Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 85

Yasmin was having breakfast downstairs when Erik suddenly came and sat across from her.

He muttered, “I’m sorry!”

Recalling the incident, she looked at him and said, “You were the one who pushed me down the slope, right?”

“Yeah. Why else would I apologize to you?” Erik’s face darkened a

little.

Yasmin smiled. “Since you’re not sincere, why bother apologizing?”

As she spoke, she sensed Erik’s icy demeanor intensifying, his gaze turning even sharper.

“Yesterday, I just wanted to scare you. I didn’t really intend to push you down. It was my fault.”

She stirred her coffee leisurely and replied, “I’m fine. It’s Blake who got injured.”

“Blake told me to apologize to `you,” said Erik unwillingly.

If it weren’t for Blake’s insistence, he would not have come.

Yasmin paused in her actions. So, it was Blake who had asked Erik to apologize to her. She took a sip of her coffee, not showing her emotions, but there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes.

Erik suddenly said, “But don’t think I consider you inferior just because I apologized to you.’

She laughed. “I never thought it that way.”

“It was my fault for causing Blake harm, so I’ll be here to look after

him in these few days. As for you, restrain yourself. Don’t think that you’re allowed to seduce him just because you’re living together.”

Erik thought Yasmin was the one seducing Blake, contributing to the incident upstairs.

Almost spitting out her coffee, she looked at him and asked, “What are you imagining?”

It was Blake who had started it just now.

“Hmph! I’ve seen many women like you. You just want to take advantage of Blake by seducing him, don’t you? Don’t take me for a fool,” Ērik snorted.

Yasmin’s expression turned cold. “Do you have any evidence?”

“What evidence do I even need? Haven’t the Starr family been thinking this way for years?” said Erik arrogantly. “I heard that your uncle, Victor, has been spreading the word outside, claiming that Blake is his nephew-in-law and using his name to get projects.”

On this point, Yasmin had no way to refute. After her father went to prison, Victor became the head of the company. Due to the many difficulties caused by the company’s heavy debts, he used Blake’s name to do business.

That was also why Victor desperately wanted Yasmin to please Blake. Perhaps because Victor was making money outside using Blake’s name, people thought she was a gold digger.

Although she hadn’t done anything, she could not deny that fact because it was all true. She remained silent, not uttering a word.

Thinking that she was feeling guilty, Erik sneered. “You’d better stay put. If I see you trying to seduce Blake again, I won’t let you off.”

Yasmin did not know what else to say, so she could only sigh. After finishing her meal, she went back upstairs to work on her sketches.

Many high-level executives from the group came bringing documents to Oak Garden to discuss matters with Blake. Even with a fractured bone, he would not delay work. He was truly a workaholic.

Yasmin painted the whole morning. Her phone rang when she was just about to take an afternoon nap. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Where’s my breakfast?” Blake asked her over the phone.

“What breakfast?” she replied in a daze.

“Didn’t you say this morning that you would bring me food? It’s been several hours,” he reminded her.

Only then did Yasmin remember. She asked, “Haven’t you eaten anything until now?”

She checked the time. It was already 3:00 pm.

“I’ve been busy until now. Nobody brought me any food,” he said calmly.

Surprised, she asked, “What happened? Didn’t Mary bring you lunch?”
