Chapter 32
Stuart sighed. “ke’s the only man in Stanton City who can protect you. I’ve made my fair share of
enemies. They’re only letting you off the hook because of ke. I’m worried that you’ll be in danger
if you guys get divorced. Now that I’m stuck here, I can’t protect you.
Yasmin looked distressed. Stuart continued, “I know you’re upset, Yaz, but ke can protect you. If
he doesn’t ask for a divorce, you should stay in this marriage.
“The people out there won’t dare toy a hand on you as long as you’re Mrs. Ford. You can get
divorced once I’m out of here. Then, I’ll be able to protect you again.”
Yasmin was unwilling to do as he said, but she didn’t want him to worry while still in prison.
Stuart said, “I know what you’re thinking, Yaz. You’re probably depressed from being stuck in a
loveless marriage, but life isn’t just about being happy.
“Compared to happiness, being alive is more important. Now that I’m behind bars, I can’t protect
you out there. My only hope is that you stay alive. It’s fine if he doesn’t love you doesn’te
home–think of it as you two already being divorced.

“Lower your expectations for him. Let him live his life while you live yours. Treat him like he’s a
stranger. We can talk about the future once I’m out of here, okay?”
Yasmin was the only family Stuart had left, and she was gorgeous. He genuinely worried about her
future.
She could understand what he meant. He was afraid she would be taken advantage of. He feared
she would fall under someone’s control and be nothing more than a ything.
With ke, the worst–case scenario was that he didn’t love her. But if she were to get divorced,
who knew how many other men woulde knocking on her door?
Yasmin knew where Stuart wasing from. After speaking to him, she no longer entertained the
thought of getting a divorce. Sometimes, life just wasn’t hers to control. She would just pretend like
she was already divorced. She could take this chance to prematurely get used to being single.
Yasmin dried her tears as she walked out of the prison. Then, she heard someone honk at her. She
looked up to see a Rolls–Royce Cullinan parked across the road.
Had kee to her after coaxing Giselle?
A wave of sorrow washed over her. She turned and walked away. Even if they couldn’t get

divorced, she didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore. It was as Stuart had said
she would treat ke like he was a stranger.
ke’s expression turned icy when he saw Yasmin walk away without a word. He got out of the car
and caught up with her in a few strides. “Yasmin!”
She ignored him. He’d specially made the trip there. He didn’t even know why. Maybe it was
because she’d cried so heartbreakinglyst night when talking about wanting to see Stuart. The
whole day today, he’d been distracted. He’d subconsciously told Malcolm to take him to the prison.

“Why are you crying?” ke grabbed Yasmin’s hand and made her turn around when he noticed
her tears.
“It’s none of your business,” she said dully.
ke’s expression darkened further. “Grandpa called mest night and told us to drop by Ford
Residence tonight.”
In truth, he could’ve just called her to inform her of this. But for some reason, he’d felt

Yasmin said coolly, “You can bring Giselle with you.”
ke’s mother didn’t like her. She didn’t want to push her buttons. When Yasmin and ke got
married, Arthur had been the only one who’d been rtively happy. The rest of the Ford family had
scorned her.
This was especially true in the case of ke’s mother. She felt that her son had been tricked. He
could’ve married the daughter of a prominent family, but Stuart had tricked him into marrying the
daughter of a bankrupt man. She’d been upset about their marriage since.
That was why Yasmin would never step foot in Ford Residence even if she and ke didn’t divorce.
She would hand the opportunity to anyone who wanted it.
“It doesn’t have much to do with you, but it has everything to do with your best friend.” ke looked
at her pointedly.
