Zuko's face was as dark as the inked squid in the owner's aquarium. The owner's smile changed from mischievous to forced, then to a grimace. He then carried the plate of oysters to other customers.Zuko pursed his lips in exasperation. The oysters were freshly caught that morning, large, meaty, and perfectly grilled—undoubtedly delicious. But what would he do after eating them? His libido would be boosted, yet he would have no outlet to release it.He turned to look at Lina, who was eating a small scallop. She chuckled softly when the delicate tip of her nose lightly touched the shell. The sparkling sea reflected her profile, and her eyes were filled with all the beauty in the world.Zuko's heart raced a little as he licked his dry lips. He barely suppressed certain thoughts. He sat back beside her, but the fish didn't taste as good as before"What were you doing just now?" Lina said with a smile, "So many delicious dishes were served. I'll finish them all if you don't start eating

"Today, I saw him again. This time, I was cornered by debt collectors, and he came to my rescue like a brave warrior. He paid off my debts and gave me some money to live a good life..."Today, I sold a girl. I know I am walking down an irreversible path. It's a treacherous road, but I had no other choice... I remember someone once told me to live a good life, but I'm sorry, I won't be able to do it..."I sent my daughter to the countryside and send her money regularly. I know I'm not a good mother, but I hope my daughter can have the peaceful life I couldn't. That way, I won't let you down..."Nicholas Thompson."Lena took a deep breath and slowly closed the diary.The name Nicholas Thompson appeared several times in her mother's diary.Was he her father? He must be.Lena smiled but restrained it. Over the years, she had learned to hide her emotions, even when she was alone.She had finished most of the beer, and the fish soup was ready. There was some leftover rice in the kitc

Zuko stared at Lina in astonishment. She had brought him a can of green tea, but it felt like a scalding hot potato that could scorch his hands."What's wrong?" Lina smiled playfully. "You drink beverages from others, but when I give one to you, it's like poison. Are you that afraid?"Zuko quickly put the can down and reached for her hand. "Lina!"Lina turned away, and Zuko embraced her from behind. She struggled a bit but could not break free from his strong grip, so she surrendered and let him hold her. Although she stopped moving, her eyes glanced elsewhere."Lina," Zuko whispered into her ear. His low, husky voice carried a hint of remorse and innocence. "I don't know why she sent these to me.""Are the photos photoshopped?" she asked."Well..." Zuko was taken aback and truthfully admitted, "No."Lina turned to look at him, her cheeks a bit puffed up. "So, you really took her to the beach?""When… you were not around," Zuko explained incoherently, "She came to visit in Cent

Violet's time of death should have been two days ago, according to the police.She had been staying at a hotel, and two days ago, the housekeeping staff noticed that the "Do Not Disturb" sign was still on her door. This was not unusual, so they did not pay much attention. However, the sign was still there two days later, and the staff became suspicious.The hotel manager had knocked on the door, but there had been no answer. They then used the master key to open the door and discovered a horrifying scene inside."Her body had no external injuries," Fred lowered his voice as he spoke to Zuko and Lina from the police station. "But they found toxins in her blood after the forensic examination...""She was poisoned?" Lina found it puzzling. "Has the composition of the toxin been analyzed?""It's currently under investigation," Fred replied, leaning against the wall with a heavy heart.Although Fred was not on good terms with Violet's family, he was still a Grist. He did not want to s

Zuko asked, "Is this for me to review later?""No need," Janine pointed to the computer. "Just check it here!"Zuko plugged the USB flash drive into the computer with a puzzled expression and opened it.The data inside occupied a large part of the memory. At first, he thought they were ordinary reports, but the more he read, the more he sensed something amiss, especially with certain descriptions.Alarmed, Zuko paused, his finger hovering over the mouse. Then, he turned to Janine in surprise.Janine shook her head and glanced at her watch. "Took you 35 minutes and 20 seconds to react? Pammy would've figured it out in 15 minutes!"Zuko once again felt insignificant in the family.He said seriously, "Grandma, are these records of the Harpers embezzling charitable organizations?"Janine nodded with a solemn expression."When did you start investigating them?""Well..." Janine thought for a moment, not entirely sure.Her business acumen was always strong. When she sensed somethi
