Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 140

Yasmin sighed and said, "We're already divorced."

"So, you got nothing out of it?" Victor asked.

Yasmin nodded. "Yeah, nothing."

"Yasmin, what am I supposed to say to you? How could you take marriage so lightly? You didn't even discuss it with your elders before divorcing. I'm so frustrated with you. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Never mind, I'll go talk to Mr. Ford and discuss this matter. If there's any chance of making amends, you have to come with me to apologize to Mr. Ford.

"No matter what, your father went through a lot to arrange this marriage. So, we shouldn't just give up on it!"

After saying his piece, Victor hung up.

As he did so, Yasmin felt a sudden chill. It was as if she was seeing Victor's true colors for the first time.

She also felt desolate and bereft.

It seemed that the Starr family was not where she belonged after all.

However, Yasmin decided not to dwell on her family matters and focused on her work instead.

After a while, she received a call from Blake.

"Your uncle came looking for me at the company," he said right away.

Yasmin's heart tightened.

So, Victor had really gone to look for Blake.

Yasmin replied gloomily, "Don't meet him."

"You didn't give him the money?"

"No."

Yasmin had already sensed Victor's intentions over the phone clear as day.

She wouldn't naively give him money anymore.

Upon hearing this, Blake's expression softened. "Then I won't see him."

"Okay," Yasmin replied. "You don't need to bother with him anymore either."

Soon, she and Blake would have nothing to do with each other anyway.

Moreover, she also didn't want Victor using Blake's name to gain profit, nor did she want to owe Blake too much.

After hanging up, Yasmin caught her reflection in the mirror.

She looked a bit worn out.

When she was with Blake, it felt like the world was full of flowers—everyone was nice to her, and it made her think that the world was kind and carefree.

But after divorcing Blake, she started seeing the ugly side of the world bit by bit.

It turned out that the happiness she'd felt before was merely because Blake had shielded her from the storms.

Without him, Yasmin now had to face the harsh weather head-on as she got drenched to the bone.

But maybe it was for the best. After all, she couldn't rely on Blake forever.

Living within the boundaries he'd set and getting used to it would only turn her into a clinging vine.

She would rather stand on her own two feet.

...

Meanwhile at Windmere Group, Blake refused to meet Victor and had him sent away.

After handling the matter, Malcolm returned to the office and reported, "Mr. Ford, Victor Starr has been sent back."

Blake nodded.

But then, he suddenly asked, "What kind of gifts do girls like?"

"What?" Malcolm was stunned. "Mr. Ford, are you asking about Madam?"

But Blake's handsome face remained expressionless as he said, "She found out the true nature of Victor Starr today, so she must be feeling upset."

Hence, Blake wanted to give Yasmin a gift.

Malcolm suggested, "Mr. Ford, since Madam is a designer, probably anything fashionable would be to her liking."

Blake pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the new bracelet arrived?"

Last time, Yasmin had thrown away Blake's bracelet, and this had upset him for a while.

However, when he was at an auction later on, Blake saw a batch of pink diamonds and wondered— if the bracelet was expensive, would a woman hesitate to throw it away?

Malcolm had replied, "Of course, no one would throw away jewelry worth millions."

Blake then nodded and promptly instructed Malcolm to buy the entire batch of pink diamonds.

He wanted to make an unparalleled bracelet.

"The jeweler called yesterday. The bracelet has been completed," Malcolm said.

The bracelet was pink, and even Malcolm, who was quite the rough guy, knew that it was meant for Yasmin.
