Yasmin turned around and replied softly, “No, thanks. Our studio has been busy with a coborationtely, so I don’t think I have the time to <b>go</b>.


    “Is it the coboration with NAS Group?” Giselle asked.


    “Yeah<b>,</b><b>” </b>Yasmin confirmed.


    ke’s demeanor turned ice cold as he learned that the two had still ended up partnering together.


    After Yasmin left, only Giselle and ke remained in the backyard.


    Giselle was wearing a sexy spaghetti–strap dress. In a calcted move, she leaned forward to hold ke’s hand, revealing her cleavage.

    She asked softly, “Why don’t you sleep over tonight? I’ll ask the maids to prepare your things.


    It was a tant invitation.


    This wasn’t the first time she was making a move, but he always pretended not to notice.


    His expression was stoic as usual as he replied, “I’m busy tonight.”


    With that, he stood up and left.


    At the vi gate, Yasmin received Ivan’s call. “Yasmin, your Porsche has been repaired. Do you want me to bring it over to you?”


    Yasmin finally remembered that her car had been sent for repairs after being damaged during


    the ident.

    Her feet still felt sore, so she replied, you deliver it to No. 8, Newphoria Bay?”


    She wanted to take a look at her former home.


    “Sure.”


    <b>“</b>Thank you,” Yasmin replied before walking over to No. 8.


    The gate was locked, and the yard was covered in fallen leaves, making the house look cold and


    abandoned.


    Just then, another car drove past No. 8..

    ke, who was sitting in the back seat, looked up and spotted Yasmin standing at the vi gate. Despite the cold wind, the gorgeous woman was gracefully observing the plum blossoms in the yard.


    “Is she short of moneytely?” ke asked softly.


    “Didn’t she return to the Starr family home yesterday night?” Malcolm hinted. Every time Yasmin returned home, the Starr family woulde up with countless excuses to ask for money or projects, which was why ke never liked them.


    “Go find out what’s going on,” ke ordered.


    Tentatively, Malcolm asked, “Sir, do you n to help Madam solve this issue?”


    Before ke could answer, the pink Porsche Yasmin had sent for repairs rolled up the street and pulled up in front of her.


    The car window rolled down to reveal Ivan’s handsome face. “Here you go, Yasmin.”


    Yasmin was surprised. “Mr. Burke, you didn’t have toe in person.”


    “I’d just gotten off work anyway, so I thought I’d take a drive,” Ivan responded with a small


    smile.


    Yasmin smiled back.


    “Is this your former house?” Ivan asked, ncing at the vi.


    “Mm–hmm.”


    Yasmin nodded before sensing a gaze. She turned her head and met ke’s stern expression.


    Recalling Giselle’s vi, Yasmin decided to ignore him. She straightened her spine and said to Ivan, “Look, the plum blossoms in my yard are blooming.”

    The white plum trees nted in the yard danced beautifully in the cold breeze.


    Getting out of the car, Ivan walked over and stood next to Yasmin outside the gates to admire. the scenery.


    “Drive,” ke ordered coldly.


    Malcolm immediately stepped on the gas pedal. After a moment, he asked, “Are you going to solve Mrs. Ford’s issues with her family?”


    “Forget it.” ke averted his eyes from Yasmin, scowling.


    Malcolm was confused. “What do you mean?”
