Toph was astonished, but Zuko smiled at him and led him up the stairs.
The building had only two units on each floor, and they were headed to the opposite side of Arya Comics.
"This..."
Zuko handed the keys to Toph. "You'll be staying here for the time being."
"What?"
"This is a property developed by the Thompson Group. The quality is absolutely guaranteed!"
"I'm not talking about that, I mean..." Toph's words trailed off as the door across from them gently opened.
Arya stepped out with a smile, holding a paintbrush in her hand.
Toph paused and smiled happily. He glanced into her messy studio, where paint, canvases, and papers were

regarding him as a stranger.
Toph laughed. This was his first hearty peal of laughter in a while.
Zuko understood that it was time for him to leave. He handed the luggage to Toph and smiled at Arya. "He'll be
living across from you from now on. Take good care of him, would you?"
After exiting the apartment building, Zuko took a deep breath and felt much more relaxed.
'Entrusting Toph to Arya should be the best outcome. However...' His eyes dimmed slightly. 'There is one more thing
I have not dealt with yet. It cannot be considered the best outcome just yet.'
With that thought in mind, he hurriedly headed toward the Thompson Group. -
Jacquelin realized she couldn't continue working at the company. Her plan was to sell some of the clients'
information from the sales department at a low price. After all, she had worked in sales for years and had great
clients.
Although she had an obligation to keep the client data confidential, money mattered to her, and getting revenge on
the Thompson Group was even more important.
Leaking client data wouldn't only bring her a small profit but also damage the company's reputation, leading to
accusations of a privacy breach.
She smiled slyly as she secretly visited the company on her day off to organize the client data for the buyer. But
suddenly, she bumped into Renee!
"Ah!" Jacquelin exclaimed.
Renee's sinister and pale face looked scarier today.

"M-Ms. Renee," Jacquelin stuttered. "Y-You... How come you're in the sales department?"
Renee had long sensed something was wrong with Jacquelin. Her visit to the sales department today happened by
chance. She remembered there was a bookshelf with books on sales and finance and wanted to borrow some to
brainwash Toph.
Seeing Jacquelin acting so secretly surprised her.
She knew that Jacquelin was someone who would never work overtime. Her diligent behavior on a day off was
definitely suspicious, so she had quietly followed her.
"Ms. Renee..." Jacquelin's smile faded away, her voice strained. "If there's nothing, I'll be leaving now!"
"Stop." Renee's voice was cold. "What do you have in your hands?"
Jacquelin's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively tried to hide the documents behind her.
It was too late. Renee suddenly grabbed her wrist, and the documents fell to the floor. Alongside them, a small USB
drive dropped as well!
Renee narrowed her eyes, instantly understanding what was happening.
"Is this client data? Are you intending to steal client data?!"
