Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1086
"Toph, there's no need to go through all this trouble again." Renee spoke, her voice filled with sincerity. She looked into Toph's eyes and confessed, "I am not Pamela."Toph's hands trembled, almost causing the instant noodles to spill. Despite mentally preparing himself, hearing the admission directly from Renee still came as a shock.Renee extended her hand and continued. "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Renee Thompson. Thompson..."She paused, biting her lip before continuing, "As in Melvin Thompson's Thompson."A moment of silence hung in the air before Toph murmured, "So you're indeed Melvin's daughter."Renee questioned, "Indeed?"Toph looked up, explaining, "We always felt that you resemble him, so we made an educated guess, and it turned out to be correct."Renee lowered her head, a soft smile gracing her lips. "I hope I never resemble him."Taking a deep breath, Toph asked, his voice tinged with concern, "Why did you both conspire to deceive Uncle Nicho

"What?" Fred's eyes sparkled with excitement as he expressed his surprise.Zuko leaned forward, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips. "I said I'll help you rise to power! But there is one condition you must agree to."Fred furrowed his brows slightly, intrigued by Zuko's proposition.Despite the age difference, the young man standing before Fred exuded a certain aura that surpassed his own.Fred was well aware of Zuko's background as a Hamerton, and since arriving in Southeast Aciatic, he had learned about the intricate connections between the Hamertons and the royal family in the region. Zuko had been bestowed with a noble title from a young age.As a pragmatic person, Fred realized he had no other viable options but to cooperate with the young Count. He took a deep breath and nodded. "I will follow your lead, Mr. Hamerton!""Very well." Zuko poured coffee into a cup with a relaxed and elegant demeanor. He savored the taste and chuckled softly. "The flavor is quite go

"First, let's resolve the issue with Grist Group's problematic beverage," Zuko stated.The suggestion took aback Fred."The 'Rose Dew' beverage, your renowned product. You repackaged it and relaunched it, and you think there won't be any problems?" Zuko questioned."Ah, no, no." Fred smiled wryly. "To be honest, I didn't agree with this beverage being sold in the market in the first place. But I couldn't do anything about it. My men on the board of directors didn't have the majority, so I had to let them have their way.""You know what you should do next, right?" Zuko inquired.Fred nodded seriously, understanding the course of action he needed to take.He would hand over the formula of the problematic beverage, publicly admit the mistake, and willingly accept the penalty from the relevant bureau. Furthermore, he would ensure that all the responsible individuals faced the consequences.While Fred knew that Zuko's motivation was likely driven by seeking justice for Lina, he also

"Gia Chapman?" Toph was taken aback."Yes." Renee revealed what she knew. "I overheard my father mentioning this name multiple times on the phone, saying that he wanted to eliminate her. Before I came to Centrolis, my father gave me some money, and I secretly used it to bribe someone in the hospital for DNA testing. Gia provided the sample my father sent for testing."Toph widened his eyes in delightful surprise, clearly not focused on the name Gia. He looked at Renee and grinned openly. "I didn't expect this!"Renee was stunned. "What didn't you expect?""I didn't expect that you'd be capable of bribing someone when you look so naive and delicate," said Toph."I..." Renee was at a loss for words. She blushed and hurriedly lowered her gaze.Toph leaned closer, observing the fluttering eyelashes and cute freckles on her fair face. He couldn't help but smile, feeling as if the world's sunlight was shining on her, casting a unique halo."Toph..." Renee placed a finger on his chest,

Renee's hand had barely retreated when Toph swiftly caught hold of it and calmly placed it back on his arm."Toph—""I know there are plenty of great restaurants in Jangasas. Come on, let me treat you to a lavish meal!" Toph interrupted, pulling her along.Renee was momentarily stunned before a smile spread across her face as if she had just won the world."Renee, did you know that my parents met in Jangasas?" Toph continued to chat as they walked. "The hotel where they had their first date was called Regalia Hotel, and they had lobster risotto..."...When Zuko returned to the presidential suite, Lina had been unpacking and hadn't spoken to him since the afternoon.The atmosphere felt peculiar.He could sense a clear sense of detachment emanating from Lina. There were several instances when their eyes met, and Lina looked at him with suspicion.Zuko approached her, intending to say something, but the words eluded him. He could only manage a somewhat forced smile.His awkward

Zuko was interrupted by a sudden ringing of his phone. The screen displayed a string of numbers, causing Lina to be taken aback. However, she noticed the calm smile on Zuko's face."It's my younger brother," he explained in a low voice. "I remember his number, so I don't save it."Zuko was about to reject the call, but Lina stopped him. "He must have something important to tell you if he's calling.""What important matter could he have—""Answer it quickly!" Lina smiled gently. "I just finished washing some clothes. I'll go hang them up on the balcony!"Zuko observed Lina's delicate figure with complex emotions. After a moment of hesitation, he walked out of the room to answer the call.Before he could speak resentfully and ask, "What do you want?" the other end of the line was filled with Toph's rapid speech."Bro, no matter what you're doing right now, you have to let me finish..." Toph's voice came through.Zuko lowered his voice. "What's the matter?""Well..." Toph paused

"What's wrong?" The door opened slightly, and Lina peeked her head out. "Why are you hiding outside to make a call?"Zuko adjusted his smile to appear natural and casually draped his arm around her shoulder, guiding her inside. "Lina, there's something I need to tell you."Lina froze, meeting his gaze.While he held her hand, she could feel the warmth of his palm, but the intensity in his eyes left her bewildered. Her heart skipped a beat, and everything around them seemed to fade into silence.Zuko licked his lips, his voice low and husky, pausing between each word. "My name isn't Zeke Hamerton, and all the strange occurrences that happened to you after coming to Southeast Aciatic are connected to me..."Lina, I've been protecting you in my way."His hand gently caressed her face, tracing down to her collarbone, where he retrieved the necklace with a star pendant from her neckline."This is the star I gave you," he said, looking at her with warmth and adoration. "In truth, I am

"Lina, I'm not lying to you," Zuko's voice was hoarse as he maintained a certain distance, hesitant to approach her. "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to meet someone."After a while, Lina calmed down and noticed Zuko preparing to leave. She hurriedly grabbed a jacket and followed him.Several cabs were waiting outside the hotel, and one pulled up in front of them. Zuko opened the car door, but he sat in the passenger seat instead of sitting next to her in the backseat.From the back seat, Lina observed Zuko's sharp features, deep and resolute eyes, and broad back through the rearview mirror. She knew he must be sitting in the front with his arms crossed, just as he always did.Everything seemed familiar yet different at the same time, evoking indescribable emotions within Lina.Suddenly, she recalled the words Gia had spoken before. Gia had attended university to find a wealthy heir to date and marry, claiming that 80% of life's troubles could be solved with money. Lina had

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
