Elise was taken aback. "Who called the police?""It was me." Yasmin walked toward the iron gate. She smiled and said, "I'm also one of the parties involved in the scandal. Since you've tarnished my image in public, I've decided to sue you for defamation."Elise was shaken. Ignoring the presence of many others around, she grabbed the iron gate and shouted angrily, "You bitch! You hooked up with my man, and you dared to call the police on me? Have you got no shame?"She erupted on the spot.Michelle heard her clearly. She furrowed her brows as she stared at her. "Yasmin didn't hook up with Carlos. I've always been the one handling the collaboration between NAS Group and Ferguson Jewelry."She has never met Carlos in private. Don't you blame others when you're caught doing something wrong," Michelle said."Michelle, I'm really not lying this time!" Elise was so angry that she almost cried.Yasmin stood beside her and said slowly through the iron gate, "This is called giving s
Yasmin paused with the teaspoon in her hand. She looked at Carlos and asked, "Why are you apologizing?""I have misunderstood you since the beginning and subsequently formed a bad prejudice against you. So, I'm sorry." When Carlos was ill and felt drowsy last night, he thought about what happened half a year ago.When they first met, Yasmin was about to push Elise into the ocean.At that time, he thought she was an evil woman.However, after all that happened recently, he began to see Elise's true colors. Only then did he realize how hypocritical she was.He hesitated for a while and added, "I'm sorry, and thank you.""And why are you thanking me now?" Yasmin asked, raising an eyebrow.Carlos murmured, "Thank you for letting me see her clearly and understand my own feelings…"As Carlos spoke, Blake suddenly arrived with Malcolm. They entered slowly through the gate, clearly hearing what Carlos said.Yasmin noticed Blake and asked, "Why are you here?""I'm here to pick you u
When Yasmin opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on the couch. Someone was cooking in the kitchen.She glanced over and discovered Blake was in the kitchen.He said that he would frequently come over to cook for her in the future. He was indeed true to his word. Yasmin rubbed her eyes, gently stretched her neck, and sat up."You are awake." Blake handed her a bowl of hot soup. He leaned in with his handsome face and said, "This is a new cooking style for soup I recently learned. Have a taste and see if it's nice."Yasmin glanced at the bowl of soup. Its color was dark. "What's this?" she asked."It's herbal chicken soup," he said with a smile. "I bought the chicken from a small farm. The weather is chilly. You should drink more chicken soup to nourish your body."Yasmin felt disgusted. "Can I not drink it?"The soup seemed really bad.Blake shook his head. "No way. I had it simmered for three hours. You must drink it," he insisted."Did I sleep for that long?"
"That's right. Since you like to be in the center of attention, then apologize publicly so the whole nation can have a good look at you," Yasmin said slowly."Do you think I'll be afraid of you just because of those threats?" Elise glared at her. "These are all child's play. If you are capable, show me something more powerful.""It's good enough as long as it makes you uncomfortable." Yasmin twirled the ends of her hair. "It brings me immense satisfaction to see your reputation crushed, without having anyone to love you or rely on.""Bitch!" Elise hated Yasmin's relaxed demeanor. She almost couldn't resist the urge to scratch her face.But she knew Yasmin was provoking her on purpose. This was her house. Surely, Yasmin had set up surveillance cameras. If Elise acted against her now, her actions would certainly be caught on tape.Yasmin tried to provoke her on purpose so that she would have the evidence to send her to prison.Elise calmed herself down. She refrained herself from a
"How could you do this to me? You know that doing so will hurt me… You even said before that you would always treat me well, protect me, and take care of me…""Then, what about the things I told you not to do last time? Did you listen to me? I told you to stay in Merania and not come back. Did you listen?" Blake spoke with a calm expression. "You didn't obey the rules, so you're getting what you deserve today. It's all just a chain reaction.""'Chain reaction'?" Elise repeated. Her eyes were red. "I did it for your sake! I didn't want you to suffer, so I went to look for Stuart! I didn't even meet him. I did all that for you, but why am I the only one suffering the consequences in the end?""Did I ask you to do so?" Blake watched her coldly. "When you returned to the country and told me not to worry about you, I decided then and there not to interfere again. You walk the path you choose. It's your choice, and it has nothing to do with me."Elise stood frozen on the spot for a
Yasmin clutched the pen in her hand and looked at the strawberry cake on the table.She had rejected his afternoon tea set previously, but he still kept having people send it over, a different flavor every day. However, Yasmin had never eaten it.She hung up the phone and threw the cake away.Sarah came in, saying, "Ms. Starr, Ms. Fletcher is downstairs. She said she wants to see you for a tailor-made dress."Yasmin found it funny. Jessika had just been released from prison, and she was already here. It seemed that Elise could find things out fast.Yasmin walked out in her high heels to meet her.Elise was wearing a white dress, looking pale and worried. Upon seeing Yasmin, she squeezed out a few tears and said, "Yasmin, I came here today to apologize to you."With a different attitude as before, she approached Yasmin weakly, crying as she spoke, "I was wrong for what I have done in the past. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was too scheming. I will never dare to behave like that again
Elise was so enraged that her eyes almost bled.This was the first time she hated someone so deeply, to the bone and marrow.Very well. Since Yasmin wanted to target her, she would put her life on the line and play along. She didn't believe that Yasmin's wits could outtop her....Yasmin was still sitting in her office after work, her slender silhouette outlined against the window, looking desolate.Sarah opened the door. "Ms. Starr, it's already half past seven. Aren't you going home?""I'm about to leave," Yasmin replied as she turned her chair around. "You should get off work, too.""I'll clock out after closing the windows," Sarah answered.Yasmin nodded. "Go ahead."She stayed in the office until almost 8:00 pm before leaving.On her way home, Yasmin stopped at a convenience store. She picked up a few cans of beer and a box of condoms, then walked to the cashier to pay.Although she had promised to take their relationship further that night, she still struggled to calml
"What do you expect? After what you've done to me, you expect me to accept you eagerly?" Yasmin mocked.Her expression pierced his heart, causing his face to twist unpleasantly.Both of them fell silent.Yasmin was pressed onto the bed by him, feeling uneasy. She said, "Do you want to do it or not? If not, get up. I'm going home."Blake stared at her.Just a second ago, he had intended to let her go. But this second, her sarcasm and disdain angered him. He had treated her so thoughtfully, yet she brushed him off and wanted to leave.Blake's hand pressed down on her shoulders, and he said in a deep voice, "Who said I don't want to do it? But you might not be going home tonight. It's been a while for me, and I might not stop until dawn."Yasmin's eyes widened. Then, he sneered coldly, "And one box might not be enough for me."Yasmin was stunned. She admitted that she was afraid. She tried to push him away and escape.Blake's long arm quickly wrapped around her waist, forcefull
