On the other end of the line, Yasmin’s voice was warm with a hint of a smile. “Charlotte, thank you so much. The dress you designed was fantastic. As soon as the awards ceremony ended last night, a top luxury brand contacted Joanne to sign her as their global ambassador.”
Hearing this, I was even more delighted. “Really? That’s wonderful!”
For celebrities, especially someone at Yasmin’s level, there was no need to take on ordinary endorsements. They should go for top luxury brands. However, it was rare for Cherian celebrities to be chosen by such brands, so even being an ambassador is something to boast about among fans. Let alone being a global ambassador.
Though for Yasmin, this might just be an extra bit of good fortune rather than a significant achievement.
“It’s true.” Yasmin smiled slightly, her tone easing. She asked, “Once the contract is successfully signed, there will be a celebration party. May I invite you to attend?”
For some reason, I detected a hint of caution in her voice, as if she were afraid of saying something to
upset/me.
was uncertain whether to agree, so I decided to be direct. “Ms. Jackson, when I mentioned Ben last time, it seemed like you were somewhat bothered. May I ask if there’s any grudge between you two?”
There was a brief silence on the other end.
I bit my lip. “Ms. Jackson, although I’m not very willing, he is indeed my father. If you’re uncomfortable with my relationship with him, we can have Jane handle the work–related communication with you.”
“Don’t get me wrong.” Yasmin quickly responded, smiling, “As for my relationship with your father… you might find out eventually, but it won’t affect our interactions. I also apologize for my rudeness last time. Charlotte, I genuinely want to invite you to the celebration.”
⚫ felt reassured and smiled. “In that case, I’ll gladly accept the invitation!”
After all, if I want to pursue top–notch custom design, entering the domestic fashion circle quickly is best achieved through the entertainment industry. Such a good opportunity is not one to be turned down.
After hanging up, Yasmin felt a bit melancholic, holding her phone and staring blankly.
Joanne placed a cup of freshly brewed floral tea in front of her. “Why not just explain everything to her directly?”
“How should I say it?”
Yasmin pulled herself together and took a sip of the tea. “How should I tell her that she might actually be my biological daughter? The paternity test report isn’t qut yet. If it turns out that Christine is indeed my daughter, it will make future interactions with Charlotte quite awkward.”
“Perhaps it’s better to wait until everything is settled.”
Yasmin rubbed her temples. Since suspecting Christine’s identity, she hadn’t slept well any night. Her
mind was in extreme turmoil.
She blamed herself for not being cautious enough, letting someone exploit the situation.

In recent days, Joanne had looked into Charlotte’s past and found that she had been kidnapped and lost, raised by foster parents until the age of eight. After her foster parents passed away, she lived under her aunt’s roof and began working part–time from high school to support herself.

After marriage, she encountered misfortune, endured a lot of suffering, and even… lost a child, without even having a proper recovery!
