Chapter 36
“Hold on.” ke wasn’t done yet. His fingers kept brushing against Yasmin’s skin, making her heart
flutter.
She couldn’t help urging, “Hurry up.”
“Don’t move,” kemanded. How was he going to get the ne on when she wouldn’t stop
moving?
Yasmin had no choice but to remain still. ke was irritated by the ne and turned her around
to face him so he could put it on. When she looked up, she was greeted by the sight of his
handsome face.
In his straight suit, he looked like a king who was ready tomand his forces. He exuded nobility
eyes. 1 grace. Yasmin didn’t dare to meet his gaze, so she lowered her
ke noticed her nerves and nced at her a few more times. She sat in his arms with a blush on
her cheeks. She looked like a beautiful porcin doll. His gaze was dark as he said, Remember to
follow my lead when we’re in there.”
Yasmin’s eyes were moist as she looked up at him. “You’ll let Eunice off the hook if I do well, right?”
“Yeah.”
Yasmin smiled.
They were shoulder–to–shoulder as they entered the vi. The first thing that greeted them was a
teacup that had been flung in their direction. Itnded on the floor by ke’s feet and shattered into
pieces.
“I refuse to have a bastard like you in the Ford family, ke! I was against that O’Shea woman
marrying you in the past, yet you’re still getting mixed up with her. I want you to get rid of her right
now!” Arthur roared.
Yasmin’sshes fluttered in fear. She looked up to see two people in the living room. One was
Arthur, and the other was ke’s mother, Annalise Keating.
Arthur had thrown the earlier teacup at ke. He had one hand on a walking cane as he red at
ke, looking furious. He was in his 80s but was still sprightly. When he saw how scared Yasmin
was, he gave her a look and said, “Step aside, Yasmin. This isn’t directed at you.”
“Grandpa,” she greeted obediently.
“Step aside. I’ll teach this scumbag a lesson on your behalf!”
Yasmin tried to suppress herughter. It was amusing that Arthur had referred to ke as a
scumbag. At the same time, she was scared by Annalise ring at her from her seat beside Arthur.
She lowered her head and stepped aside.

ke didn’t seem to be bothered by this. He walked over to Arthur leisurely and sat beside him. “I
haven’t done anything, Grandpa. Has someone been filling your head with nonsense again?”
His uncle’s family loved tattling on him. Arthur was in good health, but his blood pressure was high.
ke was worried it would shoot up if he were to continue raging, so he tried to appease Arthur.
Arthur snorted. “I’m not blind. I can read the news for myself. I saw your scandal at the top of the
trending topics on Twitter!”
“That’s just some nonsense those paparazzi cooked up. If you’re referring to yesterday’s article,
then I’ll have you know that Yasmin was the one in the car with me.” ke nced at Yasmin.
She hurriedly nodded and chimed in, “He’s telling the truth, Grandpa. I was the one in the car
yesterday.”
This took Arthur aback. He looked at them doubtfully. “Really?”
“Cross my heart and hope to die.” Yasmin looked earnest.
Arthur looked astonished. He coughed awkwardly and said, “You two are already married. You
could’ve talked things out at home. Why did you have to get it on in the car…”
a you’ve
Yasmin knew Arthur had misunderstood. Her face burned as she got it wrong, Grandpa! Those
paparazzi kept taking photos of us. ke was afraid I wouldn’t have any privacy if they caught my
face, so he made me hide. We weren’t…”
They hadn’t been doing what Arthur thought they’d been doing. Yasmin felt especially pressured
with Annalise ring at her. She exined the situation while blushing furiously the whole time.
