Frank noticed my distraction and patted my head. “What are you thinking about?”
I came back to my senses and smiled. “Nothing.”
If my biological mother were from the Jackson family, my life would be a bit too perfect.

With a biological father from the Shaw family, a boyfriend from the Smith family, and a mother from the Jackson family, I would have connections with all three major families in Jeswood. Not just in Jeswood, but nationwide, I would probably be unstoppable.
The influence of Yasmin’s presence catapulted the Charlotte Jewelry to the top of the domestic fashion scene almost overnight.
It quickly became the most popular fashion brand in the country. There were many people clamoring for spots in the bespoke service. After discussing with Jane, we decided to stick to our original plan and not increase the number of slots.
Steady progress was more important for both the Charlotte Jewelry and us at the moment.
However, we decided to take this opportunity to rapidly expand our offline stores, not just in Jeswood, but also in Jelaston and other major cities.
Suddenly, the Charlotte Jewelry was extremely busy, and Jane and I were running around in circles.
Fortunately, Alana came back at this crucial time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have had much time to spend with Danny.
With the market demand growing, our existing designs were insufficient, so we needed to continually produce new ones. Austin was struggling to keep up, so I had to rejoin the team.
I also had to manage bespoke services, constantly drawing sketches and participating in video meetings, while working with the design department to create new designs.
Jane was in charge of market operations and had to oversee the renovation of the first store and the selection of locations for other stores.
In addition, the establishment of the Jeswood branch couldn’t be delayed.
This time, we didn’t need to repeatedly search for a location. After determining the district and area, there were only a few offices that met our requirements.
On this day, while Jane and I were on our way to the office building, Ryan called.
“Charlotte.”
After answering, his clear voice came through. “I heard from lan that you’re planning to establish a branch office?”
The RF Group was still a major shareholder in the Charlotte Jewelry.
Previously, I didn’t have enough funds to buy back The RF Group’s shares, but now, the value of the Charlotte Jewelry’s shares had increased several times.
Asking the RF Group to sell its shares at this point would be akin to burning bridges, Besides, Ryan is a

businessman; investments are meant to make money.
While driving, I said, “Yes, Mr. Brown has already approved it”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and Ryan’s voice, though gentle, held a hint of emotion. “Congratulations on achieving your wish. I’m happy for you.”
I was momentarily taken aback.
Indeed. Deciding to start a business was to ensure that my parents‘ efforts weren’t in vain and to make the Charlotte Jewelry a well–known fashion brand.
And it seemed like I had achieved that!
I smiled. “And thank you, Mr. Frost, for investing in us back then.”
“Charlotte…” Ryan was silent for a moment, his voice a bit hoarse, then he chuckled softly. “It seems you won’t have time to make my suit for a while?”
I cleared my throat. “I really can’t make it right now. If you
an wait, I’ll make it for you once I’m done with the jobs I have at hand. If not, I can recommend someone else to you…”
“Wait!” Ryan interrupted me. “Charlotte, I’m not in a hurry. You focus on your work.”
After hanging up, Ryan leaned back in his leather chair, his eyes red.
His mind was filled with memories of the three years when Charlotte always put him first.
Even when she handed him a suit she had personally made, her eyes had been filled with hope and
caution.
Hoping he would wear it, yet fearing he might not like it.
After all, back then, Charlotte was just a novice designer, while his wardrobe was filled with haute couture or bespoke pieces from renowned designers.
Unfortunately, he had never understood the emotions behind her eyes at that time!
Knock, knock-
The office door was suddenly knocked on.
Ryan composed himself and said in a detached tone, “Come in.”
“President, there’s a resume that might need your personal review.”
Gary walked in, holding a resume.
Ryan frowned. “Whose?”
