"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. This way, he would be able to overthrow
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
While she was deep in thought, Brian ordered, "Sleep with him tonight. When he's asleep, look for an opportunity to copy the contents of his laptop for me."Yasmin clutched her phone. Her heart felt heavy and weary."Who are you on the phone with?" Amid the haze in her mind, she heard Blake's distinct voice.Yasmin was stunned and quickly turned off her phone.Blake walked out and he looked at her phone in question. "Who are you calling in the middle of the night?""No one." Yasmin gripped her phone tightly. She stared at the ground, afraid to look into his eyes in case he suspected something.Blake gazed at her stiff figure for a long time.The silence made Yasmin so nervous that her heart was going crazy. To lighten the mood, she abruptly looked up at Blake and asked, "Do you have a hangover after drinking so much wine? Do you want some tea to help you sober up?"She didn't wait for his answer. "I'll make some tea for you," she said before running downstairs to the kitchen.
Yasmin gulped a breath of cold air. Her eyes were filled with tears because she was so frightened, and she cried, "I said I don't want to."Her plea was filled with fear and grief.Blake could sense this. He surprisingly managed to control himself just as he was losing to his desire. He asked in a husky voice next to her ear, "Why?"Yasmin didn't dare to say that he disgusted her. She cried, "I still can't bear to do this with you…"He looked at her questioningly. "You still can't bear me?" Yasmin nodded fearfully. "We've gone through so much. Our love has already shattered. How could we make up just like that?"Blake was silent for a while. Then, he took his hands off her face.In the dark, Yasmin's face was streaked with tears. Blake felt a little sorry for her. He bent down and tenderly kissed her. "BLAKE FORD!" Yasmin shrieked at the top of her lungs, thinking that Blake had lost control. Blake gave a muffled snort and groaned, "Stop shouting. If not, I won't be able to
Blake opened the door and entered the room.Inside, Yasmin lay on the bed with her back to him.Blake couldn't see her face, so he asked, "Still sleeping? It's already 8:00 am. Are you not getting up to get ready for work?"Yasmin stayed under the blanket, her mind still on the telephone call. She said wearily, "I'm a little tired. I want to lie down a little longer.""Are you sick?" Blake asked, sitting at her bedside.Before Yasmin could shake her head, Blake touched her forehead to check if she was running a temperature. He was assured when he discovered that her temperature was normal."Are you feeling discomfort anywhere?" He asked while looking into her eyes, deeply concerned.Yasmin suddenly felt slightly guilty under Blake's gaze and shook her head. She knew that Brian wanted to hurt Blake, but she couldn't tell Blake about it because she was afraid she would be unable to leave after telling him. Technically speaking, she had a selfish reason for concealing the mat
Yasmin heard Janice's voice but remained in the master bedroom.Blake had ordered Janice not to go upstairs, but she had disobeyed and responded playfully when Blake had called her out on it. Even so, Blake had not been enraged. It was the same way he treated Yasmin. Therefore, Blake didn't actually give Yasmin any special treatment. If Yasmin left, Janice would be able to win Blake's heart if she tried hard enough, just like Yasmin had done last time. Yasmin thought that was good too. If Blake had someone, he wouldn't come and look for her anymore—and she could finally be at peace. Even though this was what she wanted, she still felt a little sad. Perhaps it was because Blake was the father of her child.Yasmin got ready and went downstairs, but Blake had already left. She sensed that Blake was very busy lately. It was probably because that big project with Big M Enterprise was crucial. That was also why Brian was urgently trying to get his hands on that file.…Yasmin
"NO!" Yasmin cried. "He's innocent! Don't involve him in this!""In that case, do as I say. Yesterday, Blake worked overtime to change the contents of the project. Go to Windmere Group now and get me that file.""I can't do it!" Yasmin gripped the phone with tears streaming down her face."You'll be able to do it when you think of your poor old dad. Remember, I'm only giving you until noon. If you can't do it, your dad's a dead man," Brian said harshly before abruptly ending the call.He couldn't wait anymore.Out of stress and exhaustion, Yasmin cried.…At 10:00 am, Yasmin was at the entrance of Windmere Group, holding a lunch box and pacing restlessly. She walked into the company and walked out again. Her mind was a mess and full of reluctance.She didn't want to hurt Blake, but she wanted to save her dad.Ivan's rescue plan had failed. Her dad's life was now in Brian's hands, and she only had until noon. Yasmin walked in again, then walked out of the entrance countless
