After entering the villa, Yasmin sat silently on the couch.Blake asked, "What do you want for dinner?"She ignored him, using silence to resist his dominance.Blake's phone rang again. Just as Yasmin returned to Oak Garden, Annalise's call came. Blake laughed coldly and answered it.Annalise asked, "Blake, did you take Yasmin home again? What are you trying to do? Can you only be satisfied once you've driven me crazy?"Blake glanced at Yasmin. She seemed to hear Annalise's words and sneered mockingly.The situation was indeed tricky. As long as she came back, Annalise would immediately know their whereabouts.At this moment, Yasmin wished Annalise could get him under control.Unexpectedly, Blake, as if he had made up his mind, said solemnly, "Yes. I want to be with her."Annalise paused, frowning. "Blake, are you crazy? Don't you know her father caused your father's death?"Of course, Blake knew. But at this moment, he had lost all reason and said coldly, "Remove the informa
Blake lifted his gaze when Malcolm continued, "He's dead, too."Hearing this, Blake was shocked and suddenly kicked the glass coffee table in front of him, shattering it instantly.Yasmin, startled, looked over to see his face illuminated by the light, emanating a cold and terrifying air.She felt that he had gone mad and had become very scary. Instinctively, she hid behind the couch, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.Blake ignored her, his face cold as he asked, "How did he die?"Malcolm replied, "When we found him, he was dead in his apartment, said to be due to a drug overdose."Mr. Ford, I find this too suspicious. Everyone we investigate ends up dead. It feels like someone is manipulating things from behind the scenes…"Blake's expression grew even darker. "Investigate it thoroughly!"He wanted to know who was behind all this.After ending the call, the villa fell into silence. The shattered glass from the coffee table lay scattered, and Blake stood in front of it,
After a while, Blake came to knock on the door again. He said in a hushed voice, "Yasmin."Yasmin hadn't slept yet, but she didn't want to respond to him, so she stayed silent.Blake continued speaking at the door, "Yasmin, open the door, or else you can forget about seeing your father this month."Yasmin was stunned. She hadn't expected that he had become so ruthless that he would even use her father to threaten her just because she wouldn't open the door.With a cold face, she got out of bed and went to open the door.Blake stood at the door, his face gloomy and dark. "Who allowed you to sleep in the guest room? Go back to the master bedroom.""I don't want to sleep there," Yasmin replied.Blake said indifferently, "You don't want to coexist peacefully with me, is that it?"There was a warning in his words.Yasmin frowned slightly, but he had already grabbed her and pulled her to the master bedroom. "Go to bed and sleep."She refused to go.So, he picked her up completely
"Blake, what exactly are you trying to do?" She couldn't hold it in anymore and frowned."Taking you downstairs for breakfast," Blake said, carrying her downstairs.The shattered glass coffee table on the first floor had already been cleaned up.The dining table was filled with her favorite nutritious breakfast."Did you make this?" Yasmin looked at him."Yes." He had gotten up early to make it. He placed the utensils in her hand and said, "Eat."Yasmin was slightly surprised.Blake continued, "Starting today, take a break for now. Don't go to work."Yasmin paused with the fork in her hand. "Are you imprisoning me?""No. You can still go out, go shopping, eat, and meet your friends, but Tyler will follow you everywhere you go."How was having someone follow her any different from imprisonment?Yasmin was so angry she let out a laugh. "Are you so afraid I'll run away?""Your father is in the country, so you won't run," Blake said with certainty.Yasmin's expression turned u
Yasmin went upstairs, carrying her bag.The employees at Erinnyes were gathered around Eunice, who had brought her baby along. Everyone was praising the little one, "The baby is so chubby and cute…"When Yasmin walked in, everyone was stunned. "Ms. Starr, aren't you supposed to be in Merania?"Everyone had thought Yasmin had already left for Merania.Eunice was also surprised. "Yaz, why are you at the company?"Facing everyone's questions, Yasmin could only say, "There were some things that weren't settled yet, so I was delayed for a few days."No one doubted her, and they asked if she continue to come to work.Yasmin smiled and said, "Probably."Among everyone, only Eunice noticed that Yasmin's words were insincere.After everyone finished asking, Eunice carried the baby and took Yasmin upstairs to her office. They sat on the couch, and Yasmin played with the baby for a while.The baby looked at her with big, grape-like eyes, smiling happily. Even Yasmin was infected by his
Eunice ended the call with a blissful smile and said to Yasmin, "Yaz, let's go."The two walked out together.Tyler and the others were waiting at the door. As soon as they saw her, they got out of the car. "Mrs. Ford, Mr. Ford said you have to be back at Oak Garden by 7:00 pm."Yasmin was frustrated. "I'm just having dinner with Eunice. You guys can follow from behind.""Sorry, Mrs. Ford." Tyler and the others only took orders from Blake.Yasmin, with a cold expression, had no choice but to call Blake.At that moment, Blake was on his way home. He was somewhat surprised to receive her call. "Why are you calling me? What's up?""I'm going out to dinner with Eunice tonight. Tell Tyler and the others to let me go and stop blocking me.""Why do you want to have dinner with her?" Blake asked.Yasmin explained, "Eunice just finished her postpartum recovery and can finally eat outside food. She invited me out for dinner tonight. It's a rare occasion, and I want to go."Hearing her
The private investigator, Cole Massey, immediately said, "Mr. Ford, I wasn't photographing you.""Is that so?" Blake chuckled, his tone indifferent. "Give me his camera."Tyler snatched the camera and handed it to Blake, who opened it up and saw the photos. Obviously, the photos were of him and Yasmin.Blake sneered. "Were you really not photographing me?"Cole was so frightened that he was sweating. His voice trembled as he said, "Mr. Ford, I'm just trying to make a living. It was your mother who gave me some money to follow Ms. Starr…""Besides my mother, who else hired you?""N-No one else…""If you don't tell the truth, I'll break one of your legs."Hearing this, Cole was terrified and began to tremble. "Lizzie also paid me to inform your mother immediately if anything happened.""Just as I thought." Blake's expression was unreadable as he pocketed Cole's camera. "I'm taking your camera. Go back and tell my mother the full story and ask her to compensate you for the camera
"What does he want you to tell me?" Annalise prompted.Cole glanced at Lizzie, then braced himself and said, "Ms. Lizzie also paid me to follow Ms. Starr. She wanted me to keep an eye on her and report any movements to you immediately…"Lizzie's expression changed, and she angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever ask you to do that?""Ms. Lizzie, please don't make it hard for me. Mr. Ford said if I didn't tell Mrs. Ford the truth, he'd break one of my legs…" Cole kept his head down.Lizzie's expression turned extremely unpleasant.Annalise asked her, "Lizzie, did you also hire Mr. Massey to follow them?"Lizzie's face turned pale, and she explained softly, "Aunt Anna, you asked me to try pursuing Blake last time, but he pushed me away and went to Yasmin. I was just too upset, so I did this…"Annalise looked at Lizzie. She was exceptionally beautiful, and her eyes were starting to well up with tears.Annalise couldn't bear to blame her anymore and said,
