Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 74

Blake looked over.

Dressed in a light pink skiing outfit and wearing colorful skiing goggles, Yasmin was practicing skiing under the guidance of Ivan. Blake could not see her expression, but a faint smile lit up her face. Apparently, she was having fun.

Blake withdrew his gaze as he furrowed his brows.

Yasmin deliberately did not look at him. She knew he had arrived, drawing the attention of all the girls present. However, she was determined not to let him influence her emotions. Without glancing in his direction, she focused on practicing skiing with Ivan.

She was practicing on a snowboard, similar to skateboarding. After fastening the buckles, Ivan held her hand to help her stand up. However, as soon as she rose, she lost her balance.

and was about to fall.

“Be careful!” Ivan gripped her hand and steadied her. From a distance, someone’s gaze noticeably darkened.

Yasmin could sense it, but she urged herself not to care about it. She smiled at Ivan, “Thank

you.”

“It’s okay. It’s normal to have a few bumps and bruises when you’re new to skiing.” Ivan led her by the hands as they glided slowly through the snow.

Erik watched them coldly. Then, he turned and asked Blake, “Blake, this woman is openly cheating on you. Does it not bother you?”

Blake’s expression grew darker at the words “cheating on“.

Sitting beside Blake, Giselle softly explained, “Erik, you’ve misunderstood. Yasmin and Blake’s relationship is essentially an arranged marriage. They have no feelings for each other and have gone their separate ways for a while.”

Erik and Joel were momentarily stunned at her words.

“What do you mean they’ve gone their separate ways?” Erik was confused.

Giselle said, “It means their marriage is in name only. They’re not together and don’t interfere in each other’s romantic affairs. In a way, they’re like strangers.”

Erik might believe it, but Joel did not fall for it. Blake liked to make love with Yasmin in a

rough way. It was unlikely for them not to have feelings for each other and to go their separate ways.

As he watched Giselle pull Erik aside, Joel looked sideways at Blake and asked, “Blake, is it

true? Have you and Yasmin gone your separate ways?

Blake did not answer. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Meanwhile, Erik asked Giselle, “If they’ve really gone their separate ways, why doesn’t Blake just divorce her and be with you?”

Giselle wore a mournful expression. “You know Yasmin’s dad orchestrated this marriage. They got the goods on Blake. He can’t just walk away so easily.”

Indeed, the entire group was aware that Blake was coerced into the marriage.

Giselle asked, “Erik, I’ve got a bold request. And I’m wondering if you would do me a favor?”

Erik said, “Go on.”

Looking at him, Giselle continued, “Actually, I know why Yasmin refused to divorce. She might be hoping to find a wealthy partner before leaving Blake.” She implied that Yasmin was a gold digger. 1

Erik’s gaze darkened.

Giselle looked troubled. “Now Yasmin’s seeing Ivan. If Ivan’s into her, she’s likely to agree to divorce. But…‘

Erik looked at her. “But what?”

Giselle sighed, “I just have a feeling that Yasmin isn’t as innocent as she seems. Ivan’s my friend. I’m afraid that he might get hurt.” She stopped short of explaining further. The implication was clear–she wanted Erik to teach Yasmin a lesson.

Erik roughly grasped her meaning and glanced at Yasmin in the snow. She was having a good time with Ivan.

Erik’s eyes flickered, and an idea suddenly came to him. He exclaimed inwardly, “A gold digger, huh?” With that, he decided to pursue Yasmin and then dump her, making her regret it for the rest of her life!
