Chapter 47

Blake ignored her and ran out the door. He found Yasmin by the club entrance. She was sitting on

the roadside, staring dazedly at the flowers by the curb.

Blake walked over.

Yasmin looked up just in time for him to grab her wrist.

He then wordlessly led her away.

Yasmin was surprised. “What are you doing, Blake?”

“We’re going home.” Blake shoved Yasmin into the Cullinan and drove it back to Ford Residence.

Yasmin stayed silent the entire trip.

They didn’t talk even after reaching home. Yasmin went to get her clothes, then entered the

bathroom to shower.

When she exited the bathroom, Blake was on the call with someone. Yasmin thought that it was

probably a call from Giselle.

Blake said over the call, “I won’t be joining you.”

Yasmin’s heart clenched. She pretended she didn’t hear it and dove under the bed covers to sleep.

All of this had nothing to do with her anymore.

Yasmin just had to treat Blake like a stranger and not mind everyg else.

The lights were soon switched off. Blake ended the call and came over to the bed. Yasmin felt the

bed sink slightly.

Blake then undressed himself and lay beside her.

His breath smelled like fresh pine needles.

Yasmin curled uncomfortably at the edge of the bed, her back facing Blake.

“Joel called earlier and said you won 2.1 million dollars,” Blake said all of a sudden, his gaze trained

on her back

So, Joel was the caller just now.

Yasmin hummed in assent.

Blake took his phone in hand. “He’s transferred the money to me. I’ll transfer it to your account.”

“Will it all be given to me?” Even though they were won in Yasmin’s name, it was still Blake

it all. who orchestrated the wins. So, she was still embarrassed to accept

“Yes.” Blake leaned in, chin tucked against her back. It felt like he was trying to appease her. “Which

account do you want me to send it to?”

Yasmin could pick up his scent stronger now.

Her back stiffened. She instinctively shrank away from him. “Alliance Union Bank. You can just

transfer 100,000 dollars to me.

Blake didn’t understand why.

“I used two million dollars to open up that studio with Eunice without your permission before. Now

there’s enough to repay you, so you can just transfer the 100,000 dollars to me, “Yasmin explained.

Blake’s gaze turned cold briefly. It felt like Yasmin was setting clear boundaries with him. He said

solemnly, “It’s not that I don’t permit you to open that studio. It’s just too tiring. If you want a career

in design, you can join Windmere Group’s design department.”

Yasmin shook her head and said softly, “No need. That department handles architecture. What

would I be able to do there? Thank you for your consideration before, Blake, but you don’t need to

do that for me anymore.”

She didn’t want people to say she was depending on Blake anymore.

She continued, “Ivan wishes to work together with me. I saw him on the news and think he’s a pretty

stable guy. He doesn’t seem like a con man.”

Yasmin had decided just then to work together with Ivan Burke.

But when Blake heard Ivan’s name, his expression grew cold. He grabbed Yasmin and stared at her

icily, saying, “I told you nothing in life comes for free. His terms are so appealing for

a reason.

“Wouldn’t it be better if he liked me?” Yasmin suddenly turned around to face Blake with a smile on

her face. “Maybe I could try dating him one day if I feel like getting into a relationship.”

Blake’s expression grew colder. “Would you dare? I dare you to try and cheat on me.

“Haven’t you cheated on me already?” Yasmin’s smile never faded. She looked at Blake’s frosty

expression and said, “You’re blaming me when you already knocked Giselle up.”
