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
Eunice felt slightly uncomfortable with Mortimer's stare. She wanted to lower her head, but Mortimer caught her chin and tilted her head up."W-what are you doing?" Eunice's voice shook."I want to kiss you." Mortimer then leaned in and kissed Eunice's lips.Eunice blushed furiously as she said in embarrassment, "Courtney's home too…""It's okay. She understands. She won't come out of the kitchen," Mortimer said before kissing her again.Even though they had kissed many times before, this time was different. Eunice's breath got caught in her throat, and her small hands gripped Mortimer's shoulder. Her whole body went as soft as jelly as Mortimer tightly hugged her. He then continued kissing her, passionately and possessively.…The next day, Mortimer took a flight to Merania.Eunice called Yasmin and said, "Yaz, what are you doing?""I'm designing some wedding clothes for Michelle Ferguson." Yasmin was in her office. Her long hair was pulled into a messy bun, and she loo
Elise had asked people to follow Carlos these few days.Carlos had gone on vacation abroad claiming that he needed to sort out his feelings. Then, when he returned, he had gone to look for Yasmin. From his actions, Elise understood that Carlos had made his decision. He had chosen Yasmin.Elise was furious. So, she followed Carlos that night. And as expected, he had gone to look for Yasmin.Elise pounded on the steering wheel, took out her phone, and snapped pictures of Yasmin and Carlos. After that, she sent the photos to Blake and texted him, saying, "Did you see that? They're on a date now. "Carlos wants to break off the engagement with me. Yasmin has won. Carlos has fallen in love with Yasmin."…When Blake received Elise's messages, he was meeting a client.He took out his phone and indifferently glanced at the messages.After a while, he told his client, "I'm sorry, but I need to leave now to go and settle something."Then, Blake stoically walked out as Malcolm p
Yasmin stayed silent and hesitated for a moment. Just then, a delicate figure ran into the restaurant just as Yasmin was about to tell Carlos the truth. It was Elise.Elise glared at Yasmin. "Yasmin Starr, you seduced my fiancé! You've sure got the cheek!" she scolded Yasmin loudly.Elise also wanted to slap Yasmin, but Yasmin wouldn't allow that to happen again. So, she raised her hand and caught Elise's. Then, she slapped Elise with her other hand and left an imprint on Elise's cheek.Elise was incredulous, and her expression shifted.Yasmin had seduced her man, and now she was slapping her?Elise's eyes flashed with a cold glint as she glared at Yasmin. Elise wanted to tear Yasmin to pieces, but she knew that she couldn't do so now. So, she began crying in front of everyone at the restaurant.She exclaimed, "You! You seduced my fiancé, and now you're hitting me? How shameless can you get?!"Elise was making a scene, and everyone in the restaurant was looking at them.
