Yasmin set the pen down as if she was not going to sign the contract.When Malcolm saw this, he quickly said, "Mrs. Ford, it was hard for Mr. Ford to secure this contract. He used a lot of effort, manpower, connections, and resources to contact Dr. Myers, who is a busy man. If you miss this opportunity, the chances of Mr. Starr waking up will greatly diminish."Yasmin looked at Malcolm, slightly stumped. Malcolm quickly added, "Dr. Myers is willing to go back and forth between countries to agree to this contract because Mr. Ford's persistence and sincerity moved him. Mrs. Ford, Mr. Ford cares about you immensely. He will spare no effort to alleviate the ache in your heart and ensure your happiness."I hope that you will take this into serious consideration. Mr. Ford does not intend to force you into doing anything. All he hopes for is a chance to mend the relationship."As he spoke, Yasmin considered the possibility of her father not waking up. What would she do if this was the

Yasmin had been bullied at the start of her prison sentence.Soon after she was sent in, two other women entered the prison with her. They never approached Yasmin. But every time she encountered danger, those two women would jump in and rescue her. They would then disappear once Yasmin was safe.One day, Yasmin asked them why they always saved her. They told her that their boss had sent them to protect her and to give her more food.Yasmin assumed that Ivan sent those women to help her because he knew how much she was suffering.Blake almost laughed when he heard Yasmin say that.The women he had sent to help Yasmin in prison had been assumed to be Ivan's efforts. No wonder Yasmin had been so dependent on Ivan when she was first released.…After dinner, Yasmin returned to her room to continue working on her designs.Blake washed some strawberries, put them in a bowl, and brought it next to her.Yasmin glanced at the strawberries and looked up at him. "Aren't you going home

Michelle and Carlos were at the main table.Yasmin went to greet them, "Hi, Michelle. Hello, Mr. Ferguson." Something shifted in Carlos' eyes. He smiled and asked, "Why are you calling me Mr. Ferguson today? You've always called me Carlos."Yasmin smiled. "You're going to be my superior."Michelle said, "Have a seat."Just as Yasmin sat down, Michelle's assistant approached the table and informed, "Ms. Ferguson, Ms. Fletcher is outside. She wants to see Mr. Ferguson."Michelle's smile froze when she heard Elise's name. "It's her again. What a nuisance!"Carlos, don't meet her anymore. I'm concerned that she'll either try to act pitifully to get your sympathy or outright hurt you. She's sick, and she'll just extort you if you meet her now." Carlos' face was as black as thunder. "Michelle, don't worry. I will never trust her again."Elise was a pathological liar. Other than disgust, Carlos had no other feelings toward her. He turned and instructed the assistant, "Go and chas

Blake was on the way home when he saw a hot dog stand by the roadside.Recalling that Yasmin liked the hot dogs from this stand, he asked Malcolm to stop the car and buy some.Blake had gone to a social event where he drank some wine. He loosened his tie and leaned against the door, enjoying the night breeze through the open window. He wanted to let the smell of alcohol on his body dissipate, in case Yasmin disliked the stench.Just then, his phone buzzed.Blake saw a message notification pop up when he looked at his phone. It showed Yasmin being supported by another guy. His face darkened as he clicked on the video. He saw Yasmin leaning against Carlos as he supported her into a car.Blake immediately turned gloomy.Malcolm approached him and asked, "Mr. Ford, they're out of hot dogs. Can we get a cheeseburger instead?"Blake sat in the car blankly. His handsome face was stoic when he said, "No need. Let's go home."Malcolm was stunned. "Didn't you want to get supper for

The moan Yasmin let out made Blake feel as if he had been electrocuted. He hadn't made out with her in a long time and couldn't contain himself. "Blake Ford, are you insane?" Yasmin scolded him, horrified by the wild make-out session."Sorry, I haven't done this in a long time…" Blake couldn't stop.Yasmin huffed, "Go away…""Once is not enough." He kissed her again.Yasmin felt like she would break into pieces if Blake continued. She angrily raised her head and savagely bit down on his neck.Unfortunately, this seemed to have the opposite effect as Blake only seemed to enjoy it. He preferred to have some reaction out of her. He pulled her up by the arms and placed her on his lap.Yasmin was stunned. Embarrassed, she desperately covered her chest with her hands.Blake smiled at this. "Why are you covering up? I've already seen everything."Red with rage, Yasmin slapped him hard across the cheek.The slap echoed throughout the silent room.They faced each other. Blake fr
