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
Yasmin shook her head. "Not yet."They started ordering food.Yasmin texted Ivan on her cell phone. "I let my staff place their orders first.""Alright, go ahead. I just finished an interview and am on my way." Yasmin put down her phone and told the others, "Mr. Burke said he's on his way. Let's start eating."As she finished speaking, the waiter entered with the food. She even brought a bottle of fine foreign liquor.Yasmin looked at it. "I didn't order this bottle of wine.""It is a gift from a lady. She asked me to wish you a happy divorce!" The waiter had delivered the message, unaware of her situation.Yasmin's expression turned cold. She picked up the bottle and asked, "And who might this lady be?""She didn't tell me her name.""Was she pale and wearing a white dress?""Yes, that's her." The waiter nodded.It had to be Giselle. She sent the bottle of wine to irritate her.Yasmin stood up. "What room is she in?"The waiter replied, "She's from room 106."When Yasm
Yasmin's eyes shot open abruptly. Alarmed, she stretched her arm out and grabbed a can opener that lay on the nearby table. Her eyes blazing with coldness, she stabbed Caleb's stomach with the can opener in her hand.Caleb yelled and curled up on his side, cradling his stomach.Once the makeshift weapon had accomplished its purpose, she tossed the can opener aside and immediately ran outside."Don't run!" Caleb yelled after her. "Get that bitch!" He ordered his bodyguards. A few bodyguards chased after her.Yasmin's limbs felt like jelly. She had been drugged and felt exhausted. She tried to run back to Eunice's room. But the guards caught her in the corridor just as she reached the stairs.Caleb walked toward her, huffing and puffing. With a smirk, he pressed her head against the wall."Great, since you like livestreaming in public so much, let me make it happen." He pressed her against the wall. "How exciting! I haven't tried doing it in a corridor before!"In a ragg
Yasmin was filled with deep hatred when she remembered this. She wanted to hit him again, but Blake held her back, saying, "Enough. Don't dirty your hands."He tossed the bloodied Caleb at Malcolm's feet. "I'll leave him to you.""Yes, sir," Malcolm replied.Yasmin felt herself being carried up. Stunned for a second, she felt like jelly in his arms. Upon looking back, she saw Malcolm and two bodyguards give Caleb a sound beating.Giselle stood under the shaft of light, her gaze cold.Something suddenly made sense to Yasmin; the waiter who delivered the wine had said that the wine was a gift from a lady.Was Giselle the perpetrator behind the night's events?"Don't look at that bloody scene. I don't want you getting nightmares." Blake turned her head forward, not allowing her to look back.Yasmin lifted her gaze to look at him in astonishment. It was almost as if it was her first time meeting him.She never expected him to have such a wild and arrogant side.No wonder her fat
Blake and Yasmin arrived at Oak Garden.Yasmin's damp hair was plastered all over her delicate little face.Blake parted her long hair and carried her to the second floor. Yasmin lay on the bed. Despite her situation, she still had the time to joke. "Your leg has recovered?""Almost," Blake replied. "Have you removed your cast?""I removed it this afternoon," Blake replied. Upon seeing her suffering so much discomfort, he rinsed a towel for her to wipe her sweat.Feeling a sudden wave of heat, Yasmin curled up and quivered. "Joel is almost here. Bear with it for a while longer." Blake helped her up and gave her some warm water to drink.Yasmin's logic flew out of the window. She lay in his arms, drank two sips of water, and didn't want to let go of him.She felt so hot. When she touched Blake's cool skin, she refused to let go. She leaned against him, nestled in his sturdy arms."Yasmin?" Blake looked down at her.It was rather unlike her to do such a thing.She was flu
Blake was a little wild, but he knew they could only do so much tonight.Thus, he stopped what he was doing, reluctantly let go of her, and went downstairs to open the door.Blake opened the door to reveal Joel clutching his phone. Joel looked at him strangely and asked, "Blake, what's going on? I've been yelling so many times. Why was there no response from either of you?"Blake's face was frigid as he demanded, "Where's the medicine?"Joel passed him a box of medicine. Blake took it. Wanting to assess Yasmin's condition, Joel pushed at the door, intending to go into the house.With his foot, Blake stopped him from entering the house. "What's the dosage?""Take two pills and wash them down with water." Joel looked at Blake questioningly. "Blake, why are you blocking the door? Let me go and assess Yasmin's condition.""No need. Get lost." Blake took the medicine and slammed the door in Joel's face.Outside, Joel was cursing at Blake, "What the hell? I brought medicine for y
The next day, Yasmin woke up feeling sore and limp all over her body.She got down from the bed, took in her surroundings, and recalled everything that had happened last night.She had been drugged by Caleb, then saved by Blake. Her mind raced as she recalled what happened after. He had brought her back, and they made out on the bed.Yasmin clutched her face tightly.Wait, how did they end up making out last night?She had been drugged, but Blake hadn't. Why had he made out with her?Furthermore, Blake looked terrifying when he beat up Caleb. His gaze was misleading, making Yasmin think that he cared about her.She was confused again.Didn't Blake hate fickle women like her to the bone?Why was he being so nice to her?She didn't dare to follow this thought, so she stopped herself. "Forget it." She chided herself, "You're already divorced. You should not be looking back."With that, she collected her things and secretly crept downstairs. "Mrs. Ford," Mary called from t
