Chapter 384

Author: Lean
"Yep, guess who?"

"The popular young star recently?"

"No, no, think bolder."

"Bolder?"

"Yasmin Jackson!"

"What?"

I was taken aback, "Jane, you've managed to network into that circle now?"

Yasmin Jackson, one of the four top actresses in the entertainment industry. She became over 20 years ago. Her family background was quite impressive, but no one has dug up anything substantial over the years. Some say it was either fake news or her background was so extraordinary that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to find anything.

After taking a break from acting a few years ago and moving behind the scenes, she had become a significant player in the entertainment industry. Every appearance she made was as talked-about as any top celebrity.

"This isn't my connections." Jane shook her head, laughing. "It was Yasmin who saw the dress you designed for last month's fashion week and liked it. She had her agent contact me, asking if I could make an exception and reserve a private custom slot f

    As I reached out to knock on the car window, a bodyguard quickly stood in front of me."Hello, ma'am! This is a private vehicle.""I know." I pointed inside the car. "I know him."The front passenger window lowered, and another bodyguard said, "I’m sorry, our employer doesn't know you.""He doesn't know me?" I asked."Yes, you might have mistaken him for someone else!"As the bodyguard spoke, the driver followed orders, stepped on the gas, and the black Continental slowly drove away.Other vehicles quickly followed.I stood there, stunned for a while.Frank didn't recognize me anymore...Or was that not Frank?Suppressing my doubts, I turned and went back to Grandma's room to ask the caregiver."Was the Mr. Smith who came earlier here for the first time?""Probably not, but it wasn't my shift," the caregiver replied. "He seemed quite familiar with the ward facilities when he arrived.""What did Grandma call him?" I asked."She just held his hand and wouldn't let go. Late

    I seemed not to have heard him and continued, "It's not just that she doesn't like me. You probably dislike me quite a bit too, right? But I know you're my biological father. Why would a father dislike his own child? Is it because of some enmity between my mother and you...?""Enough!" Mr. Shaw cut me off sharply, his face reddening. "You've been back in Jelaston for two years, and you've become just as unruly and aggressive as you were when you were younger?""Oh." I received the answer I wanted. "It seems my birth mother is indeed someone else."This was what the psychologist in Frankes had told me.The more people try to deflect or get agitated when you ask something, the more it indicated there was an issue.What I initially suspected was now a certainty.Mr. Shaw, who was usually quite elegant, looked at me with a hint of disgust. "Get lost!""Alright." I smiled slightly and turned swiftly before he could lose his temper further."Wait!" He suddenly called out to me. "Have

    "What's next? Just confirming that he's doing well will be enough."I was momentarily taken aback but quickly realized something. "I don't want to anticipate anything anymore."I can't really describe my feelings toward Frank. The only thought I've had over the past two years is hoping to hear from him, hoping that he is still alive and well.The next day, Jane and I went to the Charlotte Jewelry together.Austin had been promoted to Deputy Director of the Design Department and now had his own independent office.When he saw me through the French windows at the company, he was overjoyed and rushed to Jane's office, "Ms. Wilson! You're finally back at the company. I've been looking forward to your return day and night.""You missed her so much?" Jane teased with a smile. "When she's not here, you're the one in charge, enjoying yourself. Why would you look forward to her coming back?"In the two years I was away, the Charlotte Jewelry had grown rapidly, even leasing the office spa

    The scent was refreshing and comfortable, perfect for the summer. It was clear that Yasmin paid great attention to the quality of life. Before long, the door to the bedroom opened from the inside, and Yasmin emerged wearing a simple silk camisole dress. As expected of a perennial star in the entertainment industry, she was even more elegant and beautiful in person than in the videos and photos online, showing no signs of aging. At around 50 years old, she was still stunningly beautiful, a truly impressive celebrity."Ms. Jackson." I smiled and stood up to greet her. Jane also stood up and said, "Ms. Jackson, it's truly better to see you in person! The media photos don't capture even half of your beauty!"Yasmin had no pretense at all and playfully responded to Jane's compliment.With the assistant's introduction, she distinguished between me and Jane. She walked over in her slippers, her red lips slightly upturned. "Why are you standing? Please, take a seat."She pulled

    Jelaston wasn’t a big place. When I decided to return to the country, I had already prepared myself for the possibility of running into him again. I just didn't expect it to be so soon.As I quickly withdrew my hand, I heard Yasmin said in surprise, "Mrs. Frost?""Yes.""She's the ex-wife."Ryan and I spoke almost simultaneously. I suppressed my irritation, looked at Yasmin, and smiled faintly. "Ms. Jackson, you're busy. We'll take our leave now.""Yes, Ms. Jackson, if you need anything, feel free to call me," Jane also said politely.As we were leaving, I vaguely heard Yasmin's voice behind us. "Mr. Frost, it looks like your ex-wife doesn't seem to like you."Just as we were about to leave the hotel, a black Continental drove away from the car park.I instinctively ran outside and saw a license plate that looked somewhat familiar.Jane chased after me. "What's wrong? Why are you running so fast? Did you see a ghost?""It's not that." I pointed to the Continental that had a

    Frank was spinning a lighter in a daze, his cold face showed no emotions. "I don't know either."Alana Smith found this amusing. "Even someone like you can be confused sometimes?""I don't want to force her into anything.""Cut the crap." Alana suddenly exposed his pretense with a laugh. "Don't try to fool me. You know she's going to that hotel today, and you still insisted on driving that stupid car of yours, making it obvious, just so she'd notice.""And then, when she shows up, you're here hesitating, not even seeing her.""Frank..." Alana suddenly stood up, pointing at him with a knowing smile. "You're not playing hard to get, are you?"Frank slapped her hand away, trying to appear calm. "Your imagination is better than hers."Back then, I went back to Ryan and left him without hesitation. Even when Megan tried to inform me of Frank’s death, it was Ryan who answered the call. He hadn't dared to tell anyone that he had called later, in the dead of night, when he was overwhelm

    Hearing this, I was a bit surprised.This time, it wasn't a threat.Rather, he was willing to go with me to get the divorce certificate first and then give me time to think about it.It was a bit unlike Ryan's usual style.Opportunities were rare and fleeting. I agreed gladly and checked the time. "Alright, how about tomorrow? Is he available tomorrow afternoon?"Gary hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes.""Then please tell him that we'll meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau at two o’clock in the afternoon tomorrow."I found that I didn't have much of an emotional reaction.There was no sense of relief.Nor was there any other emotion.It felt as ordinary as arranging a meal with someone.I even wondered why I had been so deeply entangled in the past, experiencing repeated pain and disappointment.After hanging up, Gary walked into the CEO's office.He took a furtive glance at Ryan's expression and dared not speak.Ryan was sitting in his office chair, lifting his gaze fr

    He squinted his eyes slightly. "It's fine. I have money."I was at a loss for words. After all, he was right. I could only nod. "Alright, then I... I'll leave now. I'll send the certificate to the Frost family's residence once it's ready."When I returned to the Charlotte Jewelry, someone was already in the office.Jack looked at me with a helpless expression. "Why did you just run back to the country without saying a word? If I hadn't talked to Dave, I wouldn't have known you were back.""I saw from your social media that you were on a business trip abroad." I smiled. "I was planning to tell you when you got back."As soon as I finished speaking, Jane walked in with a lively stride in high heels and cocked her brows. "Did you get it sorted this time?"I nodded. "Yes, I did.""Really?" Jane didn't believe it. "Show me."I had told her last night that I was going to get the divorce certificate from Ryan today.She was skeptical, thinking something would probably go wrong again.

    On the other side, Caleb threw his phone aside.The force was considerable, and it landed with a loud thud.If not for its special design, the screen would likely have shattered by now.Max, standing nearby, laughed. Seeing him silently drinking, he asked knowingly, "What's the matter? Has your wife taken a liking to someone else?"If it were anyone else, if their husband left without a word and answered a phone call with such cold indifference, they would surely be angry.Even if they didn't make a fuss, there would at least be some sign of frustration.Max guessed that Caleb wouldn't say anything, so he flipped open a blank document, his tone sarcastic. "Come on, you've traveled all the way from Yelar to Impelia for a business trip. It must be for a deal worth tens of billions, right?"He wrote "10 billion" on the blank sheet of paper, signed his name in the bottom corner, and handed it to Caleb. "Alright, sign here."Caleb gave it a cursory glance, his expression cold.Even

    When Whitney went out, she ran into Yvonne and handed her the car keys. "Sorry for the trouble, Yvonne.""It's no trouble. I’ll just give them to Millie later on. Don't worry about it.""Okay."Whitney waved goodbye to Yvonne and got into Georgina's car.Georgina exchanged a few words with Yvonne before driving off.On the road, she asked, "Why didn't you get your driver's license?"Whitney replied, "I did, but I haven't driven on the road yet. I'm afraid I might damage Gilbert's car.""How could that happen?" Georgina laughed. "Gilbert's identity is special. The car has armor on the outside, it's crash-resistant, bulletproof, and resistant to everything.""As long as you avoid pedestrians, you'll be fine."Whitney still didn't dare.Georgina asked, "Didn't Caleb help you practice? He doesn't have much to do anyway."Caleb had indeed offered to help her practice driving.But she didn't dare, afraid of crashing his car, something she could never afford to repair.She liked

    His eyes were ice cold. His noble background and the inherent sense of authority he carried made her feel breathless.She stood there for a while, then picked up the plate and walked over.Tentatively, she asked, "Do you... do you want some food?"Caleb looked at her for a few seconds before opening his mouth.Whitney sighed in relief, using a fork to pick up a piece of pasta to feed him.Seeing that he seemed to be eating fine, she slowly continued feeding him.Suddenly, she asked, "Was your alcohol poisoning a lie?"Caleb was still a little stirred up inside, his voice calm as he asked, "Do you want to have an argument?"Whitney didn't dare.She had only suddenly remembered this matter.Earlier, he had pinned her down for a while, yet she hadn't noticed anything wrong.Even if he was physically fine, he had gone to the hospital today, and surely, he shouldn't have had this much energy at night.Although she didn't know why his mother had lied with him, she understood that

    Whitney was surprised and said sincerely, "Both of you are really talented."Georgina smiled, "We're from the same orphanage. We're not biological sisters, but we're just like real sisters."At that moment, Taylor came over, and Yvonne introduced her to Whitney.Taylor was also a quiet person. The two smiled at each other and then fell into silence.Georgina said to Taylor, "Get ready. His flight should be tomorrow night."Taylor's face immediately darkened. "Okay."Whitney sensed that something was off, but seeing their expressions, she wisely didn't ask."Let's go," Caleb returned with the food and called out to Whitney.Whitney didn't want to go back. "I want to talk with Georgina for a while."Caleb didn't speak, only looked at her, but his gaze was cold.Reluctantly, Whitney followed him back.Yvonne hooked her arm around Georgina's shoulder, watching Whitney follow Caleb to the room.She smiled slightly. "She looks really cute. Just like when you were Lucifer's secret

    Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."

    "Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It

    Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho

    Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall

    "If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
