When he looked at Yasmin, his throat moved slightly as if he were nervous. "Yasmin, I came uninvited, but there are some things I need to say to you in person."


    Without waiting for Yasmin to respond, he continued, disregarding the people around them, speaking slowly and deliberately, "You don''t need to worry about implicating me anymore. Now, the Jackson family is under my control, and I can protect you!" I didn''t know if Yasmin would ept it, but I felt my eyes well up with tears.


    Probably because I knew this person was my uncle and the person beside him was my mother, I was


    erso easily moved by their family affection.


    Turning my head, I saw Yasmin with reddened eyes, tuming away to hold back her tears before she looked back at Alex and said with a hint of annoyance, "When you were little, you cried for me to help change your diaper. Now you say you can protect me?" "Pfft-"


    na almost choked on her drink, unable to stopughing.


    Alex cleared his throat but didn''t seem embarrassed by the teasing. He looked steadily at Yasmin and asked, "Yasmin, you''re not angry with me anymore?"


    I looked away from Yasmin and toward Alex, smiling, "Uncle Alex, my mom has never been angry with you."


    Alex''s brows twitched. "What did you call me?"


    na watched his changing expressions and couldn''t helpughing again. "Alright, Yasmin, Charlotte, let''s go to the lounge and talk. There are too many peopleing and going here."


    At this point, there were not many guests yet. Many who wanted to chat with Yasmin saw Alex, who was like a prominent figure, and dared not interrupt.


    Our group went directly to the lounge.


    na briefly exined my rtionship with Yasmin to Alex.


    When Alex looked at me, the authoritative head of the Jackson family, who was usuallymanding and serious, almost looked like he might cry orugh, but he ended up just handing me a ck card, saying, " Uncle didn''t prepare a gift for you, so just use this card as you like."


    I stared at the card in my hand, a bit stunned.


    Although it''s an old-fashioned gesture... he does know how to give gifts? This ck card alone would be enough to buy arge estate in the Cloud.


    Seeing Yasmin nod at me, I smiled and said, "Well then... thank you, Uncle Alex?"


    ""For what?"


    Alex cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "The Jackson family already has a share of your mother''s and yours. It''s no big deal. From now on, the Jackson family is your backing."


    The atmosphere in the lounge was very pleasant.


    Alex and Yasmin seemed to have had a very good rtionship in the past. Once the ice was broken, any sense of distance vanishedpletely.


    Knock knock-


    The door was suddenly knocked.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    As I was about to get up, Alex signaled me to stay seated, stood up to open the door, and gave a slight nod to the person outside. "You''re here?"


    "Mr. Jackson,"


    Frank''s rxed voice came through the partially open door. He didn''t rush in but nced at na from that angle. "Have you cleared up those rumors with my sister?"


    "I have."


    "Then it''s fine."


    Frank seemed exhausted from staying up for days, leaning against the doorframe. "If you really want to remarry, you''d better treat her well. Otherwise, as your brother-inw, I won''t agree to your marriage." "Okay." Alex nodded and then suddenly added, "You''d also better treat my niece well in the future. Otherwise, as her uncle, I won''t allow her to marry into the Smith family''s."


    "What?" Frank frowned and smirked. "Me? Marry your niece?"
