Chapter 445 The Ugly Little Wolf
Chapter 445 The Ugly Little Wolf
Third–person POV:
Viola’s gaze settled on the sketch closest to the desk.
It was too similar.
Way too similar.
The face shape, the brows, the eyes, the nose, every detail matched the Jasmine she had just seen.
She suddenly felt like she couldn’t breathe.
It was absurd. Someone she had met in person today was now staring back at her from a drawing, and the man who drew it had never even seen Jasmine.
She turned to look at Shane and Luke.
They were both staring at her just as intently.
Viola swallowed. “I saw a she–wolf today who looks exactly like this.”
Luke’s eyes lit up instantly as he stepped forward. “Where? Where did you see her?”
He practically lunged in. If he found that girl, he could finally finish what Samuel had assigned him and stop dealing with his constant bad mood.
These past few days, every look Samuel gave him felt like he owed him his life a hundred times over.
Viola said, “At the Knights‘ place. Her name is Jasmine.”
She glanced at Luke and Shane. Neither of them was an outsider, and neither would help Estelle, so she went ahead and told ther everything about Hugo, how Jasmine was his daughter, how she was now working under Estelle, and how she had been arranged to marry Terrence.
Viola added, “But she doesn’t seem like a bad person. There’s something off about it. It feels like she doesn’t was to do this, but because Estelle saved her life, she has no choice.”
Luke thought for a moment, then said, “Then let’s bring the old lady over. If they reconnect, maybe Jasmine won’t keep working for Estelle.”
Shane nodded.
While Luke went to get her, Viola lowered her head and looked at the drawing again, then sucked in a sharp breath
She finally understood why Jasmine had felt so strangely familiar earlier.
With the sketch laid flat on the table, when she studied the features more closely, there was a slight resemblance to Laila’s mother, Diana.
She glanced at the other drawings. It was the same.

Viola clenched her jaw. Damn Estelle. This had to be deliberate. She hated Diana, so she wanted anyone who resembled her to suffer, just like Chloe’s mother, that she wolf also named Diana.
Not long after, Luke returned with the old woman.
She moved quickly, almost rushing in, her steps uneven but urgent.
At the doorway, she braced herself against the frame to catch her breath, her eyes already sweeping the room before landing on Viola.
“You’ve seen her?” the old woman asked, her voice tight. “Where?”
Viola said, “At the Knights‘ home. Her name is Jasmine.”
Luke added from the side, “She just looks like her. We still need to confirm.“.
The old woman’s eyes reddened. “Yes, we need to confirm.”
Over the years, she had hired people to search and even offered rewards. Many had brought someone to her, but every time, it ended in disappointment.
She didn’t dare hope too much anymore. She had already started to believe her daughter might be dead. When Samuel offered to buy her house, she had taken the chance to make this request.
She knew he wouldn’t lie to her.
Whether alive or dead, he would give her a clear answer.
After a moment of silence, Viola said, “Can you tell me about her childhood? I’ll bring it up when I talk to her. Her reaction should tell us most of what we need.”
The old woman nodded and began speaking right away.
When she finished, she gave Viola a small bow. “Please wait a moment.”
She turned and walked out, her steps unsteady. Once outside, she bent over hands braced on her knees, taking several breaths before straightening and continuing.
She came back quickly, holding a small wooden wolf carving.
It was clearly old and roughly made. One of its hind legs had broken and been glued back on poorly, sticking out at an odd angle. It was obviously handmade, not something bought.
“I carved this for her the year she went missing,” the old woman said, her voice trembling. “She didn’t like it when I gave it to her. She even threw it on the ground and broke its leg.”
She looked down at the little carving, her voice dropping.
