"Mrs. Ford, you're the victim here. This situation has nothing to do with you. You can go home after giving your statement." Brooklyn came over to Yasmin with a respectful attitude.
Only then did Adeline come to her senses.
She recognized Blake and asked Brooklyn in shock, "Is that the young entrepreneur often seen on TV, Blake Ford?"
Brooklyn replied, "Yes, that's him."
Adeline almost couldn't stand straight and felt herself become dizzy. "She's Mrs. Ford?"
"Yes."
Adeline's world went dark.
And finally, she fainted.
Brooklyn then escorted Yasmin to Blake's side.
Yasmin's hair was messy and her face was pale.
Then, Blake led her out of the police station with a stern expression and scoffed. "Now do you see what your uncle is really like?"
Yasmin paused, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears.
Meanwhile, Blake strode on ahead, not noticing that Yasmin hadn't followed him.
"Mr. Ford, Madam is still behind." Malcolm reminded him.
Blake then turned around with a stern face and saw Yasmin simply standing there.
Her eyes were red, and her face was as pale as a corpse.
Blake went silent for a moment before walking over to hug Yasmin.
However, Yasmin pushed him away and took a few steps back. Her voice filled with grievance as she said, "Don't hug me. Don't bother with me. Everyone wants to harm me..."
Her eyes were red and teary as she continued, "I was foolish. I never thought that the world could have such shameless people. To think he'd sell me out for money..."
Yasmin then turned to run away, but Blake caught her hand and pulled her back into a tight embrace.
Despite Yasmin's struggle, Blake simply wouldn't let go. Instead, he held her tightly and stroked her head to comfort her.
"What have I ever done to him?" Yasmin's tears streamed down. "I'm his niece—how could he do that to me?"
