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,
"Mrs. Ford, Mr. Ford's back.""Really?" Yasmin Starr was busy with her drafts. When she heard that her husband was back, her eyes lit up. She drew the curtains before her to see a Rolls-Royce Cullinan driving along the path leading to the villa.She saw a man in the car. His handsome face was visible from where she stood; his actions and carriage exuded a regal air.It really was him!Yasmin's heart started racing. Her face burned at the thought of the things they did whenever he came home. Every kiss they shared was searing and passionate. It made her shy yet nervous.Just then, the door to her room swung open. Blake Ford walked in.Yasmin smiled at him. "Mr. B!""Come here." He loosened his tie.She walked over to him shyly. In the next second, he pulled her into his arms and gave her a hard kiss. She moaned before sinking into the kiss. Then, he carried her to the bed and had his way with her.Blake looked like the celibate and gentle type, but he was no gentleman when it came to se
Yasmin felt a little bitter. She grabbed some dark clothes from the wardrobe and returned to the room. There, she heard Blake talking to someone on the phone."Don't be scared. Have Alicia keep an eye on you. I'll be right there." His voice was a brand of tenderness that Yasmin had never heard before.She stopped short. Suddenly, the sweetness she'd felt earlier dissipated. She asked tentatively, "Who was that, Mr. B?"He glanced at her, his tall stature domineering. He said coldly, "No one.""Was it a woman?""It's none of your business." He grabbed the clothes from her and put them on. Usually, he would have her put them on for him.Would every man start to be repelled by their wives once they fell in love with someone else?Yasmin's stomach started convulsing. It looked like she had a stomach problem. She felt horrible.Blake got dressed and turned to leave. Yasmin was on high alert—a woman's sixth sense was powerful. She ran to the door and said, "I'm feeling a little sick, Mr. B.
Yasmin suddenly recalled something a friend of Blake's had once said. He'd told her, "There's a woman who lives in Blake's heart. They met in Merania, and he's pined after her for years. You and her look pretty similar, actually."At the time, Yasmin had been indignant. She felt that the woman was no match for her since she was already a thing of the past.Now, her dream had been shattered. As she watched how tender Blake was toward the woman, she felt like a sharp blade had been driven right into her heart. It hurt so much that all her organs felt like they were cramping.Blake shielded the woman from the crowd as they turned to leave. Suddenly, he caught sight of Yasmin standing not too far away. Mary was with her. He frowned.The woman asked gently, "Do you know her, Blake?""Yeah. She's my wife, Yasmin Starr," he said plainly. "Why don't you head to the car first, Giselle? I'll be right behind you.""Okay." Giselle O'Shea nodded obediently. Before she left, she turned to look at Ya
"Yaz, did you know about your precious Mr. B cheating on you?" The phone call was from Yasmin's best friend, Eunice Salle. "I saw it all over the news first thing in the morning! He's gotten together with a pianist named Giselle O'Shea, and it looks like she's even pregnant."The paparazzi caught them at the hospital together. Hurry and go check it out!"Yasmin's heart constricted. She checked the news. There were tweets everywhere on Twitter talking about the photos of Blake accompanying Giselle to the hospital last night.Blake was the CEO of Windmere Group and had countless assets under his name. He was the most eligible bachelor in the city. This was why his private life had always been under intense scrutiny.Now that he'd gotten caught accompanying a woman to the hospital, it immediately became a trending topic. The netizens had even managed to dig out Giselle's personal information.She was a renowned pianist in Merania. She and Blake were childhood sweethearts. They had a
