Semua Bab Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak: Bab 921 - Bab 930

Ivan cooed, "Yasmin, you don't need to blame yourself. We didn't do anything wrong. The issues at Windmere Group were due to their internal conflicts. Later, Blake even had his uncle, Neil, killed. He's ruthless, to the point of turning against his own family."Hearing this, Yasmin really wanted to ask him, "What about you? Your own father willingly handed NAS Group over to you out of nowhere. Just what have you done to him?" But of course, these words went unspoken.Gavin had already gone insane, losing all sense of reason. He was now a shell of the man he once was, neither fully alive nor fully dead. Perhaps his madness was due to Ivan drugging him, just like how he had drugged Imogen.Yasmin felt increasingly alarmed as these thoughts raced through her mind.Yet still, Ivan continued, "Blake came to Merania to get revenge on me. You know we have a grudge against each other, and he certainly wouldn't just let it go. I sent someone to kill him out of desperation. I didn't want to

After Ivan left the house, Yasmin immediately called Blake. She was mostly worried about his brewing anger and how difficult it would be to calm him down later.The phone rang for a while before it was finally answered. However, there was silence on the other end, as if Blake was waiting for her to speak first.Yasmin stood at the top of the stairs, glancing around to make sure no one was around. Then, she whispered into the phone, "Darling, I'm home."When she called him "darling", it was actually just to flatter him, of course.Blake's cold demeanor softened a bit when he heard her voice. He asked, "When you went back with him earlier, you two didn't do anything, did you?"The suspicion in his voice was evident. Yasmin snorted. "What could possibly happen in just half an hour?""A lot can be done in half an hour."Yasmin was both speechless and irritated. "We were in the car the whole time, Blake. From the restaurant to my place, you can check for yourself—the journey takes ab

Yasmin was resolute. She couldn't leave alone with the secrets. It would put Imogen's safety at risk if Ivan found out. She couldn't bear to think about her grandmother suffering because of her actions.Hence, she shook her head. "No, Grandma, I can't leave without you. You and Dad are still in Ivan's clutches. I need to get all of us out of here!"Stuart was still in the ICU, and she feared that leaving could endanger both him and Imogen. Yasmin was determined to find a way to save her family.Imogen said, "It's alright, Yasmin. I'm old and my health is failing. A few years less doesn't matter."Yasmin shook her head vigorously. "No, I can't leave you behind. Grandma, I've thought about it. When Ivan and I have our wedding, he'll be convinced everything is going smoothly."That's when you'll give me the USB flash drive. He'll be off guard, and that's when we can all go to Rimmervale together."Yasmin had been going over this plan numerous times since she was confined by Blake. I

Blake's lips curved into a faint smile upon hearing Yasmin's words. He no longer seemed upset. "You finished your shower?""Yeah," Yasmin replied as she leaned against a pillow while holding her phone."I just visited Grandma. She said her eyes don't hurt anymore, but they're still bandaged. She needs to avoid using them for now and have a doctor come daily to apply medication.""That's good," Blake responded.After that, neither spoke for a moment. Yasmin faked a yawn, pretending to be very sleepy."Are you tired?" Blake asked."Yeah." Yasmin stretched lazily. "You wore me out this morning. Then I went out to eat and had to deal with Ivan when I got back. I'm exhausted…"She yawned several times in a row. Tears of fatigue welled up in her reddened eyes. Her neck still bearing the marks he had left earlier in the day.That morning, she was freshening up when he leaned against the bathroom door, watching her intently. On a whim, he grabbed her from behind and lifted her onto the

But with so many people around, Imogen decided to say nothing and nodded for Yasmin to go ahead.Yasmin directed the technicians to install the surveillance cameras in certain places.Having surveillance in Imogen's room was actually a good idea. If Yasmin needed to leave, she could still check on Imogen via her phone. And if they needed to have a private conversation, they could simply unplug the camera. As such, Yasmin didn't mind this arrangement.Installing the surveillance cameras was quite simple. It just needed to be mounted on the ceiling at the right angle.Yasmin noticed Clara standing nearby, watching without leaving. She frowned slightly and asked, "Clara, is breakfast ready? Grandma is hungry."Clara replied, "Yes, breakfast is ready.""Please help Vanessa bring Grandma downstairs for breakfast," Yasmin instructed, trying to get her to leave.Vanessa was a smart woman. She instantly understood Yasmin's intention. She glanced at Clara and said, "Clara, I can't suppor
