Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak Chapter 961
"But you got off easy with such a peaceful death. That won't do," Blake continued menacingly as he raised the gun in his hand and fired into the decomposition box.A loud bang echoed through the morgue.Hiding behind a column by the door, Wendy was gaping. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. She hadn't expected Blake to be so cruel as to come to the morgue and fire at Stuart's dead body.While Wendy was in a daze, Blake fished out his phone and dialed a number. "Malcolm, Ivan is on his way to the hospital. You only have a couple of guys with you, right? Sneak into the hospital and take care of the bastard for me."Upon hearing that Ivan was in danger, Wendy panicked. Horrified, she quickly called Ivan, but none of her calls went through. She grew anxious and decided to abandon her task at the morgue and head to the hospital right away.Blake smirked when he heard Wendy's footsteps fading away.The decomposition box before him was empty. His display had been an act to fool Wendy an

Ivan frowned as he asked gravely, "Are our bodyguards stationed here?""Yes," Wendy replied."Good." Ivan set his worries aside. The worst thing that could happen was a crossfire, though it wouldn't be the first time. He had slowly gotten used to such violent confrontations.Wendy added, "There's more, Mr. Burke. When we arrived at the morgue, we saw Blake opening the decomposition box and firing a bullet at Mr. Starr's corpse. From the looks of it, Blake hated him."Ivan froze before barking a short laugh. He shouldn't be surprised that Blake hated Stuart who pushed James to his death, nor would he allow Stuart a peaceful death.The information from Wendy reassured Ivan of Stuart's death. Even if Stuart had been faking his death, he was certainly dead now that Blake had shot him.Ivan walked over to Yasmin and said grimly, "Yasmin, I have news, and I need you to stay calm after hearing it, all right?""What is it?" Yasmin asked, her face pale as she stared at Ivan. She was worr

Ivan turned to give Wendy a sharp look. He asked in a low voice, "Do you want Yasmin to die?"His words echoed Wendy's true thoughts, to some extent. In truth, she didn't want him to be with Yasmin. With Blake targeting him these days, she didn't want him to strain himself by having to protect Yasmin while watching his own back.If it weren't for Sander International, Wendy wished Yasmin would die on the spot so that Ivan wouldn't have anyone using her as leverage against him."I suggest you keep those thoughts at bay, Wendy. Yasmin is my wife, and you are therefore answerable to her. I won't hesitate to punish you the next time I catch you with those conniving thoughts." Ivan shot Wendy a dark, warning look before he turned and walked away.Wendy stood in the corridor and nursed her bitterness. She had dedicated her life to Ivan, only for him to cherish some other woman.Gritting her teeth, she trudged down the corridor and stopped in front of the hospital room. She glowered at t

Isaac explained, "Andy just informed me that Blake discovered them while they were trying to get Stuart out of the morgue. He thought on his feet and told Blake it was your idea to drug Stuart into an asystolic state."He said you intended to fake Stuart's death so you could save him from Ivan. Andy also mentioned that you planned to put Stuart up in a nursing home for recovery."Yasmin knew Isaac was telling her all this so that her version of the story would align with what Andy Wuntch told Blake.Andy was the bodyguard with whom Blake had spoken at the morgue earlier. He had been working for Isaac for years and was a loyal confidante to him. She asked, "Does Blake know about your involvement in this?""No, Andy's smart enough to keep me out of it. Unfortunately, things wouldn't have gotten so complicated if I'd been able to go to Merania myself."Blake would never have discovered their covert operation if Isaac had been there to oversee things. But as things were, their missi

Yasmin had borne a grudge against Ivan since she realized he had used her to bring Blake to his downfall four years ago. Wasn't it time that she let him have a taste of his own medicine and make him suffer as Blake had?With that in mind, she stepped forward and twisted the doorknob. The door to the study swung open.Yasmin was admittedly surprised that the door was unlocked. She lowered her gaze and quietly entered the study.The layout was simple; a long work desk took up much of the study space, and a large safe stood on the other side of the room.Yasmin's gaze fell on the safe, and she thoughtlessly walked up to it. Just as her fingers nearly grazed the safe, a sudden thought crossed her mind. She quickly wrapped a cloth around her hand before attempting to open the safe.She considered the possible passwords Ivan would use and keyed in his birthday. The safe remained locked. She then keyed in her birthday, but the safe did not open, either.Disappointed, Yasmin was just abo

Yasmin kept her thoughts to herself. She still looked ashen-faced as she said feebly, "I'm alright."She hadn't forgotten that she was supposed to play the role of a grieving daughter who had just lost her dad. She played up her weak and delicate state as she asked, "I just saw Mr. Burke Senior. When did he… How did he become like that?"Ivan replied flatly, "His paranoia worsened over the last two years, and he was convinced that someone was out to get him. The doctor diagnosed him as a schizophrenic. He's prone to violent outbursts and can hurt someone during an episode.""Why didn't you ever tell me about this?" Yasmin pressed.Ivan's gaze flickered. "Yasmin, I kept this from you because I was afraid of what you might think of me if you ever found out I have a father who's… insane."A nicely spun lie. Yasmin fought the urge to snort but said with compassion, "I wouldn't think differently of you, Ivo. You've been nothing but kind to me. I would never think any less of you.""Th

After a moment of thought, Yasmin bolted upstairs to Imogen's room. She unplugged the security cameras and told Imogen about the day's incident.A strip of gauze bound Imogen across the eyes, but Yasmin could still see the worry etched on her face. "So there's been a hiccup in our plans? Stuart was hijacked and taken away by Blake, is that right?""Yes," Yasmin confirmed, nodding as exhaustion hit her. Her plans could have gone on without a hitch had Blake not interfered and complicated matters.Imogen said, "Don't be anxious, Yasmin. It's important to keep a level head when the situation gets prickly. Right now, your priority is to get Blake to trust you and give us a shot at rescuing Stuart."Yasmin sighed. "What if he insists on transporting Dad back to Stanton City?""In that case, we'll just have to move our rescue operation to Stanton City." Unlike Yasmin, Imogen was far from anxious. She had seen plenty during the 80 or so years of her life. She asked, "Is there a way for y

"If I hadn't come, I would never have learned about this scheming side of you. It seems you're quite the strategist," Blake mused, his tone light and placid.Yasmin's fingers trembled as she forced herself to stay calm. She joined him at the liquor cabinet and grabbed a glass, pouring herself a knuckle's length of wine. She brought the glass to her lips and took a sip.She needed to look at ease, and she could use some liquid courage too.Blake did not tear his gaze away from her fingers as he asked, "Well? Aren't you going to explain what the hell is going on?""You already know," Yasmin pointed out. "My dad was under Ivan's constant monitoring, and faking his death was the only way I could get him out under Ivan's watchful eye.""Why didn't you tell me about it?" Blake pressed. Her secrecy bothered him the most. "When I heard your dad passed away, I called you. You told me over the phone that you lost your father, and you cried like it, too. I was convinced you were grieving."

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
