After a moment of silence, Carlos said coldly, "I'll have you know that I'm very dissatisfied with you. I want to change to another project manager. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to see me anymore."

With that, he ended the call.

Yasmin frowned in response. Blake, sitting across from her, glanced over and asked, "Was that Carlos on the phone?"

"What does it have to do with you?" She put down the phone and continued reading the document in front of her.

"Judging by your expression, I guess you got rejected?" Blake gloated as he leaned closer, scrutinizing her under the light. "He doesn't want you? Then why don't you choose me instead?"

He got close, and the fresh scent of cedar overwhelmed her. Yasmin felt uncomfortable and retreated a little. "Get lost," she spat.

"What if I don't?"

"Fine. If you won't leave, I will." Yasmin refused to stay in the same space with him any longer, so she picked up her phone and left.

However, as she walked past him, he grabbed her hand and pul

    Elise gritted her teeth, seemingly lost in thought.She recalled a previous competition where Yasmin's designs far surpassed her own. Now that Elise had just started to gain some recognition, she didn't want Yasmin to overshadow her at an event like this.As such, she concealed her emotions and walked up to Yasmin, asking gently, "Yasmin, what are you doing here? Are you here for the fashion show?""Yes." Yasmin opened her suitcase and took out the clothes inside.The clothes looked glamorous even before they were worn by the models.Elise glanced at them, and the corners of her mouth twitched ever so slightly. "Weren't you in prison before? How do you have designs ready for the fashion show as soon as you're out? Are these clothes really your own designs?""Are you thinking that I didn't do anything in there?" Yasmin looked at her, her lips curving into a smile. Her cold and aloof expression carried a hint of provocation.Elise clenched her fists tightly.Yasmin no longer

    Without an ounce of emotion, Blake replied, "She said things she shouldn't have, so I warned her."Carlos wouldn't let it go just like that. He demanded, "Yasmin bullied Elise to that extent. Shouldn't you handle this matter?"Blake said in a deep voice, "You should take care of your own heart and not get involved with a woman you shouldn't be interested in."After saying that, he walked into the venue with heavy steps.Carlos' expression turned icy....In the backstage area, Yasmin was helping the models with their outfits, her back facing Roxy as she worked.Roxy hid behind a rack of clothes, resentment boiling within her.She had seen Yasmin's new designs, which were indeed outstanding. Roxy was unhappy and didn't want Yasmin to gain fame. Thinking for a moment, she took out a packet of laxatives and poured them into several cups of water on the table.After ingesting the laxatives, the models would be too busy dealing with upset stomachs and wouldn't have time to walk t

    "It's all because of that despicable Yasmin. I'll definitely make her pay later!" Roxy's face was pale as she spoke. Another wave of flatulence hit her. She clutched her stomach so tightly that she bit down on her dress.She had taken too much of the laxatives, and now her stomach wouldn't stop churning."You're useless!" Elise was furious. Carlos' sister, Michelle, would also be present tonight.Michelle was two years older than Carlos. At the age of 27, she was currently the head of Ferguson Jewelry.Ferguson Jewelry was a renowned family of jewelers, always trending in the fashion industry.As soon as Michelle entered the venue, she noticed a certain man in the corner. Even though he was sitting in a dimly lit area, he was extraordinarily eye-catching."Michelle, what're you looking at?" Carlos asked as he came over to greet her.Michelle replied, "That must be Mr. Ford from Windmere Group, right? Elise's brother?"Elise always claimed to be Blake's sister, which was why

    "Yes, she became quite famous half a year ago. Her designs were especially beautiful. I wanted to ask her to design a few sets of dresses for me at the time, but she disappeared without a trace..."As Michelle spoke, the show had already ended, and a slender woman came onstage. She held a microphone and slowly walked forward.Her stunning face gradually emerged from the darkness. She was tall and confident, wearing a long tail suit that hugged her figure perfectly, making her appear as elegant as a swan.The audience gasped in admiration."The designer is so beautiful!""Have you all forgotten? She's the designer from Erinnyes who rose to fame half a year ago. I saw her at a show back then.""What? Didn't she disappear? How did she become a designer for NAS Group?""Maybe NAS Group poached her with a high salary!"The crowd was buzzing in discussion, all amazed by Yasmin's appearance and talent.In the venue, only Blake was silent as he sat in the darkness. Hearing so many peo

    Blake's expression turned cold. Just as he was about to take action, Yasmin suddenly flipped Roxy over, grabbed her by the hair, and held her firmly against the ground. Then, Yasmin looked down at her condescendingly. "Roxy, how's that? I learned this from the prison officer. Does it hurt?"Roxy struggled to break free. She screamed frantically, "Yasmin! Let me go! I'll kill you!""Kill me? How? Have you lost your mind since you couldn't harm me?""Just you wait! I won't let you off the hook!" Roxy screamed in a rage.Yasmin pinched Roxy's cheek and said with a cold expression, "Alright. But before you take revenge against me, I'll send you to the police station first."Roxy was stunned. "What did you say?""I recorded what you did earlier. As long as I take the evidence to the police station with Mr. Sullivan as my defense lawyer, you rotting in jail will be inevitable!"Roxy was terrified.Although she was malicious, she was an unintelligent simpleton.

    Yasmin nodded. "Alright, let's go see your sister."Carlos walked out, and Yasmin followed closely behind.On the other hand, Blake grabbed her wrist and reminded her, "Don't go too far."Yasmin ignored him and shook off his hand, wordlessly walking away.Carlos was waiting outside and seemed to have witnessed the exchange. He took a few steps forward and asked, "What did Mr. Ford say to you just now?""He's trying to pursue me, but I rejected him." Yasmin smiled mischievously.Carlos' face turned cold. "I wasn't joking with you.""I wasn't joking either. Why don't you ask him yourself if you don't believe me? I won't even give him a fraction of my attention, you see." Yasmin's long hair draped over her shoulders. Admittedly, she was as beautiful as a fairy.Her voice was loud enough for Blake to hear, but he didn't seem to react. It was as if he accepted her words as they were.Carlos was surprised. The extraordinary Blake Ford was so humble in front of Yasmin.What charm di

    Carlos straightened up and looked at Elise. "Elise, what are you doing?""I'm just wondering when you'll finally notice me," Elise said softly with a pout.Carlos laughed and rubbed the top of her head. "I always know when you're with me. I was just thinking about something.""What were you thinking about?" Elise bit her lip and said sadly, "I feel like Michelle really likes Yasmin..."Carlos glanced over and comforted her, "My sister likes you too.""Not as much as she likes Yasmin." Elise was a little worried and looked up, seeking Carlos' assurance. "Carlos, will you ignore Yasmin? I'm a little scared that she'll take you away.""That won't happen, silly," came his response....Yasmin and Michelle confirmed their meeting for tomorrow. Yasmin headed home soon after.Before she left, she instructed Sarah to take the new designs back to the studio. She then drove herself back to Bournegin Heights.As soon as she drove out of the parking lot, Blake's car followed.Yasmin g

    "What happens after? You would really date Carlos?""Yes." Yasmin nodded. "I quite like him now. If he likes me too, maybe we can get married."Blake's expression grew colder. "You're thinking too far ahead. With your family background, the Ferguson family would never accept you.""You're just afraid, aren't you? You're afraid of being rejected, and so you're panicking." Yasmin saw through him. Tilting her head, she flashed a bright, knowing smile.Blake's face was stern. "I won't allow you to continue seducing him. Do you hear me?""I didn't hear you." Yasmin's voice turned cold. "I like him, and this has nothing to do with you. I'll get married to him sooner or later, what can you do about it?"Blake's expression was extremely icy. He had followed her here to talk things out. But listening to her say that she liked Carlos and wanted to marry him, Blake felt a tightness in his chest. It was as if an inextinguishable flame was raging inside him.He couldn't help but kiss her

    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
