Yasmin fell silent.After finishing the discussion with the director, Blake walked over and smiled as he asked about Stuart's health.Then, Stuart asked, "Blakey, how come you had time to come over today?""I thought that you might need me to make some arrangements, so I came," Blake said as he glanced at Yasmin.However, Yasmin still remained silent.Stuart also glanced at her. Then, he asked Blake, "Do you still need to go back to work?""I'll go back after settling the arrangements here." Blake's answer confirmed that he had come here on purpose.Stuart then nodded and told Yasmin to see Blake out."What?" Yasmin asked, not having snapped back to reality yet.Stuart said, "Blakey purposely came here for us. Hurry up and see him out.""Alright." Yasmin glanced at Blake before turning away and walking out with him.As they walked side by side in the corridor, Yasmin asked, "Shouldn't you be in the hospital? Why did you suddenly come here? Have you removed your bandages?""
"I'm fine." Yasmin wiped her mouth after vomiting some bile. She still had occasional morning sickness.She got up and rinsed her mouth with water.Then, Blake asked her, "Why did you suddenly vomit? Is your stomach acting up again?"Yasmin was about to brush her teeth when she heard his voice. After a moment of silence, she replied, "It's nothing.""I feel like you've been sleeping a lot lately. Usually, you wake up at 7:00 am or 8:00 am, but recently, you've been sleeping until 9:00 am or 10:00 am. And you often take naps in the afternoon..."Upon hearing his words, Yasmin frowned. She'd almost blurted out that she was pregnant, but she held back.After all, telling him that she was pregnant now would be like agreeing and making up with him. Yasmin still didn't want that. She still wanted some time to herself.So, she just said, "My stomach's just a bit uncomfortable. It's nothing. You don't have to worry. "By the way, are you getting your bandages removed this afternoon?"
After more than ten minutes, Malcolm returned with a pale face and reported in a low voice, "Sir, Mrs. Ford has been kidnapped..."Blake's eyes darkened, and he had an ominous look as he turned to Malcolm. "What did you say?"Malcolm showed Blake the surveillance footage. "This is the surveillance footage from this morning. Mrs. Ford left Newphoria Bay and took a taxi, but then, she disappeared.""What about surveillance footage from other places?""They'd all been intentionally destroyed," Malcolm answered.A cold glint flashed across Blake's eyes. "Are you telling me that she disappeared after getting into the taxi?""Yes."So, it was a premeditated kidnapping.Blake's expression was blank as he asked, "Can we track down the driver?""No..." Malcolm said. But upon seeing Blake's ominous expression, he changed his phrasing and replied, "We haven't found him yet. Our people need some time. The kidnapping was premeditated.""It could be Brian." Brian was the only suspect that
Just as Janice was about to put on a pitiful act, Blake ran out of patience. He tightened his grip, causing her face to turn white."I'll talk! I'll talk..." Janice couldn't breathe, and her face was turning purple.But just as she was about to suffocate, Blake finally let go.Janice fell back to the ground, drenched in sweat and looking wretched.Blake looked down at her. His face was expressionless as he asked, "Where is Brian hiding?"Janice held her neck and took a few breaths before weakly saying, "I don't know. He just sent me an email."Upon hearing this, Blake took a step toward her.Janice was frightened and moved back. She trembled as she explained, "Even though I don't know where he is, I can show you the email. You can trace it through the IP address..."Blake finally stopped in his tracks and called Malcolm over.Janice breathed a sigh of relief as her heart raced. Then, as soon as Malcolm brought the computer over, she typed in her email.Malcolm opened the emai
Blake's murderous gaze gradually faded as he listened to Malcolm's words. He kicked Janice away and coldly said, "Change your face back to your original look. If I ever see you imitating her again, I'll disfigure you."Janice's head hit the coffee table. She then shivered uncontrollably, not daring to say a word.After that, Blake walked out with Malcolm following behind.Blake glanced at the cloudy sky. Then, he got into the car.Throughout the car ride, Blake reflected on and regretted his actions. He thought about how he shouldn't have tried to surprise Yasmin. If he had personally picked her up at Newphoria Bay and taken her to NAS Group, she wouldn't have gotten kidnapped.Upon thinking of this, Blake's eyes grew dark and gloomy.Suddenly, his phone rang.It was a call from Roxy.Blake answered it."Blake, why are you having people watch us and not letting us go out? This is illegal confinement, you know?" Roxy angrily complained on the other end of the line. She co
"I didn't," Yasmin said, denying it. Brian was acting like a madman now. So, Yasmin didn't want to anger him and risk suffering the consequences."You didn't? Then why did you give me a fake document?""I never touched the document. I saw the FH221 written on it and took a picture. I didn't think too much about it at the time...""You lied to me." Brian's cold fingertips tightly pinched Yasmin's chin. His menacing eyes bore a hole into her as he said, "If you had really deceived him, how could he have forgiven you? "After you disappeared, he issued a warrant to the entire city. Yet, you're still lying and saying that you're on my side?""He's looking for me?" Yasmin was surprised."Yes. His people are monitoring the customs stations and the airports. It's difficult to leave Stanton City."Yasmin was stunned. She didn't expect that Blake would mobilize a city-wide search to find her."I won't let you off so easily for doing this to me," Brian said with a cold smile, a malic
For the sake of the child, Yasmin had to say this. Otherwise, if these men forced themselves on her, the child would definitely be in danger.Yasmin couldn't hide the fact that she was pregnant anymore. She said, "You can humiliate me if you want, but if something happens to Blake's child, your whole family will suffer. Do you really want to cause trouble for your whole family? "If you want a way out, you can go abroad. With money, you can still live well. There's no need to go seeking death, right?"Yasmin was betting now—she was betting that Brian still wanted to live and that his family's lives mattered to him.After hearing this, Brian narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He smiled and said, "Yasmin, you really surprise me every time."He then got up and walked over to Yasmin. He casually pushed aside a bodyguard and squatted in front of her. "How many months has it been?""Almost four months," Yasmin quickly replied and breathed a sigh of relief. She had won the bet. Br
Or was she lying to Brian on purpose to buy time?Blake couldn't figure out what was going on. But suddenly, he thought about how Yasmin had been behaving around him recently.She always had a good appetite and would occasionally vomit. She was also very attentive to her stomach whenever she was going out. Not to mention, her waist had become a bit thicker than before.Blake then suddenly recalled the time when she was in the hospital's obstetrics department. She had bumped into him and looked panicked.Blake narrowed his eyes. So, at that time, she was already pregnant?But why didn't she tell him?Just as Blake was lost in thought, the phone beside him rang.Blake picked it up. He said coldly, "Hello?""Blake, it's me," Brian's voice came from the other end of the line. "Your wife and child are in my hands. I advise you not to act rashly."Brian emphasized the word "child".Blake's eyes narrowed. He said in a deep voice, "What do you want?""I want you to prepare a pri
