Lina gripped the hem of her clothes, her fingertips trembling slightly.
“As expected, she tampered with Renee’s computer,” she said in a low voice, “There’s a lot of company information
on Renee’s computer, and she had no guard up against Kaitlyn!”
“That’s likely.” The detective nodded. “After Kaitlyn stole the data, she intentionally leaked it to the rival company.
And that little-known small company was formed by the gang members we’ve interrogated. Their aim was to
whitewash themselves, while the mastermind behind them is Kaitlyn!”
Lina took a sharp breath and leaned against Zuko weakly.
“Is split personality really this frightening?” Cordelia murmured, “She’s completely like a different person!”
“Yes.” Zephyr looked at her. “I think the only solution now is to find her and restrain her.”
“Renee has already contacted a rehabilitation center,” Zuko said. “But her intention is to accompany her mother
there and take care of her.”
Cordelia was appalled. “That’s not acceptable! We can’t involve Renee in this further. She’s supposed to marry
Toph!”
“Mom, weren’t you the one suggesting they postpone…”
“We thought Kaitlyn had some ulterior motives at that time, and your mom and I were worried that Toph would be
deceived. As such, we suggested postponing their marriage,” Zephyr said in a heavy tone. “Now that the truth is
clear, Kaitlyn doesn’t have any ulterior motives. She’s just mentally ill. It’s better if Toph marries Renee sooner. At
least our family can protect her.”
Lina and Zuko exchanged a smile and gently intertwined their fingers.

rehabilitation center, so she’d rather accompany her even if it means… breaking up with Toph.”
“Don’t worry, mom!” Lina pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll take care of this!”
Zuko had not reacted yet when he saw Lina call Ian and speak like the Thompson heiress she was.
“Uncle Ian, I need your help with something… Please have your men locate Kaitlyn immediately!
“Yes, you can inform some of your friends from the old path if necessary. Please, ask them for a favor. I’ll definitely
visit them soon to thank them!”
After she finished, she put away her phone and looked at Zuko with a light smile. “You don’t have to worry about
this. Just take care of Toph. With the Thompsons’ influence, finding a person shouldn’t be too difficult.
“But if Kaitlyn is evading our pursuit using her other personality, locating her might be a bit challenging.”
Zuko stared at her, speechless.
Lina waved her hand in front of his eyes. “Hey, what’s wrong with you?”
Zuko smiled and whispered in her ear, “Nothing.”
“Then why are you staring blankly?”
“I was just thinking…” He squinted and chuckled. “It’s great to have a mob boss’ daughter as my wife!”
There was still no news of Kaitlyn in the following days.
Renee had searched every place she could think of, including the old still no sign of her mother.
She could not eat or sleep and was extremely anxious.
Toph was still lying in the hospital room, and her mother caused all of this.
Renee looked at the hospital ward through the window. She could not help crying.
Lina continued to send people to search for Kaitlyn while she stayed with Renee in the hospital.
One day, Zuko came and waved at Lina from a distance to gesture not to let Renee see him.
Lina was puzzled, so she found an excuse and left. Zuko took her to a secluded corner in the fire escape corridor.
“What’s going on?”
“Uncle Ian couldn’t reach you just now…”
Lina checked her phone and found several missed calls. She had put her phone on silent mode and didn’t hear any
of them.
“Did he find Kaitlyn?”
“Yes.” Zuko lowered his voice. “His men had been watching the old city area, and they finally found Kaitlyn’s traces
yesterday.”
Lina sighed in relief, but she was also puzzled.
Kaitlyn had been missing for four days. How had she managed during this time? Even if she had a split personality,
could that personality survive without eating or drinking?
Zuko sensed her doubt and explained, “She took Renee’s money and the jewelry Toph had given Renee and sold
them to a jewelry store.
“Uncle Ian said some jewelry store owners contacted him proactively to show him pictures they took because those
weren’t regular jewels. The store owners didn’t dare to buy them, but they took pictures. Among them… was the
ring my mom gave, Le Fari.”
“What?” Lina was astonished.

“That ring is invaluable, so the sharp-eyed owner naturally wouldn’t dare to buy it. But there’s a silver lining to this,
as the store owner kept Kaitlyn’s contact information. That’s how Uncle Ian’s men managed to trace her to the old
city area.”
Lina sighed.
Renee was her cousin, yet their lives took completely different paths.
While she was separated from her parents at a young age, she was lucky to be raised lovingly by her adoptive
parents.
And Renee?
She wasn’t welcomed into the world with hope. Melvin saw her as an instrument, and Kaitlyn had two personalities.
She got stuck in between, and it was truly tough.
“Oh, by the way, I need to tell you something.” Zuko ruffled her hair. “Chris and Lena will be back soon.”
“Really?” Lina finally had a smile on her face.
“Yeah. Lena’s injuries have almost healed. According to Chris, she’s been insisting on returning to Centrolis these
past few days, saying she wants to see you.” Zuko leaned over and said half-jokingly, “It seems my wife’s charm is
quite something, huh?”
“Zuko!” Lina playfully punched him. “What nonsense are you spouting? Didn’t we agree to set them up?”
“Let’s not talk about that. Chris will be sad at the mention.” Zuko could not hold back his amusement. “Once those
two return, you’ll get to witness the shattered heart of a pure-hearted young man!”
Lina giggled.
“Honey, there’s something I need to remind you of!” Zuko suddenly remembered something. “When Lena returns,
don’t let her get close to Renee. According to Chris, Lena’s already figured out that Kaitlyn sent the attackers, and
she’s holding a grudge. She’s determined to avenge this.”
Zuko smiled faintly. “Honey, only you can control her.”
