"How are you so sure about that?" Yasmin questioned with a smirk. "I find it strange that you know her drink was spiked."Elise was at a loss for words. In a panic, she accidentally revealed the truth. Now, she immensely regretted her impulsiveness.Yasmin said smugly, "I also heard that one of the women you took revenge on died."Elise's hand began to tremble. This was the one thing she desperately tried to keep hidden.Even though she knew that Jessika couldn't possibly have evidence of that murder, she was wary—afraid of being exposed. She would be fine if her other misdeeds were exposed, but a murder would put her behind bars for life.She was petrified, but she couldn't show it on her face. Thus, she faced Yasmin head-on, composing herself before challenging, "What proof do you have?""You'll get to see it soon," Yasmin said resolutely. "You kept saying that you have no heinous intentions of harming others, but you've already caused harm to three women. "One of them
Yasmin hadn't considered the difference in drug abuse laws between the two countries."You can just ask me for help. Why do you need to go to others?" Blake looked at her with a brow raised.Yasmin looked up at him. "Didn't you hear what Elise said? If you put your trust in me, I'll get you killed sooner or later, so you'd better not get close to me again."His face darkened a little. He leaned over and hugged her tightly. "But what should I do? You're the only one I like."Yasmin's gaze wavered as she whispered, "It's best if you didn't."In the end, Yasmin decided to call Michelle anyway.However, Yasmin couldn't reach her on the phone—perhaps because Michelle was busy. Thus, Yasmin decided to wait for her to call back.Blake remained silent with a trace of disappointment in his gaze, but he didn't force her into doing anything. Instead, he said, "We'll have dinner here tonight. Just stay put, and I'll make you something."After saying that, he walked into the kitchen.Yasmi
Perhaps he had already left for his business trip. Yasmin sat up and stared blankly into space.Suddenly, the door opened.Blake came in, wearing a simple outfit. Seeing her sitting blankly on the bed, his brows furrowed as he asked, "You're awake so early, huh?"It was only 7:00 am.She looked over, appearing a little dazed. "Hadn't you already left?""Did you miss me so much that you woke up early to see me off?" It wasn't surprising for Blake to think that way because Yasmin would usually sleep past 8:00 am.Blake suddenly felt excited. He approached the bed and pulled her into an embrace.Yasmin glanced at his arms that were wrapped around her body. She frowned lightly and answered, "No way."She never admitted how she felt, but Blake didn't mind it. He said with a smile, "I'm leaving soon. I just came to see you before I left."Yasmin didn't say a word to that.Blake continued, "Jessika is fine now. She'll be out soon.""Yeah," Yasmin said while nodding.Blake regarded
Yasmin clenched her fists and stood motionless.She knew Elise's tricks very well. She was now provoking Yasmin into taking action. Once Yasmin retaliated against Elise, the latter would use any harm done as an excuse to send Yasmin behind bars.Elise had always been good at manipulating people's emotions.Yasmin took a deep breath and ignored her. She quickly ran to the road to check on Jessika's injuries.Many people had gathered there.Yasmin pushed through the crowd and saw Jessika lying on the road, bleeding heavily.Someone had already called for an ambulance.Yasmin extended a hand to touch her, but someone in the crowd shouted, "She's just been in a car accident. Don't touch her, she might be bleeding internally!"As such, Yasmin didn't dare to touch Jessika. She kneeled next to her and examined her wounds.Jessika's internal organs had likely been ruptured. She was coughing up blood, and her body was cold. When she saw Yasmin, she reached out to her weakly, asking her
It turned out to be Elise's secretary.A flash of coldness crossed Yasmin's eyes. It seemed like forcing Jessika into the hospital was still not enough for them. They even sent someone to keep an eye on the situation. If Jessika made it out alive, were they going to kill her again?Yasmin instructed softly, "Go and send some people to secretly monitor the ICU. If you see anyone trying to harm Jessika, catch them immediately and inform me thereafter.""Understood." Tyler received the instructions and sent some people to secretly keep an eye on the ICU from a distance.Meanwhile, Yasmin went to another ward to rest.…In the corridor, Selene quickly gave Elise a call when she saw Yasmin leave."Ms. Fletcher, Yasmin finally left."She had been hiding in the hospital all day and night, awaiting the moment Yasmin let her guard down.Elise couldn't do anything to Jessika while she was at the police station, so Elise had to resort to orchestrating a car accident.However, Jessika
Elise smiled and said, "That won't do. This secret is too significant. If Blake finds out about it, he will definitely not let me go, so I must leave the country first. I'll let you know once I'm safe."Lizzie was a little displeased.To reassure Lizzie, Elise continued, "Ms. Keating, don't you worry. You have done me a huge favor. I'm grateful to you, so I won't betray you. Once I leave the country, I will tell you the secret. It's powerful enough to prevent Blake and Yasmin from getting together ever again."In fact, Elise was quite excited.The secret was a big gift that she planned to give Yasmin after she left the country.She intended to have Lizzie relay the secret about Stuart murdering James to the Fords.Yasmin would never be allowed into the Ford family once they learned about this.After all, Arthur was James' biological father while Annalise was James' wife.How could these two people let Blake get together with Yasmin after knowing what happened?This was especia
Indeed, everyone only thought about themselves in the end. The more Selene thought about it, the more afraid she became. She suddenly raised her head and exposed the truth. "Ms. Fletcher sent me here. She plans to murder Jessika and then leave the country!""What else?" Yasmin asked.Selene shook her head and continued, "That's all I know. I haven't seen Ms. Fletcher for a long time. She contacted me this time because my dad was in debt. I had no choice but to ask for her help. She promised to give me 300 thousand dollars after I completed the task."Yasmin was confused when she heard the amount Elise promised Selene. Elise was bankrupt, and her accounts were frozen by the court. Where was she going to get that money for Selene?It seemed there was indeed someone helping her from behind the scenes. Yasmin still didn't know who that person was.She pondered for a while and said to Selene, "You should head back for now. Tell Elise that you failed at the task."Selene was taken ab
Following Yasmin's orders, Selene informed Elise about the situation at the hospital. Elise was so shocked that she dropped her teacup. Her expression contorted instantly. "What did you say? Jessika's awake?""Y-yes…" Selene felt a little guilty and dared not look at Elise directly. She braced herself and nodded.Elise's face turned pale. She was so furious that her eyes seemed to burn with rage. She grabbed Selene's collar and demanded, "How could this happen? Why didn't you act faster?"Selene was startled by Elise's sudden outburst. She stammered, "I-I got changed immediately after Yasmin left, but Jessika woke up unexpectedly. The doctors then rushed into the ICU. I didn't have time—""Useless!" A scowl etched across Elise's face. She stormed upstairs, picked something up, and hid it in her clothes.After that, she hurried outside to hail a cab and raced to the hospital.…When she arrived at the ICU, she saw Yasmin hurry over to a doctor standing outside the unit, asking,
