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

    They were in the open, while the other party was in the dark. It was impossible to guard against everything.The search for her daughter had been a private affair before Christine was identified. Very few people knew about it, and they were all reliable.It was unclear which link in the chain leaked information, giving the other party an opportunity.Yasmin thought about her attitude towards Charlotte, feeling a pang of anxiety. "If I'm wrong, then my real daughter is very likely Charlotte... right?""Yes," Joanne answered straightforwardly. "Actually, don't you think Charlotte resembles you quite a bit?""Resembles in appearance?""That's one way to put it." Joanne nodded, then shifted her focus. "But the main thing is her attitude. Doesn't she remind you of how you were when you were younger?"Yasmin frowned. "What do you mean?""She's ruthless when it comes to dealing with scumbags."Joanne smiled. "She and Ryan have also cut ties completely."Yasmin disagreed. She seemed

    Christine desperately hoped that Jack would come up with a solution. Even if it was just to delay things for a while.Or...On the other end of the line, Jack's expression froze, and he asked coldly, "What happened?"He sensed that the situation was quite complicated. Christine was rarely this flustered and disoriented.Christine steadied herself, locked the door, and tried to regain her composure to explain the situation clearly. "Yasmin suspects my identity! That's not all..."As she spoke, she shook her head and said in a panic, "It's not just suspicion; she wants to do another paternity test!"Realizing this, she admired the man on the other end of the line immensely. She had thought that everything was foolproof once Yasmin accepted her. It was Jack who reminded her to always stay on guard.Even moving into this villa, he had advised her to install a bug in the study and Yasmin's bedroom to prevent being caught off guard if anything happened.She had only installed the bug

    Regarding this, Jack was even more concerned than she was. Just like two years ago, when Charlotte was safely studying and receiving treatment in Frankes, with no one around who could rival his importance. He didn't have to worry about anyone taking Charlotte away. It was perfect.But he knew that Charlotte would not return.Jack exhaled deeply and rejected the idea. "No.""You must have a way... you definitely do..."Christine knew that Jack was ruthless. If he wanted, Charlotte could disappear!Hearing this, Jack was slightly taken aback. "What are you trying to say?""To, to..." Christine's dark thoughts kept surfacing, but she also knew that Jack had a fondness for Charlotte, that wretched woman. After a long pause, she finally said, "Lock her up! Or find a way to bind her...""Impossible!" Jack's face turned dark, his anger evident. "I warn you, keep your thoughts to yourself. As long as she's in Jeswood, you better ensure her safety. If anything like what happened at the l

    The next morning.In a half-awake, half-dreaming state, I turned over and reached out to touch something extra beside me. No, it wasn't an object. It was a person. I jolted awake and realized I was in someone's embrace, and the owner of the embrace was... Looking at me with soft eyes, as if trying to use up all his tenderness, he asked, "Awake?" His voice was slightly raspy and hoarse. As my consciousness gradually cleared from last night, I felt a bit embarrassed. Then, I reached out and hugged him, snuggling closer into his arms, and boldly declared, "Not awake yet, still want to sleep."This sleep was a deep, restful one I hadn't had in a long time. Very comforting, with no dreams throughout the night. Frank cocked his brows and asked lazily, "Are you a little pig or something?""I’m your little pig." I nuzzled against his chest, the cool, minty scent somewhat invigorating. He chuckled. "Are you calling me a pig as well?""Not at all." I looked up at him and pl

    There was a moment of silence in the air.Jack didn't seem surprised, his face still bearing a gentle smile. "I heard. Congratulations."He then turned to Frank. "Charlotte has endured a lot of hardship. I hope she won't have to suffer any more with you.""Otherwise, as her family, I won't let you off so easily."I expected the situation to be a bit awkward. Although Jack had promised to be just friends from now on, as adults, I could sense whether he had truly moved on or not. Over the past two years, he hadn't brought up emotional topics, but the concerns he showed every day was obvious. He didn't mention it, and I didn't want to force the issue or emphasize anything.Now that there was a chance to clear things up, he didn't show any unusual reaction, which was a relief.Jane waved her fist at Frank. "Count me in, Mr. Smith. Charlotte is my best and only friend. If you bully her, I won't care whether you are!""If I bully her..." Frank looked at me and said. "I'll be the

    Having lived on the lower rungs of society for over twenty years, she knew exactly what kind of people the fans at that level would like.She entered the courtyard for this recording, greeting each of the Jacks one by one. With her identity as Yasmin's daughter, almost everyone who saw her was very warm and welcoming.There were cameras and program directors all over the place. Christine felt a bit dazed but was very well-behaved, presenting herself like a neighbor's daughter in front of the Jacks.She even brought gifts for everyone, including the production team.It was easy to imagine that once the show aired, there would be no shortage of praise for her.It wasn't until she entered her room in the evening, covered the camera with a piece of clothing, and took out her phone to call Jack that her expression turned serious.She didn't know how things were going on his end!Jack sat in the darkness, watching his phone ring incessantly, feeling extremely frustrated.

    That evening, after finishing my shower, I was doing my skincare routine while urging Danny to go to bed.Jane walked in with an incredulous look on her face. "Christine is trending on social media!"I was applying toner and said, "It would be abnormal if she weren't."With Yasmin as her mother, she automatically had massive exposure from the start.Ordinary people didn't know that Christine had previously disappeared. They only thought that Yasmin had kept her protected under her wing for over 20 years, shielding her from public disturbance.Now that she was suddenly on a variety show, curiosity about Christine naturally surged, and many wanted to explore more about her."But the content of this trending topic is really strange!" Jane handed me her phone. "Look at this—what it's saying, about how beautiful and kind she is, calling her a beautiful fool, almost praising Christine to the heavens."“Christine is so warm!”“Christine gaining followers!”“Yasmin's daughter, a new cel

    She could say nothing more.Moreover, even if she said something, it would be useless.Zachary achieved his goal and turned to leave.After the door to the ward closed, Rebecca picked up a piece of yellowing apple to eat.The old lady of the Collins family sighed, “We didn’t raise him in vain.”Rebecca wiped away tears, she still couldn’t bring herself to like Jane.But Zachary was her only son. At this point, there was nothing she could do to stop him.She could only look the other way and let it go.She said to Eric, “Jeswood is too cold. Take me to Clisfield. This is what you’ve promised me.”Spring had already arrived in Jeswood, it wasn’t cold at all.But Eric still immediately arranged for tickets to be booked.There were still several months before Zachary and Jane’s wedding.In the meantime, she could relax and gradually come to terms with things as time passed.Eric looked at the elderly couple. “Mom, Dad, come with us. The weather there is warm year-round.”Zach

    If this were Jane, just a single cough would send him into a panic.Rebecca felt that Zachary now cared more about Jane than her.“Even if Jasper isn’t her biological father, how can you be so sure her real parents are good people? What if...”Zachary finished slicing the apple into small pieces, placed them on a plate, and handed it to his mother.His tone was unhurried. “I can accept anything. As I said before—I will marry no one but her.”Rebecca didn’t take the plate, so Zachary set it aside.The apple, left untouched, began to oxidize and turn brown.Zachary lightly tapped the apple with the fruit knife and said, “There are more than one path in front of me.”Rebecca opened her mouth to speak, but Zachary interrupted her.He pulled out a photo and handed it to her.“The Collins family doesn’t only have me for the official route. There is a sister who can take my place.”Rebecca was stunned. “What sister?”Zachary produced a document. “A recently acknowledged goddaughte

    “I forgive you, I forgive you.” Jane ruffled his hair. “Such juicy gossip is worth forgiving. But I’m warning you, don’t try to trick me again next time.”Zachary raised his hand. “I promise.”Jane was satisfied. She ate her fill, felt sleepy, and went to bed.Zachary tucked her in carefully and planted a kiss on her forehead.“I’m heading to the hospital.”“Okay.”At midnight, Raymond released the results of the paternity test.Originally, not many people were paying attention to Jasper’s situation anymore.After all, so much happens every day, and with Zachary’s maneuvering, the buzz had already died down.But as soon as the paternity test result was revealed, it caused an uproar.“I knew it. With the way he was behaving, how could the child be his? And yet, he dared to make such a fuss.”“All those people defending Jasper should apologize!”“Unbelievable. This scum is still alive and even dared to go online to play the victim. If I ever see him, I’ll make sure to give hi

    Jane felt that Zachary had too many tricks up his sleeve.Moreover, she felt that it was better not to fully trust men.There was no such thing as absolute honesty.Even she couldn’t achieve that herself.Jane leaned back against the sofa, looking into his eyes.Her stare made Zachary feel a chill down his spine. He cleared his throat and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”Jane gave a sarcastic smile.Zachary was rendered speechless.He tactically glanced at his watch and asked, “Are you sleepy?”“Nope.”“Hungry?”“Nope.”Jane raised her hand and patted his face. “Playing tricks on me?”This feeling was like looking at himself.For a moment, Zachary didn’t know how to react.The corners of his lips twitched slightly as he said, “I’m just trying to discuss things with you.”“Oh, okay.” Jane nodded. “I believe you.”He realized he was wrong—he shouldn’t have tried to help Westley.Zachary hugged her, trying to appease her. “He deserves it. From now on, I won’

    Jane found it both infuriating and funny. “Well, he deserved it.”Zachary agreed with her and said, “Westley did try to distance himself from her, but during the years from her university to her career, he kept an eye on her the entire time.Especially because Jordan never dated anyone, he kept wondering whether she truly liked him as a person or if it was because he hadn’t acted cold enough.”“The dramatic part is that when Jordan turned 20, Sir Howard fell gravely ill and insisted that they get married. Back then, Westley saw the excitement and joy in Jordan’s eyes. So, he drafted an agreement that stated they would divorce after Sir Howard passed away. After they registered their marriage, he went to work in another city and didn’t return to the Howard family for three years.”Jane clicked her tongue several times. “His grandfather was gravely ill, and he didn’t even go to see him?”“There were people reporting the situation to him. His grandfather’s illness was a foregone conc

    Zachary curved his lips into a faint smile. “You’re so nosy. Why didn’t you become a journalist? Going into fashion seems like such a waste of talent. Maybe you could have got rid of a lot of scumbags.”Jane slapped him lightly. “That’s not what I want to hear.”Zachary honestly didn’t know much about Tanner’s situation.He wasn’t particularly close to the Greyson family—Westley probably knew more of the details than he did.“All I know is that things didn’t end on a good note. For the specifics, you’d have to ask Westley.”Jane stared at him intently, her gaze unwavering.Her stare finally made Zachary a bit uncomfortable.“What?”Jane crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Are you thinking I’ll go ask Westley? That way, he can use this as leverage to make me help him with Jordan?”Zachary massage his temples. “You do know me pretty well.”Jane lifted her chin proudly. “Of course.”Zachary reached out and hooked her chin lightly with his finger. “It’s not about mak

    Jane turned his face toward her and gave him a quick kiss.Zachary closed his eyes briefly, taking a deep breath to calm himself.“What is this? Are you so happy you want to ‘finish off’ your husband to celebrate?”“Stop talking nonsense.” Jane smacked him lightly on the head. “It’s a joyous day, don’t say such unlucky things.”Zachary grabbed her hand. “Then what are you trying to do?”“Are you happy seeing me suffer?”“Do I look like that kind of person? I’ve been feeling awful because of your morning sickness. You can’t eat, and I can’t help—it makes me anxious.”“How about you fix that smile of yours before saying that?”Jane burst out laughing, collapsing into his arms.Zachary sighed helplessly. “I really can’t win against you.”“If you want to ask something, just ask—no need for all this.”Jane sat up. “You should eat something first.”“No need.”Just hearing the word “eat” made Zachary feel queasy.“I know my limits.”“You have stomach problems.

    "First, let me apologize for keeping this from you for so long."Jane’s curiosity was piqued to its peak. “What is it? Hurry up and tell me.”Zachary wanted to approach the matter gradually, but after giving it some thought, he decided that Jane would likely be more happy than upset about the truth. So, he said it outright.“Jasper isn’t your biological father.”Silence.Jane’s eyes gradually widened, so much so that they seemed about to pop out.She was too shocked to speak.She wanted to ask something, her mouth open, but no sound came out.For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard him.The dark days of her past, the beatings and scoldings, flashed in her mind like a slideshow.For years, she had felt that having a father like Jasper was a stain on her life.On the outside, she put on a tough appearance and claimed she had no heart.But deep down, she was insecure and sensitive.After falling in love with Zachary, she lived in constant fear that her background would
