Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 149

Hector's brother, Gabriel Chadwick, stood beside Adeline and asked, "Mr. Ford, what do you mean? Are you saying my brother should show some sincerity?”

"Break his leg." Blake said coldly. Gabriel shivered and explained, "Mr. Ford, actually, my brother and your wife are victims. The real perpetrator behind this was Mrs. Ford's uncle."

"That's between you and Victor. All I know is that my wife was harassed. If she hadn't knocked your brother unconscious, this would be more than just breaking a leg.”

Blake's voice was commanding and intimidating. The Chadwicks froze and felt a chill creeping up from their feet up to their heads. Indeed, if Yasmin had really been assaulted by Hector, the consequences would've been disastrous.

Gabriel guessed Blake's intention and said. “Mr. Ford, you can rest assured that we'll handle Victor ourselves. After all, he put my brother in this situation, so we won't let him off."

At this, Blake's lips curled up slightly.

Thinking that he'd guessed right about Blake wanting them to deal with Victor, Gabriel then said respectfully, "As for my brother, he's now in the ICU Could you perhaps be a bit more lenient with him?"

Blake then shot him an ice-cold glare and said, “One leg, non-negotiable.”

Gabriel was so frightened by Blake's gaze that he broke out in a cold sweat and trembled as he replied, "Yes! I'll present to you a satisfactory result tomorrow.”

"See them out." Blake then stood up and took Yasmin upstairs as Mary saw the Chadwick family out. Yasmin glanced back at them and quietly asked, "Are we really going to break his leg?”

"If there's no consequence for doing something wrong, he'll do it again.” Blake looked at Yasmin and continued, “Instead of feeling sorry for him, you should think about the women he's drugged before.”

Blake was absolutely right.

In fact, his response surprised Yasmin. She hadn't expected him to be so upright and principled. Suddenly, she didn't feel sorry for Hector anymore. He deserved it for drugging and harassing innocent women! Then, Yasmin went upstairs to take a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, she noticed that her phone had been incessantly ringing.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

It was Ivan calling.

Yasmin sat down and answered, "Hello, Mr. Burke."

"I heard someone caused trouble at your company today.” Ivan said

Yasmin was puzzled. "Mr. Burke, how did you know?"

"Eunice told me,” Ivan explained.

They were in a group chat because of their mutual business interests.

Yasmin checked the group chat and saw that Eunice had indeed shared the news of the day's events. Yasmin felt a bit awkward as she replied, "It's not a big deal."

"Do you need help with it?"

Yasmin shook her head and refused, "No, I'll handle it myself tomorrow."

Initially, shehad her doubts. But after listening to Blake, she felt that he wastight—if the wrongdoers~ didn't-face any consequences; they would just boldly repeat thei® actions. ta” -

Blake had said, “When you're feeling too soft, remember how heartless they were to you.” Exactly.

If Victor had shown any compassion, he wouldn't have sold her to Hector.

But since he'd disregarded their family ties first. Yasmin had no reason to be merciful now.

"Can you really handle it?” Ivan asked.

Yasmin smiled and said, "If I can't, there's always the police. Their. Ss actions were illegal, and I could have ther arrested.” Swnovel.net oS

"Didn't think you'd have such a goad idea.” Ivan complimented her. Yasmin blushed, not knowing what to say next.

Just then, Blake came out of the shower and was drying his hair.
