Lina was taken aback. “What?”

“The brand manager of LC Skincare specifically retrieved the store surveillance footage,” Carter explained. “The

footage showed that two employees colluded and placed the fake face cream on the counter with markings on the

packaging. The cream didn’t sell until your classmate, Chapman, walked into the duty-free shop and specifically

asked for it. That’s when they sold it to her.

“And the substance in the face cream is actually a type of drug. It’s added after being highly refined, causing a

chemical reaction. Just a small amount is enough to make the skin ulcerate and never recover.”

Zuko furrowed his brow. “Uncle Carter, have you found out who those two people are?”

“Of course,” Carter smiled. “Those two individuals were captured during the police operation to apprehend Justin.”

Zuko and Lina were both stunned.

“They… are Justin’s henchmen?”

“That’s correct.”

“So you mean…” Lina’s expression changed slightly. “Gia not only has a connection with Melvin but also with

Justin?”

“Yes,” Zuko said in a low voice. “It just goes to show how cunning she is! She was deceiving you while using these

people to harm you!”

Lina fell silent.

Melvin and Justin were captured in this operation, but there was no conclusive evidence to arrest Gia. A piece of

surveillance footage could not prove much. Moreover, those two employees had already become scapegoats. It

seemed that it would take more time to get rid of Gia.

“Don’t think too much about it,” Zuko reassured, patting her shoulder. “Leave this to me. I’ll deal with her.”

“What can you do?”

“Well, for now, I don’t have a plan.” He smiled. “But no one can let my woman suffer even a bit of grievance!”

Carter also smiled. “I heard that Lina shot Justin during the operation. It’s truly a destined outcome. Your shot this

time can be considered as avenging yourself!”

Lina rested her head against Zuko’s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and her smile was particularly sweet.

The banquet continued until it was almost midnight, and slowly, everyone started to leave. Only Zuko, Toph, Lina,

and Renee remained.

Zuko had already set his sights on a quiet, elegant small room filled with books and paintings. Most importantly,

there was only one small bed.

He discreetly led Lina to this room, avoiding everyone’s attention.

Upon entering the room, Lina felt somewhat surprised. The environment was excellent, but the room was too small.

It didn’t seem like a guest room but more like a study.

She looked around and casually picked up the white jade ornament on the table. After examining it, she placed it

back down. Then, she turned to Zuko, her eyes filled with confusion. “His Majesty… arranged for us to stay here?”

Zuko maintained a poker face and nodded. “Yes.”

“But it’s too small, isn’t it? There’s only one room. We—”

“It’s okay,” Zuko interrupted her, stepping forward to embrace her. His large hands subtly roamed her back. “We

can sleep in just one room.”

Lina was unaware of the desires that consumed a man’s heart after he drank, especially when faced with such a

captivating girl like her.

Zuko’s throat tightened, his lips were dry, and her scent overwhelmed his senses. All the blood in his body rushed to

a certain place…

He held her tightly, his deep voice exuding charisma as he whispered softly in her ear, “It’s getting late… Let’s

sleep, shall we?”
