Erik had made a move that was a double-edged sword.
At first, he could use it to threaten her, but after everything had unfolded, Erik had turned into a traitor to Blake. If he could use it to intimidate her, she could do the same to him.
"All I did was help Blake get rid of you, you cunning woman." Erik glared at her.
Yasmin retorted, "Only you know if you did it for him or yourself. You clearly wanted to help Giselle steal Blake away from me, but you hid it under the guise of helping him. Did you ask him if he needed your help? Did he ever agree to any of this?"
Erik was speechless. "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Blake about the agreement with Aunt Anna?"
"Go ahead. At worst, the truth will come to light. None of us will have it easy," Yasmin snorted. Noticing his silence, she slowly removed his hand from her shoulder. "You tricked me once, and I returned the favor with a slap. That's fair."
With that, she hailed a cab and left the city hall.
...
Upon arriving at NAS Group, Yasmin received a call from Annalise. She put the phone to her ear.
"Hello, Anna?"
"Is everything settled?" Annalise sounded through the phone.
Yasmin nodded. "It's done. We filed for the divorce this morning. We'll get the divorce certificate in a month."
"Good." Annalise was pleased. "As soon as you have the certificate, I'll get your dad out of jail. Then I'll give you ten million so that you can be reunited with your family."
"Thank you, Anna."
Yasmin hung up. She concluded that she had gotten the best result.
She took a deep breath and reminded herself that she shouldn't feel pain or distress. She had saved her dad, so she should be happy about it.
Cheering herself up, she turned and saw Ivan standing behind her. She didn't know how long he had been listening to her.
Yasmin gave him an apologetic smile and confessed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Burke. I lied to you before."
