Cordelia had prepared a rose jelly dessert specifically for Zephyr. How could Zephyr bear to share it?Zuko also got a bowl of dessert for his younger brother. Toph set his phone aside, picked up the food, and enjoyed it with his older brother, expressing his satisfaction.Cordelia said, looking at Zuko, "You came back so late today. Did you see Lina home?""Yeah," Zuko replied, pausing to think about Nicholas' expression. He turned it into a joke and shared it with his parents.Cordelia smiled helplessly and glanced at Zephyr.Zephyr suddenly remembered the way Rowan used to look at him. It seemed that all fathers-in-law felt the same way...Fortunately, he didn't have a daughter. If he did, his son-in-law would surely suffer.From his son's perspective, Zephyr had an idea...Zephyr smirked, sat down next to Zuko, and gently placed his hand on his shoulder. He whispered, "Nicholas is quite petty... Son, didn't your grandfather give you the silver needles?"Zuko was taken abac

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!Over the course of two years, the incident gradually faded from the fickle masses' memories. However, no one

The assistant on the other end stammered, "Abigail… Uh... He's indeed in Centrolis."Abigail was delighted, but her assistant's next sentence brought her crashing down. "But... it seems like he has a girlfriend.""What!?""That girl is an intern in the Thompson Group, working on the film studio project team."...Lina had been busy all morning, finally getting a moment to catch her breath and take a sip of water. Just as she was about to relax, a colleague rushed over to inform her, "Lina, your mother is downstairs arguing with someone!""What!?" Lina almost choked on her water.Renee quickly approached and patted her on the back, speaking softly, "Cuz, you go down and handle it. I'll stay here and keep an eye on things.""Okay!""It's probably not Aunt Linda," Renee reassured her. "It's likely Aunt Melissa. The people at the front desk can be snobbish. When you go down, try not to argue with them. Keep your composure as much as you can. We'll sort it out later!"Lina smiled

Amelia and the others stood frozen in place, feeling as if countless needles were pricking them. The weight of their public condemnation threatened to make them faint.As Linda turned her gaze toward Melissa and Lina, noticing their intimately intertwined hands, she felt an unexpected twinge of pain. However, she quickly put on a gentle smile."Let your mother come in," she said softly.Lina widened her eyes, slightly taken aback, and smiled at Melissa. "Shall we go in together?""No, no, it's alright..." Melissa felt embarrassed by the trouble she had caused. "Lina, I just wanted to come and see you today. I didn't expect to cause any trouble. You should go back to work, don't worry about me. I—""Since you're already here, let's go up together." Linda's voice was gentle, but each word struck Melissa's heart.Melissa looked up at her. When their eyes met, it felt as if a thousand words converged in that instant. Linda's anger, resentment, and helplessness mixed with Melissa's sh

The group behind them sensed something was amiss, particularly Mollie. Wasn't she supposed to be promoted and taken to a higher floor? What did this detour to a small path mean?Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Mollie approached Linda humbly. "Mrs. Thompson, where are we going?"Linda glanced around before fixing her gaze on Mollie with a faint smile on her lips. "I think this place is just right.""Huh?""Didn't you say it takes two to tango just now?" Linda's eyes flickered with a hint of fierceness.Confused, Mollie couldn't comprehend the meaning behind Linda's words. Before she could react, she saw a flash of intensity in Linda's eyes!Suddenly, Linda raised her hand and delivered a powerful slap across Mollie's face!Mollie stood there in shock, her cheek stinging with pain.The people behind them were too stunned to utter a word. Even Lina was dumbfounded, her eyes fixed on Linda.Linda sneered, deliberately enunciating each word. "Now, tell me, does a slap n
