Chapter 461

Author: Lean
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

    Danny, listening from the side, pressed his pink lips together slightly to suppress his excitement.‘Daddy is going to find Mommy!’ he exclaimed inwardly.As long as Daddy works hard enough, no one else could be his stepfather.At the variety show recording site.The production team had rented fields from local villagers in advance, which included plots for vegetables and corn.After lunch, the program director handed out the task card—harvesting corn.The time was tight, and the task was heavy.It required the guests to work together.Christine looked bewildered and turned to Scarlet, whispering, "Scarlet, can I not go?"The corn fields were not close to the living quarters.She was afraid someone might take the opportunity to enter her room.Scarlet was a veteran in the entertainment industry, skilled in navigating social relationships. With just a few words, she could have Christine stay behind without anyone questioning it.Unexpectedly, Scarlet simply patted her should

"Alright, go ahead, be careful on the road.""Okay, you take care and rest more, Jane," said Jordan, putting on her bag."Got it." Jane saw her off.Charlotte said, "I'll head back, I'll take her to the airport."She already knew everything.Jordan was sick, she had said herself she wasn't working.No matter how urgent the job, no matter how close they were as friends, there would always be a solution. There wasn't just one photographer in this world.Although Jordan's talent was unmatched by most people, it was too coincidental.After Zachary finished his call on the balcony, Jordan was about to fly abroad for a shoot.It was hard not to associate this with his influence.She didn't want to stay here and be disliked, so she left.She gave them space.Jane didn't ask anything,

    "I won't participate in the photoshoot. Jordan, come here, I'll watch from the side."Jordan grabbed a chair for Jane, "Jane, let's start by taking photos whilst sitting down."She was about to help Jane when suddenly a cold gust of wind blew past.Someone else had already sat Jane down before her."Be careful."Jane pushed him away. "Go do what you have to. We sisters are having fun. Don't interrupt."Zachary's expression darkened slightly. "I'm not busy..."Jane gave a sarcastic smile. "I want to hang out with my friends. Is that okay, hubby?"Zachary turned and left, constantly looking back as he walked to the balcony.Jordan gave a thumbs up. "You've got the husband under control."Jane pushed some stray hair behind her ear and said proudly, "Oh, stop it."Jordan and Charlotte exchanged a glance and both smiled.The photoshoot proceeded steadily.On the balcony, Zachary called Westley."You're really useless, can't even keep your own wife."Westley was confused, "Wha

    "What is it?" Jane urged. "But I won't listen to anything about Westley."Wasn't this just walking straight into a trap?Charlotte changed her approach. "I had Frank go to Nelana. I know that Jordan went to find Oliver."Jane's eyes shifted. "What I was going to tell you was about Jordan and Oliver's gossip, but it turns out you already knew."Charlotte entered the study with her. "If you don't want to hear about Westley, then tell me what you know."In the end, Jane still asked, "Is he really sick?"Charlotte nodded. "He had a surgery. They said there was a tumor in his kidney."Jane couldn't feel any sympathy for Westley, "He treated her so badly that he’s even punished by God."Charlotte didn't deny it, but asked, "Which one do you want to wear?""I actually want to wear them all, but Zachary won't let me.""It won't hurt to wait a couple of days. Once you're stable or after you give birth, you can still wear them."Jane sighed. "He's been overly cautious lately, but I'm

    Jordan felt uneasy and said cautiously, "There's nothing. I really don't have any impure thoughts about Oliver.""Then that means you don't like him." Jane patted her head. "It's okay. We can still meet a soulmate in the future, right? Don't worry."Jordan wasn't worried about this. What concerned her was the upcoming photoshoot. Jane would be changing clothes back and forth, and she was sure that Zachary would use his sharp, cold gaze to slice her into pieces."So, this time, Jane, just wear one outfit. I'll take more pictures for you. When your belly gets bigger, we'll take maternity photos."Jane agreed, and Jordan secretly sighed in relief."I'll go get changed first."Jordan nodded, about to follow her in, when Zachary stopped her."She’s my wife, I'll handle it. No need to trouble yourself."‘We’re both women, what's there that can't be seen? Aren't we all the same?’She guessed that he was doing this on purpose because she had made Jane excited earlier.Jordan silently

    Although Zachary wasn’t even looking at Jordan, the latter could still feel the coldness in his eyes.He was angry with her, blaming her for making Jane so emotional."Jane, I suddenly remembered, I have something to do, so I’ve got to go now."Jordan abruptly stood up, but in her haste, a wave of dizziness made her sit back down.It was strange. When she was at Oliver's house earlier, she felt the temperature had dropped a little.Why did she now feel light-headed?"Sit still and don't move."Jane pulled a blanket over her and urged Zachary, "Tell the doctor to hurry."Zachary could only stand up and make a phone call.Just as he picked up his phone, the doorbell rang.He opened the door and let the doctor in.The doctor asked, "Mr. Collins, what symptoms is Mrs. Collins experiencing?""It's not her." Zachary's voice was cold. "Go inside and take a look."The doctor walked in and saw a different girl with an unfamiliar face.He had seen Jane before, so he knew that this

    "Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Collins is pregnant now. Because her condition is unstable, the doctor told her not to worry too much or think too much. So, let’s not trouble her too much. Mr. Collins said that as long as you don't mention your matter with Mr. Howard to Mrs. Collins, he can help you with the divorce. He can put in as much effort as you want."Jordan was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.She hadn't planned to say anything about her situation with Westley.They were already about to file for divorce, and there was nothing to talk about.She was here because of Oliver...However, she still responded, "Please tell Mr. Collins that he has nothing to worry about."It was enough for him to understand.Roy didn't say more.Jane was already waiting at the door.She kept checking her watch.She asked Zachary, "Why is Roy so slow? Next time, don't let him pick her up."Zachary peeled a grape and fed it to her one by one.Hearing this, he gently replied, "You can make the

    Miranda didn't give him any face, "What's the use of your promise to me? You're not trying to chase me."Westley's breathing became heavy for a moment, and he couldn't be bothered to say anything.He was afraid he would be driven to the edge.However, Miranda didn't plan to stop. "Westley, a broken mirror is hard to mend. Even if you manage to glue the pieces together, the cracks will always remain.""Some things cannot be repaired.""When the heart has been broken, it's truly broken."Westley pressed his lips tightly together, "Mom, you once said that you didn’t want anyone else to be your daughter-in-law except Jordan."Miranda had said that.Jordan was someone she had watched grow up.She didn't have the chance to have a daughter, so she treated Jordan like her own.When she saw that the young girl had feelings for Westley, she was extremely happy.That way, Jordan would forever be part of the family.But unfortunately, her son didn't live up to expectations."No one th

    At the moment, she had no work, and she wasn't familiar with Hulerwood.Even Nelana, which she was familiar with, didn't feel like a place she wanted to go back to.So, she wandered aimlessly.Buck followed her, neither too close nor too far.At the right time, he reported Jordan's situation to Westley.Jordan walked for a while and found a place to eat some spaghetti bolognese.After sitting by the roadside for a bit, she flew to Jeswood.At this time of year, the rare animals she could photograph had already been captured.Other than the red carpet shoot that Oliver mentioned, there were no other activities in the past few days.If she asked in the work group, Oliver would definitely know.Recently, she didn't want to be associated with him.She needed some time to calm down.Just in time, Jane said she wanted to shoot clothes for the Charlotte Jewelry.She could also chat with Jane to avoid getting stuck in a loop.Buck followed Jordan to the airport and guessed she wa

    She couldn't settle down.Carter came to check on his post-surgery condition.Seeing him, it seemed he wouldn't need psychological treatment anymore.After recording his physical condition, Carter turned and left.It was Westley who stopped him, saying, "Why aren’t you asking me anything?"Carter had known him for many years.But he rarely asked about his private life.It was only when he helped him with his psychological issues that he learned about his relationship with Jordan.Originally, he didn't like gossip."I'm busy," Carter replied coldly, then started to walk away.Westley found him boring. "With a personality like yours, no wonder your non-blood-related sister doesn't like you."Carter stopped walking but still had his back to Westley.Westley waited for a while, hearing no response, and continued, "As a doctor, you face death almost every day.
