Chapter 460
They were in the open, while the other party was in the dark. It was impossible to guard against everything.
The search for her daughter had been a private affair before Christine was identified. Very few people knew about it, and they were all reliable.
It was unclear which link in the chain leaked information, giving the other party an opportunity.
Yasmin thought about her attitude towards Charlotte, feeling a pang of anxiety. “If I’m wrong, then my real daughter is very likely Charlotte… right?”
“Yes,” Joanne answered straightforwardly. “Actually, don’t you think Charlotte resembles you quite a bit?”
“Resembles in appearance?”
“That’s one way to put it.” Joanne nodded, then shifted her focus. “But the main thing is her attitude. Doesn’t she remind you of how you were when you were younger?”
Yasmin frowned. “What do you mean?”
“She’s ruthless when it comes to dealing with scumbags.”
Joanne smiled. “She and Ryan have also cut ties completely.”
Yasmin disagreed. She seemed to have thought of something, and gave a bitter smile. “She’s too gentle. She’s not as ruthless as I was back then.”

How could this happen?
Why was it Charlotte again?
Why did Charlotte have such good fortune, being both the Shaw family’s eldest daughter and Yasmin’s daughter?
And what about her?
Was she doomed to a lifetime where she couldn’t even be a substitute?
Did she only deserve to wallow in the mud?
She refused to accept such fate!
She was unwilling!
She was also resentful!
Christine suddenly got up, frantically crawling onto the bed to carefully search for her own hair.
Even though the servants cleaned meticulously every day, she still managed to find a few strands.
After searching the bed, she moved to the floor, desperately looking for more, as if with a magnifying glass.
She was afraid of missing any strand.
While searching, her shoulders began to tremble violently, and she curled up on the floor, breaking down into silent tears.
She cried silently and restrained, not daring to make a sound.
She was so close…
