She responded quickly and looked quite obedient. âYes, I used to know her in Jeswood.â
âIt seems you two have a connection.â Yasmin smiled and nodded. She then turned to me. âThis is my daughter, Christine Jackson.â
Christine took her motherâs last name.
I wasnât clear on the specifics, but since it was her private matter, I didnât press further and simply smiled faintly.
Christine suppressed her emotions and clung to Yasminâs arm, whining, âMom, let me enter the entertainment industry. Iâm just curious. Let me see what itâs like, and if I really donât like it, Iâll withdraw.â
âGive it a bit more time. Iâll think about it.â Yasmin patiently tried to soothe her.
Christine pouted and said softly. âAlright then.â
Yasmin was very easygoing, and the meal was quite harmonious. Except for Christine, who kept sneaking
glances at me.
After the meal, Yasmin had to catch her flight and left quickly with her agent and assistant, leaving the bodyguard to watch over Christine.
As I was heading to the hotel entrance, Christine chased after me.
âMs. Shawâ¦â
She looked at me timidly. âThank you for not telling my mom about what happened two years ago.â
I frowned. âNo need to thank me. I just didnât want to stick my nose into other peopleâs businesses.â
As Yasminâs daughter, why had she agreed to impersonate me according to Bethany and her daughterâs arrangement two years ago?
Thinking of this, I couldnât help but ask, âIf I may be so bold, being Yasminâs daughter is likely worth much. more than being the Shaw familyâs daughter. Why did youâ¦â
âMs. Shaw, since you donât want to stick your nose in othersâ private affairs, then please donât interfere.â
Christine pursed her lips and blinked at me. âIn the Shaw family, you were the Shaw familyâs daughter, but here, youâre just my momâs dress designer. Knowing your place is quite important.â
âAlright.â
I wasnât one to be overly curious, and I realized I might have overstepped my bounds.
To avoid accidentally falling into another trap.
As I was about to leave, she stopped me again. âCan I ask you a favor? Please donât mention what happened at the Shaw family two years ago to my mom in the future.â
*Huh?â I laughed sarcastically. âI said I donât want to stick my nose into other peopleâs businesses. So, it
all depends on my mood.â

Things werenât as simple as she thought.
Ryan came to pick me up on the day that I was about to set off for Jeswood.
I initially wanted to refuse.
But since I had to pick up the specialist from the airport, I had no choice but to go with him.
After all, it was about my own grandma. It wasnât quite right to have him run around alone.
On the way to Jeswood, he worked on his laptop, clearly squeezing time from his busy schedule for this trip.
When he closed his laptop, I looked up from my phone and said, âThank you for making the trip despite your busy schedule.â
âItâs nothing.â
Ryan removed his glasses, massaged his temples, and asked, âHave you met Frank?â
I was surprised. âYou know heâs still alive?â
âHeâs been making quite a stir in Jeswood with SZ Technology these past two years. I guessed it was him
last year.
I was taken aback. âSZ Technology belongs to him?â
SZ Technology had actually existed for several years.
It had always been relatively lowâprofile until a couple of years ago, when it suddenly emerged with a bunch of patents, causing quite a stir.
With the support of powerful backers, its development was exceptionally rapid.
However, apart from Ryan, few people would associate it with Frank.
Moreover, I had always thought that even if Frank wasnât dead, he had gone to Frankesâ¦
It turned out he was right in Jeswood, not going anywhere else.
Upon arriving at the Jeswood airport and picking up the specialist and his assistant, we headed straight. to the rehabilitation center.
When Grandma saw me, she seemed to remember instantly and cheerfully grabbed my hand, âLily, you came to see me?â
âGrandma, how have you been these past few days?â
âGood, Grandma is doing well everywhere.â
When Grandma tried to pull me to sit down, she noticed Ryan and Prof. Kilburn and asked, somewhat confused, âWho are these two?â
âGrandma, this is Prof. Kilburn. Iâm Ryan Frost. Just call me Ryan.â
*Ryan?â Grandma was startled. âArenât you Lilyâs classmate?â

âGrandma, Iâm Lilyâs ex and Iâm currentlyâ¦.â
âHey!â Grandma became unusually angry, glared at him and interrupted. âNonsense. Lily is Frankâs fiancee. Itâs impossible for her to be with you.â
As she spoke, she pulled me further away from Ryan.
Afraid that Ryan might do something to me.
Outdoors, where everyone usually flatters and fawns over Mr. Frost, he was now awkwardly standing
there.
I couldnât help but laugh and said, âYes, Grandma, heâs just joking. However, he specifically brought Prof. Kilburn from abroad for you to help with your health. Please cooperate with the doctor for the checkâup, okay?â
Only then did Grandma stop saying anything and cooperated with Prof. Kilburnâs examination.
I watched nervously from the side.
Over the past two years, I had arranged for experts to treat Grandma privately, but the results were not
ideal.
Despite Ryanâs assurance, I still worried.
Afraid of receiving bad news.
Ryan suddenly approached and said softly, âDonât worry. Trust me, okay? Prof. Kilburn has specialized in this field for over 20 years. He wouldnât take on anything he wasnât confident about.â
âAlright.â I let out a light sigh of relief.
After a while, Prof. Kilburn helped Grandma sit up and looked at me and Ryan. âMr. Frost, Ms. Wilson, the old ladyâs condition isnât the most severe Iâve seen.â
I sighed with relief. âSo, can youâ¦â
âWithin a month at most.â
