Jasmine found herself puzzled over who could possibly desire her life.


    While images of Rueben and Theodore flitted through her thoughts, she quickly brushed them aside.


    She believed Rueben had been like a brother to her since childhood, always treating her with kindness, so the idea that he might harbor malicious intentions seemed impossible.


    It wasn’t that Jasmine was na?ve or gullible; she simply valued the bond of affection and felt it was wrong to doubt her cousin or her uncle.


    Charlie noticed herck of suspicion towards Rueben and realized that her perspective was rather superficial. <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At this point, he himself was only beginning to harbor doubts about Rueben and felt it unnecessary to discuss his concerns with Jasmine until he had concrete proof.


    He then advised her, “For the next couple of days, Jasmine, you’ll be staying at Mr. Ito’s residence. As I mentioned, refrain from contacting anyone or letting anyone know you are alive. I will investigate who is truly out to harm you.”


    Jasmine nodded gently, responding earnestly, “Charlie, I will follow your instructionspletely.”


    Charlie offered a slight smile, “You haven’t rested at all through the night. Let Miss Ito prepare a room for you to rx after dinner.”


    Nanako quickly interjected, “Miss Moore, what type of room do you prefer? Would you like a traditional Japanese tatami or a cozy European-style bed? I’ll make sure the staff is ready!”


    Jasmine hurriedly replied, “Miss Ito, you’re too kind. I’m open to anything.”


    Nanako beamed, “In that case, I’ll arrange a Japanese harmony room for you; it embodies a serene countryside vibe.”


    Jasmine expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, Miss Ito!”


    Ito Nachiko stated earnestly, “Miss Moore is a dear friend of Charlie’s, and when she visits the Ito family, she should feel right at home.”


    Then, with a hint of regret, Nanako added, “Since Miss Moore is in Tokyo, I should have shown you around, but Charlie insists you stay hidden for now. Once everything is resolved, I promise to take you out for a proper tour!”


    Jasmine was taken aback by Nanako’s courteousness, especially since she was the esteemed eldest daughter of the Ito family, who had a more prestigious background than her own. She felt a bit ttered.


    However, a sobering thought crossed her mind: “I’ve never met Miss Ito before. Is her politeness genuinely for me, or is it simply because of Charlie’s influence? It appears Charlie is both exceptionally capable and quite admired…”


    As Jasmine contemted these thoughts, Nanako had already prepared matcha tea ording to the Japanese tea ceremony. She was the first to present a cup to Charlie, expressing a mix of respect and shyness, “Enjoy your tea, Charlie!”


    Charlie nodded with a smile, “Thank you, Nanako.”<fn3c79> Checktest chapters at Find_Novel(.</fn3c79>


    He then reached out to ept the cup of tea.


    Nanako, continuing her respectful demeanor, brought another cup and handed it to Jasmine.


    Jasmine noticed that while Nanako was very gracious when serving her, the brightness in her eyes dimmedpared to when she served Charlie.


    As a woman, Jasmine could easily recognize the subtle differences; the sparkle in Nanako’s eyes when she looked at Charlie spoke volumes.


    When a woman gazes at a man with such a unique light, it often signifies that he holds a special ce in her heart.


    This realization brought Jasmine a twinge of sadness.


    The sorrow stemmed from the understanding that Charlie always seemed to attract a multitude of admirers.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
