Kasey glanced downward. She didn't appear extraordinary to Elijah. Instead, she harbored only grievances and discontent.Unknown to Jacquelin, Zuko had noticed her taking photos and discreetly signaled his bodyguards to remove her. But before any of this could unfold, Kasey made a "heroic" move of her own.Zuko smiled at the couple and turned to leave. Lena followed him.When they reached a secluded place, Zuko stopped in his tracks and asked, "Have you engraved everything I told you?"Lena nodded earnestly."Under no circumstances should you let Renee get close to her.""I understand." Lena's gaze darkened. "Taking these precautions in advance is the right move. Renee isn't thinking clearly, so who knows what she might do. And now that Lina is pregnant, we have to be even more careful!"Zuko looked at her and said cryptically, "It seems like you genuinely care about Lina."Lena did not say anything."Why?""Because..." Lena lowered her head, her voice soft. "Because Lina has

In the previous investigation involving Kaitlyn, it was discovered that she had covert connections with a group of individuals. These individuals were part of a small gang hailing from Centrolis, consisting of low-level thugs.Subsequently, when Kaitlyn leaped off the cliff, these individuals dispersed and vanished without a trace.Given Nicholas' influence, he could have easily captured them all, but he deemed it unnecessary. They were merely insignificant figures unlikely to cause any major trouble.It came as a surprise they had now resurfaced in the black market."Ian has already interrogated these individuals," Nicholas mentioned, sipping his tea. "They lack connections and were simply making a living by engaging in minor disruptions and extorting protection fees. Eventually, they entered the illegal drug trade, enticed by its profits, which led them to band together."Renee previously contacted them."Zuko's expression darkened as he listened in silence."She asked them to

Toph's comic series hadn't been updated for a few days. The comic platform had been promoting it because it had gained more than 100,000 views and a growing fanbase.In spite of it, with the sudden lack of updates, not only did the platform's interests suffer—leading to his removal from the recommended list—but it also sparked discontent among many fans.People criticized him in the comment section, calling him unprofessional. Certain haters even went so far as to insult his family for generations.Zuko's assistant informed him of this matter. Just as Zuko was about to involve the PR team to address the situation, he realized that someone had already taken action to manage the negative comments."Mr. Hamerton, should we proceed with our plan?" Zuko hesitated. "Can you find out who's behind this?"The PR team immediately went into action and soon came up with an answer."The address is a studio," an IT staff member replied. "The method is a bit crude. Deleting negative comments

Toph nodded silently, his energy seemingly drained, as he followed Zuko.The two brothers drove to the outskirts.The sky was already getting dark. The colors of sunset gradually faded, leaving behind a deep indigo evening sky.Zuko set up the camping tent and called Toph over for dinner.The outskirts were calm, and soon, the night sky sparkled with countless stars.Toph paused, realizing it was just the two of them. It felt like they were back in their childhood.In their youth, they would enjoy carefree moments together in a private garden within Irwin Manor, often camping there. Back then, the night sky had been filled with stars and abundant fireflies.Toph's mood gradually improved, and he appeared to be smiling.Zuko said gently, "Toph, it's just us now. I want to ask you something honestly.""Yeah?""Can you and Renee still make it work?"Toph hesitated, his expression changing once more. His voice quivered as he replied, "Zuko, I..."Seeing him like this, Zuko unde

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 scattered all around. The litter of small kittens had grown, and they were now lively and watchful, their round eyes 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 f

"N-No... No..." Jacquelin shivered.She and Renee were birds of a feather. If news spread about her trying to steal client data, Renee, as a witness, might get dragged into the situation.The seasoned members of the board of directors would likely blow this out of proportion, and Renee might struggle to defend herself later.Jacquelin had a sudden idea. Instead of dealing with this on her own, it might be smarter to involve Renee and split the profits!She composed herself and gazed at Renee. "Frankly, I can't bear being at the Thompson Group any longer, but I refuse to back down! Even if I leave, I want the Thompson Group's reputation in this industry to suffer."I intended to sell the client data. Earning some cash would be nice, but the crucial part is that our peers should be aware the Thompson Group deals in client data trafficking. It might deter potential partners down the line!"Renee was shocked. "This is illegal!"Jacqueline smiled maliciously. "If you and I don't say

Renee smirked and placed Lena's file back. She turned to urge Jacquelin, "Are you done?"Jacquelin was somewhat afraid but still mustered the courage to pull out some documents. She also retrieved electronic versions from the computer.After completing these tasks in haste, they hurriedly left the HR department.Renee was aware of the surveillance cameras' blind spots near the HR department entrance, so she skillfully avoided them. Little did she know, a pair of eyes was watching the screen with a smile at that very moment.-Three days later, the Thompson Group's board meeting took place as usual.Although Renee rarely attended these meetings, she was present this time, as was Zuko. When Renee entered the meeting room, her gaze met Zuko's, causing her to shiver momentarily. However, she quickly composed herself and sat as if nothing had happened.With everyone gathered, Zuko stood up and addressed the board with a chuckle. "Today's main topic is the Thompson Group's future deve

Meanwhile, Zuko observed the situation calmly as if it had nothing to do with him. His indifferent attitude perplexed the board members.Renee recomposed herself and sneered, "Jade, you don't want to fetch it because you know Lena's personnel file is blank, right?"Jade glanced at her with a disdainful smile."Who knows if someone like Lena has a clean past?!" Renee turned hysterical. "If her background is spotless, why wouldn't she dare include her parents' names? Why wouldn't she dare to reveal her past?!"She's hiding it deliberately! Don't think that I don't know anything since I'm rarely here. I know that this is against the Thompson Group's regulations!"At this point, a few board members chimed in."That's right! She's quite suspicious. Is she really from the sales department?""We're a big corporation, after all. We should be cautious about personnel matters!""Ms. Neale, perhaps you could help us fetch that employee's information. Maybe there's a misunderstanding. If w

Toph hadn't heard from Renee in days. Slowly, he realized their relationship could never return to what it once was.During this time, he came to understand a few things. Since their relationship had taken its course, it was best to let things unfold naturally. Not pushing too hard might show respect for their relationship and preserve their last shreds of dignity.Furthermore, he found something he enjoyed.He could chat about comics with Arya daily and discuss plots. When he got stuck, Arya would draw the characters with him. His comic had started serialization again, and with Arya's help, he had made some changes that led to a steady increase in viewership. While it hadn't reached the previous 100,000-plus mark, watching the data steadily rise gave Toph a great sense of accomplishment.Most importantly, he could be himself around Arya.She didn't pressure him with complicated theories or push him to compete for control of the Hamerton Group. In Arya's eyes, family and happiness

They agreed to meet at the coffee shop near the Thompson Group the next day.Renee wore a white outfit and appeared tired. She arrived before Toph and patiently waited for him by the window.This coffee shop used to be their regular spot, and this seat was their usual place. However, everything had changed, even though the setting remained the same.When Toph entered the coffee shop and saw Renee by the window, it felt like he had been transported back in time for a moment. She held her cup carefully, her gaze hesitant as she looked at him, not daring to speak.A pang shot through Toph's heart, like needles pricking him.He walked over slowly and sat across from her. When Renee saw him, she froze for a moment and then smiled, pushing a vanilla latte toward him."This is your favorite," she said.Toph glanced at it and smiled wryly.It was not his favorite.He loved the rich and sweet macchiato. He had only said he liked it when he brought her here for the first time. After tha
