Yasmin heard Janice's voice but remained in the master bedroom.Blake had ordered Janice not to go upstairs, but she had disobeyed and responded playfully when Blake had called her out on it. Even so, Blake had not been enraged. It was the same way he treated Yasmin. Therefore, Blake didn't actually give Yasmin any special treatment. If Yasmin left, Janice would be able to win Blake's heart if she tried hard enough, just like Yasmin had done last time. Yasmin thought that was good too. If Blake had someone, he wouldn't come and look for her anymore—and she could finally be at peace. Even though this was what she wanted, she still felt a little sad. Perhaps it was because Blake was the father of her child.Yasmin got ready and went downstairs, but Blake had already left. She sensed that Blake was very busy lately. It was probably because that big project with Big M Enterprise was crucial. That was also why Brian was urgently trying to get his hands on that file.…Yasmin

Yasmin silently watched him eat, feeling conflicted.When Blake was done, she bent down to pack up the lunch box and said hollowly, "Take a nap if you're tired.""You're leaving?" Blake asked. His bloodshot eyes told her that he was exhausted."You don't want me to leave?" Blake shook his head and pulled at her hand. "Accompany me for a while."Yasmin was rarely so meek and gentle. He loved it when she was like this and didn't want her to leave. He was afraid that she would become cold toward him again the next time he saw her."Okay," she said softly.Blake lay down on the couch. In a few minutes, the sound of his snoring filled the room.It was evident that he had been busy and exhausted lately. He had fallen asleep almost immediately after his head hit the couch. Yasmin sat next to him, silently gazing at him as if she was waiting for something.After about ten minutes, her gaze fell to the file labeled "FH221" on the table.Her father would be fine once she had the fil

Yasmin nodded. She understood—but was miserable nonetheless. Miserable and helpless.It seemed that ever since she met Blake two years ago, she was destined for a life of disaster. Still, she knew that she couldn't blame Blake for all her misfortunes.If she hadn't married him two years ago or if Blake hadn't fallen in love with her, her father would have probably died in prison. She would have been an orphaned pauper and eventually met the same fate as Stuart. That said, being Blake's woman made her the target of Blake's enemies.In other words, she wasn't in control of her own life. No matter what decision she made back then, her life would still be full of disaster.Yasmin muttered, "I just feel like such a fool. I can't do anything about the thing that transpired between both of you either. I'm—" She started to cry as she was speaking. Yasmin felt too disheartened.Blake saw her tears and was deeply disturbed. He lifted his hand to stroke her face lovingly. "Don't worry.

Ivan was probably calling because the rescue mission had failed."Hello?" Yasmin stood next to the window and answered the phone."Yasmin, it's me." Ivan sounded slightly remorseful. "I'm so sorry. I sent my men to rescue Stuart yesterday, but they ran into Brian. We weren't able to rescue Stuart."Ivan was in Rimmervale, consumed by anxiety. This was the best chance to prove himself. He was regretful that he couldn't return to the country to be involved in the rescue mission directly. He was in Rimmervale and could only give orders from afar."It's okay." Yasmin didn't blame him."I'm sorry," Ivan said again remorsefully. He asked in concern, "Did Brian give you any trouble after the rescue mission failed?""Yeah. He threatened me to hurt Blake, but I've already brushed him off," Yasmin told him briefly. Since it was a complicated corporate war between Brian and Blake, Yasmin didn't dare to reveal too much to Ivan."Too bad I can't return to the country.""It's okay. I under

Blake hummed in response as he buttoned up his shirt. When he heard the rustling of sheets, he turned and asked, "Did I wake you?"Yasmin shook her head in response, then watched as he got dressed.Blake wore a black shirt with dark-colored stripes. She frequently saw him wearing this shirt after the divorce. It had been a gift from her."Why are you staring at me?" Blake glanced at his clothes, then lifted his head to look at her.Yasmin snapped out of her daze. She silently went to the dressing room and found a tie for Blake. "Wear this one."There was a tie in her fair hands.Blake was slightly surprised. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Could you help me put it on? There's a press conference today and my tie needs to look perfect. I've been tying it myself, but it never looks good enough."Yasmin had wanted to refuse, but her heart suddenly tightened when she heard about the press conference. "You're revealing your project with Big M Enterprise today?"He nodded word
