Chapter 27

When Blake returned to Oak Garden, it was already nighttime. Mary walked out and said, Mr. Ford,

Mr. Arthur’s secretary called to ask you and Mrs. Ford to drop by on Saturday night.

“Alright,” Blake said. “Has Yasmin had dinner?”

Mary looked confused. “Mrs. Ford hasn’t returned since leaving the house in the evening.

Blake was taken aback. He hurried upstairs and saw that her desk was empty. A portion of her

clothes had been taken away.

Blake’s expression turned icy. His handsome features looked especially menacing.

Yasmin had dinner with Eunice at the studio. Eunice bought some beer. As they drank, they talked

about the collaboration with NAS Group.

Eunice was surprised. “Are you serious? NAS Group is at the top of the luxury brands industry. Do

they really want to work with us?”

“I just can’t help thinking that everything’s going too smoothly.” Yasmin didn’t know why she felt this

way, but she wasn’t really ready to take the risk.

Eunice felt the same. “Maybe we should look out for other options.”

“Okay, then.” Yasmin nodded. It was always better to be safe than sorry.

Eunice scrolled on her phone. Suddenly, she shouted, “F uck! That scu mbag Blake Ford’s on the

trending news again. This time, it’s even worse than before. He was caught having sex in the car!”

Sex in the car?

Yasmin snat ched the phone from her. The article only had a few blurry photos-they were of her and

Blake. She looked baffled. “What the hell is wrong with these people? What’s with all this rubbish?”

“How do you know it’s rubbish?” Eunice asked.

Yasmin revealed, saying, “Because I’m the woman in the car!”

Eunice gaped at her. “What’s wrong with you, Yaz? Why are you involved with that scu m bag

again?”

“It’s not like what you think.” Yasmin explained, “I happened to be in the car, and the pap ara zzi

came after us like crazy. We ran from them the whole way.”

Eunice was speechless after hearing the whole thing. “Wow, these pap ara zzi are pros at making

things up.”

They could turn a few blurry photos into an exciting story about having sex in the car.

“Right?” That was why Blake had shielded her from the cameras at the time. He was afraid of

exposing her in the public eye and disrupting her private life.

The Internet was abuzz about the “sex in the car” incident. Netizens commented about how wealthy

men would never be loyal and how Blake’s loving image was now destroyed.

Giselle’s Twitter was also swarmed by comments. Some people made fun of her, while some felt

indignant on her behalf. Just then, she released a statement announcing she was the

woman in the car.

She explained that she and Blake had left together after having a meal. She also asked her fans not

to grasp at thin air.

This announcement immediately shot to the top of the list of trending topics. The tides. turned, and

everyone was giving them their blessings.

The netizens commented, “Oh, my G od. You two are a match made in heaven! I knew the rumors

were false! Mr. Ford has waited for Giselle for ten years. How could he move on with someone new

so soon? I can’t wait for their official announcement!”

An official announcement?

Eunice exploded in a rage when she saw Giselle’s announcement. She chu gg ed her beer and said

to Yasmin, “Go d, that Giselle’s disgusting. She announced that she was the woman in the car, and

everyone on the Internet actually believed her! They’re giving her and Blake their blessings!”

“They’re just having some fun.” Yasmin didn’t want to comment on the matter. She took a swig of

her beer, feeling rather annoyed. 1

Eunice was hot-tempered and unwilling to let the matter slide. She went online to wage war against

the netizens.

Yasmin tried to stop her. “Eunice, stop arguing with them.”

“I just can’t stand that mistress’ obnoxious attitude!” Eunice had had a little too much to

drink. Her eyes had a tinge of drunkenness to them. She kept commenting online that Giselle was a

homewrecker and that Blake was married. She added that Blake’s wife’s

surname was Starr.

The netizens didn’t believe her. They came after her, hurling insults and curses her way.

Yasmin wanted to stop Eunice, but she’d already collapsed in a haze of drunkenness. She flopped

onto the table and fell asleep.

Yasmin looked exasperated. She called Eunice’s boyfriend, Colin Gray, and had him come to the

studio to take Eunice home.
