Chapter 38 

“Okay.” Yasmin went to do as told. 

Everyone circled the dining table. Neil and his family watched as Yasmin set the table. They could tell that Annalise didn’t like her. It was why she would tell Yasmin to do things that the maids were supposed to do. It led to the rest of the family disrespecting her. 

Yolanda Lowe, Neil’s wife, smiled and said, “Yasmin’s so obedient, Anna. She does  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

everything you tell her to do.” 

Annalise smiled faintly. “That’s about her only strength. She’s obedient and sensible.” 

“Oh, that reminds me. Has there been any news of a pregnancy on Yasmin’s end yet? She and Blake have already been married for two years, right?” Yolanda asked on purpose. She was delighted that her daughter–in–law had recently gotten pregnant. 

Her words struck Annalise’s sore spot. Still, she smiled and said, “Oh, I couldn’t and wouldn’t stick my nose into these youngsters‘ business. Besides, Blake is so busy all the time. 

“He’s always flying here and there for work, unlike Zachary. Your Zachary doesn’t need to go to work, does he? It’s no wonder he has time to start a family.” 

Her simple counterattack made Yolanda’s expression darken. She knew Annalise was insinuating that her son, Zachary Ford, was useless. 

Meanwhile, Yasmin quietly served everyone’s broth. Yoland and Annalise would always be at each other’s throats when they were together. 

Two years ago, Blake had thoroughly defeated Neil to gain control of Windmere Group. From then on, every family gathering consisted of Neil and his family saying things that dripped with acid. Yasmin was already used to it. 

Yolanda looked upset at being snubbed. She nudged Roxy. The latter immediately caught her drift and said to Yasmin with a smile, “Get me a spoon, Yasmin.” 

These were things that the maids were for, but the Ford family loved ordering Yasmin. around instead. All they wanted to do was humiliate her. 

Yasmin was used to it. She was about to turn to get the spoon when Blake helped Arthur into the dining hall. He said, “You don’t need to do anything. Let her get it herself.” 

Roxy was taken aback. Then, she said, “I was just asking Yasmin for a small favor, Blake. It’s not a big deal.”

“Let me ask you for a small favor, too, then. Grandpa and I were having a game of chess in the garden. It’s still out there. Go and clean it up.” Blake looked at her. His gaze was icy and terrifying. It made a chill run down Roxy’s spine. 

Still, she refused to budge. She muttered, “I’m having my meal, Blake!” 

“You can continue with it after you’re done cleaning and tidying up.” Blake glanced at Malcolm, who walked over to Roxy and tugged her to her feet. 

Roxy was stunned. “Malcolm?” 

He said, “Mr. Ford is only asking you for a small favor, Ms. Roxy.” 

The others at the table didn’t dare to make a sound. Roxy glanced at Yolanda. The latter shook her head, indicating that she shouldn’t offend Blake. 

Roxy had no choice but to head to the garden. She snapped, “Fine, then. I’ll do it!” 

Malcolm took her away. 

Yasmin was surprised by this. Blake had helped her again. It seemed like he was standing up for her whenever others tried to bully her. Maybe he just didn’t want Neil and his family to have the upper hand. 

Blake helped Arthur into his seat. Then, he walked over to Yasmin and held her hand as they took their seats. He said, “You can ignore everyone who tries to order you around in the future. You’re my wife and the lady of the Ford family. Feel free to kick out anyone who dares to disrespect you.” 

As words woNG! 

at Yolanda. She looked awkward as she scooped some food onto Yasmin’s plate. “Don’t be mad at Roxy, Yasmin. She wasn’t ordering you around. She was just calling out to you out of habit. It shows how much she likes and relies on you.” 

“Is that so? We’ll remember to ‘like and rely‘ on you in the future, Aunt Yolanda,” Blake said with a smile.
