Chapter 460

Author: Lean
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

    Danny jumped up excitedly, gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, and said, "Aunt is the best!"Then he dashed towards the elevator and into his father's embrace.Alex carried the little one over and handed me back my phone, nodding politely. "I've already explained everything to Alana. I'll take Daniel with me now.""Aunt! I’ve got to go!" Danny blew me a kiss and said cutely, "But don't worry. I will be back before dark."‘You’re coming back?’I looked at him in surprise. Alex also furrowed his brows slightly, though he didn't say anything.I patted Danny's head. "Listen to your parents.""Okay!"The little one nodded vigorously."Ms. Wilson, we're leaving now. Sorry for the trouble," said Alex."It's... it's fine!"For some reason, Alex gave me a strong impression of an elder. Not just because of his demeanor, but there was an indescribable feeling about him.Alex carried the little one into the elevator, his tone calm. "You're not staying at home tonight, and you still want

    At noon, only Whitney admitted that Jane was her sister-in-law. 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
