Jeswood International Airport.

Alana strode out of the airport in red high heels, bending down to get into the Rolls-Royce that had been waiting outside.

As she moved, the long skirt fluttered, revealing a slender, fair calf.

Alex's eyes darkened slightly as he thought about how that leg had been wrapped around his waist when he was with her the morning before. After leaving the airport motorway, the car drove straight towards the city center.

Alana was in a good mood and hummed a tune softly.

Just like in her own car.

"Hello?"

Beside her, Alex suddenly took a phone call, his expression serious yet slightly excited. "Is the information accurate?"

"Okay, I understand! She's living in the Cloud now, right? Send me the address on WhatsApp."

After hanging up, Alana glanced at him. "So excited, did your second uncle pass away?"

Alex's second uncle had been causing trouble and setting traps for him, even kidnapping Danny.

The thought of Danny's injuries at that time made Alana grind her teeth with anger.

Alex's expression slightly softened. "Joe found out that my elder sister has settled in Jeswood. I'm just passing by and thought I'd take a look."

Joe Townsley was his personal assistant.

"Elder sister?"

Alana was momentarily taken aback, then quickly realized. "You mean the elder sister who cut off relations with the Jackson family years ago, the one you never mention?"

It wasn't just about not mentioning her to outsiders; even internally, the family avoided the topic.

Alana was quite curious, but even after being married for so long, she hadn't managed to replace out the name of this elder sister.

The Jackson family seemed to keep this matter shrouded in secrecy.

However, Alana could tell they didn't dislike the elder sister. When mentioned, they were furious, but their words and attitudes betrayed a sense of guilt.

Alex's expression remained unchanged as he nodded. "Yes."

After arriving in the Cloud, to avoid being too abrupt, Alana didn't go with him but waited in the car.

Alana was surprised to see a trace of apprehension on Alex's face.

Alex spoke softly, "If you don't want to wait, let the driver take you home at any time."

Alana agreed, "Okay."

In the evening, just as we were about to start dinner, the doorbell rang.

When I opened the door, it was Alana.

Hearing her mother's voice, Danny quickly slid off her chair and ran to Alana, jumping into her arms. Mommy!"

A touching mother-child reunion ensued.

I went to the kitchen to get some extra dishes and invited Alana to join us for dinner.

Frank looked at her with a smile. "Had enough fun?"

"Fun?" Alana huffed. "I haven't had a chance to settle scores with you. You were the one who gave Alex that terrible idea, right? He came all the way and dragged me back." Frank cocked his brows. "I didn't. I just suggested he explain those rumors to you."

"We're divorced, who needs an explanation?"

"Did you listen?"

Alana shot him a dissatisfied look. "You're just arguing for the sake of it."

Having been abroad for so many days, she must have been craving Cherian food, and she ate heartily. "By

the way, that mysterious figure from the Jackson family has returned to Jeswood."

Frank was disinterested, serving me some pepper-salt ribs. "What mysterious figure?"

"The elder sister of Alex!"

Alana continued, "As soon as we landed, he got a call from Assistant Tang, and Tang sent him the current address of his elder sister."

"Didn't see Alex like that before. I've never seen him scared of anyone, but it seems he's quite intimidated by his elder sister. He even told me before getting out of the car that if I didn't want to wait, I should let the driver take me home." "Guess what happened?"

Alana couldn't help but smile triumphantly as she tucked her long hair behind her ear, which had delayed her meal. "He got a big 'cold shoulder,' and they didn't even let him through the door!"

Frank frowned. "Is there still someone who dares to give him the cold shoulder?"

In recent years, the Shaw family had been intermittently suppressed by RF, and the Smith family, now under Lucas, had shown signs of decline.

Alex in Jeswood was as influential as Ryan in Jelaston

They were figures whom even dogs would bow to.

"Yeah."

Alana sipped her juice slowly. "I used to hear the Jackson family servants say that the eldest daughter left the Jackson family out of stubbornness and didn't know how much hardship she'd endure." "Today, it turns out she lives in the Cloud, in the top-floor apartment. Even after leaving the Jackson family, she's still thriving."

"The top-floor apartment in the Cloud?"

I had been taking care of Danny's meal and hadn't paid close attention to their conversation, but I caught this key detail.

If I remembered correctly, Yasmin's apartment was indeed the top-floor one.

Valued in the nine-figure range, but Yasmin had the means, with several top stars in the entertainment industry being nurtured by her.

Celebrities earn a lot, especially with the backing of capital.

Alana nodded. "Yes, her net worth is at least 2 billion dollars."

Frank looked at me. "What's wrong?"

I went to Yasmin's home last time, and that's the apartment she lives in," I said honestly, not hiding anything.

Alana looked stunned, then, in shock, said, "So, the top figure in the entertainment industry is my son's... aunt?"

"Yes! I didn't think of that. Yasmin, Alex... they all share the same surname."

Most stars are considered mere entertainers in the eyes of the wealthy, except for Yasmin and her family. She herself was part of the upper class.

In fact, her connections and resources were richer than those of typical wealthy families, with others often seeking her out.

Adding the Jackson family's old family status made it even more formidable...

They all had the same surname.

Hearing those words, I felt a pang of realization.

The lost silver pendant was also engraved with the name "Jackson."
