Yasmin was having breakfast downstairs when Erik suddenly came and sat across from her.

He muttered, "I'm sorry!"

Recalling the incident, she looked at him and said, "You were the one who pushed me down the slope, right?"

"Yeah. Why else would I apologize to you?" Erik's face darkened a little.

Yasmin smiled. "Since you're not sincere, why bother apologizing?"

As she spoke, she sensed Erik's icy demeanor intensifying, his gaze turning even sharper.

"Yesterday, I just wanted to scare you. I didn't really intend to push you down. It was my fault."

She stirred her coffee leisurely and replied, "I'm fine. It's Blake who got injured."

"Blake told me to apologize to you," said Erik unwillingly.

If it weren't for Blake's insistence, he would not have come.

Yasmin paused in her actions. So, it was Blake who had asked Erik to apologize to her. She took a sip of her coffee, not showing her emotions, but there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes.

Erik suddenly said, "But don't think I

    Blake said, "Without my orders, Mary wouldn't dare come upstairs to disturb me." Early that morning, a group of people from the company came over for a meeting. After Mary brought them coffee, Blake ordered her not to come upstairs again.Yasmin was immediately taken aback. "Does that mean you haven't eaten anything since this morning?""And whose fault do you think this was?"Yasmin was instantly embarrassed. She didn't know he would be waiting for her all this time. She thought that if she didn't come over, he would just summon Mary to deliver the food."I'll go get you breakfast… Wait, I mean lunch right now," Yasmin said as she got out of bed and made her way downstairs.Joel and Erik were about to leave. They talked as they walked downstairs.Joel asked, "Have you apologized to Yasmin?"Erik coldly responded, "I've already apologized to her.""Can you please stop picking on her? I think Blake really likes her. You shouldn't always wear such a resentful expression when fa

    "Of course not! You're injured, so you shouldn't eat raw seafood! These are for me."Yasmin chuckled and flaunted the peeled shrimp before him, saying, "I can eat it, but you can't. The meat is so sweet and juicy!" Blake wasn't able to tolerate her smugness anymore. He grabbed her hand and brought the shrimp to his mouth. Then, he ate it.While doing so, he unintentionally licked her fingertips.It felt like an electric current just passed through her.Yasmin's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him. Blake smiled and said, "It's quite sweet."Yasmin blushed and said, "Aren't you a germaphobe? I peeled these shrimp with my own hands. Aren't you afraid you'll get a stomachache again?""If I get a stomachache, I'll hold you responsible."Yasmin was rendered speechless. Blake really was a scoundrel! He was the one who insisted on eating it, and now he wanted to blame her if he got a stomachache. As she peeled the shrimp, she grumbled, "You have such a sensitive stomach, so

    When Yasmin saw Blake remain motionless for a long time, she mustered up her courage, raised her head, and kissed him on the lips.Their lips finally touched each other.Blake shuddered, and his gaze deepened. He instantly gripped her slender waist and deepened the kiss.Yasmin struggled to breathe from the passionate kiss.She was a little scared from the kiss, but she didn't dare to push him away. She placed her hands on his chest and grabbed his loungewear. She became increasingly nervous.Blake noticed her subtle movement. He cradled the back of her head with his hand and kissed her even more passionately.Yasmin was overwhelmed.She wasn't able to endure such a passionate kiss. She raised her hand to push him away, but he just wouldn't budge.Eventually, Blake's lower half started to show a reaction.Yasmin, who was sitting on his lap, blushed. She whispered to him, "Blake, that's enough…"Everything was working just fine.Yasmin felt relieved.However, Blake refused

    Yasmin was taken aback. She spoke softly, "We didn't do anything."Annalise didn't believe her. She frowned and said, "I'm not saying anything to you because Giselle was there just now. But what if she had caught you red-handed? If the baby in her belly was frightened and something happened to it, could you take responsibility for it?"Annalise's entire attention was on the baby.Yasmin remained silent.Annalise added, "I heard from Giselle that Blake got hurt this time because of you?"Yasmin felt a sense of unease as she looked at Giselle in the distance. Giselle was carrying a bag and wearing a white dress. She smiled and waved at Yasmin.Yasmin was truly impressed by that superficial woman—no matter when or where she could always maintain a poised and graceful appearance.Yasmin hummed in assent. After all, she couldn't deny the fact that Blake had indeed got injured because of her."I don't want to make a big deal about this, but I want you to know it's time to end this. U

    Erik pondered for a moment, then turned and walked away without saying anything.Instead of going upstairs to find Blake, he got into his Pagani and drove away.Yasmin was perplexed.What a strange bunch of people.She let out a sigh.Since everyone wasn't happy with her and Blake being together, then they should probably just let it go.She went back upstairs and had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair when Blake's phone call came in.She answered the phone with an icy tone, "Hello."Blake sensed that something was wrong with her. He asked, "Why haven't you come over yet?""Why should I go over?"After a moment of hesitation, Blake said, "My leg hurts a little.""Hold on." She put down the towel and walked to the master bedroom in her slippers.Blake sat on the bed, his lips curling into a smile. "Come over here."Yasmin stopped in front of him and looked at his leg indifferently. "Where does it hurt? Do you need me to call Dr. Sawyer over?""It doesn't

    Blake's expression turned icy. "Go get her."His leg was injured, making it difficult for him to walk far."Alright, Blake. Let me help you back into bed. Sit tight. I'll go get her." Erik helped Blake back to the bed.Blake sat calmly.Erik went outside and stood behind Yasmin. "Blake wants you inside."Yasmin turned around, and when she saw Erik, her expression turned sour.He suddenly took a step forward, his gaze darting across the scene. He whispered into her ear, "I haven't told Blake about the deal you made with Aunt Anna."Yasmin stared at him coldly. "And?""In return, I need you to agree to something for me.""Why should I agree to anything?""If you don't, I'll tell Blake about your deal with Aunt Anna. I believe Blake despises your dad for manipulating him back then. When Blake finds out about it, he wouldn't be happy about it and might charge your dad with more crimes. Your dad might spend his last years behind bars."Yasmin glared at him. "Erik, I haven't done

    "Erik likes Giselle, so you can't win him over," Blake said with a dark expression. "Ivan won't marry you either, so stop dreaming.""Who knows? With my looks, maybe I have a chance?" Yasmin tilted her head as she suddenly burst into laughter."Why are you laughing?""I'm laughing at how naïve you are. How naïve can the president of the Windmere Group be?"If I work with Ivan, what do I have to lose? At most, he'll try to take advantage of me. If that happens, I'll just play the role of an innocent bunny. If it goes smoothly, I'll be an international designer in no time."By then, I'd have become a celebrity. At the very least, I could get a lot of attention and money. I have nothing to lose. ""Are you crazy?" Blake calmed himself down. He couldn't understand her at all. "I told you to give it two years. I'll make sure you become an international designer.""I don't want to wait two years," Yasmin interrupted. "I want it now. If you can't do it when someone else can, why should

    After Yasmin's initial surprise, she regained her composure.So, that was what Erik meant when he offered to help her with the divorce.It would convince Blake that she was an unruly woman who seduced his friend behind his back. Then Blake wouldn't want her anymore.The moment had finally come.Yasmin felt a pang in her heart, but she had to go along with it. It was her final test.She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ford, I'm not like you. I need some support after the divorce. As you know, my family's business is now under Victor's management. We're facing challenges, and we need some help. Otherwise, people won't be willing to do business with us."At these words, Blake's eyes fixed on her with piercing intensity.Yasmin's heart pounded in her chest. She was scared. Nonetheless, she continued, "And there's my dream. If you're not going to help me achieve it, I'm going to have to find someone who will.""So all those displays of love you showed me after we got married were f

    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
