Chapter 459

Author: Lean
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. But Chris

    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

    When I opened the door, there was a stranger standing outside.The man was dressed in a well-tailored suit vest, with a tall and upright posture, and a dark overcoat draped over his arm. He appeared to be in his thirties, with a dignified and inscrutable demeanor.He was like an elder.I didn't recognize this person and was momentarily confused. "Hello, who are you looking for?""Hello." He nodded slightly. "I'm looking for Daniel.""Daniel?"My brain briefly froze, then I realized and asked with a smile, "Is it Danny?""Yes.""And you are...?""I'm his father, Alex Jackson.""I see."His formal way of speaking made me quickly recall the few words Danny had used to introduce his father—an old-fashioned gentleman.Alex didn't rudely look inside the house but instead looked directly at me. "Today is the Jackson family's family dinner. I've come to pick him up."As far as I knew, the Jackson family was the most low-key but also the most intricate among the three great familie

    Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

    "But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

    Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

    But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

    Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

    Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

    Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

    "Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

    Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."
