âYep, guess who?â
âThe popular young star recently?â
âNo, no, think bolder.â
âBolder?â
âYasmin Jackson!â
âWhat?â
I was taken aback, âJane, youâve managed to network into that circle now?â
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 wouldnât 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 talkedâabout as any top celebrity.
âThis isnât my connections.â Jane shook her head, laughing. âIt was Yasmin who saw the dress you designed for last monthâs fashion week and liked it. She had her agent contact me, asking if I could make an exception and reserve a private custom slot for them.â
She was worried that I wouldnât have the energy, as I only offer two private custom slots per month. However, these were all designed using my identity abroad.
No one knew that the designer behind the Charlotte Jewelry was actually still Charlotte.
She poked my forehead. âDo you think youâre still the Charlotte from two years ago? Now there are many celebrities waiting to book our private custom slots, all wanting to shine on the red carpet.â
I teased her, âWhat about Yasmin?â
âWell⦠sheâs not an ordinary celebrity. Sheâs a bigwig among bigwigs, someone we need to treat carefully. We canât afford to offend her.â
Jane hesitated, changing the subject. âBut seriously, what are your plans now? I donât believe youâve just
returned for this.â
I rested my elbow on the sofa, supporting my head with my hand as I looked at her. âWhen I left two years ago, I was in a poor state, and there were some unresolved matters.â
At that time, even surviving was a struggle, leaving no room for anything else.
The grudges with the Shaw family.
The division of shares between the Charlotte Jewelry and the RF Group.
âSo what are you planning to do first?â asked Jane.

âOne step at a time.â I pursed my lips. âYou have an appointment with Yasmin the day after tomorrow, right?â
âYes, sheâs coming to Jelaston to see her daughter,â said Jane.
Yasmin was still single, but last year she suddenly announced that she had found her longâlost daughter. Many netizens were envious, saying that being born into a wealthy family was also a skill.
I got up and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. Then Iâll head to Jeswood now to see Grandma.â
âShouldnât you get rid of the jet lag first?â
âI slept on the plane, so Iâm not tired.â
âAlright then.â Jane relaxed, handing me the key to an Audi. âHere, the car you bought. It just came back from the dealer yesterday.â
As I exited the building, I saw a brandânew Audi RS7.
The summer heat in Jelaston was unbearable.
Even the wind was hot.
After a short while, I rolled up the windows and turned on the air conditioning.
When I arrived in Jeswood, I headed straight to the care home.
After I moved to Frankes, Grandma had woken up under traditional medicine treatment, but she still suffered from impaired consciousness.
Her symptoms resembled Alzheimerâs.
When I arrived at the care home, I hurried inside with my bag and brushed past a group of blackâclad bodyguards pushing a wheelchair.
The man in the wheelchair was wearing sunglasses, with his head lowered, seeming rather listless.
But his aura was very cold.
He looked like someone with a very bad temper.
Entering the ward, the caregiver saw me and was somewhat surprised. âMs. Wilson, you back in the country?â
She was someone I had arranged through Jack.
I felt uneasy leaving Grandma without any familiar face around.
âYes, I just arrived today.â I smiled. âWhere is Grandma?â
âSheâs resting in the bedroom. This afternoon, a Mr. Smith came to visit her, talked with her for a long while, and left only after she fell asleep. Oh, he just went out. Didnât you run into him?â.
âMr. Smith?â
I glanced sharply toward the door and asked urgently, âWas he with a group of bodyguards?â

âYes, did you see him?â
1 didnât bother answering. I turned and rushed outside!
When I ran out, a black Continental had just closed its door, and the remaining bodyguards were getting into another vehicle.
âFrank!â
