Chapter 11

“Mrs. Ford went to her studio,” Malcolm said,

Blake pursed his lips. “Was everything okay with her stomach?”

“She looked fine to me.”

Blake hummed softly in acknowledgment before looking back down at his work. He didn’t say

anything else.

Malcolm suddenly recalled what Yasmin had asked him to do and handed the divorce agreement to

Blake. “Mr. Ford, Mrs. Ford asked me to pass this to you.”

Blake didn’t look up. “Read it aloud.”

“Yes, sir.” Malcolm flipped the document open. He faltered when he saw the words “divorce

agreement” on it. He didn’t dare to read it.

“Why aren’t you reading it?” Blake asked.

Malcolm had no choice but to do as told. “Mrs. Ford wants to get a divorce, sir, the reason being…

some impairments with your sexual function. Mrs. Ford claims that you’re unable to satisfy her basic

needs…”

Blake’s expression darkened. “What the hell is that?”

“It’s a divorce agreement that Mrs. Ford wants you to sign.” Malcolm didn’t even dare to breathe

loudly. Had he just learned a terrifying secret about Blake? He didn’t dare read the agreement any

further and placed it before Blake.

Blake grabbed it and read with an icy look on his face. In the agreement, Yasmin had indicated that

she only wanted the villa at Newphoria Bay. It used to belong to Stuart.

“She knows just where to draw the line, huh?” He snorted. She knew the reason for her marriage to

him and didn’t dare to mention anything about wanting money. Still, the reason for the divorce was

enough to pi ss him off.

Blake called Yasmin. “What the hell is this that you had Malcolm pass to me?”

Yasmin and Eunice were looking at furniture. The former had dragged the latter out of the studio as

soon as she’d arrived.

Yasmin wanted to move back to the villa at Newphoria Bay. It had been emptied two years ago. She

had to get some furniture before she could move in.

Her expression turned icy when she received Blake’s call. “Isn’t it obvious that it’s a divorce

agreement?”

“I’m talking about the reason for the divorce. ‘Impairments with my sexual function,’ huh? When

have I ever left you dissatisfied?”

Yasmin could imagine how h o r rendous the look on his face was. No man liked taking a blow to

their ego. She smiled. “You only return home once or twice a month, sometimes even less. I’m not

wrong to say you haven’t satisfied my basic needs!”

“Oh, I understand now. I didn’t know you were thirsty enough to want me to f uck you seven times a

night, Ms. Starr.”

Yasmin blushed a little. Still, she said with bravado, “Yes, that’s right. You’re too frigid to satisfy me.

That’s why I want a divorce.”

Blake scoffed. “I’ll make sure you’re satiated tonight, then. I guarantee you won’t even be able to get

out of bed tomorrow.”

What the hell? Was that what she wanted? She wanted a divorce!

Yasmin said coldly, “That won’t be necessary. I’m not stepping foot in that villa from nów on. Sign

the divorce agreement as soon as possible so we can just get this over with! I don’t want things to

turn nasty.”

Blake’s expression became icier when he heard her say she wasn’t returning home. “Have I agreed

to a divorce?”

“We’re getting one because I say so! Do you think your threats mean anything to me? I have dirt on

you, too! You cheated on me with Giselle! If you disagree with a divorce, I’ll expose you two online

and make sure everyone knows it.

“When that happens, I’d like to see who turns out worse. You’re the president of a public- listed

company. Getting embroiled in an adultery scandal is going to destroy your reputation.

“You’ve grown a pair now, haven’t you? How dare you threaten me!” Blake said coldly. 1

“Yes, I have!” Yasmin held her head high. She couldn’t keep allowing him to oppress her,

could she? She’d be worthless if that were the case!

Deep down, however, she didn’t want things to reach that stage. Blake had helped her a lot, so she

wanted to give him some leeway. “Look, just sign the divorce agreement so we can end this sham

of a marriage.

“You and Giselle can live happily ever after once we’re over. Now that she’s pregnant, you should

stop treating her like this. Be loyal to her. Don’t make her sad.”

Blake sneered. “Are you feeling bad for her or speaking up for yourself, Yasmin?”
