Chapter 74


    ke looked over.


    Dressed in a light pink skiing outfit and wearing colorful skiing goggles, Yasmin was practicing skiing


    under the guidance of Ivan. ke could not see her expression, but a faint smile lit up her face.


    Apparently, she was having fun.


    ke withdrew his gaze as he furrowed his brows.


    Yasmin deliberately did not look at him. She knew he had arrived, drawing the attention of all the


    girls present. However, she was determined not to let him influence her emotions. Without ncing


    in his direction, she focused on practicing skiing with Ivan.


    She was practicing on a snowboard, simr to skateboarding. After fastening the buckles, Ivan held


    her hand to help her stand up. However, as soon as she rose, she lost her bnce.


    and was about to fall.


    “Be careful!” Ivan gripped her hand and steadied her. From a distance, someone’s gaze noticeably


    darkened.


    Yasmin could sense it, but she urged herself not to care about it. She smiled at Ivan, “Thank


    you.”


    “It’s okay. It’s normal to have a few bumps and bruises when you’re new to skiing.” Ivan led her by


    the hands as they glided slowly through the snow.


    Erik watched them coldly. Then, he turned and asked ke, “ke, this woman is openly cheating


    on you. Does it not bother you?”


    ke’s expression grew darker at the words “cheating on“.


    Sitting beside ke, Giselle softly exined, “Erik, you’ve misunderstood. Yasmin and ke’s


    rtionship is essentially an arranged marriage. They have no feelings for each other and have


    gone their separate ways for a while.”


    Erik and Joel were momentarily stunned at her words.


    “What do you mean they’ve gone their separate ways?” Erik was confused.


    Giselle said, “It means their marriage is in name only. They’re not together and don’t interfere in


    each other’s romantic affairs. In a way, they’re like strangers.”


    Erik might believe it, but Joel did not fall for it. ke liked to make love with Yasmin in a


    rough way. It was unlikely for them not to have feelings for each other and to go their separate


    ways.


    As he watched Giselle pull Erik aside, Joel looked sideways at ke and asked, “ke, is it


    true? Have you and Yasmin gone your separate ways?


    ke did not answer.


    Meanwhile, Erik asked Giselle, “If they’ve really gone their separate ways, why doesn’t ke just


    divorce her and be with you?”


    Giselle wore a mournful expression. “You know Yasmin’s dad orchestrated this marriage. They got


    the goods on ke. He can’t just walk away so easily.”


    Indeed, the entire group was aware that ke was coerced into the marriage.


    Giselle asked, “Erik, I’ve got a bold request. And I’m wondering if you would do me a favor?”

    Erik said, “Go on.”


    Looking at him, Giselle continued, “Actually, I know why Yasmin refused to divorce. She might be


    hoping to find a wealthy partner before leaving ke.” She implied that Yasmin was a gold digger.

    Erik’s gaze darkened.


    Giselle looked troubled. “Now Yasmin’s seeing Ivan. If Ivan’s into her, she’s likely to agree to


    divorce. But…‘


    Erik looked at her. “But what?”


    Giselle sighed, “I just have a feeling that Yasmin isn’t as innocent as she seems. Ivan’s my friend.


    I’m afraid that he might get hurt.” She stopped short of exining further. The implication was


    clear–she wanted Erik to teach Yasmin a lesson.


    Erik roughly grasped her meaning and nced at Yasmin in the snow. She was having a good time


    with Ivan.


    Erik’s eyes flickered, and an idea suddenly came to him. He eximed inwardly, “A gold digger,


    huh?” With that, he decided to pursue Yasmin and then dump her, making her regret it for the rest


    of her life!
