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

    Since she could not find any flaws in the gown, Roxy complimented, "Giselle, you look good in everything!""You're exaggerating! But Yasmin is really good at designing. This finished piece looks amazing when worn," Giselle responded with a smile. "But I feel there's too much fabric around the waist. I want it tighter. Also, the hem of the skirt is too long, and I'm worried I'll step on it and trip. I want to shorten it."As she spoke, she looked at Yasmin, asking, "Yasmin, you won't mind my requests, right?""Of course not." Since Giselle was pregnant, it was normal that she would be worried about falling. So, Yasmin asked her assistant to bring a measuring tape over. Just as her assistant was about to measure the gown, Giselle commented, "Yasmin, I'm afraid your assistant might not measure accurately. Why don't you do it yourself?""Okay." Yasmin nodded.Although somewhat uneasy, she felt better after considering the gown's price. A high-end luxury dress like that would c

    "Mr. Burke, why are you here?" Yasmin asked, surprise evident on her face."I just wanted to take a look at your studio and also check on your hand." As Ivan spoke, his gaze fell on Yasmin's left hand. "Does it still hurt today?""Not anymore," replied Yasmin. Even though she knocked her hand earlier, the pain had subsided. Ivan took out an ointment and continued, "I brought an imported cream for you. It's effective for reducing swelling and bruises. Try it.""Thank you." Yasmin accepted the ointment. Roxy was baffled as she watched their interaction. She liked Ivan, but he had always been indifferent to her. Why was he so gentle to Yasmin? Moreover, Ivan was doing it in front of Blake. Wasn't he afraid that Blake would tell him off?"Giselle, what's going on?" Roxy asked with confusion. Not only did Yasmin appear composed, but Blake and Giselle seemed unfazed, too. The situation seemed unreal to Roxy. Giselle responded gently, "Don't you know about this? Ivan and Yasmi

    "Thank you, Yasmin." Giselle broke the silence. "You're welcome." Yasmin walked over with a tape measure and remeasured the hem of Giselle's dress. Giselle said smilingly, "It seems things are going well between you and Ivan."Yasmin stiffened at her words. It must be Annalise who told Giselle about it. In other words, Annalise and Giselle got along well together. Giselle was probably a better daughter-in-law in Annalise's eyes. "Yeah." Yasmin did not say much. She asked, "Ms. Giselle, are you sure you want the hem altered to fall below your knees?""Yes." Giselle glanced at Blake. Blake did not say anything as his gaze rested on Yasmin. His expressionless face exuded a heavy sense of oppression. Yasmin stood up and glanced at him after sensing his gaze. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Giselle was standing between them as worry flashed in her eyes. She said, "Yasmin, just adjust the hem of the dress and don't touch the waist. I'm afraid it might

    In the studio, Yasmin gave the cake to the staff before taking Ivan to the men's display area. There were also various finished products, and Yasmin had designed all of them. Ivan looked at them one by one as his gaze filled with admiration. "Did you design all of them?" Yasmin nodded with a smile. "Mm-hmm. Mr. Burke, are you looking for attire for Giselle O'Shea's birthday party?""How did you know that?" Ivan was surprised. Yasmin said smilingly, "She mentioned it this afternoon, saying her birthday party will be at the end of this month."Ivan nodded. "Are you upset that she came to you for a customized dress?"Yasmin continued smiling. "Not at all. She brought business to me. Why would I be upset? Mr. Burke, what do you think about this attire?" She pointed to a dark gray formal wear set in the display case. "How's that?"Ivan looked at her. She said, "My hand is injured now. I can't design, but these finished pieces can be slightly modified."Ivan asked, "Why did yo

    Eunice went downstairs after counting the fabrics. The staff were enjoying the cake, saying it was a gift from Ivan and praising his handsome looks. Eunice asked, "Mr. Burke?"She ran upstairs and asked Yasmin, "Mr. Burke from NAS Group?"Yasmin acknowledged with a hum. Eunice asked, "Did he come to see you? And he brought a cake?"Yasmin sipped the coffee and said casually, "No, he came to order a custom attire and brought along a box of cake for me." Eunice asked, "Why?"Yasmin smiled. "No particular reason. Maybe he's just a nice person."Eunice sat down and took a bite of the cake. Then, she asked again, "What about the two scumbags? Did they leave?"Yasmin said, "Mm-hmm. I closed a 680,000-dollar deal with Giselle O'Shea." Eunice snorted, "I didn't expect mistresses these days to be so shameless, parading around in front of the legal wife."Yasmin held two receipts between her fingertips. "I don't care about them as long as I'm making money. I closed two deals today

    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
