Semua Bab Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak: Bab 511 - Bab 520

"He doesn't want to expose you to the public. He's worried you might get in trouble," Malcolm answered. "Why don't I take you to the lounge? You can wait for Mr. Ford there."It was then that she remembered Brian's plot. Trailing behind Malcolm, she quickly relayed everything to him. Malcolm said, "Mr. Ford would surely be happy if he knew that you came all this way just to tell him about this."Yasmin was perplexed when Malcolm left without another word. She didn't understand why Malcolm wasn't listening to her either. She could only wait in the lounge, feeling disheartened. There was a television in the room, so she turned it on and played the live broadcast of the press conference. Blake stood in the center of the large screen, smiling faintly but politely toward the camera. The first ten minutes of his speech went smoothly. Suddenly, the content on the screen behind him shifted.Soon, big bold letters appeared. "Windmere Group's New Project is Illegal!"Seeing thi

"Yeah…" Blake responded softly. "Don't come in. You need to go…"Even now, he was still telling her to leave. Yasmin's face was streaked with tears as she asked, "How are you holding up right now? Can you still hold on?""I'm feeling kind of tired," he answered hoarsely. Yasmin couldn't help but picture him lying in a pool of blood. She shook her head to push the image away, unable to bear the thought of him getting hurt. She ordered, "You better hold on, Blake Ford! The police have already gone inside. They're going to rescue you, so hang on!"There was no response from his end. Worried he might have passed out, she cried out in desperation, "Don't you dare close your eyes, Blake! You promised me you'd save my father, and you can't go back on your word! You have to stay alive!"All this time, Yasmin thought she hated him and kept trying to push him away. But at this moment, overwhelming panic filled her entire being. Terrified he might die, she clutched her phone tightly

Yasmin's eyes flew open when she detected the touch on her head. She was met with Blake's pale face. "You're up."Blake hummed in response, keeping his gaze fixed on her face.Feeling self-conscious, she said, "I'll get the doctor.""Hang on." Blake grabbed her hand and said weakly, "It's still early. Let's wait a while before calling the doctor."He wanted to spend some time alone with her.Yasmin slowly sat back down and looked at him. "You were injured by a bomb and lost a lot of blood. Dr. Sawyer has treated all your wounds, but you still need to rest. Are you feeling pain anywhere?"Blake shook his head. He didn't have any internal injuries, so he felt fine other than mild dizziness from the loss of blood. "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you," Yasmin offered.Blake shook his head again and murmured, "Malcolm will get someone to bring me something later, so don't worry about it."After that, Yasmin ran out of things to say.Awkwardly, she sat in si

Yasmin held her phone as her mind began to wander.Just then, her ringtone interrupted her thoughts.She saw Blake's name flashing on the screen. Instantly, her spirits lifted."Hello?" she answered."Have you gone to bed already?" Blake asked."Not yet. I just put my dad to bed." Yasmin didn't know what else to say, so she began talking about today's events."It's good to hear that everything's fine."Silence fell between them. After some time, Blake asked, "Why didn't you come and say goodbye to me before leaving?""I… didn't know what to say," Yasmin answered softly. "I don't think… there's any reason for me to see you.""What do you mean there's no reason? You're my wife. What better reason do you need?"Yasmin narrowed her eyes. "Since when did I become your wife again?""You said I could start pursuing you again.""When did I say that?""When I was half-conscious after the accident."He actually remembered!Yasmin's breath caught in her throat, and she mumbled, "

Flustered, Yasmin quickly explained, "I only said that because I don't like her.""Don't bother explaining. I know you still care about me," Blake said, pulling her closer.Yasmin innocently blinked. At a loss of words, she avoided meeting Blake's eyes. In the silence, Blake's eyes fell on Yasmin's enticing and plump lips. He said, "The issue with Starr Corporation will be settled by today.""Huh?""Windmere Group will be acquiring Starr Corporation. From tomorrow onward, Starr Corporation will become one of our subsidiaries. Your company's stocks will rise again, and you won't have to worry about managing the company anymore. "I'll send a team to take care of it, so you can just sit back and enjoy the dividends."Yasmin's heart skipped a beat.If what Blake had said was true, none of the shareholders of her organization would suffer losses. Plus, with the addition of a powerful group like Windmere Group, other companies wouldn't try to attack them anymore."Then what about
