“You… How did you get these?” Melissa was the first to react and stared at Lina. “You, girl, didn’t actually go and
register with him, did you?”
“Mom, what are you saying!?” Dave defended his sister. “Lina didn’t leave the house all day!”
“Yes, yes.” Jesse nodded. “I came back home at noon, and Lina was working on her thesis!”
“Everyone, don’t panic,” Zuko said in a deep voice. “These two marriage certificates are fake.”
“Fake!?” Everyone was even more surprised.
“Lina said she was afraid that Violet would come looking for trouble again. I thought about it and agreed that it’s
better to be prepared,” Zuko explained simply. “So I got these.”
Lina was surprised and picked up the marriage certificates to examine them carefully.
She had seen her parents’ marriage certificates before, and they looked exactly the same as these ones. Her photo
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand Zuko’s photo looked incredibly real, and the size was according to the standard of a marriage certificate.
The most unbelievable thing was the stamp.
Lina examined it repeatedly but could not find any flaws.
Jesse and Melissa exchanged glances, their gazes filled with doubt.
Finally, it was Dave who asked the question everyone wanted to ask, “Mr. Door Guardian, how did you get these?
Never mind the certificates for now. How did you find my sister’s photo?”
Zuko’s expression froze.
Of course, he could not say that he had asked Fredric’s acquaintance there to make them. Fredric was a prominent
lawyer with a wide network of contacts, including those who engaged in “special crafts,” such as forging documents
and hacking into networks.
The person who created pirated websites obtained Lina’s photo from her school records in less than ten minutes.
Zuko cleared his throat and said with a straight face, “Well… I made it myself.”
“You?” Lina widened her eyes. “You know how to do this too?”
“Uh, yes…” Zuko evaded the question. “I used to help people with fake documents.”
The small living room suddenly felt like it was in a vacuum. Jesse let out a burp that sounded particularly loud.
Lina could only imagine the scene of those eye-catching words painted on the stone walls of the alleys
—”Documents for Sale” followed by a string of phone numbers.
‘Zeke used to do that?’
She could not help but burst into laughter thinking of that image.
“Oh my!” Melissa suddenly exclaimed, “Zeke, does that mean you went to prison because of forging documents?”
“Huh?” Zuko was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and replied, “Yes.”
Melissa asked again, “Then why did you choose this line of work when you could earn a living with your physical

“I…” Zuko felt helpless and continued to bluff. “This line of work is easy, and it earns money quickly. I needed
money at that time.”
Meanwhile, Melissa had already imagined a family melodrama scene.
This poor child had no good background and had been forced to take this path. Did he also have a pair of parents
who sucked his life out like blood-sucking locusts?
With that in mind, her heart clenched. She quietly got up to go to the kitchen, scooped out the leftover food, and
brought it to Zuko. “You haven’t had dinner? Eat while it’s hot!”
Zuko looked at the food and wondered whether to call the container a bowl or a basin.
Melissa smiled. “By the way, Zeke, since you went to prison for forging documents, you shouldn’t have been
sentenced for many years, right?”
Zuko really did not know how many years he should have been sentenced. To avoid slipping up, he quickly lowered
his head and started eating.
Melissa felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.
