“First, let’s resolve the issue with Grist Group’s problematic beverage,” Zuko stated.
The suggestion took aback Fred.
“The ‘Rose Dew’ beverage, your renowned product. You repackaged it and relaunched it, and you think there won’t
be any problems?” Zuko questioned.
“Ah, no, no.” Fred smiled wryly. “To be honest, I didn’t agree with this beverage being sold in the market in the first
place. But I couldn’t do anything about it. My men on the board of directors didn’t have the majority, so I had to let
them have their way.”
“You know what you should do next, right?” Zuko inquired.
Fred nodded seriously, understanding the course of action he needed to take.
He would hand over the formula of the problematic beverage, publicly admit the mistake, and willingly accept the
penalty from the relevant bureau. Furthermore, he would ensure that all the responsible individuals faced the

While Fred knew that Zuko’s motivation was likely driven by seeking justice for Lina, he also recognized the broader
benefits to the market environment. His involvement in rectifying the situation could be seen as an honorable act.
Fred said with a smile. “Mr. Hamerton, is there a second condition?”
Zuko gazed at him intently before replying, “The second condition. The Grist Group’s tracking devices are quite
intrusive.”
Fred felt a wave of anxiety wash over him. Was this Zuko’s way of settling old scores with him?
“When you assume control of the Grist Group, refrain from using these devices on your employees any longer.
Everyone deserves a certain level of privacy,” said Zuko.
“Yes, understood!” Fred agreed, realizing the importance of respecting privacy.
“But I need you to use this system to investigate someone for me,” Zuko added.
Fred looked up, confused, as Zuko uttered the name clearly from his lips, “Gia Chapman!”

After listening to Renee’s account, Toph noticed her trembling shoulders due to fear and hesitation. He instinctively
wanted to reach out and offer comfort, but he hesitated, fearing it might be too sudden or inappropriate.
Instead, his hand hovered in the air for a moment before gently patting her shoulder twice, withdrawing it swiftly.
“If that’s the case, why don’t you tell Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda the truth?” he suggested, concerned for her
well-being.
“I dare not…” Renee’s voice choked. “I’m afraid of my father. If this matter gets out of hand, he’ll really harm my
mother!”
“Then why did you tell me?” asked Toph.
“Because…” Renee looked up with glistening eyes.
She bit her lip, her small face involuntarily blushing and her heart pounding. She did not dare say it. She could not
tell him that it was because she trusted him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was an inexplicable trust, an entanglement of fate.
From the moment she first saw him, it felt like she already knew he was someone worthy of lifelong trust.
However, with her background, could she be deserving of the youngest Hamerton heir who dazzled in the crowd?
She could only fantasize about it, and once she woke up, life would have to go on.
“Because… it’s suffocating if I keep it in me,” Renee said softly. “Toph, I beg you not to tell others about this. Don’t
worry. I won’t covet the Thompsons’ assets. Those belong to Pamela. I won’t touch them!
“I only ask that you keep it a secret… My mother has already found a suitable kidney. As long as my father agrees,
she can undergo the surgery.
“After the surgery, I won’t have any worries. Everything can come to light then, and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson can
punish me as they wish!”
“Renee…” Toph felt uneasy hearing this but quickly realized that Renee must have her reasons for bringing him to
Jangasas.
Could it be related to the real Pamela?
“Renee!” Toph looked at her. “Do you know… the whereabouts of Pamela?”
“Mm!” Renee nodded firmly. “I do have a lead. It’s someone named Gia Chapman, and she’s in Jangasas!”
