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
Yasmin didn't say anything and merely stood in place, looking at the wine in her glass.She couldn't drink it, but she could pretend to take a sip. So, she pretended to take a sip and looked at Pablo.Pablo glared at her and pulled her closer, intending to pour the wine into her mouth. "Just one sip is not sincere enough. Drink the whole glass." Then, he put his arm around her waist and tried to slide his hand into her dress.Yasmin's body stiffened. Then, she poured the entire glass of wine on him."What's wrong with you? Can't you even hold a glass of wine?" Pablo yelled."Quickly, help Pablo clean up." The others shoved a towel into Yasmin's hand, pushing her in front of Pablo and intending for her to clean the wine on his pants.Pablo looked down at Yasmin. Then, he took off his belt and unzipped his pants. Obviously, he wasn't pretending anymore.The others were laughing as well.Only then did Yasmin finally understand. They had been teasing her from the moment she'd w
Malcolm stayed behind, and Yasmin could see the fear in the eyes of the group of people. Presumably, they were all in trouble.Then, Yasmin closed her eyes and was carried out of the private room by Blake.After that, she was placed on a bench by the side of the road.A bodyguard then brought some ointment to Blake. Blake unscrewed the lid, took a cotton swab, and applied some of the medicine to Yasmin's face.Yasmin hissed in pain."Were you holding a knife just now?" Blake glanced at her.Yasmin nodded."Were you trying to kill that man?" Blake asked again.Yasmin looked up and saw two small reflections of herself in Blake's eyes. She nodded. "Yeah, I wanted to kill him at that moment.""Couldn't you tell that he had bad intentions from the start? Yet you still stayed to toast him."Yasmin didn't respond. Perhaps she really was stupid, always unable to see the malicious intent of others.After applying the medicine, Blake screwed the lid back on. Then, he looked at Y
"Then we'll have to liquidate." Samuel sighed heavily, looking upset.Yasmin pressed her lips together. "Let's try again."Samuel didn't respond to this.In truth, he'd hoped for Yasmin to go back to Blake. After all, as long as Blake invested, Starr Corporation could immediately recover, and all the shareholders would stop fighting.But Yasmin was unwilling to go back, and neither could he force her. So, they could only wait and see what would happen next.…In the afternoon, Yasmin went to meet the president of another company. However, she was still rejected by the secretary. No one seemed willing to lend a helping hand. It was as if everyone thought that Starr Corporation was doomed.Yasmin was a little frustrated. She got up from the couch and prepared to leave.But just as she reached the entrance, she saw a group of people coming out of the elevator. It was Roxy and her friends.Upon seeing her, Yasmin subconsciously lowered her head, afraid of attracting Roxy's a
Yasmin glanced at the swimming pool. Then, she ignored Roxy and walked away.Roxy grabbed Yasmin's hand and yelled, "You're not allowed to leave, Yasmin!"With a grim expression, Yasmin warned, saying, "Like I said, I don't have any issues with you, Roxy. But if you keep bothering me or even hurt me, I'll call the police."Roxy scolded, "Come and get me then. Like I said, just call the police. I'm not scared. Let's see which lawyer is crazy enough to back you up." Then, she muttered arrogantly, "You're nothing without Blake!"Immediately after, Roxy and her friends shoved Yasmin toward the swimming pool.Yasmin was terrified. After all, she was three months pregnant, and falling into the pool could have dire consequences.But Roxy and her friends had lost their minds and were determined to throw Yasmin into the pool.A hint of panic flashed in Yasmin's eyes. She glared at Roxy, "I won't let you off the hook if you push me into the swimming pool, Roxy!"Roxy grinned and said, "S
Yasmin shut her eyes. The weight on her shoulders felt like it could crush her. However, she couldn't give up now. Otherwise, everything would be over.With that in mind, she opened her eyes and talked to the police.She told the police that Pablo had attempted to rape her last night.Luckily, the police were understanding. They had also investigated this matter beforehand.Still, Pablo was critically injured, so Yasmin had to go through the legal procedures. After a lawyer bailed her out, she would be free to go.Ultimately, Yasmin needed a lawyer to bail her out—but where would she find one? She couldn't even get any support from her family.She then went through her contact list. While Ivan had a lawyer, Blake had sent him overseas. He likely had no idea about her predicament.As for Eunice, her dad was on his deathbed. She spent a lot of time at the hospital with her dad, so she couldn't do much to help Yasmin.With that, the last person Yasmin could go to was Blake.Onc
