She wrapped her arms around Blake’s neck. “You’re back, Mr. B.”‘Sucking up to me won’t work.” Blake thought she was trying to butter him up. His expression was cold as he reached up to pry her hands away.“Mr. B, don’t get together with […]

Chapter 28After that, Yasmin sat on the couch and drank her beer silently. Just then, her phone rang. She answered it. “Hello?”“Yasmin, it’s me.” Giselle’s voice rang out on the other end of the line. She said demurely, “I have something to ask you.”“What is it?”“Well, I just wanted to know what brand of condoms

Chapter 27When Blake returned to Oak Garden, it was already nighttime. Mary walked out and said, Mr. Ford, Mr. Arthur’s secretary called to ask you and Mrs. Ford to drop by on Saturday night.“Alright,” Blake said. “Has Yasmin had dinner?”Mary looked confused. “Mrs. Ford hasn’t returned since leaving the house in the evening.Blake was taken

Chapter 26Yasmin smiled bitterly. She got off Blake’s lap and out of the car. A voice inside her told her to turn around to ask Blakenot to go. She tried and failed to suppress it. Finally, she turnedaround. “Mr. B-”She stopped abruptly. Blake had already driven into the night. Yasmin’s expression turned. sorrowful. A tear

Chapter 25Yasmin felt ill at ease and wanted to get out of this amorous situation. But with the pap araz zi chasing them, she didn’t dare to move. She was afraid that they would catch something and blow things out of proportion, affecting the company’s share price.“Don’t be scared.” Blake seemed to sense her trembling

Chapter 24After scrutinizing Yasmin for a while, Blake said, “You got what you deserved.”This set Yasmin alight. “I got attacked for nothing, and you think I deserved it?”“You deserved it because you didn’t even think about retaliating despite them ganging up on you.”Yasmin was taken aback. “I did fight back. There were just too many

Chapter 23Yasmin was running low on cash right now. It was all she needed to settle the problem. Everyone was taken aback as they turned to stare at her. She smiled. “What? Don’t tell me the daughter of an affluent family isn’t even willing to compensate me for my medical bill.”Roxy couldn’t stand being provoked.

Chapter 22“Roxy…” Blake said menacingly.Roxy’s heart raced with fear, but she refused to back down. Her eyes were red as she complained, “She hit me first, Blake.”“So you’re saying she was the first to attack a group of people?” Blake asked coldly.This took Yasmin aback. She didn’t expect him to speak up for her. It

Chapter 21Yasmin was the daughter of a wealthy man who’d fallen from grace. She had a gorgeous face but no way to protect herself.

Chapter 20  As Blake and Yasmin chatted, a model walked past them on the catwalk. Suddenly, the bag she held flew in Yasmin’s direction.  “Watch out!” Ivan cried as he pulled Yasmin out of the way. The bag missed her.  Yasmin was taken aback as she stared at the model. The latter put on an apologetic look and walked past them. Despite that, Yasmin still recognized her. She was Roxy Ford, Blake’s cousin and the apple of her father’s eye.  Before this, Yasmin had heard about Roxy running off to become a model for the sake of the man she liked. Was that man Ivan?  It was much too coincidental. Yasmin’s lips twitched as she asked Ivan, “Does Roxy like you?  Ivan was surprised. “How do you know her name?”  Yasmin was lost for words. She’d actually guessed correctly! It was no wonder Roxy had flung her bag at her. She was jealous! Roxy had always been obnoxious because of her upbringing. She didn’t have the best temper.  “I’ve seen her a few times,” Yasmin said. At the same time, she couldn’t help glancing at Blake. He wasn’t looking at her, which made her sigh in relief. At least she could finally focus on the fashion show.  One hour later, the fashion show ended. Yasmin walked out of the hall and said to Ivan, Thanks for having me over, Mr. Burke. I’ll take my leave now.”  “The pleasure was mine. I hope to hear good news from you soon, Ms. Starr.”  This took Yasmin aback. Why did it seem like Ivan seemed raring to go? She would even go so far as to say that he seemed afraid of her turning him down. “I’ll discuss this with my business partner as soon as I get back.”  “Alright.” Ivan nodded and left with his secretary in tow.  Before leaving the building, Yasmin dropped by the restroom to use the toilet. She was worried there wouldn’t be any public toilets on her way back. She washed her hands when she was done. When she walked out of the restroom, she ran into Blake.  He stood under a light, which accentuated the broadness of his shoulders. His gaze was deep and unfathomable, adding to his mystery and charm. He asked, “Why is Ivan Burke looking  +15 BONUS  to work with you?”  Yasmin said coolly, “NAS Group is planning to launch a line that focuses on affordable luxury, and they want some new blood. They’ve issued invitations to designers all over the country, and I’m one of them. Mr. Burke liked my designs.”  Blake sneered. “Do you think an organization of this size would hand a new project to a designer who’s still wet behind the ears? And that the president would even let you watch an internal fashion show?”  Yasmin felt like he was just looking down on her. She retorted, “Why do you always look down on me?”  “I just don’t think it makes sense.” Blake gave her a cool look.  “Maybe there’s just something about my designs that Mr. Burke likes.”  “It sounds more like a trap if you ask me.” Blake’s tone was mocking. “You’re fresh out of college with zero experience. No matter how you think about it, there’s no way something like this could happen to you.”  “What do you think it’s about, then?” Yasmin asked. In truth, she also found that the collaboration had happened too easily. NAS Group was a huge company, yet Ivan hadn’t given her any conditions or restrictions. She wanted to have Blake’s opinion.  “It’s a casting couch,” Blake said plainly. “Hunters will only want to catch their prey.”  Cup attractive bait if they  He looked at Yasmin. There was no denying that she was gorgeous. That was why Stuart had forced Blake to marry Yasmin in the first place. He’d been afraid of his precious daughter ending up as a plaything for the rich.  Even if she were unwilling, there would always be a rich lecher out there who could force her into submission.  Blake continued, “I’m refusing to get a divorce for your good, Yasmin. With the way you are, you’ll end up as an old lecher’s plaything once we’re divorced.”  Chapter 21
