"Three million dollars?! My goodness, how long do I need to earn that kind of money? If that's the case, she should be someone wealthy. Andrew, have you ever heard of her?" Queenie asked.
Seeing Queenie taking the initiative to talk to him, Andrew's face immediately lit up. He shamelessly draped his arm over her shoulder and walked forward with her.
"There used to be a Taylor family in Jinovy. My grandpa said that something happened many years ago that made the family move up north. As for where they settled down, I don't know. Jasmine is likely one of them."
"How so?" I asked him, puzzled.
There were so many people with the last name Taylor. How could he be sure that Jasmine was from that particular family?
"Well, I have a special talent for remembering things. Actually, I thought that she looked familiar the first time I saw her. It was like I had seen her somewhere before. When I went back to my family's mansion last time, I saw my grandma's old photo and recalled it. Jasmine looks a lot like the woman in the photo.
"Grandma said that she's a friend's daughter and she had a close relationship with the Taylors. It seems that she later gave birth to a daughter. So, I deduced that Jasmine is likely the daughter of that woman."
"Why didn't you say this earlier?" Queenie complained. Then, she raised her hand to swat his hand away, which was trying to pull her into his embrace.
Andrew smiled and kept his hand in place forcefully, determined not to let his hard-won advantage slip away.
He explained earnestly, "I didn't take it seriously at that time. It was only when Luna questioned her identity just now that I remembered. If you want to know the truth, I'll ask someone to investigate later. It's just a matter of making a request."
"Do you want to know?" Queenie asked me.
"If it's not too much trouble, please do investigate her. But if it's too much trouble, there's no need to make a big deal out of it."
