Chapter 422

Author: Lean
Christine took a sip from her glass after the comment.

Since she was Yasmin's daughter, I couldn't refuse her request and also took a sip, saying, "Don't worry. It's a part of my job."

"Ms. Jackson!" A glamorous actress came over to greet Yasmin.

I seized the opportunity to speak. "Ms. Jackson, you carry on. I need to use the toilet."

For some reason, despite the air conditioning in the banquet hall, I felt unusually restless.

Once in the toilet, I stood at the sink, turning on the tap and repeatedly washing my hands, then splashing cold water on my arms.

However, it didn't provide any relief. If anything, the discomfort worsened.

Feeling extremely restless, I turned off the tap and suddenly felt dizzy. I quickly grabbed the sink to steady myself.

In a daze, a thought crossed my mind. ‘I've been drugged.’

From the moment I left the house until now, the only thing I had drunk was a sip of juice from the server.

If someone had intentionally drugged me at this event, then th

    Especially considering the methods of that man, she knew he could handle an orphan without difficulty. She had always been unsure of what she was truly worried about.Hearing this, Yasmin felt even more guilty towards her daughter. "It's okay. I’m right here with you, aren’t I? If it gets damaged or lost, I will get you a new one!""Thank you, Mom!" Christine smiled brightly. "But it's alright. It means a lot to me. It was the first gift you gave me, and if I replace it, it won't hold the same meaning. I want to keep it as it is."That man had warned her. If she flaunted it, he would deal with her personally. She still didn't have the resources to fight back. He had personally placed her in this position, but if he decided otherwise, she could easily be brought back to her original state."You silly girl." Yasmin affectionately pinched her cheeks. "Then go take off your makeup and take care of your skin. It's not good for your skin to leave it on.""Okay."Christine returned to h

    He sounded like he had caught me cheating on him.Here is the English translation of the passage:Although it wasn't the case, I still felt somewhat uneasy. I looked at Ryan and said, "Mr. Frost, he's here to pick me up, so... I won't trouble you any longer. Thank you!"With that, I leaned against the car and walked towards the Mulsanne."You..."Ryan looked at me with concern, his dark eyes swirling with emotion. He took a step closer but didn't say anything, simply helping me into Frank's car.He then turned to Frank and said coldly, "There's no need for misunderstandings. She's been drugged. I'm entrusting her to you because I believe you won't take advantage of her situation."Frank sneered. "Mr. Frost, that's quite amusing. Whether I take advantage of her or not is none of your business. If I remember correctly, you no longer have any relationship with Charlotte."Ryan's back stiffened slightly, and he seemed somewhat dazed before he spoke, "Such matters are best handled w

    At a certain six-star hotel.After taking a shower, Christine received a phone call.On the other end of the line, Jack stood by the window, his half-closed eyes were fierce. "Did you not hear anything I said?"When he chose Christine, it was because she was vulnerable and easy to manipulate. She didn't seem very clever either. But if one day she disobeyed, Jack was prepared to deal with her without hesitation.Christine gripped her phone tightly. She hadn't expected Jack to get the news so quickly!Fortunately, she had anticipated that Jack might find out and come to question her. She wasn't too flustered, and presented the explanation she had prepared, feigning ignorance. "Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"Jack's face was dark. "Someone drugged Charlotte at the party!"Jack might tolerate other issues, but this particular matter was not something he would allow to happen."What?" Christine was genuinely surprised, sounding as if she didn't know anything. "Someone d

    Christine stood by the French window for a while, and upon hearing some faint sounds outside, she turned around, drank the milk from the bedside in one go, and then went out with the empty cup in hand.Hearing the noise, Yasmin glanced up and, thinking about what Joanne had just told her, felt a pang of sympathy. She didn't understand how this girl had grown up, how much hardship she had endured. Even after returning for over a year, she still didn't genuinely bond with her biological mother.The girl was very guarded. Ultimately, it was her own fault for being so neglectful back then.If she hadn't been so careless...Seeing Christine, Yasmin first feigned ignorance and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?""Nothing." Suddenly, Yasmin reached out and hugged her, rubbing her head. "Sweetie, it doesn't matter what you call me, it's just a title. We have plenty of time to get used to it. We'll take it slow."The unexpected embrace made Christine freeze. Normally, Yasmin did like these affect

    ‘The person behind this better hope that I don’t find out who he or she is,’ he thought.Frank narrowed his eyes dangerously, walked to the living room, picked up his phone, and dialed a number. "Paulina, when did you become so slow?"The person on the other end of the line was a girl. "Frank, I’m just about to get in the elevator. I'm on my way."A minute later, the front door was pushed open from the outside. Paulina, wearing a red dress and high heels, entered. She looked momentarily stunned to see Frank standing in the living room. Why did she need to bring medicine if there were no other traditional medicine?Frank, who was still focused on the person in the bathroom, extended his hand. "Where's the medicine?"Paulina quickly came to her senses and handed him a small packet. "Just one pill is enough."As she spoke, her gaze swept around the living room. In an inconspicuous corner of the sofa, there was a pair of women's high heels.Frank usually paid attention to detail

    On the other end of the line, Alana felt something was off.She cocked her brows and said, "What do you mean? Did someone else wear that bathrobe? Frank, confess honestly, and you'll get leniency. Resist, and..."Frank remained unconcerned, barely lifting an eyelid. "What are you going to do if I resist?"Alana smirked. "I’ll return to the country immediately and take my son away."Frank didn’t expect Alana to be so “ruthless”.Frank set aside his work, bit down on a cigarette, lit it, and took a drag. "Last night, it was Charlotte who came."Alana was shocked. "You’re progressing so quickly?"A bathrobe was involved!"Bullshit." Frank cursed with a laugh and got back to the point. "She was drugged. Most likely, it was Yasmin's daughter who did it."As soon as Charlotte returned last night, he had someone check the guest list from the party. The entire guest list was full of people from the entertainment industry, and the only person Charlotte knew was Yasmin. Yasmin's care fo

    Alana quickly changed the topic to avoid him guessing the truth. "Do you remember what day tomorrow is?""What day is it?""Your own birthday!" Alana, frustrated at his lack of awareness, said, "It's such a great occasion. You should naturally invite Charlotte and introduce her to your childhood friends.""Oh." Frank seemed indifferent. "I'd forgotten. I'll see.""What are you waiting for?" Alana waved her hand. "I've already booked the place and I'll notify the people. You'd better muster up the courage with the help of alcohol and make a move."After hanging up, the housekeeper finished cleaning and left.Frank, enduring the pain in his legs, got up and walked slowly to the bathroom to retrieve the bathrobe Charlotte had worn. After confirming it was dry, he folded it carefully and placed it on the bedside table next to the ugly rabbit-shaped piggy bank.The piggy bank from 20 years ago was handmade by her. The current piggy bank was also handmade by her, 20 years later.As h

    "Okay, thanks, Alana," I replied.As soon as I sent that message, Alana sent over the location.Since she knew Danny would be coming, she had booked a well-known club in Jeswood instead of a bar. The environment was quiet, and children were allowed.Jane leaned over. "Is this from Frank?""No, it's from his cousin."I handed the phone to her. "It's Frank's birthday tomorrow. Want to come along?"Jane was still upset about the afternoon's events. "Are you sure you want to go?""It's probably a misunderstanding. His friend will likely be there too. We could go and clear things up in person."If it was a misunderstanding, it was best to resolve it with a face-to-face conversation.Jane, clearly frustrated, gave me a look. "For your sake, fine!""You're the best!"I winked at her and picked up Danny from the carpet. "Danny, tomorrow is Uncle's birthday. Let's go out and pick out a gift for him!"I remembered Frank's birthday and had already prepared a gift. However, if we're ce

    Rhianna blinked her beautiful purple eyes and said coquettishly, "Yes, Westley, are you going to increase the bid? If you don't, the jewelry Mrs. Howard wants will belong to me. But it’s a fair competition, don’t get mad, okay?"Westley curved his lips, a strong and obvious hint of sarcasm in his expression."I could give it to you..."Jordan suddenly looked up, almost thinking she had misheard.But then she realized, Westley was someone with a deep sense of revenge.It was likely that he wasn’t increasing the bid out of desire, but to set a trap for Rhianna.Sure enough, the next words she heard were his cold, indifferent tone."400 million and 200 thousand. It’s not that I look down on you. It is possible for you to come up with 200 thousand dollars, but where are you going to get the 400 million from? Will you sell your family’s castle, or pull all the investments out of your business?"Rhianna wasn’t foolish. She sensed something was wrong and tried to get Westley to raise

    "I don't like it." Jordan threw the paddle she was holding at him and stood up, intending to leave.Out of sight, out of mind.Westley grabbed her arm. "This is your mother's heirloom. You really don't want it?""What?"Jordan's head was about to explode. There had been too many shocks tonight.She still didn’t even know who her mother was.And yet, Westley knew that this was her mother’s heirloom?"Stop making things up. I don’t like this..."Westley still didn’t plan to reveal her true identity.Nathan was intentionally playing this hidden identity game.He was playing along.Besides, whether Jordan was from the Jackson family or not didn’t matter to him.As long as she was his, that was all that mattered."You’ll regret not bidding. Really, are you sure you don’t want it?" he said with a cryptic tone, guiding her subtly.He had already said that Jordan could bid on anything she liked.Yet here she was, hesitating.Jordan stared at the pear blossom jewelry on the stag

    Her hand, resting on her lap, slowly clenched into a fist.Westley admired the change in her expression, silently smirking.Rhianna watched the whole scene and asked Westley in a foreign language, "Why does it feel like your wife doesn’t want to talk to you? Westley, did you intentionally arrange someone to act with you to reject me?"Westley answered indifferently, "If it were acting, wouldn’t the person I arranged cooperate with me? I made her unhappy before we came here, so it's normal for her to give me the cold shoulder. I brought her here to apologize and make her happy."Jordan couldn’t understand what they were saying and didn’t care. She was looking at the auction booklet.She was drawn to a set of pear blossom jewelry displayed in the catalog.She didn’t know why, but it felt as if there was some kind of connection.If the set wasn’t too expensive, she might try to bid on it.Her entire fortune should be enough, right?Westley’s gaze shifted over and saw her thumb ge

    "I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

    Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

    Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

    "Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

    "He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

    Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”
