Yasmin could still vividly recall the look of disgust on Annalise's face. Her gaze was sharp and cutting as if she wanted to slice Yasmin's flesh piece by piece.Even though Yasmin had Imogen and Tristan on her side now, she couldn't forget past grievances.Annalise would never accept her, no matter how wealthy or successful Yasmin became. The grudges of the previous generation were a deadlock that couldn't be resolved.When Blake heard her ask about Annalise, he said in a steady voice, "My mom is not doing well."A few years ago, she had been diagnosed with stomach cancer. After surgery, she lived for another four years, but now her health had completely deteriorated. She was currently in a nursing home, spending money to prolong her life. She couldn't even leave the care center as she might not have much time left.Hearing those words, Yasmin looked up and asked, "Madam Annalise is not well?""Yes, she fell seriously ill a few years ago. Joel said that the extra years she liv

Windmere Group had eventually regained its former glory, and Keating Corporation had averted the risk of bankruptcy, becoming a leading company in its own right.It seemed Lizzie's gamble had paid off. If Marie had been in charge, Keating Corporation would certainly have gone bankrupt. Under Blake's leadership, however, it had been revived.Lizzie was later credited with both saving Blake and aiding the family business' resurgence. Consequently, Blake's relationship with the Keatings grew closer, and Adelle frequently hinted at a potential engagement between Blake and Lizzie.Blake neither agreed to nor dismissed the idea. When Lizzie mentioned celebrating his birthday, he didn't object, leading her to believe he was on board with the engagement. She speculated excitedly that the money he spent might have been on a diamond ring to propose to her. Feeling giddy at the thought, Lizzie decided not to call Blake and bother him at this time.However, there was an unexpected explosion

Lizzie was silent for a moment before speaking up again. "Is everything not going as planned?"It was understandable that things had strayed off course. Ivan was now the heir of the Burke family and was very powerful. He wasn't someone who could be taken down so easily.In addition, Lizzie had heard that after being recognized by the Sander family, Yasmin was now a young lady of high status. The two of them had become difficult to deal with.Lizzie said, "Blake, if things aren't going well, you should come back. Aunt Anna is frightened and needs you now more than ever. Plus, I'm worried that she might be put in harm's way since you're not here."The explosion at the nursing home last night was a sign of retaliation from Ivan. Now that they had openly clashed and faced off, it was clear there would be many more battles to come, both in the public eye and behind the scenes.Before Blake left for Merania, Lizzie had opposed his decision to leave temporarily. She believed that if he s

Blake stared deeply at Yasmin, his gaze probing. "Yasmin, you're not lying to me, right?"Yasmin paused, then lifted her head to meet his eyes. "Blake, I've told you so much. If you still don't believe me, there's nothing more I can do."She placed her hands on the table, and the room fell into a tense silence.This was when Blake noticed the pale purple diamond ring on her delicate finger, the one he had given her as a promise to marry. It sparkled brightly under the overhead light. He reached out and took her hand, looking into her eyes. "Yasmin, I want to trust you."Yasmin's heart skipped a beat at his words, and she nodded. Not knowing what else to say, she simply expressed her gratitude. "Thank you." Sensing the heavy atmosphere, she continued, "Don't be so sad. You're only going back for a few days. We can still speak over video calls every day. Just phone me whenever you have time, and I'll answer.""Okay." Blake nodded in agreement. He placed her hand against his chee

After a moment of intimacy, Blake reluctantly pulled away.Yasmin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching his tall figure get into the car and drive away. Once he was out of sight, she removed the diamond ring from her finger and placed it in her bag.As soon as Blake got in the car, he instructed Malcolm, "Leave two people here to protect Yasmin.""Understood," Malcolm replied. After a moment, he asked, "Should they stay close to her?"Staying close meant having bodyguards shadow Yasmin wherever she went, which implied monitoring her every move.Blake hesitated for a moment. He still didn't fully trust Yasmin, fearing she might repeat the betrayal from four years ago. But thinking back to their night together, he recalled how she had been completely lost in passion. She had agreed to have his child and had called him "darling" in such a soft voice.Just the thought of her made his body and heart heat up; he couldn't help but want to trust her.After a moment of thought

Blake remained silent as Annalise continued, "But I don't regret any of it. How else would you have known who truly cares for you if you didn't face hardships?"The fact is, your ex-wife isn't a good woman. Lizzie stayed by your side through thick and thin. When things were at the hardest, she knelt before my mother, pleading for her to entrust Keating Corporation to you."She resigned from her medical career to focus solely on the company. Blake, my time is running out, so I need to remind you that Lizzie is the one who truly suits you. You can't let her down after all this time."Even as she neared the end of her life, Annalise was still advocating for Lizzie. It seemed everyone was hell-bent on saying Lizzie was the right woman for Blake. However, Blake didn't share the sentiment. He didn't have any romantic feelings for Lizzie whatsoever.Blake didn't say a word throughout. He simply held Annalise's hand, encouraging her to rest well.Recognizing that she couldn't change his

Yasmin said, "Yeah, it's morning here in Merania. It should be evening on your side, right?""It's 2:00 am," Blake replied.Yasmin audibly let out a small gasp. "Sorry, did I wake you?""No, I'm still working at the office," Blake said.Yasmin was surprised by this. "You went straight back to work? Aren't you tired?"Blake leaned back in his swivel chair, a smile forming as he listened to the melodious tune of her voice. "There's a lot of work to catch up on since I just got back," he said. "I couldn't leave even if I wanted to." Despite his long day, hearing her voice lifted his spirits."That sounds exhausting. Remember to rest and eat your meals regularly," she reminded. The concern was evident in her tone.Blake smiled and replied, "Since you're so concerned, maybe you should come back and take care of me."Yasmin's voice softened as she said, "I wish I could, but I can't leave right now. I'm here with my grandmother every day."Blake suddenly asked, "Do you miss me?"Yas

After ending the call, Yasmin turned to look at Imogen.In truth, she had only pretended to send Imogen away earlier. Imogen had, in fact, stayed in the room. Upon hearing Yasmin say her goodbyes to Blake, she asked, "Was that really your ex-husband? Trist's father?"Yasmin looked at Imogen while holding her phone. She finally admitted, "Yes."Imogen was somewhat surprised. "So, you two have reconnected?""Yes." Yasmin nodded again.Imogen was pleased, as it meant Tristan would have a father. However, Yasmin's next words caused her heart to ache.Yasmin explained the deep-seated enmity between their families and everything that had happened over the years.Imogen was deeply saddened to learn of such a long-standing feud. She gently stroked Yasmin's head and asked, "Yasmin, what are you thinking?"Yasmin's expression became sorrowful. "Grandma, we have irreconcilable differences. We can no longer be together."Over the years, Yasmin's hired private investigator had uncovered no
