"What do you mean? Did | make a mistake?" Blake asked with confusion. He understood the situation clearly
from Yasmine's aggressive demeanor and constant use of derogatory terms toward Yolanda. It was obvious that
Yasmine was bullying Yolanda, who had stood up for herself.
He glared at Lewis. "You said your sister was being bullied? Is this how she bullies others?"
Fearing Yolanda might misunderstand, Blake quickly explained, "Ms. Henderson, | didn't know you were here.
This man ctosaying his sister was being bullied, so | cto check it out."
Yolanda looked at Blake's anxious expression and didn't vent her anger at him; she nodded slightly. "You handle
it."
"Mr. Rowse..."
Lewis and Yasmine exchanged confused glances at Blake's sudden change in demeanor. They were used to
seeing him as decisive and commanding; they had never seen him speak humbly to anyone, especially not to
someone who appeared so insignificant.
"Who is this person bothering you?" Lewis leaned closer to Yasmine and whispered.
"l...I don't know! She's just a nobody who spent tin juvenile detention; she has no background!"
Despite Blake's attitude toward Yolanda, Yasmine still clung to her hope. "Mr. Rowse, this person is bullyingin
the restaurant... She injured my bodyguards and hurt the security staff! You can't side with her!"
"Bullying?"

Blake shook his head at Yasmine's claims. "Ms. Henderson isn't that kind of person. How dare you slander her?"
"I did not!"
At this point, Yasmine could only force herself to argue back. "If you don't believe me, ask the waitstaff whether
she started all this!"
The restaurant staff and security quickly nodded in agreement with Yasmine. They were intimidated by the Judd
family's reputation and didn't want to cross them.
Yolanda had no background either; even if she happened to know Mr. Rowse, he wouldn't protect her if she was
in the wrong, so they chose to side with Yasmine and lied.
"That's nonsense!" Sharon couldn't hold back any longer as she saw everyone conspiring against Yolanda.
"I was having dinner with Yolanda when this Yasmine girl cover demanding we give up our seats. When we
refused, she threatened us; how could Yolanda have started anything?"
"The waitstaff here is just her lackeys; they're all in on this deception!"
Sharon's words left the room in stunned silence.
"How dare you?" Blake shouted angrily.
"Lewis, do you think I'm a fool? You're using my nto bully people and then trying to turn the tables on me! If
I hadn't been here today, you would have madelook like the villain!"
"Mr. Rowse, please letexplain..."
Lewis felt the heat of Blake's fury and turned pale, trembling like a leaf.
"It's not what you think; I..."
"lI warn you, Ms. Henderson is my guest!"
Blake interrupted Lewis firmly, emphasizing each word.
"Anyone who offends Ms. Henderson is going against me!"
Both Lewis and Yasmine were left breathless. Sophie and Tina shook their heads in disbelief.
"Apologize now!"
Blake pointed at Yasmine and Lewis.
"Mr. Rowse, our Judd family has been your most valuable partner for years; you can't..."
Lewis's face turned ashen, but he stood tall despite his fear.
The Judd family had played a significant role for Doxcon Group; he couldn't believe Blake would turn against
them for someone insignificant.
"Not anymore."
Blake's casual remark about this changed the fate of the Judd family entirely.
Lewis staggered as if he might fall over. Blake's words meant that the judd family had becexpendable.
With a mere flick of his fingers, countless enterprises would rush to take their place.
"I'll count to five. If you don't apologize by then, don't blme for shutting down all your business dealings."
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Okay... Okay... I'm sorry..."
Lewis and Yasmine felt a chill run through them as they succumbed to pressure; even if they were unwilling, they
had no choice but to bow their heads for the sake of their family's future.
Yasmine was in tears, repeatedly apologizing. "Ms. Henderson, | was wrong. | shouldn't have underestimated
you!"
Lewis also apologized to Yolanda, "It's my failure for not teaching my sister proper manners; we have offended
Ms. Henderson. | hope Ms. Henderson can forgive us just this once."
"Sharon, let's go."
Yolanda left Yasmine and the others in Blake's hands without further involvement. After Yasmine and Lewis
apologized, she took Sharon by the arm and left the restaurant.
"Mr. Rowse, we've apologized."
Lewis held onto a glimmer of hope deep inside him that Blake was merely putting
on a show for Yolanda's benefit.
