At that moment, Arya rushed over from around the corner."I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She had no makeup on and was wearing sunglasses. "I lost track of time while painting. Can you forgive me, Sephy?"She panted after running and hadn't even washed the paint off her hands.But Persephone smiled as soon as she saw her and hugged her like a puppy.Toph stood next to them, wearing a light smile.The PE teacher looked at Arya. "Sephy, is she your family, too?""Yes!" Persephone nodded.Arya blushed and instinctively looked at Toph, then quickly looked away.However, Persephone suddenly had a thought—hadn't she brought Arya to meet her PE teacher today? But what if she liked her uncle more?Despite his usual teasing, he was very protective of her when it mattered!She frowned and decided not to introduce them as her parents had asked. Teachers could be replaced, but she only had one uncle who was so close to her in the entire world!Thus, she grabbed Toph and Arya's hands on each side

Persephone looked at that man shyly. She had many questions flashing through her mind at the moment.'Mommy said I should have good manners. Should I call him "sir" now?'No, he looks much older than my uncle! So should I call him "mister"?'But I've smudged my whole ice cream on his jacket. Maybe I should say sorry first?'The ice cream was vanilla-flavored, and she had taken only a few licks.The man spoke first. "Little girl, you're Persephone, right?" His voice was deep, like a cello. She was shocked.He smiled mysteriously and glanced at his jacket, then heard a man and a woman screaming, "Sephy! Are you okay?"Nervously, Toph and Arya rushed over. They checked if she was hurt, then noticed the ice cream on the man's black jacket."We're sorry, sir!" Toph apologized, nodding. "Your jacket is dirty now. How about we exchange phone numbers? I'll have someone send you a new one after I buy it!"The man shook his head. His eyes were enigmatic, impossible to read.Toph studie

Toph was troubled. He hadn't expected this project to be so complicated. All he wanted was to surprise Arya."There are a few things I need to tell you," Zuko said in his usual serious tone, getting straight to business. He pulled up the theme park on his computer's map, urging Toph to look."Take a look at this... Geographically, this theme park is right at the intersection of the new and old town. It doesn't have a strategic location advantage."Nowadays, transportation is well-developed, so people who want to go to theme parks tend to choose larger ones outside the city. And if they prefer staying in the city, there are a couple of options with convenient transportation that can meet their needs."Zuko couldn't stop talking, and Toph was struggling to stay awake.Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Zuko reached his conclusion. "So, I don't think this project is profitable. Do you understand?"Toph jumped up, suddenly more alert. "Oh... Huh?"Toph asked, "Bro, must it

Linda shook her head. She hadn't spoken much with Daniel over the years. However, he was always kind to her when they were young.She recalled a time when she was at university, and Daniel, still in primary school, took money from home to find her in Jangasas all on his own. When Nicholas was in prison, he would frequently call her to comfort her, fearing she would be sad.His way of thinking was childlike but pure. During her lowest moments, she felt the warmth of family through him.Later, she would visit him in Cumulus City. They would enjoy joyful conversations with her sibling on the famous food street.But as time passed, they grew apart.She had only heard rumors of his involvement in a family dispute. Despite being the least likely to inherit the family assets, he emerged victorious at a young age. People described him as cunning and heartless, showing no mercy to those who crossed him. He became a powerful figure in Cumulus City.Yet, he still held great respect for her.

Linda suddenly felt uneasy and quickly looked toward Daniel. However, Daniel's gaze wasn't fixed on Persephone. He seemed to be gazing aimlessly, but his expression showed a subtle hint of emotion.Noticing Linda's distress, Cordelia took her cold hand and spoke softly, making sure Daniel could hear her too. "Linda, no matter what, we're still family. I remember when Daniel was a young boy."He secretly used our family's money to take a train and visit you in Jangasas during winter's first snowfall. He wasn't warmly dressed and ended up shivering at the train station. He was even mistaken for a runaway child and sent to a welfare institution."Your bond is strong, and I believe Daniel wouldn't do anything wrong."Daniel glanced at her, and Cordelia continued with a smile, emphasizing her point. "However, people can change."Mr. Quimby, you and Linda can change. While blood is thicker than water, sometimes justice takes precedence over family. You must have heard of the Thompson fa
