The media, always eager to seize an opportunity, naturally didn’t let go of this headline and immediately put Zuko
and Abigail in the spotlight.
Little did those media outlets know that the hotel wasn’t even the place where Zuko stayed! He had been there that
day because Jacob was attending a legal forum in Southeast Aciatic, and Zuko had met with him there to give
instructions to the hotel staff about taking care of Jacob.
Who knew it would be twisted into a story of Zuko and Abigail being passionately involved in a love affair at the
hotel!?
However, the trending topic only lasted a few minutes before the Hamertons’ PR team forcefully suppressed it, and
the journalists responsible faced legal consequences.
Zuko had always disliked public appearances, so he remained silent about the matter. What about Abigail? She
didn’t even provide an explanation and simply disappeared!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver the course of two years, the incident gradually faded from the fickle masses’ memories. However, no one
expected Abigail to make a comeback at this moment…
“Well, it’s not hard to understand,” Toph analyzed. “After all, Alluring Gail is an artist, and she’s still under Imperial
Media. How will she survive if she doesn’t come back and earn money from acting?
“In the end, it’s been two years, and it didn’t cause much of a stir even back then. Her team claimed she went
abroad for further studies during these two years, and her contract with Imperial Media hasn’t expired yet.
Coincidentally, a few big productions are coming up recently, so…
“The timing of her comeback is basically perfect!” Toph shrugged.
“Not for me!” Zuko felt a headache coming on. If Abigail was making a comeback, her team would surely bring up
the old incident to generate buzz before releasing her work. And what better material to use than that incident
from two years ago?
He wouldn’t have cared if it had happened before, but now he had Lina…
Zuko’s eyes widened as he crossed his arms and huffed.
“Bro, I don’t think it’ll happen. Those reporters involved faced legal consequences back then, and no one dares to
joke about you, the esteemed young heir, now!”
Zuko’s gaze darkened as he remained silent.
“But… you never know.” Toph furrowed his brows. “The Internet has a memory.”
Zuko said, “I remember you were the director of Imperial Media’s PR department, right?”
“Uh, well…” Toph chuckled and nodded.
Zuko curled his lip, instantly dissipating his previous gloominess.
It was only then that Toph suddenly realized something was amiss!
“Zuko Hamerton!” His eyes widened. “You’re not thinking of making me keep an eye on this matter 24/7, are you?”
“When your big brother is in trouble, shouldn’t you step up as my dearest little brother?” Zuko hooked his arm
around Toph’s neck, wearing a mischievous smile. “How about this? Your big brother will cuddle with you tonight, so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou can reminisce about our childhood!”
“Oh my god!” Toph jumped three feet away. “Y-You… stay away from me!”
Zuko lowered his voice. “Toph Hamerton, if even the slightest bit of this matter leaks out, it will be a sign of your
incompetence!”
“Zuko Hamerton! Is it right for you to bully me like this?”
Zuko smirked, his expression saying: “So what?”
Toph straightened up. “This is my room, and I won’t allow you to run wild here!”
“Yeah, right. I’ve done it many times, even if I can’t!”
“Argh—”
Soon, the room echoed with the sound of scuffling.
Meanwhile, Cordelia and Zephyr were still awake, listening to the commotion and sighing softly.
“Having two boys at home means there’s never a moment of peace!” Cordelia commented.
“Darling, let’s bring our daughters-in-law in quickly and have them manage these two properly!” Zephyr suggested.
Cordelia pursed her lips and nodded fervently. “Let’s do that!”
