat in the corridor and quietly accompanied her.Meanwhile, Yasmin didn't have the mood to care about Blake now. Her mind was entirely focused on her father's condition. She only hoped that her father would come out of the operating room safely. She didn't have the energy to care about anything else.After a long while, the operating light finally went out, and the doctor walked out of the operating room.Upon seeing the doctor, Yasmin's eyelashes trembled as she walked over and asked, "Doctor, how is my father now?""We've performed a bypass surgery for him, but his condition isn't stable right now. So, he'll need to st
Another two days passed, and Stuart woke up. However, the large amount of anesthesia had affected his brain, and it left him somewhat mentally confused and unable to remember people. The doctor said that some people experience this after surgery and that Stuart might recover after a while. So, Yasmin could only hope for the best. Yasmin went to the hospital to accompany her father every day. Not long after, she'd heard that Elise had gone abroad. However, she didn't care. After all, it had nothing to do with her.Then, in the blink of an eye, ten more days passed, and the day to receive their divorce certificate had come.That day, Yasmin woke up and found a light-colored dress in the closet. However, her belly had gotten bigger. It had been three months since she became pregnant, so the dress didn't fit anymore.In the end, she simply changed into a loose-fitting dress and met Blake at the court.They hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. Blake seemed to have lost
One of the shareholders didn't believe that Yasmin could save the company and snorted. "Why go through all that trouble? Just beg Mr. Ford to invest some money in the company, and the crisis will be solved, won't it?"Yasmin gave him a cold look. "I'm already divorced from him. Please don't mention him in front of me.""Hypocrite!" the shareholder scolded her.But Yasmin didn't argue back. Instead, she waited until the shareholders left after scolding her before asking Samuel, "Mr. Jerome, what should we do now?" She had no knowledge about the company and could only ask Samuel for help.Samuel thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's a good project in our company. If we can get some investments for it, maybe we can turn the situation around..."...In the evening, Yasmin went to the bank to see the bank president, Pablo Leon.Starr Corporation had a payment due soon, so they needed to deal with the bank immediately. Otherwise, the payment would be overdue.Yasmin was d
