Chapter 123
Meanwhile, Erik was struggling to ept the truth.
All this while, he had thought that Giselle was a smart and reasonable woman.
He never expected her to do something like this just to destroy Yasmin.
If her n had seeded tonight, Yasmin''s reputation in high society would have been ruined. And
as a result, his connection to Yasmin would be bound together forever as well.
"I didn''t!" Giselle looked anguished as tears filled her eyes. "I didn''t do anything. I don''t know why
something like this had to happen and ruin my birthday banquet.
"I didn''t even get the chance to y the piano or dance with ke, yet he''s already left with
Yasmin."
Giselle was hoping that her words would hint at Yasmin having seduced ke.
However, Erik quickly noticed something else—ke''s rtionship with Yasmin wasn''t what Giselle
had told him it was like.
Yasmin didn''t seduce ke.
On the contrary, ke seemed to care for her more than she did him.

Erik suddenly felt like a fool, and he stepped away from Giselle in dismay.
He had believed everything she said because he liked her. But he''d never expected her to use him
to drive a wedge between ke and Yasmin.
"Erik!" Giselle quickly stepped forward with tears running down her face.
But then, she suddenly crouched down, saying, "Ouch, my stomach hurts!
"Please don''t leave me, Erik," she sobbed.
Erik paused and turned around. But there was no longer any pity in his eyes.
The only thing he had left was concern for Giselle''s unborn baby.
"Giselle, is ke really your baby''s father?"
Giselle suddenly froze, not answering the question.
…
Yasmin was silent as the car drove into Newphoria Bay.
After the car stopped, ke got out.
Then, upon realizing that Yasmin was still inside, his brows furrowed as he asked, "Aren''t you going
to get out?"
"No. I think I''ll go back to the studio." Yasmin didn''t want to go into the house. So, she told Malcolm,
"Malcolm, send me to Erinnyes."
There was no way Malcolm would follow Yasmin''s instructions unless ke allowed him to do so.
Hence, Malcolm quickly turned to look at ke for an answer.
ke''s expression was cold.
Then, with a raise of his hand, he swiftly pulled Yasmin out of the car.
Startled, Yasmin felt herself being lifted into ke''s embrace. And instantly, the scent of pine
enveloped her.
Yasmin stared at ke as he held her, dumbstruck.
However, ke didn''t pay her much attention as he carried her into the house.
Then, upon reaching the second floor, he brought Yasmin into the master bedroom and tossed her
onto the bed.
"Why did you bring me here?" Yasmin sat up and quickly covered herself with the nket, on guard.
"To apply ointment."
Yasmin was bewildered. "But I''m not injured."
"Didn''t you hurt your feet?" ke nced at her.
"How did you know?" Yasmin asked, taken aback.
"You were walking quite weirdly tonight. What''s more, it''s unusual for a heels lover to suddenly wear
ts."
ke then turned around to grab the medical kit.
Yasmin was surprised to know that ke had noticed this.
After a while, ke returned and sat on the edge of the bed.
Then, he began removing Yasmin''s shoes.
Yasmin was startled to feel ke''s fingers on her foot and quickly fended him off, saying, "I can do
it myself."
"No, I''ll do it." ke ignored her protests and removed her shoe to reveal her blisters.
He frowned. "What were you thinking? How could you attend the banquet with him when your feet
were like this?"
"You''ve got it all wrong. I didn''t go to the banquet because of him. I went because of Roxy."
"I thought Roxy only tried to frame you after you arrived."
"No," Yasmin replied gloomily. "I wouldn''t have gone if it weren''t for the gown."
When ke heard this, he lifted his head to look at Yasmin and asked, "So, you didn''t attend the
banquet because of Ivan?"
