Cordelia comforted Linda for a while before lifting her eyes and noticing Melvin’s grim face.
She swiftly kicked Zephyr’s foot under the table and signaled him.
Zephyr quickly caught on to Melvin’s expression, and the couple exchanged knowing smiles. They had a rough idea
now. It didn’t matter if it was the legitimate Pammy or not. Melvin was undoubtedly the mastermind behind
everything.
As they left the house, Renee stopped the bodyguards from following them. She grabbed Toph’s hand and hurriedly
ran toward the beach. If she didn’t do this, Toph would never believe that such a pale and weak body could possess
such power!
When they reached the beach, even the strong second grandson of the Hamertons felt fatigued. But Renee
remained unaffected. Her vacant eyes stared coldly at the foggy sea. Renee bit her lip, her body trembling.
Toph cautiously approached her. “Pammy, are you okay?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer body instinctively trembled upon hearing him call her “Pammy”.
Renee wrapped her arms around herself and slowly sank down on the sandy beach. After a long while, she finally
turned her face to look at him. Her lips moved, and she spoke softly. “Toph…”
Toph’s expression turned serious, “Pammy, have you gotten yourself into trouble? Tell me, I promise to help you!”
Their eyes met.
Renee was teetering on the edge of collapse. Pretending to be someone else was torturous, and she had come to
realize that the two brothers were incredibly astute. She couldn’t deceive them any longer.
Rather than being exposed, Renee would rather confess herself.
And so, she had pretended not to notice when Toph discreetly stole her mug.
Renee had believed that the DNA report would reveal the truth, but she never anticipated that Melvin would tamper
with Nicholas’ sample and use his instead. Melvin and Renee were father and daughter, connected by blood, so the
DNA report had deceived everyone again.
Her eyes turned red, and she took a deep breath, reassuring herself that it would all come to an end. She pulled
Toph aside to explain herself. “Toph, I need to tell you something…”
Toph looked at her in silence, attentive to her every word.
Suddenly, a phone call interrupted the peace.
Renee snapped back to reality and retrieved her phone from her pocket. The unknown number on the screen froze
her in place.
Renee glanced at Toph and moved a distance away. She only dared to answer the call after making sure Toph
wasn’t following her and couldn’t hear her conversation.
“Hello?”
“You disobedient girl!” The man on the other end gritted his teeth. “You dare defy me! Well, I’m heading to the
hospital to remove your mother’s oxygen mask now!”
“No…” Renee pleaded, lowering her voice. “I’ll do whatever you ask. Please, just let my mother go!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was silence on the other end.
“I haven’t gone against you!” Renee hurriedly explained. “I brought Toph along to… build a closer relationship with
him. I can secure a portion of the Hamerton Group for you in the future…”
“Hmph! How can I trust your intentions?” Melvin growled. “I’ll give you one more chance. You must ensure Linda
signs the transfer of shares this week. I’ll have someone watching you. And remember, if you dare to pull any
tricks, I’ll kill your mother!”
Renee trembled as she hung up the call. Someone tapped her shoulder from behind, causing her to scream in
fright.
Toph frowned, his expression filled with mixed emotions as he looked at her.
Although he hadn’t listened to the conversation, her facial expressions gave him an inkling of what had transpired.
As if awoken from a shocking dream, Renee burst into tears and threw herself into Toph’s arms.
“I’m scared.” Renee sobbed. “I’m really scared.”
Toph collected his emotions and hesitantly lifted his hand, gently patting her head. “I’m here. Everything will be
alright.”
