Although I had thought about it, I still felt uneasy.

Would finding her really be the same as I imagined? She might have already started a family, had children, and be living a happy life. My appearance might just be a stone disturbing her stable life.

Moreover, with the silver pendant lost two years ago, finding her would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

Unexpectedly, Yasmin said, "I can help you, whether it's through public searches or private inquiries. It's up to you how you want to proceed."

I was surprised. "Really?"

"Of course." Yasmin nodded, glanced at Christine, who was juicing in the kitchen, with a gentle and obviously maternal gaze. "If someone had been willing to help Christine in the past, perhaps I could have recognized her sooner."

"You and Christine..." I hesitated slightly. "Were you separated before?"

If that were the case...

I had to wonder if Christine's true identity was really Yasmin's daughter. Two years ago, she had deceive

    Even if I said more, she might still choose not to believe me and doubt Christine, her "biological daughter".I placed the juice on the coffee table, picked up my bag, and said, "Ms. Jackson, sorry to disturb you today."After Christine left the living room, Yasmin suddenly relaxed. The hatred in her heart surged again. However, as she calmed down, she felt something was off. She picked up her phone and called Joanne."Joanne, see if you can find out if there were any grievances between Christine and Charlotte two years ago."‘From the way Charlotte acted earlier, it didn't seem like she just wanted to chat. It seemed more like a reminder of something.’"Sure!" said Joanne. She then asked curiously, "What's going on? Why the sudden need to look into this matter?""I'm not sure yet."Yasmin couldn't explain it and continued, "Also, find out when Charlotte's birthday is."She couldn't make sense of the connections at the moment. But her intuition told her to investigate.T

    Unexpectedly, Frank's expression remained unchanged, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened into a smirk as he mocked, "Are you so sure that Ryan will cooperate with you?""He might not want to cooperate with me." Lucas was confident. "But if he does cooperate, it would help me deal with you, my rival."Ryan wouldn't even need to do anything himself.As long as he gave Lucas a contract, Lucas would act as Ryan's pawn, making Frank back down step by step.Lucas thought that the SZ Technology, no matter how impressive, had only emerged in the past two years and was far behind the RF Group.Frank sneered. "Don't get ahead of yourself. If you keep boasting, you might end up with no retreat and have to swallow your words.""What do you mean?""I have some news that hasn't been announced yet."Frank sat on the sofa, leisurely watching the Smith family father and son, and said, "the SZ Technology and the RF Group have just signed a strategic cooperation agreement."He cros

    The living room remained silent. Although Luke had left, Frank was still around.The Smith family had long been wary of him, and with the current situation, their apprehension only grew.Madam Smith gave Frank a reproachful look. "You unruly child, aren’t you going to see your grandfather? He's been looking forward to your return!"Since Sir Smith's heart attack two years ago, his health had deteriorated significantly. He rarely made appearances at family dinners. Knowing that Frank might come back today, Madam Smith and Mrs. Smith had kept this information from Sir Smith, fearing he might clash with Luke again. That was why Sir Smith hadn't attended the family dinner.Frank's previous hostility had vanished,. He quickly stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go now."Megan, who had been standing aside, immediately said, "Frank, I'll go with you."In the study of the Smith family's residence.As soon as Luke entered, he kicked Lucas away!He was filled with frustration. "Wha

    The atmosphere was tense.Anyone with a keen eye could see that Luke was grinding his teeth in frustration!However, everyone present was aware that the father and son had long been at odds.The younger generation showed no respect for the elder, and the elder showed no love for the younger. It was a family trait, perhaps a matter of genetic disposition.As Madam Smith would put it, this was called "everyone had their own kryptonite."Since Luke, as the only son of the Smith family, was careless with his private life, he shouldn't be surprised if Frank didn't take him seriously.Madam Smith was actually pleased to see Frank suppressing his father.Just as everyone thought Luke might erupt in anger, he approached Frank, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You rascal, fine, I'm asking you as a favor to clean up this mess for your brother.""Brother?" Frank sneered, his eyes cold, and glanced towards Mrs. Smith. "Mom, when did you give birth to a brother for me?"

    Jelaston, the RF Group.Having just finished an urgent meeting, Ryan walked out of the conference room.Gary hurriedly followed, reporting, "That Smith family illegitimate son just called to confirm the news about our cooperation with SZ Technology.""Okay."Ryan didn't seem to care, striding towards his office.It was just another round of internal strife within the Smith family. The real question was whether Frank had the capability to decisively defeat his opponents this time.Gary was somewhat puzzled. "Why are we cooperating with SZ Technology at this crucial moment?"Publicly, the RF Group indeed needed SZ Technology's patented technology, but there was no need to collaborate at this particular time.Privately, since I had run off with Frank, why was the president still helping his rival?Ryan tugged at his tie and sat down as he turned to look at Gary. "Do you really think that if I don't cooperate with him, he won't be able to fight them off?"Lucas had ambition but l

    "Felix?" I frowned. "I'm not Mrs. Frost, and I don't know you. Please step aside.""Do you know Mr. Frost then?"Felix didn't seem to have any ill intent. His tone even had a hint of ingratiation as he explained, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."I took a step back, looking at him in confusion. "So who are you...?"From his words, it seemed like he was quite familiar with Ryan. But what he wanted from me was unclear.Felix took on a sympathetic tone. "Mrs. Frost, I know you and Mr. Frost just divorced not long ago, but don't you think it's a bit of a pity?""Huh?" I looked at him and sneered. "Are you bored or something?"Felix chuckled awkwardly. "Please don't be angry. I saw Mr. Frost looking lost and disheartened over you the other day. I'm just afraid you might miss out on such a good man.""Did he send you?" I asked.Ryan wouldn't use such an indirect approach.Felix quickly shook his head. "Of course not. It's just... it's been a while since the divorce. No matter the reas

    On the way back to Jelaston.Felix found it hilarious how I had completely disregarded him earlier. Since the easy way didn't work, he decided to use a harder approach. He didn't believe he couldn't handle a single woman. ‘As long as Charlotte went back to Ryan, everything would be settled. Ryan would be so overwhelmed with joy at having her back that he wouldn't care about the methods used to achieve it.’‘As for Frank, it was unlikely he would fall out with Ryan over a woman. The Smith family's heir was just passing time with a woman.’ Felix had seen enough of these kinds of situations to believe that Frank wasn’t serious about me.With these thoughts in mind, Felix crossed his legs and made a phone call. "Hello, it's me. Whatever method you use... fuck!"The car suddenly came to a sharp stop. Sitting in the back seat and too lazy to fasten his seatbelt, he was thrown forward into the seat in front of him due to the momentum!It hurt so much that he cursed out loud!The leg

    There was nothing else. And all of this was only related to Charlotte. Besides that, there was no other way to provoke Frank. However, Felix, who had always maintained a facade of stability while enjoying a good time outside, was unwilling to believe that Frank's drastic actions were all for Charlotte! The words Felix had said to Charlotte were all about persuading her to reconcile with Ryan. While he had kept this from Ryan, he had still acted under Ryan's name. Outsiders would naturally associate him with Ryan. Would Frank really risk offending Ryan over this?Alan looked at him indifferently. "Frank asked me to tell you, if you provoke him again, it won't be as simple as breaking a leg."With that, Alan turned to leave.Felix, still shocked, quickly asked, "May I ask... what is Ms. Wilson's relationship with Mr. Smith?" He needed to understand how badly he had offended Frank today. If it was just about standing up for a lover, then if he could humble himself for a w

    Knock knock—There was a knock at the door.Zachary stood up to open it.Raymond handed him a chicken pizza.He sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and, gathering some courage, she asked, "Sir, you didn’t have anything for dinner. Should I have the hotel bring something over?"Zachary nodded and mentioned a few dishes.Raymond agreed and went to instruct the hotel.He happened to run into Ross on his way back and they chatted."I have no idea what Miss Greenwood might want. Mr. Collins doesn’t even know what he likes to eat himself, but he remembers what she likes."Ross, eating a sandwich, said, "Doesn’t Mr. Collins like roast chicken?"He remembered that when Miss Greenwood brought food to the Mr. Collins’s house last time, she had mentioned it.Raymond shot him a look. "You’re a blockhead. That’s what Miss Greenwood likes. Now, the things that Mr. Collins like are because they’re what Miss Greenwood likes."Ross blinked. "Oh."Raymond was rendered speechless.

    Jane said, "This is not something you should be doing.""I caused the injury, so I should be the one to handle it.""I'll do it myself!"Zachary held her hands, "You can't see the injury, you have long nails as well. What if you hurt yourself again? I think I should apply the medicine."Jane felt helpless."Zachary, I’ll just ask you one thing, can you understand what I’m saying?""I’ve already ordered pizza. It’ll be delivered soon."‘As expected, he doesn’t understand what I said,’ thought Jane.Jane was no match for Zachary in terms of strength or words, so she ended up crying.Zachary stopped.Jane immediately broke free from his hands and sat on the other side of the bed."Do you only feel happy when you see me in pain?"Zachary pursed his lips. "No.""Then why do you insist on forcing me to do things I don't want to do? I’m a person, not some item that you can do whatever you want to.""Is that how you see me?" Zachary looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly. "I l

    "I was just handling some matters, but I can't tell you. Please understand."Jane seemed to believe him and nodded. "I see."Raymond also nodded. "That's right."Jane smiled. "You were handling matters, but what about the others?""They also have their own matters to deal with.""So..." Jane’s gaze suddenly became sharp. "You all went off to work, but there's no one guarding the hotel entrance? Aren’t you worried that while he’s in bed with me, his enemies might come and kill him? After all, the bed is when a man is most vulnerable. You’re a man, so you should understand that, right?"For a moment, Raymond seemed distracted, as if he had seen his Mr. Collins casually asking him what mistake he had made.Then, with a cold tone, he would be sent off to Afrealia, just like Roy.The more you say, the more mistakes you make. He stopped explaining and simply said."Miss Greenwood, it’s not safe outside. You should stay in the hotel and wait for Mr. Collins."Jane didn’t believe the

    He placed the pillow behind her waist and asked gently, "What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it."Jane glared at him and said, "Get out!"Zachary took her hand and said, "There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me."Jane pulled her hand back and replied coldly, "You’re really sick.""Yes, and you’re the reason I”m sick."Jane raised her hand, intending to hit him. "Get out!"Zachary grabbed her wrist and smiled.Jane felt that he was seriously ill and decided it was better to just leave.But as soon as she lifted the blanket, a cold wind blew, and she quickly pulled it back up."Turn around!"Her teeth were clenched in anger, wishing she could bite him.Zachary's gaze slid over her body. "What are you hiding?""I..."Jane covered his mouth. "Don’t be such a pervert."Zachary held her hand. "The banquet tomorrow has to do with the purpose of your trip. Are you really not going?""How do you know what I came here for?"Zachary didn’t answer, just looked at he

    Annie saw the red marks on his neck as he moved.There was also a bite mark on his Adam's apple.Both marks told her of the wildness he had shared with Jane just moments ago.The thing she feared most had happened."And not even a day apart," Zachary said again, his voice was cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine.Annie met his sharp gaze, instinctively taking a step back.But then she felt it was wrong and moved forward to stand in front of him."What are you saying? I don’t understand," she said, reaching out to grab his arm.Zachary turned sideways to avoid her, and Ross immediately restrained Annie, kicking her in the knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground."Zachary!"Annie had never been so humiliated before.Since childhood, everyone had always revolved around her.She was given everything she wanted.Without speaking, people would rush to her, handing her things that were close to her heart.Zachary was no different, he had been delivered to her by her

    "I had wanted to repay you before, but you refused. Turns out, you were saving it for such a situation. Zachary, is it fun to fool me around?"Zachary lifted his head, and his dark eyes were filled with deep desire.He had been restraining himself, and the veins on his arm were bulging.But this time, he wanted to ask her for a favor."Am I really so unworthy in your eyes?"It wasn’t that he was completely unacceptable, but after all, he had previously forced her against her will."You can’t have lost contact with your subordinates.""Nelana isn’t my turf. There are people here who don’t want me here."As for his business matters, Jane didn’t want to know or analyze anything.She simply said, "Anyway, I’m not suited to help you solve the current problem. If you want, you can get some cold water, and I’ll go buy some medicine for you."The corners of Zachary’s eyes drooped slightly, and he looked almost pitiful."Is it really that hard to help me?"Jane nodded. "I think we’r

    Before Jane finished speaking, she watched as Zachary slowly stood up on his own.But then he suddenly leaned towards her.She quickly held him up.Zachary rested his head on her shoulder, his breath hot and heavy against her neck, so hot it felt alarming."Wait, weren't the people around you supposed to be sticking with you at all times? How did you end up like this, all alone?"She heard the man's voice, weak and faint."Take me back to the hotel..."Jane was really at her wit's end.He didn't even tell her the name of the hotel. How was she supposed to know where to take him?In the end, with no other choice, she reached into his pocket to find his phone.She searched both side pockets of his pants, but there was no phone.He was only wearing a white shirt, no coat.That meant his phone wasn't on him.No wonder he hadn't contacted his subordinates.But that didn't make sense either—his subordinates were supposed to be with him at all times.Before she could figure it

    "People are really into these things now. I often see them on live streams," said Jane.Dominic poured her a cup of barley tea. "The houses people want aren’t just any ordinary houses."Jane knew buying a house wasn't easy. It had taken her some time to secure her little place.If it weren't for Charlotte helping her out, she probably wouldn't have gotten it so quickly."Don’t worry. If I like what I see this time, when I go back and combine it with our brand, we'll promote it. You’ll be able to make money and buy a house.""That sounds good. I know how influential your brand is."The two of them chatted happily in the private room.In the room next door, however, the atmosphere was cold and tense.Annie, seemingly unaware, picked up some food for Zachary and even peeled an apple for him."I grew up in Nelana. I have lung issues, so I’m not really suited to Jeswood’s weather.""This restaurant has been around for almost 100 years. It’s a Nelana specialty. Try this, the apples

    At the hospital.After confirming that everything was fine, Zachary immediately went to the airport.Frank glanced at the time. "Leaving overnight?"Zachary nodded, a look of exhaustion between his brows.Frank took Charlotte and left the hospital with him, only to see two cars.He asked, "Is Annie going with you?"Zachary nodded again.Frank was confused. "What kind of game is this?""Let's go."Zachary didn't answer, opened the car door, and bent down to sit inside.After the two cars drove off, Charlotte asked, "Last night, did you interfere too much?"Frank touched his chin. "I shouldn't have...""Shouldn't have what?""Can't I tell who he likes?"The two of them went home to pack and then went to their respective companies.Charlotte noticed that Jane's dark circles under her eyes couldn't even be covered by foundation. She asked, "Did you go clubbing last night?"Jane shook her head. "I couldn't sleep, maybe the jet lag still hasn't passed."Charlotte immediately
