Knowing that Yasmin was about to downplay the situation, Tristan spoke up. "Uncle Ivan, Rowena called me a bastard. Mom was just about to teach her a lesson."Upon hearing this, Ivan's eyes darkened. He walked over to Rowena and looked down at her. "Did you just call Trist a bastard?"Under Ivan's scrutinizing glare, Rowena's face went pale. She couldn't find the words to respond.Ivan now had control over the entire Burke family while helping Imogen manage her company. He had become one of the most influential figures in Merania.He was no longer the insignificant younger son of the Burke family he was just four years ago.Rumors circulated that Ivan had decisively removed the Burke family's oldest son from the line of succession. Isaac was left powerless and had to be sent to Rimmervale, where he now managed a less significant subsidiary.The Burke family and its many businesses were now under Ivan's complete control. He held all the power and was not someone to be trifled with

Yasmin fell silent at her son's words. In truth, she did regret agreeing to be with Ivan back then.At the time, she was mostly just touched by his kind gestures toward her. It wasn't until after they were together that she realized some relationships just couldn't work out—and her relationship with Ivan was one of those.It seemed she needed to have a serious talk with Ivan.…The next day, Yasmin went to the hospital to visit Imogen, whose surgery was scheduled for the coming Thursday.Since Tristan couldn't go to the hospital with her, Yasmin had Pearl stay with him at home while she visited Imogen herself.Upon arrival, she found Ivan talking with Imogen in the ward.Imogen was quite fond of Ivan by now. She admired his impressive appearance and dedication amongst other things. In fact, she already considered him a future grandson-in-law.She even entrusted most of Sander International's business to him.Rowena was also there, but her face was bruised and swollen. It clear

Yasmin thought to herself that it wasn't just a psychological barrier, but rather that she had come to see Ivan as a brother and couldn't imagine loving him romantically.Despite this, seeing the vulnerability in Ivan's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say just that.After all, a few years ago, she had planned to repay him for his past kindness. Since marrying him could help him gain control of the Burke family's power, Yasmin finally agreed.She slowly nodded, accepting the proposal as a way to repay Ivan for saving her life.Upon seeing Yasmin's sign of agreement, Ivan's eyes instantly lit up.He pulled Yasmin into his tight embrace. "Yasmin, after we marry, I'll treat you well."…The next day, newspapers across Merania were filled with news about their upcoming marriage."Heiress of the Sander family to Marry into the Burke Family, Two Major Families Unite!""Heiress of the Sander family and Heir of the Burke Family Set Their Wedding Date!"Newspapers everywhere featur

Isaac continued, "Yasmin, he's using you. Ivan is only with you because he wants the power of the Sander family.""I know," Yasmin replied after Isaac finished speaking. "What exactly are you trying to tell me? That he's only with me for my family's power?"Isaac was silent for a moment before responding, "Yasmin, I'm not trying to stir trouble between you and Ivan. I'm just reminding you that Ivan is not a good person. If you don't believe me, you can observe him yourself."His secretary is not just an ordinary subordinate as well. Ivan may have genuine feelings for you, but his primary goal is to gain access to the Sander family's power.""Why are you telling me this?" Isaac was Ivan's enemy, so Yasmin couldn't fully trust what he said. He might have had other motives.Isaac answered, "Besides simply reminding you of the truth, I want to form an alliance with you. A massive business like the Burkes' shouldn't be handed over to someone as ruthless and scheming as Ivan."Yasmin,

Ivan suddenly reached out and tucked Yasmin's long hair behind her ear.Yasmin felt somewhat wary and instinctively pulled away. She quickly adjusted her hair herself and glanced at Wendy, who was standing to the side. Wendy's eyes showed a flicker of jealousy before it quickly disappeared. Ivan's secretary clearly had feelings for him.Yasmin felt a lump in her throat. She wasn't feeling jealous; she simply realized that there were many things she was unaware of. She felt as though she was hidden from the truth, shrouded in secrets she didn't know.But with Imogen undergoing surgery today, Yasmin didn't want to confront Ivan. She pretended everything was normal and sat quietly by the operating room. She silently prayed for Imogen, hoping the surgery would go smoothly and that Imogen would be okay.It seemed her prayers were answered. The surgery went well, and Imogen was wheeled out of the operating room with a bandage over her eyes.Given her age, Imogen needed to stay in the
