Chapter 383
Two years later, Jelaston Airport.
I stepped out in flat shoes, pushing my suitcase, and was greeted with a big hug from Jane.
âMs. Wilson, youâve finally decided to come back?â
âAre you trying to strangle me?â
I smiled wryly. âI just missed you, so I came back.â
Jane actually visited me in Frankes whenevers had time. The last time we met was only two weeks ago.
On the way home, while driving, she said, âDuring the period when you first went missing, Ryan was like a madman. He couldnât believe you had just vanished into thin air. He almost wanted to dig up all of Jelaston and drain the lake.â
I smiled. âYouâve mentioned this many times.â
âIâm just saying.â Jane sighed. âBut Ryan and Jack kept it under wraps. Very few people knew you were in trouble.â
Aside from Jane and Jack, everyone else thought I was still by Ryanâs side, living comfortably as Mrs. Frost.
And Megan, not long after Frankâs accident, returned to the Smith Group, fighting for power with that illegitimate son to hold on to what belonged to her, Mrs. Smith, and Frank.
I turned to look at the bustling traffic outside the car window, still as lively and noisy as ever.
Jelaston hadnât changed much.
The RF Groupâs influence continued to expand. They stopped targeting the Shaw family but explicitly forbidding Bethany from interfering in family affairs, or it would continue to suppress her.
On the other hand, a new force had risen in Jeswood. Backed by unknown.
import it developed into a commercial legend in just two years, one that even the IIF Group dared not easily challenge.
And 1 during the past two years, had died and come back to life.
Seeing me lost in thought, Jane, thinking I might be recalling something unpleasant, teased, âWhy just one suitcase? Itâs not even enough to hold all your trophiesâ
I couldnât help but laugh. I was lazy and only brought one personal. clothing. I had the rest packed and shipped by the housekeeper.
Jane was curious. âHow did Dave finally agree to let you come back?â
Dave was a renowned genius designer in the fashion industry. He had a very high status and everyone addressed him as their teacher. During Jackâs three years studying abroad in Frankes, he also received guidance from Dave
And Dave took me in as his last student.
I curved my lips. âHe said he couldnât teach me anything more, and I would have to rely on myself for the rest.â
During the past two years, I focused most of my energy on improving my design skills.
Iâve almost won all the prestigious awards recognized in the industry.
With Dave as my mentor, I was at the forefront of the international fashion
scene.
As for the Charlotte Jewelry, I left the design of the online sales collection to Austin and his team. I only needed to finalize the design drafts.
The Charlotte Jewelry had become an increasingly popular fashion brand.
The new house was purchased last year with Janeâs help and decorated in a western style that I wanted.
It was close to the Charlotte Jewelry and in a good location.
It was on the top floor and had a big balcony.
After writtening the house, Jane smiled, âSo, are you satisfied with it?â
trust your judgmentâ smiled
Last year, after the renovation was completed and the cleaning company had finished, she had sent me a video.
After the long flight and the time zone difference, I tossed m suitcase aside and collapsed on the sofa. âThis sofa is so comfortable.â
Of course itâs comfortable. Now that youâre wealthy, I wouldnât dare buy you anything cheapâ
Jane came over to tease me, then paused and asked tentatively, âStill no news about Frank?â
i shook my head and replied calmly, âNone.â
When I initially decided to stay in Frankes, it was partly to change the environment that Iâm in and partly to find Frank.
At first, there were no leads, but as my network expanded and I asked many friends, no one knew of his whereabouts.
It was as if he had never been in Frankes at all.
Jane couldnât help but advise, âWhy not stop looking? If he was really alive, he would have found you by now.
I forced a smile and replied dismissively, âLetâs talk about it later.â
He had been looking for me for over 20 years.
I was nowhere near that.
âYouâre so stubborn.â
Jane then decided to change the subject. âNow that youâre back, what are your plans?â
âDidnât you say you got me a big job in the entertainment industry?â
