Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Back in Centrolis, Toph had been waiting at the entrance of the Thompsons for quite some time. He was about to

lose his patience when he suddenly caught sight of a fair and petite figure.

He immediately perked up and quickly got out of the car, blocking the girl’s path.

The girl was caught off guard and visibly startled by him.

Toph was taken aback for a moment, finding her frightened appearance quite cute. She had fair and rosy cheeks, a

pair of beautiful, clear eyes, and shoulder-length hair, accentuating her pure and smart vibe.

Her appearance was not stunning but rather pleasing to the eyes. However, her lips appeared slightly pale, giving

the impression of poor nutrition.

Toph couldn’t help but show off his social skills. He waved his hand casually, crossed his arms at his waist, and

tossed his hair, revealing a mischievous smile. “Hey, Pammy!”

The girl stared at him blankly, instinctively crossing her arms in front of her chest and showing some wariness

toward him.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me?” Toph took a step closer. “It’s me, Toph! Hey, I came to your house with

my brother last time. You only remember him and not me?”

Pamela remained silent.

“And I’ve almost been coming to your house every day these past few days! You should be familiar with me, right?

It’s just that you seemed to be hiding in your room every time I came…”

Pamela examined him from head to toe, her expression relaxed slightly, but her hands in front of herself were still

up.

“I mean…” Toph slowed down his voice. “You shouldn’t be so biased! When you were a child, I played with you more

often than my brother did!”

Pamela took two steps back, her big eyes filled with caution.

Toph furrowed his brow. Before coming here today, he had decided to heroically sacrifice… his charm to fulfill the

mission his brother had asked of him. Since Zuko was unwilling to have a fake relationship with Pammy, then it

would be him!

As long as he could get even a single strand of hair from this girl.

After all this effort, however, the girl was still wary of him and looked at him as if he were crazy!

Toph could not understand it. By right, his looks were not bad at all. Since he was young, people always said he

resembled his maternal grandfather. One should know that his grandfather only turned into a pufferfish when he

got old. When he was young, he was a recognized handsome guy in Southeast Aciatic!

Moreover, he had plenty of girls chasing after him when he was in college. There were more than enough of them

lining up from east to west.

Why did his good looks not work on Pamela?

Toph refused to believe it!

He raised an eyebrow and decided to change his approach. He had been enchanting and cold just now, so now he

would try a campus heartthrob style… There must be one that suited this girl!

“Pammy, where do you want to go?” He spoke gently and smiled at her. “I drove here. Shall I take you?”

“Uh… there’s no need.” Pamela refused decisively and sidestepped him.

Toph was not giving up and intercepted her on the side. “Pammy, it’s not safe for you to be alone. It’s better if I

accompany you.”

“There’s really no need!”

“Hey, I’m telling you—”

Before Toph could finish his sentence, several burly men walked out from the gate and stood in front of Pamela.

He stood still in surprise.

Those men looked unfamiliar, but each one of them seemed like someone not to be messed with. They had shaved

heads and tattoos on their arms.

One of them, who appeared to be their leader, stepped forward with a cold and respectful demeanor, nodding

slightly to Toph.

“Mr. Toph.”

Toph was taken aback. “You know me?”

“You’re the second heir of the Hamertons. Who in Centrolis doesn’t know you?”

“Then you…”

“We’re ordered to protect Ms. Pamela. Please step back!”

Toph felt a sense of unease. He had been going in and out of the Thompsons’ residence just like he did at his own

home since he was a child. How could he not recognize the bodyguards hired by the family? He had never seen

these men before, so under whose order were they protecting Pamela?

Despite that, whether this was truly “protection” or something else entirely…

“Hmph, step back?” Toph sneered. “Since you know who I am, how dare you speak to me like this?

“I’m here to take Pammy out to play today. I’ve already informed Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda about it! Pammy

just returned to Centrolis and is still unfamiliar with everything. As her old friend, of course, I have to take her out

more!”

As he spoke, he approached to grab Pamela’s hand, but one of the bodyguards grasped his wrist tightly!

Caught off guard, Toph winced in pain, preparing to test his strength against this bulky man. However, a slender,

fair hand firmly slapped the bulky man’s shoulder!

“Stop it!”

Toph froze.

Although Pamela appeared delicate, she was quite fierce when it came to fighting.

The bulky man dared not disrespect her and immediately released Toph, stepping aside with his hands down at his

sides.

Before Toph could react, the Thompson driver pulled up in a car, and Pamela instantly hopped into it like a timid

rabbit.

The bodyguards followed closely behind and got into the car behind.

The cars moved slowly, departing from the private road in front of the villa.

Toph stood there dumbfounded. Just as the cars were about to disappear from sight, he noticed that the front car

briefly stopped, and a window seemed to roll down, but it quickly drove away again.

He sighed. The girl was like a doll encased in glass. He could see her but could not reach her.

…

10:00 p.m. was the scheduled time for Toph and Zuko’s phone call.

However, Zuko had been busy with inventory in the supermarket on this particular night, and it was already close to

midnight when he finished everything.

He pulled down the rolling shutter door, preparing to head back, when he noticed that he had over 20 missed calls

from Toph on his phone.

He called back, and his younger brother’s lazy voice came through. “Bro, can you please not bother me in the

middle of the night? I just fell asleep!”

“Weren’t you trying to reach me urgently?” asked Zuko.

“I…” Toph yawned and could not be bothered to explain. He quickly reported the situation. “I’ve exhausted all my

charms, Zuko, but I still can’t get close to Pammy!”

Zuko’s gaze darkened.

Toph continued, “There are several bodyguards at the Thompsons that I don’t know. They claim to be protecting

Pammy and don’t let me near her. And Pammy is also highly alert. I can’t get close to her. Every time I went to the

Thompsons’ house, I couldn’t even enter her room. I wanted to take a cup she used, but… the nanny around her

seemed to have eyes on the back of her head and took the cup away before I could grab it!”

Toph smirked. “Hehe… Bro, I think, perhaps, it’s up to you, her fiancé, to take action personally!”
