Chapter 449

Author: Lean
"Graduated from a prestigious school, impressive resume," the assistant answered.

But what he found was only Charlotte's domestic resume.

Felix was dismissive. "What's a good resume going to do? The Frost family is wealthy and powerful. they don't need their wife's resume to make an impression."

The assistant guessed, "Well... maybe Mr. Frost just prefers this type of woman?"

Men have different tastes and preferences. Some like red roses, while others prefer gardenias.

Felix took this in and, flipping through the documents, pondered, "So she's in Jeswood now?"

"Yes."

"Let's go."

Felix grabbed his car keys and was ready to leave in a hurry. The longer he delayed, the greater the chance the project would fall into someone else's hands. And he was determined to win it.

"Mr. Lennox..." The assistant hesitated. "We... we can't afford to offend them either."

Felix paused for a moment. "What do you mean?"

It was just the founder of the Charlotte Jewelry. Besides, he wasn't going to

    Although I had thought about it, I still felt uneasy. Would finding her really be the same as I imagined? She might have already started a family, had children, and be living a happy life. My appearance might just be a stone disturbing her stable life. Moreover, with the silver pendant lost two years ago, finding her would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.Unexpectedly, Yasmin said, "I can help you, whether it's through public searches or private inquiries. It's up to you how you want to proceed."I was surprised. "Really?""Of course." Yasmin nodded, glanced at Christine, who was juicing in the kitchen, with a gentle and obviously maternal gaze. "If someone had been willing to help Christine in the past, perhaps I could have recognized her sooner.""You and Christine..." I hesitated slightly. "Were you separated before?"If that were the case...I had to wonder if Christine's true identity was really Yasmin's daughter. Two years ago, she had deceive

    Even if I said more, she might still choose not to believe me and doubt Christine, her "biological daughter".I placed the juice on the coffee table, picked up my bag, and said, "Ms. Jackson, sorry to disturb you today."After Christine left the living room, Yasmin suddenly relaxed. The hatred in her heart surged again. However, as she calmed down, she felt something was off. She picked up her phone and called Joanne."Joanne, see if you can find out if there were any grievances between Christine and Charlotte two years ago."‘From the way Charlotte acted earlier, it didn't seem like she just wanted to chat. It seemed more like a reminder of something.’"Sure!" said Joanne. She then asked curiously, "What's going on? Why the sudden need to look into this matter?""I'm not sure yet."Yasmin couldn't explain it and continued, "Also, find out when Charlotte's birthday is."She couldn't make sense of the connections at the moment. But her intuition told her to investigate.T

    Unexpectedly, Frank's expression remained unchanged, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened into a smirk as he mocked, "Are you so sure that Ryan will cooperate with you?""He might not want to cooperate with me." Lucas was confident. "But if he does cooperate, it would help me deal with you, my rival."Ryan wouldn't even need to do anything himself.As long as he gave Lucas a contract, Lucas would act as Ryan's pawn, making Frank back down step by step.Lucas thought that the SZ Technology, no matter how impressive, had only emerged in the past two years and was far behind the RF Group.Frank sneered. "Don't get ahead of yourself. If you keep boasting, you might end up with no retreat and have to swallow your words.""What do you mean?""I have some news that hasn't been announced yet."Frank sat on the sofa, leisurely watching the Smith family father and son, and said, "the SZ Technology and the RF Group have just signed a strategic cooperation agreement."He cros

    The living room remained silent. Although Luke had left, Frank was still around.The Smith family had long been wary of him, and with the current situation, their apprehension only grew.Madam Smith gave Frank a reproachful look. "You unruly child, aren’t you going to see your grandfather? He's been looking forward to your return!"Since Sir Smith's heart attack two years ago, his health had deteriorated significantly. He rarely made appearances at family dinners. Knowing that Frank might come back today, Madam Smith and Mrs. Smith had kept this information from Sir Smith, fearing he might clash with Luke again. That was why Sir Smith hadn't attended the family dinner.Frank's previous hostility had vanished,. He quickly stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go now."Megan, who had been standing aside, immediately said, "Frank, I'll go with you."In the study of the Smith family's residence.As soon as Luke entered, he kicked Lucas away!He was filled with frustration. "Wha

    The atmosphere was tense.Anyone with a keen eye could see that Luke was grinding his teeth in frustration!However, everyone present was aware that the father and son had long been at odds.The younger generation showed no respect for the elder, and the elder showed no love for the younger. It was a family trait, perhaps a matter of genetic disposition.As Madam Smith would put it, this was called "everyone had their own kryptonite."Since Luke, as the only son of the Smith family, was careless with his private life, he shouldn't be surprised if Frank didn't take him seriously.Madam Smith was actually pleased to see Frank suppressing his father.Just as everyone thought Luke might erupt in anger, he approached Frank, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You rascal, fine, I'm asking you as a favor to clean up this mess for your brother.""Brother?" Frank sneered, his eyes cold, and glanced towards Mrs. Smith. "Mom, when did you give birth to a brother for me?"

    Jelaston, the RF Group.Having just finished an urgent meeting, Ryan walked out of the conference room.Gary hurriedly followed, reporting, "That Smith family illegitimate son just called to confirm the news about our cooperation with SZ Technology.""Okay."Ryan didn't seem to care, striding towards his office.It was just another round of internal strife within the Smith family. The real question was whether Frank had the capability to decisively defeat his opponents this time.Gary was somewhat puzzled. "Why are we cooperating with SZ Technology at this crucial moment?"Publicly, the RF Group indeed needed SZ Technology's patented technology, but there was no need to collaborate at this particular time.Privately, since I had run off with Frank, why was the president still helping his rival?Ryan tugged at his tie and sat down as he turned to look at Gary. "Do you really think that if I don't cooperate with him, he won't be able to fight them off?"Lucas had ambition but l

    "Felix?" I frowned. "I'm not Mrs. Frost, and I don't know you. Please step aside.""Do you know Mr. Frost then?"Felix didn't seem to have any ill intent. His tone even had a hint of ingratiation as he explained, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."I took a step back, looking at him in confusion. "So who are you...?"From his words, it seemed like he was quite familiar with Ryan. But what he wanted from me was unclear.Felix took on a sympathetic tone. "Mrs. Frost, I know you and Mr. Frost just divorced not long ago, but don't you think it's a bit of a pity?""Huh?" I looked at him and sneered. "Are you bored or something?"Felix chuckled awkwardly. "Please don't be angry. I saw Mr. Frost looking lost and disheartened over you the other day. I'm just afraid you might miss out on such a good man.""Did he send you?" I asked.Ryan wouldn't use such an indirect approach.Felix quickly shook his head. "Of course not. It's just... it's been a while since the divorce. No matter the reas

    On the way back to Jelaston.Felix found it hilarious how I had completely disregarded him earlier. Since the easy way didn't work, he decided to use a harder approach. He didn't believe he couldn't handle a single woman. ‘As long as Charlotte went back to Ryan, everything would be settled. Ryan would be so overwhelmed with joy at having her back that he wouldn't care about the methods used to achieve it.’‘As for Frank, it was unlikely he would fall out with Ryan over a woman. The Smith family's heir was just passing time with a woman.’ Felix had seen enough of these kinds of situations to believe that Frank wasn’t serious about me.With these thoughts in mind, Felix crossed his legs and made a phone call. "Hello, it's me. Whatever method you use... fuck!"The car suddenly came to a sharp stop. Sitting in the back seat and too lazy to fasten his seatbelt, he was thrown forward into the seat in front of him due to the momentum!It hurt so much that he cursed out loud!The leg

    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
