His elder brother’s management was not good. The Grist Group had actually been in decline for a long time. If it

were not for his hard work in supporting it all these years, the Grist Group would not be where it was today.

Just as things were settling down, another issue with a batch of beverage formulas emerged, and now Violet’s

problem surfaced. Fred did not want to be a pawn for others anymore!

“If he really is Zuko…” he murmured to himself, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Immediately, he picked up the phone and called his assistant, saying, “Book me a table at the same hotel as last

time! And find a way to arrange a meeting with Lina Jenner for me…

“Forget it.” He changed his mind. “I’ll go and meet her myself!”

Lina had been cautious of everyone from the Grists because of Violet, so going to meet her in person would show

his sincerity.

After hanging up, Fred went to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, tidying his hair and smiling in

satisfaction.

In Centrolis…

Toph was leaning on a crutch in the hospital, hobbling along the wall. He held the phone between his ear and

shoulder while bitterly complaining to Zuko.

“I can’t take it anymore. Our parents show affection for each other every day as if I don’t exist! Last time, when

mom said she wanted to have an omelet, dad immediately went to make it, making five or six omelets of various

degrees of doneness for mom to choose from! But when I said I wanted one, he actually asked Wendy to make it

for me!”

Zuko listened, feeling a bit confused. “What’s wrong with Wendy making it? Didn’t we both eat the meals she made

since we were little?”

“How can it be the same?” Toph insisted.

“But… How do our parents showing affection relate to your injury?” asked Zuko.

Toph mumbled for a while before explaining, “It’s just that I can’t stand them showing affection, and I wanted to

play a prank… I bought an inflatable hammer like the ones kids play with and tried to ‘break up the lovebirds’. But,

bro, that was just a toy, and I didn’t even touch them!”

Zuko sighed deeply, palming his forehead.

He finally understood the cause and effect—Toph had played a joke on their parents, bought an inflatable hammer,

and tried sneak up on them from behind, wanting to “break up the lovebirds”, only to be wiped out by their father.

Zephyr had strong alertness from years of training in martial arts. He was instantly aware of any movement behind

him, and it had become his reflex despite this age. When he heard that there was someone behind them, he swiftly

held Cordelia by the shoulders and took her hiding to the side.

Toph was sent flying from the momentum since he went in too hard, rolling down the stairs with the inflatable

hammer, which was squashed beneath him, ending its short-lived existence. Toph also twisted his foot and yelled in

pain…

“Sigh, so you know how difficult it is for me to be alone at home now, right? Hurry back and control them!” Toph

pleaded.

“I can’t control them.” Zuko chuckled lightly. “Well, forget it. We’re both accidents to them. You have to accept the

reality!”

Toph mumbled on the other end of the line and suddenly went silent.

“Toph?” Zuko called out, “Hello? Toph!”

“Shh, don’t make a sound!” Toph hurriedly whispered, ignoring the pain in his leg, as he hobbled to follow someone.

He then hid in a corner and spoke in a lowered voice after a while. “Zuko, guess who I saw?”

“Who?”

“Undetermined real or fake Thompsons’ Pammy!”

“What?” Zuko was also surprised. “She’s at the hospital?”

Why would Pamela be at the hospital? Moreover, this hospital was the joint hospital their grandfather had invested

in when he came to Centrolis. Pamela appearing there was like falling into their domain.

“Hehe, bro, this was easier than expected!” Toph said excitedly, “Pammy’s fallen into the trap herself. I must take

her to do a DNA test!”

Zuko was worried. “Can you handle it? You’re injured now, and besides, do you think Pamela went out without any

bodyguards? Don’t take it lightly!”

“Don’t worry!” Toph kept his eyes on Pamela. “She’s alone. Forget bodyguards. She doesn’t even have a maid…

And she seems to be in a hurry, as if…”

Toph’s eyes widened. “Eh? It seems like she’s heading to the inpatient department?”
