Zuko coughed twice and said through gritted teeth, “You talk too much.”
Toph smiled and asked, “Zuko, are you worried that Pammy won’t be able to accept this reality? After all, her new
family is treating her well.”
Zuko paused for a moment and reluctantly admitted, “I do have that concern.
“I’m also worried that if Lina doesn’t want to return to the Thompsons, it’ll be a significant blow to Uncle Nicholas
and Aunt Linda.”
“Yeah, that’s true.” Toph nodded. “So we need to take this slow.”

Meanwhile, Melvin paced back and forth in the villa. He noticed a trinket on the windowsill that displeased him and
angrily threw it against the wall.
“That b*tch!”
The housekeepers and servants stood still, afraid to approach him, unsure of whom he was referring to.

He couldn’t blame anyone else for this matter. He had underestimated his own daughter!
He didn’t expect Renee to be just like her mother—appearing harmless on the surface but more scheming than
anyone else!
Now, she had helped the Hamerton brothers uncover the
They would come after him next!
Melvin clenched his fists tightly, veins popping on his forehead.
He gripped his phone tightly, dialed a number, and forcefully enunciated each word, “You find a way for me… Don’t
let Pamela’s identity be exposed all the way to Centrolis!”
Gia remained silent for a moment and let out a light snort. “Mr. Thompson, the Hamerton brothers are in Jangasas
now. I can’t get close to Pamela or Renee.”
“I don’t care! You caused this mess! You damn well better solve it for me!”
Melvin’s anger turned into rage, and he almost crushed the phone in his hand.
Gia tightened her grip.
“Ms. Chapman, you’re helping me for the money.” Melvin sneered. “But now I feel like I’m not getting the proper
return for what I’ve paid! So… either you solve it for me, or I’ll solve you!”
“Mr. Thompson—”
“That’s final!” Melvin’s words brooked no opposition. “I don’t care what method you use, even if you f*cking seduce
Zuko and separate the two of them! In any case, Lina Jenner cannot appear in Centrolis!”
Gia’s heart thumped, and she ground her teeth.
She was under Melvin’s control and hated Lina to the core.
In fact, she wished Lina would disappear from this world more than hardly leaving her alone, she had no chance to
make a move.
Gia furrowed her brows as Melvin’s last words echoed in her ears.
‘Seduce Zuko? Fine!’
If seduction didn’t work, she would resort to other means!

Given that girl’s character, she would never want a man who had been sullied. Even if Zuko carried her on a golden
ride to Centrlois by then, she wouldn’t budge.
Gia curled her lips, a trace of malice crossing her eyes. Before implementing this plan, she needed to probe first.

Melissa’s injuries were slowly healing.
During this period, Lina had been attentively taking care of her in the hospital ward. Melissa felt increasingly guilty
and deeply moved. Late at night, it felt like insects were gnawing at her heart.
One day, when Lina went home to change clothes, a car sped past her as she passed by a small alley near her
house!
It had rained the night before, and there were many puddles on the uneven road. The car went straight through the
puddles without even braking, splashing Lina with water.
Lina exclaimed and instinctively moved backward, but she still ended up soaked.
She calmed herself down and was about to see who the despicable driver was when she noticed the familiar red
luxury car stopping ahead, its two red taillights provocatively lit up.
