Chapter 256

Author: Little Happiness
It didn't take long for Benedict to finish his call with Isaac. The disappointment on his face was unmistakable. He let out a long sigh. "Isaac says he has business overseas and won't be coming back anytime soon."

My chest tightened, heavy and suffocating. I had expected this answer, yet it felt no less disappointing than being rejected by him in person.

Isaac had connections everywhere. Even from thousands of miles away, he could handle a problem with just a few phone calls. He simply didn't want to get involved. And I had no right to blame him. My connection to him existed only because of Benedict and Victoria. We were barely acquaintances.

He had already helped me many times recently, going above and beyond each time. Every favor felt like a debt I could never repay. How could I expect him to step in again?

"Benedict, we don't need to trouble Isaac anymore. I have other options," I said, doing my best to steady my voice.

Benedict looked confused. "Other options? What do you mea

    I responded with utmost seriousness, making sure every word counted. I texted, "Ms. Beech, learning figure skating at your age isn't something you can pick up overnight. The production team has already arranged a coach for you."You should join the team tomorrow and start training. They'll give you a daily schedule. If it feels too difficult, I'm sure that there are plenty of other actresses who would be happy to take this role."This time, Yasmin didn't respond immediately. An hour later, she finally replied. "Ms. Night, I'll do as you say and report to the set tomorrow. By the way, will you be there as well? I want to thank you for this opportunity, and if you have time, I'd love to take you to dinner.""No need. I don't do social gatherings." I refused her outright.…The next morning, the production team informed me that Yasmin had already reported in. Ruby also rushed to my house early in the morning."Josie, did you hear? Yasmin is going to act in the adaptation of your nov

    I just hoped that Isaac wouldn't hold a grudge. Even so, for Daphne, I couldn't afford to hesitate. I had to go all in. "Alright. Give me three days." With that, I stepped on the accelerator and merged into the highway traffic.Timothy wanted Yasmin to go overseas to look after Daphne, which would mean putting her career on hold. If the acting role she had been waiting for finally came her way at the same time, I couldn't help but wonder what her decision would be.Would she give up her career for a child who was not even hers, or would she take the chance to make her comeback?If Yasmin stayed in the country to film, Timothy—who was extremely protective of Daphne—would never trust anyone else to look after her. Only if Daphne remained could I buy myself some time to arrange a maternity test.As soon as I got home, I opened my laptop and began adding the new character to my original story. To make the role appealing to Yasmin, I shaped it as a positive character—one of the heroin

    My chest tightened, and I was about to argue when Timothy suddenly changed his tone. "You can run a maternity test if you want."He leaned in, his warm breath brushing my forehead, yet his voice was cold. "Go home and behave as Mrs. Grant. You'll get what you want only when I'm satisfied.""That's impossible," I said, my voice trembling with suppressed anger as I stepped back, putting some distance between us. He had destroyed my marriage and taken my daughter. He didn't love me. Why should I let him continue to torment me with this twisted arrangement?Timothy reached out and lightly brushed my cheek. "Think carefully before you answer me.""Don't even think about it! Even if I agreed to your terms, you wouldn't allow the maternity test. You just want to torture me." My chest rose and fell with anger as I stared at him. His dark eyes locked onto mine, heavy and unyielding.At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Jason cautiously entered, keeping his head down. "Mr. Gra

    After saying that, Timothy didn't even come inside. He walked straight to his car. I ran after him and blocked him just as he was about to get in. "Timothy, you want to send Daphne abroad? She's still so young!""Learning to be independent from a young age isn't a bad thing. Yasmin will go with her and take care of her." His voice was cold and detached.I gripped his arm so tightly that my knuckles turned white. "She isn't even four. This is the stage when she needs family by her side, when her values begin to take shape."You want Yasmin to take care of her? Are you trying to turn Daphne into a second Yasmin? Timothy, think clearly. If you let that woman near Daphne, she will be ruined sooner or later."Timothy didn't waver. "Yasmin takes excellent care of her. Daphne is now adorable and sensible, and it's all thanks to Yasmin."My chest felt as though it were being crushed under a boulder. "She tampered with Daphne's food, sent her to the hospital, and got me arrested. That's he

    Diana seemed to realize what I was looking for and said, "Isaac left early this morning. He said he has an important court session today."I paused, feeling a little embarrassed. "No wonder... I thought he wasn't up yet.""He wouldn't be. He's never liked sleeping in," Diana said, her eyes softening as she spoke of Isaac.It was hard to believe that someone like her could willingly stay apart from her son for so many years, yet raise Harriett as if she were her own.Just then, Benedict's sharp voice rang out from outside. I hurried out and saw Timothy at the door, blocked by Benedict."Get out of here!" Benedict shouted, pointing at him. "I've never had such an unfaithful, unfilial, and heartless grandson. You had your wife thrown in jail yesterday, and today, you still have the nerve to show your face. If Isaac hadn't stepped in, Josie would still be locked up.""Even if he hadn't helped, I would've gotten her out," Timothy said, his voice low and steady.His gaze shifted to me
