Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 150

Blake smiled happily before grabbing the jewelry box and walking to the guest room.

However, just as he was about to enter, he heard Yasmin talking on the phone inside.

So, he stopped and stood at the door to listen.

"Were you okay after the birthday banquet that night?" Ivan asked after a pause from Yasmin.

"I'm fine."

"I heard you moved back to Oak Garden. Are you two... getting back together?”

There was a moment of silence fram Yasmin before she answered, "No, I owe Blake some money. He's having me work here to pay off my debt." "That's good to hear." lvan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Once you're divorced, your dad should be released by then too, so you should..." When Ivan mentioned Stuart. Yasmin's eyes flickered.

Then, she said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't look back on this marriage.”

Stuart would be out in half a month—Yasmin couldn't look back

If Blake still wanted to seek her out after Stuart's release, she might still fight for their relationship one last time.

But that was only if Blake didn't hold a grudge against Stuart.

After all, Blake really hated the Starr family, and she could sense that it wasn't just about Victor.

There might be a deeper grievance between Blake and Stuart.

Two years ago, Stuart had finally arranged for her to sleep with Blake.

But after he talked with Blake, Stuart had looked pale and distressed and not at all relieved by the deal he'd just made. He'd looked at Yasmin sadly and said, "I hope you don't fall too deeply in love with him."

Yasmin was sure there was something more between her dad and Blake

When Blake heard what Yasmin said, his eyes turned cold

He'd thought she might not want to divorce him anymore. But it seemed like he was mistaken.

In the silence of the night, Blake sighed softly and left with the gift in hand.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

The next day at Windmere Group, Blake wasn't in a good mood, and it had stayed that way for the whole day.

His cold demeanor made everyone uneasy, and all executives were sitting up straight, barely daring to breathe..

After the meeting. a few executives stopped Malcolm and asked, "Mr. Shaw, what's up with Mr. Ford? Was he unhappy with our New Year's plans?” "Mr. Ford looked really scary just now!"

They murmured among themselves and bombarded Malcolm with questions about what was bothering Blake.

Malcolm was helpless. He obviously couldn't say Blake was in a bad mood because he had a spat with his wife.

So, he coukt only say, "Don't worry, he's verysatisfied with everyone's~ plans, He might just be a bit under the weather today because he didn't rest well yesterday.” ~

After calming everyone down, Malcolm headed to the CEO's office.

Joel had come over today. And at : that moment, he was leaning over the reception desk flirting with the secretary who was blushing ¢ at his sweet talk.

"What brings you here today, Dr. Sawyer?" Malcolm asked Joel.

"Oh, I'm delivering Mr. Arthur's health report. What's wrong with Blake today? He seems to be in a bad mood," Joel replied "He had a little tiff with his wife," Malcolm whispered.

"Malcolm, do you have nothing better to do?” Blake's cold voice came from the office.

Startled, Malcolm dared not say anything more.

Joel then raised an eyebrow and walked into the office.

"How's my Grandpa's report?" Blake asked.

Joel replied; "Nothing serious. His : blood pressure and sugar levels are a bit high, but everything else is norndal. In fact, for his age, his health is.pretty good." -

Joel sat across from Blake with his hands clasped together on the table. Then, he said, “There's something I need to tell you—your mom was in the hospital for a check-up recently, right?

"Giselle has been bustling around her every day, acting like the perfect dutiful daughter-in-law."
