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
But Elise brought it upon herself by trying to seduce another person's boyfriend anyway. Yasmin never expected this to be Elise's true nature. Elise just didn't like seeing others happy. And once she saw someone with a good boyfriend, she would covet the boy and scheme ways to make the boy hers instead.Ivan continued, "Then, Elise met with an accident on the way back from Merania and was in a coma for a few years. But now that Elise is awake, guess what Jessika's doing now.""What?""Jessika was imprisoned six months ago. In prison, she was tortured so badly that she's barely recognizable now. And guess who the tormentor was."Half a year ago… That was when Elise had gone to Merania.So, she had gone to Merania to take revenge on Jessika. It seemed that Elise wasn't kind, innocent nor pure. How would a kind or pure person have gone back to take revenge on someone?Yasmin turned and asked Ivan, "Can we see Jessika?""I saw Jessika in the Meranian prison. She said that she
Ivan frowned. "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to bribe me with a project?""You're free to refuse," Blake nonchalantly said. Ivan was speechless. He had always exerted tremendous effort in order for his father to spare him a second glance. And if he really accepted this file, he could be the other master of the Burke family when he returned.But if he refused, the file would become his brother's military exploit.The offer was certainly enticing, and Ivan had to admit that it was an offer that he couldn't refuse. But of course, if he accepted it, he would have to leave Yasmin again.Ivan understood Blake's intentions. Blake was using the project to entice him away to eliminate Yasmin's only ally. That way, Yasmin would be forced to depend on Blake. And if not, she would never be able to take revenge on Elise.Blake had his means, and he was good at this game. But his means and methods were despicable.Ivan looked at Blake. "Aren't you afraid that you'll push Ya
Ivan had just arrived in Merania and was waiting for his luggage at the airport. When he saw the message the lawyer had left for him, he told Yasmin, "Jessika's lawyer, David Lawson, told me that Jessika has been transferred to a high-security prison in Xerox by Elise."Oh, so Elise was indeed behind the transfer."Elise probably realized that I was investigating her. But don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on this matter. I'll go and look for Jessika again," Ivan said.Yasmin was stunned. "Ivo, why are you so good to me?"Blake had sent him away. So, why was he still helping her?Ivan gently said, "I feel guilty toward you.""You feel guilty toward me?""Mm-hmm. Blake used a project to entice me away," Ivan explained. "Yasmin, I don't want to lie to you. I really need that project. If not, I…""Ivo, I don't blame you."Ivan didn't need to explain himself.In fact, he could have taken the project and left. But since he had still chosen to tell her, Yasmin felt relieved. She
Yasmin went to the kitchen. Then, she took two eggs and some ham out of the fridge. "There's only eggs and ham here. Are you okay with a sandwich?"Blake was stunned. "You're cooking for me?""Mm-hmm. It's late, so I suppose you haven't had dinner, right?" Yasmin knew Blake well. He usually hadn't had dinner at this time.Blake was slightly surprised, but before he could respond, Yasmin had already gone to cook for him.The sounds of the cooking came from the kitchen, and Blake felt like he was in a dream. He walked nearer to the kitchen and saw Yasmin frying the eggs. He hadn't seen this sight for a long time. It had been almost a year now.When Blake saw Yasmin cooking for him again, his cold and lonely heart suddenly felt warm.He walked over to Yasmin and hugged her from behind. His voice was tender as he said, "Why did you suddenly want to cook for me?"Yasmin didn't push him away. Instead, she replied, "Didn't you say that you would destroy me if I kept ignoring yo
"You need to cover yourself up even though you're not cold."On the other end of the line, Blake listened to Mortimer display of affection toward Eunice. He had never expected Mortimer to be like this while dating Eunice."Blake, what did you say?" Mortimer came back to the call after helping Eunice wear her socks."I need you to do something for me," Blake said."Shoot.""Help me get someone out of a Meranian prison," Blake replied. Then, he explained the situation to Mortimer.Mortimer raised his eyebrows. "Yasmin is investigating Elise?"When Eunice heard this, she secretly looked at Mortimer.Mortimer sensed Eunice looking at him, and he smiled and caressed her cheek.Eunice didn't pull away from him and instead came closer. Then, she leaned on Mortimer and put her ear next to his phone, wanting to hear what Blake had to say."You can't?" Blake retorted."It's not that. But Elise is your sister. Aren't you afraid of offending her if you do this?" Mortimer glanced at Eu
