“I’ve already had someone look into who she had been in contact with before,” said Yasmin.“That’s hard to look into.” Frank was certain and continued, “When you went to find Charlotte yesterday, it was probably seen by someone with ulterior motives. They’ll likely be much faster at erasing traces than we are at investigating.”“In that case, the best solution is to keep this matter under wraps for now. After a few days, when the suspicion has died down, we can follow the clues more easily.”“But my mom and I have been in contact more than just a designer-client relationship yesterday and today.”“The other party’s suspicion might not be so easily dispelled, right?” I asked.The methods of the behind-the-scenes person were similar to those from two years ago. Both were deeply hidden, with enough scheming to not easily let go of their concerns.Alex squinted his eyes. “Yasmin, what do you think about publicly acknowledging Charlotte as your goddaughter first?”“That way, we can p

Bethany smiled and pretended to stop her. “Forget it, Carrie, don’t underestimate her. She might end up with some rich husband and getting support from someone later.”“Bethany, you’re the daughter of the Shaw family! Are you really afraid of her? You said she’s an orphan. Even if she’s good at attracting rich men, who would actually marry her?”Carrie Harrison sneered. “Anyone invited by Ms. Jackson is from a family that values social standing. At most, they might play around with her. No one would turn against us for an obscure lover.”The young man who had previously approached me couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke up for me, “No, she was just introduced by Ms. Jackson…”“Enough,”People of this social tier generally looked down on ordinary celebrities. No matter how popular one was, it ultimately depended on capital.Bethany interrupted him. “I know you want to say she knows Ms. Jackson…”“What?” Carrie suddenly looked alarmed, “She knows Ms. Jackson? Why didn’t you say

After giving my instructions, I decided not to bother and headed straight to find Jane.“Why should I leave?” Carrie, after hearing the security's straightforward eviction notice, looked at me with suspicion and asked, “Who… who is she?”Bethany glared at me with hatred and then turned to the security, “Oh! Now I get why a mere designer can stay here so long. It's because she has an affair with you, isn’t it?”“Please watch your language!”The security guard frowned, “Ms. Wilson is an esteemed guest. Your insults…”“Esteemed guest?”Carrie’s expression grew more anxious. “She, she’s someone’s esteemed guest? Could it be… Ms. Jackson?”But after saying that, she looked a bit doubtful.Bethany was even less convinced. Now that she was being expelled and the guests who had been watching the scene started whispering among themselves, she felt humiliated and quickly became red with anger. She stormed over to me, gritting her teeth, “Charlotte, what trick are you playing now! Even if

The people present exchanged glances, with some having their mouths hanging open in shock.After all, Frank and Ryan were both significant figures. No one there was unafraid of them.Everyone tacitly understood that the Harrison family was finished!Carrie was stunned, glancing between Frank and Ryan, unable to utter a word of pleading. In the next moment, she suddenly looked at me with a pale face, panic-stricken, and said, “Ms… Ms. Wilson… I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have looked down on you or insulted you. Please, hit me if you want, just please!”She was nearly in tears, no longer concerned about the dignity of a young lady. “I really know I was wrong. I beg you, please let Mr. Smith and Mr. Frost spare my family… I came here hoping to collaborate with Ms. Jackson, but instead, I’ve brought trouble to my family. My father will kill me!”Yes, I knew she wasn’t exaggerating.In such families, children who enjoy wealth and power must also pay the corresponding price. If they not only

Frank noticed her too and frowned slightly, then looked at me and said quietly, "Charlotte, I have some business to discuss with Mr. Frost. Can you check on why Jane hasn’t come up yet?""Okay." I nodded, left straightaway, and called Jane while waiting for the elevator.Anyone could see the undercurrents between these two formidable figures.Ex-husband, current boyfriend…Anyone who dared to approach them at that moment would consciously steer clear and give them space.Frank pressed his tongue against his cheek, clearly ready to erupt but reluctant to cause a scene in front of his future mother-in-law. He sneered and said, “Mr. Frost, can we have a word in private?”“Sure.” Ryan looked at Charlotte’s distant figure, his fingers slightly curled.He had expected that Charlotte might show some emotional reaction with another woman around him. To his surprise, she didn’t seem to care at all!It was as if, for her, the past was simply the past.To her, he was just an ordinary ex-

The girl next to her said, “What else could it be? It’s definitely Elena from the Charlotte Jewelry! I just didn’t expect that she would be such a young and beautiful woman!”“I didn’t see you speaking up for her earlier. Now you’re praising her.”“What could I have been able to do?”The girl next to her gave her a sidelong glance. “Did you forget what you and Carrie and Bethany said earlier? If I had helped her, you would have probably cursed me as well.”It was only natural to protect oneself.“No...”She didn’t argue, muttering, “Originally, my mom was trying to get another spot for a private commission with Elena, but now that I’ve messed things up… I’m afraid it’s impossible for the rest of our lives.”“Not necessarily.” Another girl spoke up, “She doesn’t seem like the type to hold grudges. She probably won’t hold it against someone like you who doesn’t have much sense.”The people around were also discussing among themselves.The dinner hadn’t ended yet, and I had alrea

Diana was stunned for a moment.This was indeed not what she had anticipated!Ryan smiled, his pitch-black, deep-set eyes showing no hint of scrutiny, calmly seeing through Diana.With just one glance, Diana awkwardly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze!This man was too intimidating!Playing games of pretending to be weak and then seizing an opportunity was a big mistake in front of someone as perceptive as him…Ryan leisurely extinguished his cigarette. His voice was hoarse, yet his aura remained penetrating. “Why do you think I’ve brought you here today?”Diana’s heart was pounding, not out of anything else, but out of fear and nervousness.Ryan looked down at her, methodically peeling away her thoughts, “Seeing Charlotte, did you think you could be a substitute?”She gripped the hem of her dress tighter to control her trembling, but it was likely futile. She forced herself to look up at Ryan. “Then, Mr. Frost, can I?”Ryan sneered, not providing a direct answer, only utte

Frank gave me a sidelong glance, not responding and maintaining his firm grip, not allowing me to withdraw. He took out his phone and made a call.In a short while, a waiter brought in iodine swabs and an ointment.Frank broke the swab, gently applied iodine to my wound, his long eyelashes casting shadows over his emotions. His voice, though somewhat muffled, was clear. “I can’t change how you lived before, but from now on, you need to take good care of yourself.”“Where you are careless, I will handle things for you.”I felt a shiver inside, my eyes welling up with tears. I pursed my lips, finding myself on the verge of crying.It turned out that people cried not only when they were sad.Before I could speak, the man’s large hand, which had always claimed to be incapable of handling delicate tasks like treating wounds, was now applying the ointment with skill. He was more meticulous than he ever was while signing billion-dollar contracts.The cool ointment spread through my lim

Zachary had already planned for today.He didn’t take Westley’s words to heart.He assumed Frank would explain things to Charlotte.Who knew Charlotte actually accompanied Jordan to Nelana?“It’s not that, it’s just a coincidence.”Jane chatted with Charlotte and asked about Jordan’s situation.Charlotte said, “Westley didn’t show up, so the young girl is very angry right now. I’m taking her to get some photos taken.”“Then after you’re done, come back. How can I celebrate without you here?”Nelana and Jeswood weren’t far from each other. Charlotte checked the time and agreed.“If you’re hungry, just eat something first. Don’t keep waiting. Once I’m on the plane, I’ll let you know. You can roughly estimate the timing.”“Alright!”Jane hung up the phone and looped her arm around Zachary’s. “I want to eat a strawberry cake.”Zachary helped her into the car and instructed Ross to drive to a cake shop.He got out of the car himself to buy it.As Jane ate, she asked, “So if We

“I don’t care! I must go back and put on some makeup!” Jane declared.Ross, who would rather face Zachary’s wrath than make Jane unhappy, immediately prepared to turn the car around.But Zachary stopped him. “Keep driving.”He gently patted Jane’s back to calm her down.“I know you’re excited about getting the certificate, but don’t get so worked up—think about the baby.”Was that what he thought this was about?Jane grabbed Zachary’s ear. “Are you getting old and becoming deaf? I said turn the car around! If you keep pretending not to hear me, don’t even think about me taking a photo with you to get the certificate when we get there!”In the end, Zachary had no choice but to compromise.Jane hadn’t done her makeup in a while. With the sudden pregnancy, she hadn’t had the time to prepare maternity-safe cosmetics.So they went to the mall, where she bought what she needed and applied a full, flawless makeup look.Feeling beautiful and confident, she finally went to the Civil A

Jordan planned to return to Nelana right after breakfast.Yasmin tried to persuade her to stay a few more days.But she was eager to return and finalize her divorce.Charlotte decided to accompany her since she hadn’t had the chance to visit Dominic and look at the finished products after Jane’s recent accident.Frank wanted to tag along, but Charlotte stopped him. “You stay here and handle things.”Frank sneered. “You’re just tired of me and keep coming up with reasons to stay apart.”Charlotte had been hearing this from him a lot lately and was immune to it by now.She patted his shoulder, linked arms with Jordan, and walked away.Frank was rendered speechless‘Fine.’Westley had never drunk so much alcohol before.Although he wasn’t completely wasted, there were still some things he remembered clearly.However, his headache was intense.Buck brought him some water, asked about his schedule, and reported on the events of the night before.Westley paused while drinking t

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
