Chapter 451

Author: Lean
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.

    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

    Yasmin blurted out, "What a coincidence?"Two years ago, Christine had impersonated Charlotte, the eldest daughter of the Shaw family. Christine and Charlotte had the same birthday. They were born in the same hospital. It might be normal if only one or two of these coincidences happened, but all of them coming together was strange. Yasmin began to carefully review the documents, and Joanne spoke up at the right moment, "Yes, I also think... isn't it a bit too coincidental?""It is."The more Yasmin read, the more serious her expression became. Additionally, with Christine's "previous offenses" of impersonating someone else, Yasmin had to be more careful. She loved Christine, of course. She would do anything for her. But that was only if Christine was truly her daughter! Joanne, realizing the gravity of the situation, looked alarmed and raised her voice a bit. "Could it be that Ms. Wilson is actually...""Shush." Yasmin frowned and interrupted, glancing toward the

Jane even gave her a little gift.As for Caleb, neither Jane or Zachary cared if he admitted it or not.They thought Whitney had married Caleb for the sake of business.But just now, the two of them were so intimate, unable to part with each other, and even had a visible kiss mark that couldn't be hidden by a turtleneck.Given this relationship, wasn't it reasonable for Caleb to admit that they were his brother-in-law and sister-in-law?However, Caleb didn't really know them well, and they didn't know his personality either. Naturally, he couldn't just say that he recognized them as his in-laws.As for Westley, everyone knew him well.Besides, Westley had married Jane's younger sister, so he should be recognizing them as well."That’s unnecessary, Mr. Hilton," said Zachary. "Jordan is Jane's sister, both of them are from the Jackson family, though they've been separated for years due to some unfortunate circumstanc

    "Since Mr. Hilton spoils his wife so much, how about you drink this wine for Whitney instead?"Caleb curved his lips into a smile, picked up his glass, and said, "You’re not going to double the amount if I drink for her, right, Mrs. Smith?"Before Charlotte could speak, Frank intervened.He placed one hand on Charlotte's shoulder, gently swirled his wine glass with the other, his posture relaxed and casual."Since Mr. Hilton is so interested, how can I not satisfy your requests on my turf?"He even brought Zachary into it. "Today is your big day, it's your stage, so set an example by taking the first round."Zachary glanced at him indifferently. He was pretending to be drunk today, but Frank hadn’t gone easy on him.He had originally planned to use water for his drinks, but Frank had switched it back to real alcohol.Now, he was starting trouble again."Oh!" Frank suddenly seemed to remember something. "I forgot, Mr. Collins drank a lot at lunch. I guess the alcohol in his sto

    No one had called for dinner yet.She knew that Zachary and Jane were getting married today, so they might be staying in the room for a while.Caleb and Whitney were the ones they thought would be spending time together.So, she first knocked on Charlotte's room.She figured that they wouldn't necessarily want to spend time together right now.But she was wrong.No one answered Charlotte's door.However, Jane sent her a message saying she would get up soon.Then Charlotte also spoke up in their group chat.That was when she came to call Whitney.She guessed that the two should have finished their intimate act by now...Whitney, ignoring the discomfort in her body, used both hands and feet to escape from Caleb's embrace.She first responded to Jordan at the door and then rushed into the bathroom.Caleb came in shortly after.When his bare back pressed against her, Whitney was startled. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"Caleb held her and chuckled. "Honey, have you eve

    Westley patted her on the head. "You're asking me about this because you want to help Mandy, or..."Mandy and Jordan hadn't been in touch much over the past few years, but before university, they had a pretty good relationship.When Mandy ran into trouble and went to the north, Jordan was furious.It took him several days to calm her down.But then, unexpectedly, his relationship with her had also fallen apart.Looking back now, he wondered if it was because Carter always treated him and maintained his health, but in doing so, perhaps he had also pushed the love out of his own life.Jordan shook her head. "I won’t interfere with other people’s relationships. I'm just asking out of curiosity."Westley didn't expect that but still told her about the situation."Caleb did indeed relent. He will give Carter a chance to meet with Mandy. And this was something, Zachary, Frank, and I, were all aware of but haven't spoken about it openly. Zachary is pretending to be drunk."Jordan had

    Caleb and Zachary had a drink and then left with Whitney.Carter didn't even have time to drink with Zachary and hurriedly followed them.At that moment, Zachary's and the others were here to watch the show.But they didn't expect, when they turned the corner, to see Caleb pinning Whitney against the wall, kissing her.The man's brows and eyes were full of flirtatious charm, and he blocked Whitney's profile, glancing over.He asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you seen a married couple kiss?"There was no sign of Carter anywhere.They didn't want to interrupt the couple's private moment, so Westley and Frank escorted Zachary to his room, then went back to their own rooms with their wives.Jane pretended to wipe Zachary's face and was about to leave.But Zachary grabbed her and pulled her into the bed."Mr. Collins, you're getting more and more skilled at pretending to be drunk."Zachary opened his eyes and kissed her forehead.His hoarse voice carried a hint of weakness."Honey

    Back then, when Rebecca caused such a scene, it was like she was a clown.And they hadn't suspected anything. Nathan and Jane looked very similar, and what Nathan said was very reasonable. The Jackson family had suffered a major blow, so they were certainly more meticulous about such matters.They wouldn't make such mistakes.The room was in an uproar, no one expected the situation to reverse like this.The reporters didn't even eat, quickly grabbing their cameras, sending out messages, and fighting for the headline.Nathan didn't say much more, handing the microphone to the emcee before walking off the stage.The emcee, amid the fading music, announced in a loud voice, "The ceremony is complete—"Petals rained down from above.Zachary lowered his head and kissed Jane, asking her, "Are you satisfied?"Jane glared at him, "Are you trying to get your mom killed from a heart attack for me?""That won't happen," replied Zachary. "I know what I'm doing. After all, she made a mista

    But he didn't explain. Instead, he asked, "You're really cold-hearted. Your brother's crying like that, and you can't even manage to squeeze out a tear?"Whitney had always been emotionally detached.She did have some emotions stirring inside, but shedding tears was very difficult for her.She had never cried since she was little.Because crying meant getting punished.But before she could say anything, she heard Caleb whisper something flirtatious into her ear.She could remain emotionless and composed about almost everything.But she simply couldn't resist Caleb's teasing. The private things he said to her, especially in public, always caught her off guard.She cared about her image.Unlike him, a charming young man with plenty of experience in the art of flirting, who could easily say whatever he wanted in any setting.She didn't know how to rebut him and could only remain silent, her gaze fixed on the stage.She was more curious about why Nathan was getting up to speak.

    The emcee announced that it was time for the couple to kiss. Jordan quickly went up to prepare the rings, not noticing the change in Westley's expression.She was then busy with handing over the rings.Now her task was complete.Westley took her to the main table and made her drink some water.The dishes began to come out one after another, and everyone started eating.But Rebecca wanted to leave.Frank stopped her. "Nathan hasn't spoken yet. Godmother, if you leave now, it's too early. You've come all the way here, just stay a little longer."Rebecca didn't understand. "What is Nathan going to say?"Frank replied, "You'll find out when you listen in."Rebecca wanted to leave because she didn't want to hear the sweet words that Zachary was going to say to Jane on the stage.Jane hadn't even shed a tear, but Zachary, a grown man, was crying uncontrollably.She couldn't bear to face it.But it was obvious that Frank didn't want her to leave, so she couldn't.The two of them

    Jane understood the reasoning, but as a woman, hearing about Mandy's experiences truly made her feel heartbroken.She said with a sigh, "Frank thinks the same way, right?"Charlotte nodded. "Yes, Frank won't completely offend Carter. Who knows if people will remain safe and healthy for the next few decades?"Jane, however, thought of someone. "Tanner.""We don't know much about Tanner, and we're not sure how much she can help. By the way, it was Carter who performed Zachary's mother's surgery."Charlotte pondered for a moment. "Zachary should also follow Frank's lead, stepping down a little. After all, it was the Hilton family who acted, and it has nothing to do with him. You can't blame him for it."Jane, if she hadn't already done her hair, would have scratched her head.Her mind was about to explode."Jane, I think we should just go with the flow. When it comes to feelings, it's hard for outsiders to interfere. Look at me and Westley, even as your own sister, you couldn't ch
