Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 97

Everyone was stunned when they heard Yasmin's answer.

Giselle looked at Blake. He remained expressionless and calm.

"Erik, when did you and Yasmin get so close?" Giselle asked Erik.

"We've gotten closer lately." Erik wiped away his surprised look and smiled at Giselle. Yasmin's unexpected cooperation took him by surprise.

The next moment, he walked over to Yasmin and put his arm around her shoulders. "Let's go then. I'll take you home."

Yasmin gave him a cool look while Blake shot them both a glare.

"Since the marriage is over, work with me a little," Erik whispered in her ear. "Blake is watching you, don't make a scene."

Yasmin looked at Blake. His eyes were fixed on Erik's hand.

Yasmin reached out and wrapped her hand around Erik's waist. She nodded at Blake. "We'll be on our way then."

"Wait," Blake called out.

They turned to look at him. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Blake smiled. He took Giselle's hand and walked confidently toward them. "Erik, you should be careful with her. You can't tame her."

Yasmin stiffened.

Blake had already taken Giselle to his Cullinan. Every step they took was elegant.

Yasmin watched them leave. Erik sneered, "How about that? They make a perfect couple."

"Mr. Hayes, you'd make a great actor," Yasmin scoffed. She ignored him as she picked up her phone to search for Annalise's WhatsApp.

Erik chuckled. "I'm different. My love is pure. I just hope the one I like is happy."

That was why he'd been manipulated until he had nothing left.

Yasmin wanted to say that that wasn't happiness but stupidity, but she couldn't be bothered.

She let Giselle manipulate him to her heart's content. She wondered how angry he would be when he snapped out of it one day.

Yasmin texted Annalise, "Anna, the divorce is final."

Erik stood beside her. He saw the message and was pleased. He pulled a checkbook out of his pocket.

"Since I used you yesterday, I'll compensate you. Consider this payment for your heartache." He wrote a check for five million, tore it off, and handed it to her. "Here."

Yasmin took the check and looked at it. She then raised her hand and slapped him.

The crisp slap echoed across the parking lot.

Erik was taken by surprise. A red mark had appeared on his handsome face.

He was stunned. He glared at her.

"This slap is payback for your plans yesterday. As for this five million, it's for your medical expenses. Don't let me see you again. Get lost!"

After saying that, she tore the check into pieces and threw it in his face. She turned to leave confidently.

Erik snapped. He grabbed her wrist. "Yasmin, how could you slap me? Don't go!"

His intense gaze pierced her. She was afraid, but she couldn't back down.

"If you do anything to me, I'll tell Blake about your plot against me. Think about it. You didn't just conspire against me. You also conspired against Blake. When he finds out that his best friend betrayed him, what will he think of you?"

Yasmin met his cold gaze directly. "If that happens, I'll be the victim, and you'll be the culprit."

Erik shivered.
