Semua Bab Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak: Bab 971 - Bab 980

Yasmin was reading in her room when Blake's video call came through.As soon as she answered the call, Blake saw her soft and alluring face on the screen.She was lying in bed as she casually spoke to him. Upon hearing that Stuart's safety was secured, she tossed her book aside and hummed thoughtfully."What's wrong? Are you not happy?" Blake asked.Yasmin gazed at his face on the screen and returned a question of her own. "How is Lizzie?"Blake chuckled upon hearing her question. "Are you jealous?""Just a little. Would you be upset if I was?" Yasmin replied.Blake flashed a smile. "No, I'm actually pleased. That aside, the situation has left Lizzie with severe psychological issues.""What happened?" Yasmin asked. She sat up in her pale pink loungewear.Blake's gaze remained fixed on her as he answered, "She almost suffered a sexual assault. Fortunately, we rescued her before it could actually happen.""Why did Ivan kidnap her?""To get back at me. I burned down his warehou

Yasmin froze for a moment before turning to Ivan with a puzzled expression. "Ivo, why are you asking me that?"Ivan's gaze was intense as he continued to stroke her long hair, his touch cold as ice. "If you truly want to marry me, why did you betray me?""Betray you?" Yasmin's eyes widened in shock. "Ivo, what do you mean?""My Destia New Energy Project was shut down after a report from Blake. Quite a coincidence, don't you think? What do you think this means?"Yasmin's entire body stiffened as she turned to face him. Her eyes filled with panic as she asked, "You already know?""I have surveillance cameras in my study. It recorded you pacing in front of my safe, trying to crack the password. Yasmin, why would you do something like that?"Yasmin's pupils dilated with fear. After a long pause, she finally whispered, "I'm sorry, Ivo. It was me."Ivan's eyes narrowed. "Why did you do it? Haven't I treated you well?"He dared to say that he had been good to her. For years, he had tr

Yasmin's face turned pale as she realized the extent of the surveillance at the Burke residence."Can the surveillance footage from the study be deleted?" Yasmin asked at the time.The housekeeper shook her head. "It can't be deleted. The surveillance is linked to Mr. Burke's computer. His computer is password-protected, and only he has access to it."Yasmin's heart sank at the news. She knew that once Blake made his move to sabotage Ivan's project, Ivan would inevitably discover that she was involved.Hence, she had already discussed a plan with Imogen to handle the situation. Although the process had been nerve-wracking, everything had gone smoothly. Ivan seemed to believe her explanation.With the project now in jeopardy, Ivan would likely need additional funding, which meant it was unlikely that he would call off the engagement. Yasmin assured herself that Ivan wouldn't do anything drastic to her—not when he needed money from Sander International.After seeing Ivan off, Yasmi

Yasmin huffed in exasperation. "I just stole his proposal a few days ago, and now he's starting to get suspicious. If I tell him I don't want to take wedding photos, he'll be on to me for sure. If he gets suspicious, my plan will be completely ruined."Blake remained silent on the other end of the line.Yasmin sighed and continued, "It's really not a big deal. This is the last thing I need to do with him. The wedding is in seven days—it'll all be over by then.""When are the wedding photos being taken?" Blake asked.Yasmin hesitated before answering, "Didn't I already tell you? The day after tomorrow, in the afternoon."Blake only replied with a simple, "It's late. Go to sleep." Then, he ended the call.Yasmin could tell he was not all too pleased, but she really didn't want to stir up more trouble than necessary. There were just seven more days to go—Yasmin wanted to get through the final spurt safely and smoothly.…On the day of the wedding dress fitting, Yasmin was having b

Yasmin stepped into the fitting room and changed into the wedding dress. When she emerged, her long hair was elegantly pinned up, and her red lips were vibrant. It made her look breathtakingly beautiful.Ivan saw her and was momentarily stunned. His gaze was unwavering as he stared wide-eyed. Then, he caught himself and smiled. "Yasmin, you look stunning."She gave a slight smile in response, adding to her allure.Ivan was almost entranced. He picked up a crystal-encrusted tiara from nearby and placed it on her head. She glanced upward, her eyes sparkling as she stood there in the white wedding dress. She looked absolutely mesmerizing, and Ivan couldn't take his eyes off her.Meanwhile, Blake watched from across the street with a growing sense of jealousy. The sight of them together made him smirk cynically. Unable to contain himself, he pulled out his phone and called Yasmin.He didn't want to see them looking so perfect together. It irritated him to no end.When Yasmin's ph
