Gia clenched her fists, a confident smile appearing on her face. Thoughts filled her head after realizing that Ms.
Rene had a brother.
Renee came from a big family business, and if Gia could be with the son of that family, Zuko would mean nothing to
her.
Taking a deep breath, Gia had a strong desire to compete with Lina in everything, even when it came to men. She
wanted to surpass and step on her. Smirking with satisfaction, she picked up her book and hurriedly left the
classroom.
…
In Further Mathematics class, which was known to be challenging, even for many boys, Renee found enjoyment.
She understood the subject before the lecturer even explained it, effortlessly grasping concepts like calculus.
However, her understanding only remained on paper, as she struggled to answer questions when called upon. Her
panicked state brought tears to her eyes, entertaining her classmates, much to the lecturer’s annoyance.
After class, Renee secretly tore up her draft, sensing that something was about to happen. As expected, Gia
approached her, carrying two cups of coffee.

“Thanks,” Renee replied, aware that Gia was likely there because of the students’ discussions. Unbeknownst to her,
those students were actually arranged by Zuko to play their parts.
Taking a sip of the coffee, Renee suddenly coughed and spat it out. It tasted extremely bitter to her.
“It’s so bitter. It’s horrible!” Renee exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Gia found the coffee to be great and couldn’t understand why Renee found it bitter.
“Senior…”
“Ms. Rene, you don’t have to call me that. Just call me Gia!” Gia responded, smiling brightly.
Renee maintained a flat expression and silently observed Gia, realizing that her overly friendly smile was targeted
at the son of a boss who owned 50 mines.
With her innocent doe eyes, Renee gazed at Gia and asked, “Do you know my brother?”
“No,” Gia replied, not only because she didn’t know him but also because she hadn’t heard of such a wealthy family
in Jangasas. However, she understood from her classmates’ discussions that they must be powerful.
“I have a brother who’s even more handsome than celebrities. And he’s still single!” Renee remarked.
Gia couldn’t help but find Renee’s words amusing. The woman was being more generous than necessary.
Without hesitation, Renee suggested, “Senior, my coffee is horrible. Can I drink yours?”
Gia felt troubled by the request since she had already taken a sip, but Renee’s persistent innocence made her hand
over her cup to Renee.
“Thanks, senior!” Renee exclaimed, taking Gia’s cup of coffee. She then ran out of the classroom without looking
back, leaving Gia stunned.
Still in a daze, Gia stood motionless as she watched Renee’s hasty departure. Suddenly, her phone vibrated,
breaking her from her thoughts.
“Are you dead?” A cold voice came from the other end.
Startled, Gia lowered her voice and asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Thompson?”
“My daughter is in Jangasas right now… Why didn’t you tell me!?” Melvin’s voice sounded frustrated.
Confused, Gia scoffed and replied, “That’s too much, Mr. Thompson. I don’t even know what your daughter looks
like!”
“Renee, that damned girl…” Melvin criticized. “And that bastard Toph! They went together! They even got
bodyguards at the hospital before leaving! I can’t even get close to that woman’s ward now!”
Feeling annoyed, Gia replied, “Mr. Thompson, I don’t have time to hear about what’s happening in your life…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFuming with anger, Melvin took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Just as Gia was about to hang up, she
heard him mumbling, “Renee, that damned girl… Damned girl!”
‘Renee? Ms. Rene?’ Gia’s heart started racing as she considered the possibility.
Could it be a coincidence? Renee took her coffee. What was she up to?
“Hey, are you dead!?” Melvin scolded. “You can’t do anything right!”
Gia’s voice trembled. “Mr. Thompson, don’t scold me first… I think I might’ve seen the Renee you’re talking about!”
…
Renee discarded the coffee she had taken from Gia and kept only the lid. Zuko and Toph pulled over in their car to
pick her up.
“I got it!” Renee exclaimed, smiling at Zuko and Toph. She handed them the item in a transparent bag.
“I watched Gia drink this with my own eyes and took this from her,” she explained. “Let’s go straight to the hospital
for the test!”
Toph frowned, expressing concern. “But we don’t have Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda’s…”
“We don’t need them.” Zuko chuckled. “Let’s use Renee’s. She and Pammy are cousins, so their DNA must have
similarities!”
