When Lizzie heard Blake was getting married, she wanted to return to the country. However, Marie forbade her from doing so. She said the woman Blake was marrying wasn't his true love but someone he was forced to marry.Lizzie calmed down, deciding to wait until they got divorced to return.As expected, after two years, she finally heard about Blake's divorce. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep. She told Marie she wanted to go back immediately. Marie promised to help bring her and Blake together, making their families even closer.This way, Lizzie would inherit the Keating family assets without any worries. Otherwise, without the Keating family bloodline, Adelle might not be willing to pass on the entire family fortune to her. Lizzie didn't want to face the day when she would have to fight with Blake over the inheritance. So, the best solution was for them to marry.Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Annalise had even agreed to try to bring them together.But suddenl
Yasmin's heart skipped a beat, and her eyelashes fluttered. "What's the matter?" she asked."I miss you." Although Yasmin was right in front of him, Blake still missed her so much—so strangely and intensely.Yasmin felt uncomfortable under his gaze, especially when they were so close to each other. His deep gaze and low voice inexplicably made her feel hot."What are you trying to do?""I want to hug you." He leaned over, and his hot breath fell on her lips.Yasmin's heartbeat quickened a little. "Then, just hug me.""Okay." Blake hugged her and kissed her lips in the next second.Yasmin's eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't you say you just wanted to hug?""I couldn't help it." He chuckled. His thin lips passionately and lustfully lingered on hers.Yasmin felt her body become inexplicably soft. He pulled her, and they fell onto the couch. However, she was still rational and patted his shoulder. "Remember what Dr. Sawyer said. Don't indulge too much."Blake said hoarsely,
Yasmin was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized they indeed had to visit Arthur on the first day of the New Year.She had been doing this alone for the last two years, so she didn't feel anything special about it. She didn't set a specific time to visit Arthur, but she normally did so after she woke up. However, she had Blake accompany her this year.It was a distinctive year.While she was lost in thought, Blake steered his wheelchair over to her. "Why are you still in a daze?"Yasmin returned to her senses, smiled, and said, "It's nothing. I'm going to wash my face.""Okay. Hurry up."She hurriedly went to the washroom. Blake shouted, "Take your time.""Yeah, I know," she replied.After washing her face and coming out, she saw a light purple cashmere dress on the bed.She was stunned for a moment. Looking at Blake, she asked, "Did you choose this for me?""Yeah." He nodded, appearing gentle.Yasmin smiled faintly. She took the dress, planning to change in the washroo
Lizzie glanced at Blake, who appeared unemotional. She then said, "Grandpa Arthur, let me check on you. I am good at treating the flu. You don't have to call the family doctor. It's the New Year. Let him enjoy his holiday.""Alright." Lizzie was a top student at her school, so Arthur was quite confident in her.Lizzie put her fingers on Arthur's wrist.Arthur asked curiously, "Lizzie, you know how to take a pulse? Did you also study traditional medicine?""I've learned traditional medicine before. Grandpa Arthur, I'm quite good at it." Lizzie showed off her talent as much as possible to boost Arthur's impression of her.Arthur smiled and said, "Lizzie, you're excellent. You seem to know everything.""Grandpa Arthur, you're exaggerating." Lizzie smiled cheekily.The two chatted happily. Annalise tugged on Yasmin's sleeves and said, "Yasmin, let's go down to have breakfast."Yasmin returned from her thoughts. Just as she was about to leave with Annalise, Blake said, "I'll come,
The Keatings hated Yasmin to the bone because Blake had gotten tricked by Stuart earlier.They had planned to marry Lizzie off to Blake once she completed her studies. Adelle felt that she could only truly trust Lizzie once both generations of their family were linked to the Fords.After all, Lizzie was adopted. If Adelle were to give the Keating family fortune to her, it would seem like she was giving the family wealth away to outsiders.However, if their fortune were to be given to Blake, she would feel sorry for Lizzie, whom she had raised since a young age. So, after thinking about it over and over for some time, she decided the best plan was to have Blake marry Lizzie.Only by doing so would the Keating family's wealth not fall into the pockets of outsiders.Besides, Lizzie also liked Blake. She had liked him since she was young, so Adelle wanted to bring them together even more.However, she didn't expect Stuart to intervene and help Yasmin snatch Blake away. That angered h
Blake asked nonchalantly, "What is it, Aunt Marie?""It's about the imported medical equipment project that I mentioned to you before. Do you think Keating Corporation has a chance of winning the bid?"Marie had sent people to Windmere Group multiple times to inquire about the bid. She obviously wanted Blake to help Keating Corporation."Aunt Marie, if your company's quotation is reasonable, you'll surely win the bid." Although Blake spoke gently, he didn't reveal anything to her.Marie said, "How about you just tell me so I can be happy a few days earlier?"From her words, it seemed as if Windmere Group had already decided to accept Keating Corporation's bid.Blake replied calmly, "Aunt Marie, it's the New Year today. I don't want to talk about work."He didn't reveal a word about it.Marie restrained her smile, clearly unhappy after being rejected. "Blake, I heard you spend over a hundred thousand dollars monthly to save Yasmin's dad. Is that true?""Aunt Marie, what does th
Annalise suddenly walked out while the two were chatting.They were surprised. Marie said, "Annalise, why did you come out?""There are guests downstairs, so I must attend to them. Just make yourselves at home." With that, Annalise and her maid, Lydia, left.Marie instructed Lizzie, "Lizzie, follow Annalise downstairs and learn how to be part of the Ford family.""Okay," Lizzie said with a smile, then followed Annalise downstairs.…Yasmin was arranging the crystal glasses downstairs.These crystal glasses were usually kept in the cabinets. They would only take them out during the New Year to serve wine to the guests. There were a total of 68 glasses. They were very expensive."Yasmin, have you arranged the glasses already?" Annalise was a tad bit surprised.Yasmin had been working downstairs. Upon hearing Annalise's voice, she looked at her and replied, "The staff mentioned that these glasses are dried and asked me what to do with them just now. "I recalled seeing you h
Yasmin carried the box. It was quite heavy since there were six bottles of red wine in it. She took a deep breath and kept moving."Isn't that Yasmin?"Yasmin had just reached the yard when she heard a sharp voice calling out to her with a hint of hostility.She turned her head and saw a voluptuous woman in a red dress, looking arrogant and domineering. She was Nikki.Why was she here?Was the O'Shea family also a business partner of the Ford family?While Yasmin was pondering, Nikki was displeased that she had been ignored. So, she raised her eyebrows and questioned, "Why are you here?""If I say I'm Blake's wife, will you believe me?""You? Blake's wife?" Nikki said in a high-pitched voice. Then, she continued coldly, "How could that be? If you're his wife, then I'm the Queen."Yasmin felt it was impossible to converse logically with her, so she said, "Never mind, then."The red wines were too heavy, so she wanted to bring them to the villa quickly."Hey, don't go. We're n
