Ivan noticed it. He gave her a gentle smile and said, "Sorry, I was too close, wasn't I?"

Yasmin replied, "No worries. You don't have to apologize."

She believed that it wasn't intentional.

Ivan helped her sit down in the consultation room.

When the doctor asked her questions, she answered them meekly and obediently.

She was a woman who left a great first impression upon first sight. She was pretty, but not threatening.

Ivan observed her from the side. Once the doctor was finished with the report, he went over and helped her up. "Ms. Starr, I'll walk you to the X-ray room."

"Thanks," Yasmin said. Ivan grabbed her bag and casually looped it around his arm.

Yasmin was slightly taken aback but said nothing. She went to the X-ray room with him.

There was a queue for the X-ray machine. Ivan sat down next to her. He pierced the box of strawberry milk with a straw and held it to her lips. "Have some milk."

"Thank you." Yasmin took the milk and sipped at it quietly. Her long hair ca

    "Alright." Ivan bade Giselle goodbye, then left with Yasmin.Yasmin walked for a bit. Suddenly, she turned her head to see Giselle pointing her phone at them, taking a photo of her and Ivan.Their eyes met.Giselle lowered her phone. Then, she cocked her head and smiled.Yasmin knew that Giselle was going to show the photo of her and Ivan to Blake.What a scheming little vixen.Yasmin was confident that Giselle would make things seem more significant than it really was.And she wasn't wrong. After getting back, Giselle texted Blake, "Blake, do you know what Yasmin is up to? I saw her and Ivan together at the hospital earlier."Confused, Blake replied with a question mark. Giselle sent the photo of Yasmin and Ivan. "I saw Ivan taking Yasmin to the hospital. Ivan was holding her purse, and they looked intimate."Blake was in the middle of dinner at home. When he saw the photo, he was shocked."Sir, the chicken soup is ready. Shall I fetch you a bowl now, or would you like to

    Yasmin felt a little awkward. "Thanks for sending me home.""It's what I should do. By the way, I've asked someone to send your car for repair. When it's done, I'll let you know.""Thanks so much.""It's nothing." Ivan smiled.He was so detail-oriented.Yasmin could only say one thing. "Thank you!"Ivan parked his car outside the Oak Garden. He peered at the minimalist villa with dark eyes. "You live here?""Yes. Thanks for sending me home." Yasmin didn't say anything further. She took the cake and got down."Yasmin!" Ivan suddenly called out.Yasmin turned around, still holding the cake. The moonlight made her soft features dazzle. "What is it?""I think you're really great." Ivan smiled softly. "Both you and your work are great. What do you think about working together with the NAS Group? We could start something revolutionary."Something revolutionary?Yasmin's heart throbbed.She would be lying if she said it didn't.After working hard for so many years, she craved su

    Blake's rage was now evident on his face. He chuckled coldly and said, "You want to cheat on me, don't you?""You also cheated on me. Furthermore, if I didn't give you permission, would you break things off with Giselle?" she said, smiling happily.Blake's eyes froze over. "Not a chance."Yasmin already knew that he wouldn't end things with Giselle.Thus, she spread her hands. "See? You two got together and made him suffer alone. Do you think that's fair? Nonetheless, I got over it. Since you don't love me, then you can go be with the one you like. "However, I still need an angel to soothe my soul, so don't stop me. We can find our own happiness, and we don't have to fight at home anymore. Isn't that a good thing?"As he listened to what she said, his gaze darkened. He suddenly grabbed her hand and said darkly, "Don't you dare."Yasmin jumped in fright. He had grabbed her swollen left hand. She frowned in pain. "You're hurting me."Only then did Blake realize that her wrist wa

    Blake was pressing very closely to Yasmin, but she couldn't back away. She replied, "Of course. Mr. Burke is a pretty nice person.""What if he finds out that you're married and doesn't want you anymore?" Blake said coldly."Then I'll find someone else. There are more fish in the sea. With my looks, I'm sure I can find someone.""It seems like you've made up your mind to cheat."Yasmin laughed. "You refuse to get a divorce, so I have no other choice. If you can have someone else, then so can I. Everyone will be happy then. This is only fair."Blake stared at her seriously. He appeared to be still convinced that she was playing tricks. Then, he said darkly, "Fine. I want to see whether he'll still love you when he finds out the truth.""If you don't get involved, I'm sure our relationship will progress well." Yasmin smiled."I don't have that much free time." Blake snorted coldly. Then, he said while smiling, "As for your figure…"Before he finished speaking, he yanked the colla

    That night, Yasmin slept like a baby.The next morning, after Yasmin got changed, her phone rang.Walking over to the bedside table, she saw Annalise's name flash on her phone screen.The blind date was just yesterday, and Annalise was already calling today. It seemed like she was really eager."Hello, Annalise," Yasmin answered."You met Ivan yesterday, right? How do you feel about him?" Annalise pressed."Mr. Burke is great.""Do you plan to continue getting to know him?" Annalise asked again.Yasmin was silent for a moment. "I can give it a try."She thought Ivan was a great person, but he most likely didn't know her real circumstances. Yasmin planned to tell him the next time she saw him and tell him that Blake was her husband.She didn't like lying."He's really an outstanding person you can't find anywhere. If he likes you, you have to seize the opportunity."In truth, Yasmin had gotten lucky.Initially, Annalise wanted to introduce her to an executive, but the execu

    Yasmin turned back and saw Blake leaning against the door. He was even exuding an inexplicable charm.Life was indeed unfair. Not only did Blake have unrivaled authority, but he also possessed a perfect and seductive appearance. "Did you buy this?" asked Yasmin.Blake's gaze met hers, and he smiled. "Yes, you can take it if you like it.""Oh," Yasmin responded.Then, she placed the purse back in its position. The pink diamond necklace he had given her previously was still in the closet. Yasmin would never take things that did not belong to her.When Blake saw Yasmin putting the purse back, his expression, which had softened, turned icy again. "You don't want it?" he asked in a low voice. Yasmin replied, "No need. This purse is too expensive. I can't afford to pay you back if I damage it."I'll just take a look at the design and create one myself. You should give it to Giselle. I'm sure she'll like it."After putting down the purse, Yasmin went to find Blake's shirt. On

    Just moments ago, Yasmin had said Blake was a weirdo. Unfortunately, he overheard Yasmin's comment.Giselle, on the other hand, fixed her gaze on the purse on Yasmin's desk. It was unclear what was going through her mind, but her eyes revealed a hint of coldness. "Blake, you heard that, didn't you? Yasmin has always thought you're a weirdo," Roxy commented.Yasmin was somewhat stunned after hearing that. She had said that as a joke. In the next second, she looked at her assistant. The assistant who brought Blake, Giselle, and Roxy in said, "Ms. Starr, these two ladies said they know you. So, they want to order a customized gown."Erinnyes offered a gown customization service. However, as the brand was not famous enough, very few clients came to look for them. Yasmin stood up and explained, "Sorry, I was just joking with Eunice earlier."After saying that, she glanced at Blake. Yet, it seemed like he was ignoring her. Blake looked away, his gaze intense.Yasmin noticed his

    This section was dedicated to high-end luxury customization gowns. Giselle glanced at the dresses before asking, "Did you design all these evening gowns?""Yes," answered Yasmin.Giselle immediately complimented, "They're lovely."Roxy chimed in, "Giselle, I remember you can dance. Why don't you choose a flowy gown?"That way, it'd be a beautiful scene when you dance with Blake at the birthday party.""It does sound beautiful," Giselle replied. Then, she pointed at a white evening gown and asked Blake, who was beside her, "Blake, what do you think about the white one?""It's fine," Blake answered gently after glancing at the gown. "I'll try that, then." Giselle turned to Yasmin, smiling as she requested, "Yasmin, could you please get me that?"Yasmin stood there with her head down but beamed after hearing those words. "Of course."She then asked her assistant to take the gown down for Giselle to try on. "Blake, let me try on this gown first. Wait for me here," Giselle s

    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
