Chapter 189 Jasmine Finds a Son by the Seaside

"Do you think every good-looking woman resembles mom?" Nolan Cunningham looked at his brother dismissively. "Always seeing things in terms of our own."

Li Si Cheng snorted. "Bro, you're acting a bit weird today; you never used to be like this."

He glanced back at Jasmine, who was sitting by the seaside, and whispered, "Do you know that girl?"

"Haven't you heard? Her name is Jasmine," Nolan Cunningham said indifferently. "Jasmine?" Li Si Cheng wasn't up to speed with local news and shook his head.

"The counterfeit heiress of the Wilson family," Nolan Cunningham snorted with considerable animosity. "She's been to prison for extortion."

Li Si Cheng furrowed his brows. "Bro, aren't your words a bit prejudiced? Have you had any interaction with her?"

"Why would I want any interaction with her?" Nolan Cunningham said with an air of disdain.

"Do not hastily assess someone's character without truly knowing them. Regarding the heiress, whether she is authentic or not, perhaps she was swapped as an infant, correct? We still haven't found our sister to this date, and wasn't Fiona switched too? Who's at fault here?" Li Si Cheng said, clearly upset.

"You're not unaware but Pepe likes Ethan," retorted Nolan Cunningham, irritated that Ethan preferred Jasmine, a woman of dubious reputation, over Fiona.

"You're such a hypocrite," Li Sicheng scoffed as he grabbed a coconut from nearby. "You used to say that Ethan didn't choose Fiona because she wasn't the biological daughter of the Cunningham family, that she was merely raised in name by the Cunningham family butler. Yet, he'd rather choose Jasmine, who has no family background to speak of."

Nolan Cunningham was irritated by Li Sicheng's words. "What about the third brother?"

"Don't change the subject," Li Sicheng earnestly interjected, halting Nolan Cunningham's attempt to divert the conversation. "Bro, I'm serious about Fiona's situation. I know you've always treated her like a younger sister, spoiling her since she was little. She's innocent, but our own sister is even more so. We need to find her as soon as possible, or Mom's condition is only going to get worse."

"You think I'm not looking?" Nolan Cunningham said, angered.

"I won't bring up the past, but have you seriously searched for her in the last five years? You always avoid it, fearful of upsetting Fiona," Li Sicheng said as he sat down casually. "If the mix-up at birth hadn't happened, our sister would have been treated like the family's little princess."

Nolan Cunningham fell silent. He also felt guilt about his sister.

The whole family had sworn that once they found their sister, they would spoil her to the heavens.

"Also, even if Ethan doesn't like Fiona, you shouldn't take it out on Jasmine. You went too far today," Li Sicheng warned Nolan Cunningham again.

Nolan Cunningham gave Li Sicheng an annoyed look. "Have you taken a liking to her? You're really something."

"Bro, are you targeting her because you're interested in her too?" Li Sicheng's retort was like wielding a sword against a sword.
