"Yes," Malcolm replied.Blake had purchased the entire floor because he liked it quiet. This way, no one else would be on that floor, making it a personal space just for him and Yasmin.Yasmin was annoyed by how persistent Blake was.After dinner, Blake went to see Yasmin as soon as he got off work. He took off his coat and gently asked, "Have you eaten dinner yet?"Yasmin was reading a fashion maganize. She glanced over and asked, "Can you go back to your own place?""No, I need to make sure you're okay or I'll feel uneasy." Blake walked over and sat beside Yasmin.As Blake tried to put his arms around Yasmin, she frowned and dodged his touch. However, her attempts to escape were futile as she found herself trapped in the corner of the couch. She coldly asked, "What do you want?""Like I said, I want to make it up to you, Yaz. And I want to win you back." Blake leaned in closer and sincerely said, "Tell me what you want, and I'll make it happen."Yasmin sneered. Just as she
Yasmin gaped at Blake, and she frantically pushed him away. "Stop it, Blake. The police are here—"With a grim expression, Blake said, "So what? I want them to see us like this." He refused to let Yasmin go.Yasmin began panicking and hissed, "You're going to embarrass me. Go and hide in the bedroom. Once Carlos leaves, I promise that we can have a talk.""Promise?" Blake asked.Yasmin pursed her lips and responded, "Yes!"Finally, Blake let go and sneaked in a pat on Yasmin's head before leaving.Yasmin immediately flinched. She was angry with how shameless Blake was.After fixing her clothes, Yasmin saw Blake's coat and ran to hide it under the couch.Then, when Yasmin opened the door, she saw Carlos speaking to the police.While talking, Carlos paused in surprise when he saw Yasmin appear. "You okay?" he asked."Yeah, I'm fine." Yasmin fixed her hair and sported a pale smile."Why didn't you answer the door when I rang the bell?""I was bathing." Yasmin made up an excuse
Elise was always behind the arguments between Yasmin and Blake. So, Yasmin planned to give Elise a taste of her own medicine.Yasmin swore to have Elise suffer the hardships that she had gone through.When Elise was about to try out the fifth wedding dress, she received the photo Yasmin sent.Elise thought that Carlos was the sender. But after she unlocked her phone, her expression turned grim.Yasmin had sent her the photo of Carlos drinking a cup of water in her house. Judging from Carlos' expression, he didn't seem to have any issues with Yasmin.Elise was upset that her suspicion was right—Carlos indeed had a crush on Yasmin. And while she was trying out the wedding dresses, he'd visited Yasmin behind her back!What was Carlos planning to do? Was he having an affair with Yasmin? Why did Yasmin send her the photo?Elise was so furious that she broke her new nails. Then, she removed her wedding dress, got changed, and headed straight to Yasmin's place.20 minutes later, Y
Blake remained quiet.Then, Yasmin stood up and walked toward her bedroom. Once she arrived at the door, Blake asked, "What will it take for you to come back to me?"Blake knew that Yasmin didn't actually love Carlos. Rather, all she wanted was to seek revenge.Yasmin was curious about how committed Blake was in dealing with Elise. So, she turned around and asked, "How far will you go to deal with Elise?" "Elise's dad saved my dad, so I owe her big time. I can't bring myself to take her down, but I can send her abroad. Then, she'll never come back."Blake looked up. As the chandelier light shone on his face, he looked serious and cold.Yasmin chuckled and said, "You've always had a soft spot for her. But I want her to hit rock bottom and suffer a fate worse than death for the things she's done…""I'll send Elise out of the country. Is that not enough? She won't bother you anymore then.""That's not going to cut it," Yasmin said with a grim expression. After all, Elise had to
"I don't know how to explain it." Carlos looked gloomy. "I'm not sure why I'm attracted to Yasmin even though I despise her…"Carlos couldn't bring himself to lie to Elise because he felt that that would be unfair to her. And if he had truly fallen for someone else, it was his own fault.So, he decided to end the relationship and stop hurting Elise."You're telling me that you're attracted to her?" Elise struggled to believe Carlos. What was so great about Yasmin? How did Yasmin captivate Carlos when it had only been a few days?Carlos flashed a bitter smile. "At first, I couldn't stand Yasmin. Yet, I found myself drawn to her. And when you told me that she'd tried to seduce me, I surprisingly wasn't upset."Deep down, I knew I had to dislike her to avoid betraying you. But the night before, I couldn't sleep after knowing that she was sick. I'd hesitated for a long while, but I ended up visiting her the following night."Talking it out seemed to clear Carlos' doubts, and when h
That night, Joel arrived at the restaurant entrance and saw Yasmin wearing a striking long dress that showed off her figure. She looked just like a beautiful flower.Joel nudged Blake's elbow and asked, "Isn't that my sister-in-law, Blake?"Blake put his hand inside his pocket and coldly replied, "Yes."Joel furrowed his brows. "What's with that look? Haven't you always been eager to see her?""I can't be with her anymore.""What do you mean? Aren't you more than enough to handle her?"Blake remained quiet.Then, Mortimer asked, "Yasmin's pursuing Carlos now, so what can Blake do? Help her pursue him?"Joel was lost. "Who's Carlos?" he asked."Carlos is Elise's fiancé." Mortimer had heard about the story from Eunice. He whispered into Joel's ear, "Yasmin is trying to pursue Carlos. She's rejected Blake multiple times.""Are you serious?" Joel was surprised. He then turned his head and saw Blake coldly glaring at him. "Did Yasmin really fall for someone else, Blake?"Blake
Mortimer grinned in response as Joel quickly crossed the road. Before he arrived, he shouted, "Don't forget about us."Michelle looked over and saw Joel and Blake heading her way. She exclaimed in surprise, "What a surprise to see you here too, Mr. Ford.""I'm eating out with my friends." Blake then emotionlessly glanced at Yasmin.However, Yasmin simply bowed her head and kept quiet."What a coincidence. We're here to eat too," Michelle said.Then, Joel suggested, "Want to join us for a meal?" Michelle paused for a moment before happily agreeing, "Sure, why not?"Hence, the original two-person meet up became a five-person dinner.Before entering the private room, Michelle whispered to Yasmin, "Blake is an important client that our company is trying to impress, Yasmin. Please bear with this.""I understand," Yasmin responded."Thank you for being so considerate. I really enjoy hanging out with you. You're not like Elise. She just doesn't leave Carlos alone." After saying t
"Do you think that you've won after seducing Carlos? Yasmin Starr, the game has only just begun." Elise dropped her act and coldly glared at Yasmin.Yasmin smiled. "Of course. You haven't fully experienced all the harm that you've done to me yet. So, how could the game be over just like that?" Yasmin didn't want to make her move against Elise just yet. After all, she couldn't do anything to Elise without evidence. So, she had asked someone to investigate Elise. And now, all she had to do was wait.Elise sneered and said, "Do you really think that you can win with your pea-brain?" Yasmin calmly smiled."Try me then. Let's see who'll win in the end." With that, Yasmin swaggered out the door as Elise glared at her.Then, when Yasmin turned the corner, she saw Blake standing there in a black coat. His handsome face was cold. However, Yasmin ignored him and continued walking. But when she passed him by, Blake abruptly grabbed her arm and pulled her into a room.No one was in
