Chapter 50
Yasmin asked, “What about our families‘ feud?”
She meant when Stuart threatened Blake.
Annalise said, “As long as this succeeds, the Ford family will stop holding a grudge against the Starr family. Our families will maintain friendly relations.”
Yasmin was glad to hear this. If she divorced Blake, her father could walk free from prison, and the Ford family would no longer hate the Starr family.
Yasmin smiled after not having done so in several days. Her mood felt lighter. “I’m willing to go through with this divorce as long as you can get my father out, Anna. I’ll get divorced right away and never bother Blake ever again.”
Yasmin was telling the truth. If her father was saved, then the noose around her neck would loosen. From that point on, she’d be a free woman.
Annalise smiled warmly when Yasmin agreed to do this. “Alright. Let’s do this then.”
“But I have a question.” Yasmin suddenly recalled something.
Annalise’s brows wrinkled when she thought Yasmin was going back on her word.
Yasmin said, “Blake hates my family because of what happened in the past, Anna. I actually did suggest divorcing him a couple of days ago, but Blake wants to keep me trapped for the rest of my life so he can get revenge on my family.”
Annalise was taken aback. She didn’t expect her son to be so extreme.
Blake was willing to forgo his own child to get his revenge on the Starr family.
Annalise thought about it for a moment before asking, “Let me ask you something, Yasmin. Are you really willing to divorce Blake?”
“Yes.” Yasmin really did want to. She wouldn’t force things with a man who didn’t love her anymore.
Though it would be difficult to let her feelings go, she would do her best to do so. Regardless of the pain and sadness Yasmin would feel, she would do all she could to close her heart off from Blake. She would make sure she no longer felt anything toward him.
Annalise nodded upon hearing Yasmin’s promise. “I’ll find a way to make you two divorce.”
“What way?” Yasmin was pleased with this plan, but she was also cautious.

She needed to know just what plan Annalise had in mind. She wasn’t going to commit a crime if that was what Annalise wanted to suggest.
Annalise said, “Blake will definitely let you go if you get into a relationship with another man. He has strong OCD and won’t accept a woman who’s slept with another man.”
Yasmin was surprised.
Annalise wanted her to cheat on Blake?
“I don’t mean for you to find just any man, Yasmin. Though you’ve married into our family without bearing children for two years, Grandpa is still really fond of you. I’ll find you a proper suitor on the account of Grandpa’s affection for you. That way, when you’re divorcing Blake, you can speak to Grandpa about it, and things will unfold naturally.”
Yasmin was still hesitant.
Annalise swore, “I won’t find just anyone for you, Yasmin. Don’t worry. I’ll pick out a fine man for you. Try and see how things go when you two meet one another. If things work out, you two can start dating. No pressure.”
Yasmin couldn’t help but admit that Annalise was good at manipulating people. Her resolve was wavering.
If her marriage with Blake failed, her father could be granted parole, and she could be free again. Even an idiot knew what the right decision was.
Yasmin nodded. “I’ll do as you say, Anna.”
She would do anything for her father.
