Chapter 464

Author: Lean
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

    After she got out of the car, I drove to SZ Technology.It was very close. I arrived in just a few minutes.After exiting the elevator, I walked to the front desk. "Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Smith.""Do you have an appointment?""No."I smiled, not wanting to put her in a difficult position, and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll call him."As I turned to take out my phone to call Frank, a woman's voice spoke up, "What's going on?"At the front desk, "Paulina, she says she's here to see Mr. Smith but doesn't have an appointment.""Here to see Mr. Smith?"The woman's voice held a hint of confusion. When I turned to look at her, I caught a fleeting emotion in her eyes that was too quick to discern. "Who are you? I know everyone Mr. Smith is close with, but I've never seen you before."Her words were a bit off-putting.So, I cooled my tone and replied coldly, "I'm Charlotte. Do you need to personally meet everyone Mr. Smith is close with to verify their identity?""No, you've

    I nodded. "Yes.""I see."Frank's voice paused slightly, then he said with a hint of amusement, "Should I come pick you up?"I was still a bit annoyed, but hearing this, my irritation faded away. "No need. I drove here myself. But I need to check with Jane first. I might have to visit the store before coming to find you."Just as I finished speaking, Jane's call came in. I quickly told Frank, "I'll talk to you later. I need to take Jane's call."After answering the call, Jane's cheerful voice came through. "Charlotte, are you on your way?"I smiled. "I'm setting off."She teased with a grin, "Why don't you stay a bit longer with your man and enjoy some time together?"I laughed. "What's the matter?"Jane sighed. "The renovation company that just arrived isn't very good. I've scheduled another one. You'll just be bored waiting around.""Okay. Then... sorry for the trouble.""Trouble? My salary and shares are enough to make others envious." Jane finished with a laugh, but then

    Zachary's awkwardness lasted only for a moment. Soon, he regained his composure, showing no emotion. "Yeah, I came with Charlie to take a look."Jane, dressed in a red dress that made her porcelain skin stand out, lazily glanced outside. "Where's Charlie?"Since that night when she celebrated Frank's birthday, Charlie had taken to sending her WhatsApp messages frequently. “Do you like this handbag? ““Is this necklace pretty?”“Want to go out for a drink?”It was obvious what he meant, and Jane, who wasn’t a naive girl, understood his intentions immediately."Jane." Zachary, who usually kept to himself, pointed out, "Charlie is interested in you, but he's not right for you."Upon hearing this, Jane cocked her brows in surprise. The phrase "he's not right for you" was different from "you're not right for him." While it sounded similar at first, it had a different essence, and it didn't carry the condescension typical of wealthy people.She couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't it a

    Westley waited for a moment, and after Jane and Zachary went inside, a few seconds later, Jordan ran out.She waved at him. "Westley!"Westley glanced at Nathan, then picked up the gifts and went inside."Hurry up and come inside. It’s cold outside."Jordan reached out to help him with the things, but he refused."I can handle it, it's heavy. You have grease on your hands too."Jordan wiped off the snowflakes on his shoulder. "Have you been waiting for a while?"Westley nodded. "Nathan is making things right for you two. Giving a little warning."Jordan glanced back secretly, asking softly, "What did he do to trouble you?""It's fine." Westley smiled slightly. "Just stood outside a bit longer."Jordan nodded and handed him his slippers.Nathan was behind them, watching the pair of them, the corner of his lips twitching.No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.Zachary had entered a few seconds before Westley, and he was already blending in well with the members of

    Because the memorial was rushed, some of the gifts couldn't be bought straightaway.Aunt Orianna had a lot to say, but she didn't rush it. She allowed them to get some rest firstShe went to prepare for the evening's "big meal" with Aunt Emily.Jordan wanted to sleep with Jane.The two of them lay down in bed.They still felt a bit dazed."I really didn't expect we'd be sisters," said Jordan. "I didn't expect we'd be part of the Jackson family in Impelia. I didn’t expect us to have such a strong background."Jane felt even more moved than Jordan.After all, her childhood had been so tough that sometimes she couldn't even see a future.She never imagined that her future self would be a rich heiress!It felt so surreal.They did get up early today, and hadn't slept well last night.After chatting for a while, they both fell asleep.When they woke up, it was almost time for dinner.They rushed to wash up and go downstairs, seeing everyone busy, they asked, "Why didn't you wa

    Aunt Orianna twirled her big wavy curls and proudly lifted her chin, saying, "Well, I'm unlucky in love and have inherited so many estates. Later, I thought, I have more money than I can spend, so it's better not to bring harm to others. Having so many lives on my hands isn't good either. You guys agree, right?"Jane and Jordan never expected Aunt Orianna to be such an interesting person.They were shocked for a moment."Well, Aunt Orianna, you're very kind," Jane commented.Jordan didn't know what to say, so she gave her a thumbs up.Aunt Orianna held their hands and said, "I was young and just wanted to have fun back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost you two. I'm sorry.""Please don't say that." During dinner earlier, Jane had already sensed that although the members of the Jackson family were talking about joyful topics and seemed very concerned about them, there was still a lot unsaid.They hesitated, holding back many words.Now that they were alone, the atmosphere shi

    Charlotte had left first and reminded Jane.They were going back to the Jackson family today to reunite with the family.However, there were so many issues between them and the Jackson family, which was why Charlotte left them space to adjust.Once they had naturally integrated with the Jackson family, she would come back to meet the family and have a meal together.Therefore, Jane didn't bring Zachary with her, and Jordan followed her example.As she expected, the Jackson family didn't ask about the two of them. Although the atmosphere was fine, they talked about the Jackson family matters and asked about their lives over the past few years.It was likely that Nathan had mentioned it beforehand, so they didn't bring up their marriage."Tonight, let's have Zachary and Westley come over. We'll introduce them to Grandpa and the others," Jane said to Nathan.Nathan nodded. "Aunt Emily's husband will be back tonight too.""It’s a gathering of the son-in-laws."Jane smile. "Looks

    "Go ahead."Jane wiped his tears and said slowly, "To be honest, I can't say I've completely let go, but seeing you and hearing these words from you, I've decided to let go. Please don't bring this up again in the future. Let's live well from now on, okay?"Calvin nodded repeatedly. "I'll listen to you.""Then let's eat. I'm hungry.""Okay, okay."Nathan knew that when Jane spoke, Calvin would definitely listen.Once seated, Nathan introduced Jane and Jordan to the others."This is Aunt Emily and Aunt Orianna."Jane and Jordan both greeted. "Aunt Emily, Aunt Orianna."The two women's eyes were teary. "It's good that you're back."Nathan pointed to the girl next to Aunt Emily, "This is Aunt Emily's daughter, our cousin."Anna greeted them. "Hello, my dear cousins.""Hello."Nathan added, "Aunt Emily's husband couldn't come right now. Aunt Orianna is single. This is all our family."Jane glanced over and then Nathan leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Grandma and Grandpa had

    "Okay."Jane watched her get into the car and waved her goodbye.Jordan was a bit confused and asked Jane, "Jane, why did Charlotte leave early?"Jane replied, "She wanted us to get familiar with our family first, then, as genuine members of the Jackson family, she would come as a guest.""But she's not a guest!""Yes, that's the charm of Charlotte. She knows how to maintain a sense of propriety."Nathan came out of the cemetery, got into the front car, and took Jane and the others back to the Jackson family's residence.Calvin and the members of the Jackson family had already been seated in the living room, waiting for them.Hearing the noise of the cars in the courtyard, Calvin stood up excitedly and walked to the door to greet them.He happened to meet Jane and Jordan.Calvin had once been a powerful figure, but in front of his granddaughters, he appeared helpless, like a child."They... they're here..."Jane and Jordan had already discussed it in the car. They both step

    And she would also act as a supervisor, so they could rest assured about Jane and Jordan.With the visit completed, Nathan led them back to the Jackson family's residence."Grandfather felt guilty for not being able to speak with you yesterday. He didn't want to bring up old matters on such a joyous day and make everyone uncomfortable, so he's been waiting here at the Jackson family’s residence since early this morning."Jane asked with concern, "What do you early? Why didn't you try to persuade him? Wouldn't it have been better for him to come with us?"Nathan replied, "At his age, if he could be persuaded, I would have, but if not, I could only comfort him. I'm afraid if he gets too anxious, it might affect his health. Though it might also be that he's tired of me, as a troublesome brat. But when you two lovely granddaughters try to convince him, he'll probably listen."Jane stopped in her tracks.Nathan asked, "What's wrong?"Jane said, "I want to go see Aunt Irene."Nathan

    "You both can rest in peace now. From now on, they will come visit you often."After saying this, he stepped aside to make space for Jane and Jordan.Jordan had attended Sir Howard's funeral before and, with the Howard family's help, had also handled her grandfather's passing.She had some experience, but when it came to facing her own parents, she felt overwhelmed and at a loss.When she knelt down, she nearly fell.A steady hand supported her, then knelt down beside her."Westley..."Although she had married Westley, she hadn't expected him to kneel down beside her like that."It's only right," he said.Beside them, Jane had knelt down before Jordan.Zachary followed and knelt with her.While the others were speaking, the two of them had already finished their bows.When Jane sat back up, her face was streaked with tears.She choked up and couldn't say a single word.After calling out "Mom, Dad," she stayed silent for a long time.Zachary spoke first—But not before g

    They went to bed early that night and woke up early the next day.In Jeswood, winter had already arrived, and the days were shorter.When Jane got up, it was still pitch-black outside.But Zachary had already finished getting ready and prepared all the offerings for the visit.It seemed he had woken up at least two hours earlier than her—probably at dawn."Thank you," she said.Zachary smiled and gave her cheek a firm squeeze."What, it's only the second day after our wedding and you're acting all polite with me now? What are you thanking me for?"Jane looked at him seriously. "Even if we're very close, I should still thank you for this.""Alright, message received."Zachary could see the sadness in her eyes, so he didn't say anything more.On the other side, Westley also woke earlier than Jordan.He even called Zachary to go over the items they needed to prepare.The two of them split up the tasks.They also made sure to check with Nathan.He probably couldn't sleep eit
