"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
Pushing open the door, Yasmin noticed Blake sitting quietly on the couch. His tall figure was draped in a robe."What are you here for?" Yasmin was so beautifully dressed that Blake thought she was there to reconcile with him.Yasmin's eyes landed on the cast on his leg. "Didn't we agree to divorce today?"Blake's expression fell. "Well, you're certainly excited."Yasmin was silent as she waited patiently.Blake chuckled self-deprecatingly and called out, "Malcolm."Mr. Ford, looking for me?" Malcolm entered the room.Blake turned his head. "Go to the closet and get me some clothes.""Uh, Mr. Ford, isn't it usually Mrs. Ford who helps you with that?" Malcolm, unaware of what had happened between the two, scratched his head."Shall I get them for you?"Yasmin thought she would help him one last time, but Blake refused. "No need for that. Malcolm, go ahead."Malcolm reluctantly got Blake his clothes.They were left alone in the bedroom. Blake looked at her, but she remained s
"That's none of your business." Blake's tone was gloomy.Yasmin paused, pulled out a tie, and expertly wrapped it around his neck. She skillfully tied a knot.That was right. He had Giselle now. He didn't need her care anymore. Giselle, with her refined manner, would surely know how to knot a tie.When she was done with the tie, Yasmin took out a tie pin and secured it to his collar. He looked incredibly handsome in the suit. He exuded an aloof presence that kept people at a distance."All done." Yasmin smiled, ready to leave. Blake suddenly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.She looked up and found herself almost nose-to-nose with his deep, chiseled features. They locked eyes.He asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything else you want to say?"His warm breath brushed her tender lips.Yasmin's expression faltered before she regained her composure. "I hope you find happiness after the divorce." Yasmin swallowed the bitterness in her heart as she forced the word
Yasmin and Blake were silent. They were stunning when standing together, but the atmosphere was awkward.After waiting in line for a while, it was their turn.They walked up and took their seats.The staff handling the divorce proceedings asked, "Are you both here to file for divorce?""Yes," Yasmin replied, presenting their documents.The staff looked at them and remarked, "You two make such a good-looking couple. Why would you want a divorce?"They were certainly the most attractive couple seeking a divorce in city hall.Moreover, Blake's face was familiar to the staff, as if they had seen him somewhere before."We're not compatible," Yasmin answered casually."Do you have the divorce agreement?""Yes." Yasmin took out the agreement, signed it, and slid it before Blake. "Sign here."Blake looked at it. The divorce agreement had been revised, and Yasmin hadn't asked for anything. She even gave up the mansion in Newphoria Bay."You don't want anything?" Blake asked.Yasmin
Everyone was stunned when they heard Yasmin's answer.Giselle looked at Blake. He remained expressionless and calm."Erik, when did you and Yasmin get so close?" Giselle asked Erik."We've gotten closer lately." Erik wiped away his surprised look and smiled at Giselle. Yasmin's unexpected cooperation took him by surprise.The next moment, he walked over to Yasmin and put his arm around her shoulders. "Let's go then. I'll take you home."Yasmin gave him a cool look while Blake shot them both a glare."Since the marriage is over, work with me a little," Erik whispered in her ear. "Blake is watching you, don't make a scene."Yasmin looked at Blake. His eyes were fixed on Erik's hand.Yasmin reached out and wrapped her hand around Erik's waist. She nodded at Blake. "We'll be on our way then.""Wait," Blake called out.They turned to look at him.Blake smiled. He took Giselle's hand and walked confidently toward them. "Erik, you should be careful with her. You can't tame her."Y
Erik had made a move that was a double-edged sword.At first, he could use it to threaten her, but after everything had unfolded, Erik had turned into a traitor to Blake. If he could use it to intimidate her, she could do the same to him."All I did was help Blake get rid of you, you cunning woman." Erik glared at her.Yasmin retorted, "Only you know if you did it for him or yourself. You clearly wanted to help Giselle steal Blake away from me, but you hid it under the guise of helping him. Did you ask him if he needed your help? Did he ever agree to any of this?"Erik was speechless. "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Blake about the agreement with Aunt Anna?""Go ahead. At worst, the truth will come to light. None of us will have it easy," Yasmin snorted. Noticing his silence, she slowly removed his hand from her shoulder. "You tricked me once, and I returned the favor with a slap. That's fair."With that, she hailed a cab and left the city hall. ...Upon arriving at NAS Group, Ya
It was 7:30 pm.Yasmin was the first to arrive at Maple Tower. Eunice followed shortly after, and they met at the entrance.Eunice grabbed Yasmin's hand as soon as she got out of the car."You got divorced with Blake today?" Yasmin had told Eunice over WhatsApp, and she was genuinely concerned."We filed for divorce. The divorce certificate will be issued next month." Yasmin pursed her lips.Eunice looked at her. "Yaz, are you okay?""I'm not sad at all. I've said it before. This is what I wanted. I'm finally free now." She smiled, her eyes hiding the sadness underneath.Eunice stared at her for a moment, as if trying to figure out how to comfort her. She deliberately raised her voice and said, " That's great. Here's to Yaz starting a new chapter!"Yasmin replied with a simple "Hmm" and lowered her eyes. No one could see the sadness in them.She told herself not to dwell on it. The situation had resolved itself perfectly. Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce Ghost pulled up in front of
