Hello @ubani1. I don't know if it's too late to give you my feedback. If so, then maybe you can think about it if you ever decide to continue on at some point with the next chapter in your protagonist's search.
You have a nice investigation story that's suspenseful. Jessie/Amanda goes on a quest to locate her biological mother. That's understandable. Also, she's in a position to investigate it fully with the career path she's chosen. You've given a career path for your main character that's opposite her biological mother - law enforcement vs. foreign spy. That's intriguing, and how it's resolved we don't yet know.
I didn't get a chance to read your first draft. I just went back and read it. I didn't leave any comments, but will address them here.
Take care.
