"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
Yasmin felt anxious as she drank the water.Coincidentally, another pregnant woman was beside her. While Yasmin was getting water, she blocked her hand from Brian's view and slipped a note into the pregnant woman's hand.After getting the water, Yasmin casually walked away as if nothing had happened.The pregnant woman glanced at Yasmin only after she had left. Then, she saw Yasmin quietly sitting in front of several men and drinking the water.Everything seemed normal, but Yasmin's face was very pale.The pregnant woman had a strange feeling in her heart. Then, she walked a few steps away before opening the note Yasmin had given her.It read, "My name is Yasmin Starr. I'm being threatened. Please contact my husband and tell him that I'm here. His phone number is..."Yasmin had secretly written this note while she was in the basement.She had thought that if she couldn't find an opportunity to escape, it would be better to seek help than to do nothing at all.The pregnant wo
Brian laughed grimly. "Good. Blake tricked me into coming here for an ultrasound and set me up. "Yasmin, it's not that I don't want you alive, but Blake doesn't want you alive. If you want to blame anyone, blame him."Then, Brian pulled the trigger.At that moment, Yasmin felt a chill engulfing her from head to toe. It sent shivers down her spine.Perhaps she was truly going to die now.As death approached, time seemed to slow down. But suddenly, a strange courage surged within Yasmin. And in that instant, she leaped up, pushed Brian away, and ran.Shocked, Brian pulled the trigger.The sound of the bullet brushed past Yasmin's ears. Then, she heard a "bang" as the bullet lodged itself into the body.However, the one who fell to the ground was Brian.Brian's shot earlier had missed. Then, a shot from the front door had hit Brian, and he'd fallen to the ground.Then, a tall, dark figure ran from around the corner and held Yasmin in a warm embrace.Yasmin was stunned and ca
Mary chuckled as she went downstairs. "Coming right up."Yasmin was still groggy from waking up. So, she stared blankly into space as she sat on the bed.Blake gently spooned some warm soup into Yasmin's mouth. "You're in the fourth month of your pregnancy. The doctors said that you and the baby are doing great."Yasmin cocked her head slightly before realizing what Blake meant. She looked at him with sparkling eyes.Then, Blake beamed and said, "I know about your pregnancy now. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"Despite his nagging, Blake was thrilled to learn about Yasmin's pregnancy. He was overjoyed. And upon learning that Yasmin was carrying his child, Blake was resolved to never let her leave his side.Yasmin paused briefly before saying, "I planned to tell you after we'd patch things up."Blake suddenly pulled Yasmin into his arms, taking her by surprise. Then, he promised, saying, "Now that you're carrying my child, we'll never be apart again."After Blake vowed neve
However, Yasmin was anxious about Blake's safety. "Will they come after you?"As Yasmin laid in his arms, Blake calmly remarked, "They wouldn't have the guts to. After all these years, if they could've gotten rid of me, they would've done it. Nothing's going to happen."Even though Blake had casually brushed it off, Yasmin understood the danger that lay within the shadows.Back then, Blake didn't have a father or anyone to stand up for him. In contrast, Neil had a family with three children. They would've been the ones who took care of Blake and were in charge of Windmere Group back then.Suddenly, it dawned on Yasmin that Blake had never had it easy. Besides having to face off against his own family, Blake had plenty of enemies outside as well. Everyone, including Blake, had their own struggles.Yasmin gently said, "Sounds like you've been dealing with a lot too."Under the dim light, Blake fixed his eyes on Yasmin and made a bold request. He said, "Things have been tough fo
Upon seeing the baby bump, Blake beamed and teased Yasmin, saying, "Looks like your belly is growing.""Hey!" Yasmin quickly covered her belly with her hand. Blake then playfully laughed and helped Yasmin into her outfit.Once they were done getting dressed, Blake took Yasmin's hand and guided her downstairs.Yasmin thought that Blake was only exaggerating his caring behavior as an act and didn't want to play along. So, she withdrew her hand. "I'll walk by myself."But Blake was firm and insisted on guiding her down the stairs. "No, I need to walk with you." Upon seeing how cautious Blake was, Yasmin simply shrugged.Then, when they arrived at the dining table, Yasmin reached for a cherry. But then, Blake suddenly asked, "Is it safe for you to eat cherries while you're pregnant?" He was even more jittery than Yasmin was.Yasmin was dumbfounded by his question. "I don't see any issue with it. After all, cherries are a fruit."However, Blake still quickly grabbed his phone a
