Joel said, "Join us for the dart game, Blake."

Blake walked over and casually took a few darts. "Who's going first?"

"I'll go first." Joel threw his darts, hitting the bullseye each time.

He turned to look at Blake and smugly said, "How's that, Blake? We didn't see each other for a while. Have I improved?"

"It's alright." Noticing Joel's confident expression, Blake grinned and threw his dart.

Every dart he threw knocked one of Joel's darts away.

In the end, all five of Joel's darts were struck away, and Blake's darts landed perfectly in their original spots.

"That's incredible!" Michelle cheered and clapped.

Joel clicked his tongue and said in resignation, "Give me a break, Blake."

"Good sportsmanship comes before our friendship." Blake chuckled.

"I'm done with the game. Let's have some drinks." Seeing he couldn't win against Blake, Joel lost interest and went to the table for some drinks.

Blake hung out with Joel. Even though he was quiet, he wasn't the type to kill the moo

    Yasmin was taken aback when she fixed her gaze on Blake's hand. His long fingers enveloped her slender hand, and the scene was quite romantic.Still, Yasmin knew she had to pull herself together.Her gaze darkened. When she was about to withdraw her hand, Blake said, "Stay with me for a bit."Yasmin looked over at him.Under the dim light, Blake grabbed Yasmin's hands tightly and said in a raspy voice, "I'm having a headache. Don't let go of my hand."Hearing that, Yasmin fell into a trance.Suddenly, a faint glimmer flashed before her eyes, and it was followed by a quick succession of honks.Yasmin came back to her senses and looked over. A car lost control and sped toward them, honking frantically.Yasmin was so terrified that her pupils dilated.Her heart leaped into her throat. She squeezed her eyes shut, believing death was coming for her. Then, she felt a comforting warmth surrounding her. Hesitantly, she opened her eyes to see Blake's handsome face before her.At t

    Joel nodded.Yasmin felt a pang in her heart, and she gaped. "Is he inside?""Yes," Joel softly said.Yasmin hesitated, but she moved forward and walked inside.Malcolm was in disbelief. He wanted to enter, but Joel stopped him.He was puzzled as he turned to Joel. "Dr. Sawyer.""Stay here." Joel looked at Malcolm with a meaningful gaze. "Let Yasmin go in alone. You don't need to follow.""But… But isn't Mr. Ford…" Malcolm was on the verge of tearing up.Joel sighed. "I tricked her. But you're a grown man. Why are you so softhearted?"Malcolm was taken aback and swiftly wiped away his tears. "So you lied to Mrs. Ford?""Otherwise, why would she look so heartbroken?" Joel wanted to help Yasmin take a step forward and admit her true feelings.Yasmin hurriedly pushed open the operating room door.The smell of disinfectant reached her nose, making it difficult for her to breathe.She walked up and saw Blake lying on the bed. He looked pale under that white blanket.Yasmin g

    After Joel and Malcolm left, Yasmin closed the door and returned to the side of Blake's bed. She stared blankly ahead of her, probably still shocked at what had happened.Blake lay on the bed and glanced at Yasmin.Her eyes were all red. As she sniffled, she had this gloomy air lingering around her."Did you cry because you thought I was dead?" Blake asked.Upon hearing Blake's words, Yasmin came back to her senses and muttered, "No.""Don't deny it. You teared up, but you still won't admit it." Blake fixed his intense gaze on her. He seemed to be in a good mood.Feeling annoyed, Yasmin looked at him. "Like I said, I wasn't."Blake asked, "Yasmin, would you feel sad if I had actually died just now?"Yasmin furrowed her brows. However, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes when she heard his words.She couldn't hold back her tears. She quickly wiped them away, but the tears kept coming back. Eventually, she snapped, "Why are you saying that?" Yasmin was frustrated, not because

    Blake didn't expect Elise to be so wicked.He took a moment before nodding. He took a sip of his coffee and nonchalantly asked, "Is that enough for a death sentence?""Given how brutal the crime was, Elise likely couldn't escape the death penalty."Blake instructed, "We need the court to deliver the sentence promptly.""Got it." With that, Malcolm quickly left the room.After Malcolm left, Blake wheeled himself to the bed and lovingly looked at Yasmin. He gently tucked her in with a blanket.Yasmin suddenly opened her eyes.Blake was surprised. "Are you awake?""Yeah," Yasmin responded. She lay on the bed and asked, "Were you talking about Elise with Malcolm just now?"Blake nodded. "We've made progress in Merania. Elise is indeed a murderer, and we have both witness and evidence to support it.""Witness?""Yes. Jessika has woken up.""When did she wake up?" Yasmin was taken aback, especially when no one told her about it."She woke up two nights ago. I kept it from you

    "Who's this?" Lizzie asked.Blake glanced at Yasmin. Yasmin, who was eating broccoli, faltered upon hearing Lizzie's words."She's my wife." Blake beamed.Lizzie's face turned white. "Your wife? Aren't you divorced six months ago, Blake?""We're almost back on good terms," Blake gently said.Only then did Annalise come back to her senses. She walked over and glanced at Yasmin, asking, "Are you two getting back together? Why wasn't I clued in on this, Blake?"Blake nonchalantly said, "I've planned to patch things up with Yasmin before bringing her home to meet you and Grandpa." "Is that so?" Annalise sported a conflicted expression and apologetically looked at Lizzie. Two days ago, she agreed with Adelle to match Blake with Lizzie.But in the end, Blake and Yasmin were about to reconcile.When Lizzie heard Blake's words, her expression darkened.Blake seemed to have read their minds. He looked at Annalise and said, "After being separated from Yasmin for so long, I've fina

    In the ward, Yasmin tried to withdraw her hand from Blake's grasp. "Why did you say that just now?"Blake didn't let go of her and tightened his grip. With furrowed brows, he said, "Am I wrong? We're in the process of making up and considering remarriage."Yasmin took a deep breath and gazed at him. "Do you really think we can get back together?"Blake remained silent.With a bitter expression, Yasmin couldn't help but say, "Considering the history between our dads, can we really be together?"Can you honestly never hold it against me or hate me because of that? And when you think about your dad, could you not feel guilty?"When you're with Anna and Arthur, won't you feel bad?"Yasmin threw a series of questions. Those were the reasons why their relationship wouldn't work out.Blake looked at her, and she knew he couldn't answer.Things were too complicated between them to ever sort this matter out.Yasmin got up to leave, but Blake immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her

    For a period, Blake was tormented by how much he missed Yasmin."You might not even realize how happy I was on the day you got out of prison. I was so excited and started preparing a month in advance so that I could appear as the best version of myself in front of you."With my heart brimming with joy, I went to the prison and saw you getting into Ivan's car."I was heartbroken at that moment, but I also learned that I couldn't accept you being with anyone else but myself. "Yasmin, I couldn't bring myself to let you go."With a sad expression, Blake fixed his gaze on Yasmin.A mix of emotions washed over her, and she quickly lowered her gaze."Can you please come back to my side?" Blake hugged Yasmin tightly, his eyes showing all sorts of emotions. "We don't have to talk about it. No one will ever know."The ordeal involving James had come to an end. Everyone who needed to face the consequences had already bitten the dust.Stuart ended up in a coma, and the grudges were all o

    Yasmin went to refill warm water into the bottle outside the ward. She received a phone call from Sarah.Sarah asked, "Where are you, Ms. Starr? We have a big client at the office, and he specifically asked for you to design his clothes."Yasmin paused for a moment and replied, "I'll be back later.""Great." Sarah hung up the call.Yasmin took the bottle and walked back to the ward. When she arrived at the door, she heard Joel saying, "Your injury is healing pretty well, Blake. I don't see any signs of infection. If it hurts, ask the nurse to give you some painkillers.""Alright."Yasmin felt relieved upon hearing that. As she entered the room, Blake immediately looked over and smiled.When Joel saw Blake smiling, he seemed to have caught on to something. He instructed, "When you get home, someone will still need to change your bandages. I'll take at least two weeks for the wound to fully heal.""Yaz will take good care of me," Blake remarked as he fixed his gaze on Yasmin.

    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
