"Return to Mr. Ford's side and get him to invest in Starr Corporation. Otherwise, you'll have to return our hard-earned money."

The noise overwhelmed Yasmin and she felt herself drowning.

The shareholders dropped their façade and demanded Yasmin reconcile with Blake to save the company.

Yasmin stayed quiet and waited for them to stop lashing out.

When they finally quieted down, she said, "My dad is the company's owner, not me. He's in a nursing home right now, mentally confused—"

The shareholders ran out of patience and cut her off. "Why are you abandoning us even though you can save us? Are you adamant about taking the company down with you?"

As long as Yasmin returned to Blake's side, he would surely invest in the company to save it.

However, she had to pay the price of freedom for it.

If he wanted to pursue Elise or engage in other relationships with Yasmin by his side, she wouldn't have the right to intervene.

Yasmin had poured a lot of effort into getting a divorce. She

    Yasmin frowned.Brian would do anything to overthrow Blake.However, Yasmin had no intention of aiding him. She pursed her lips and asked, "Have you thought about what would happen if you failed? If Blake found out that you were plotting against him, do you think he'll let you off?""Then let's fight to the death. After all, it's time for the Ford family to split up and divide the inheritance."He continued casually, "Or we could poison him with an odorless poison. Put a bit in his food every day. After the deed is done, he'll be too weak to go after you. Then you'll have real freedom to go anywhere you want."Yasmin thought that Brian was insane. She hissed, "I'll never do it."As she was about to leave, Brian grabbed her by the arm and said maliciously, "Yasmin, don't do it for your sake, but what about your father?"Yasmin's heart sank. She turned to look at him, "What have you done to my dad?""He's not at the nursing home anymore." Brian's lips slightly curled into a smi

    "If you want your father to return alive, don't go to the police."Yasmin's heart was as cold as ice.Her dad was her only family member. Her heart was a mess, and she didn't know what to do.Brian's message came again. "Go back to Blake and find a project file labeled FH221 for me."Yasmin gripped her phone, and her phone buzzed once again. "You have one week."The chill in the air seemed to freeze Yasmin's heart. She couldn't stop shivering.…It was night when she returned home and stoically entered Newphoria Bay.She threw her bag on the couch and sat down dejectedly. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but the villain wouldn't let her off.Yasmin closed her eyes. Her mind was a mess.Finally, Yasmin opened her eyes.She couldn't give up, even though things looked bleak. She had a week to find her father and rescue him.There was a determined glint in her eyes when she thought about this. Yes, as long as she had time, she wouldn't give up.She walked upstairs and entere

    Yasmin had planned on lying to Blake. But facing him now, she just felt aggrieved. She had been hurt and rendered helpless over and over again. So before she could say anything, she started to cry."Why are you crying?" Blake gazed at her softly as her tears fell.Yasmin replied through sobs, "I just feel like crying.""Such a crybaby," Blake teased. He took a tissue and dabbed her tears dry.Yasmin felt even more aggrieved and cried even more bitterly.Blake waited for a while. When he realized that there was no stopping the waterworks, he finally said, "No more crying."Yasmin tried to contain herself. Her nose was red, but she no longer looked dispirited.Blake smiled. "You're suddenly so obedient."Blake didn't do anything to her that night. He let her sleep in the master bedroom while went to sleep in the study.…The next day, Yasmin woke when someone knocked at the door. In a daze, she heard a woman's sweet voice say, "Mr. Ford, are you awake?"Yasmin was stun

    Mary served the food.Yasmin asked her, "Mary, why are there so many bodyguards at Oak Garden today?"Mary shook her head. "I don't know. They were just transferred here today. There aren't normally so many bodyguards here."Yasmin pondered for a while. She felt like Blake was guarding against her.But she wasn't planning on stealing anything. She just wanted to stall for time.Yasmin left Oak Garden and took an Uber to Erinnyes.She needed to find a safe place—somewhere no one could monitor her.Upon reaching the studio, she immediately borrowed Eunice's phone. Puzzled, Eunice asked her, "Yaz, what's wrong? Why do you look so anxious?""Nothing much. Just lend me your phone first.” Yasmin was afraid that her phone had been bugged, so she had no choice but to use Eunice's.Eunice readily handed her phone to Yasmin and asked, "Yaz, have you been busy with your family's company lately? Are those creditors looking for you every day?"Eunice knew about Yasmin's situation, but she

    "I understand." Yasmin nodded. "Eunice bought me a new phone and SIM card last time. I'll be using that one for now.""Okay. Wait to hear back from me," were Ivan's last words before ending the call.Yasmin's heart started to race. Luckily, Ivan was willing to help her. If not, she really didn't know who else to turn to.Yasmin felt relieved. She looked for her spare phone in one of her drawers and charged it at the office.Unexpectedly, as she was charging the phone, Brian called her. Yasmin was so shocked that her hand shook. She put down the other phone and took a few deep breaths before answering the call."What are you doing now?" Brian asked.Yasmin stiffened as she replied stiffly, "I'm at work.""What's the update on the thing I asked you to do?"Yasmin tried to calm her palpitating heart and said offhandedly, "There are a bunch of bodyguards at Oak Garden now. I can't enter the study."Yasmin was suddenly thankful that there were a bunch of bodyguards at Oak Garden.

    "I know." Brian's lips curled into a smile as he added, "So I'm waiting. I'll wait until he detests you, then I'll have you for myself." He fixed his eyes on Yasmin's chest after saying this. With an unapologetic laugh, he blurted, "Then you'll be mine."Yasmin broke out in a cold sweat.So that was Brian's plan. He wanted to use Yasmin to hurt Blake. And when Blake became disappointed in Yasmin, Brian would make her his woman. With that, he'd get both the project and the woman. Yasmin felt that Brian was very insidious. Still, she didn't say anything in front of Brian. As Ivan was looking for her father, she didn't want to act rashly and make Brian suspicious of her.…Brian dropped her in front of a Michelin-star restaurant. He ordered in a low voice, "Tonight's your best chance. You'd better do this right. If not, your dad's a dead man."Yasmin's heart sank. She put on a blank face and numbly entered the restaurant.Upon entering, she encountered a new problem. Brian h

    Tanya's eyes were as clear as crystals. She sat there, as pretty as a fairy. Her husband would occasionally check in on her and ask for her thoughts. He doted on her, and his devotion spilled out of his eyes. They obviously loved each other very much."Are you feeling a little bored?" Tanya asked her.Yasmin nodded.Tanya smiled and added, "Can't understand what they're saying, right?"Yasmin agreed honestly.Tanya chatted with her for a bit.Upon conversing with Tanya, Yasmin discovered that Lemuel and Tanya were from a city down south called Sutton City. The couple had purposefully made the trip here to discuss the big project with Blake.Once the project was successful, the two companies could take their businesses to the next level.When she learned from Tanya that the Morgan family was the richest in Sutton City, Yasmin realized that this project was extremely important.So that's why Brian wanted to get his hands on the file.

    Upon reaching home, Yasmin helped Blake into the master bedroom upstairs. She placed him on the bed and went to get his pajamas.Just as her fingers touched the pajamas, Blake hugged her from behind. His big, burning body enveloped her, and he put his lips to her ear. He laughed softly and said, "Did you get jealous tonight?"Yasmin stiffened, and she almost dropped the pajamas."Why are you still awake?" Blake's arms encircled her, and he squeezed her tight. He smiled and said, "I wasn't really drunk."Before Yasmin could react, Blake bent over and kissed her.Yasmin was shocked but closed her eyes.Seeing that she didn't resist him, Blake deepened the kiss. She could taste the alcohol on his tongue.Yasmin secretly opened her eyes and glanced at Blake.He wasn't completely sober, appearing a little drunk. He lifted Yasmin's arms and hung them around his neck.Yasmin couldn't be intimate with Blake anymore. After Yasmin had given up on him, this type of intimacy only dis

    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
