Lina froze as she recognized the license plate—it belonged to Gia’s car. She bit her lips, ready to confront her, but
the car quickly drove away, turning a corner and disappearing.
Zuko heard the noise and rushed outside. When he saw Lina drenched, he felt both distressed and guilty. “I should
have picked you up from the hospital!”
“It’s alright.” Lina chuckled lightly. “Who would have expected a car to appear out of nowhere in broad daylight?”
“Did you see the license plate?”
Lina’s gaze dimmed, and she whispered, “It was Gia’s car.”
Zuko was startled, finding it strange. Was Gia trying to target Lina? Was splashing water on her worth making such
a fuss about? There must be another reason behind it!
“Zuko, I really don’t understand… Why would she treat me like this?” Although Lina was not as heartbroken as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbefore, this incident still cast a shadow on her and left her unable to let go. She had treated Gia sincerely as a
friend, but it all seemed to be wasted.
“Don’t think too much about it.” Zuko looked at the soaked woman in front of him. “Go back, take a hot shower,
change into clean clothes, and then…”
Then, he suddenly froze.
When Lina turned around, her wet clothes clung to her body, revealing a glimpse of her clean waist. Zuko’s heart
seemed to skip a beat as he stared at her in a daze.
“Zuko?” Lina turned to look at him. “Why are you standing there like that?”
Only then did Zuko come to his senses.
This was the purpose behind Gia intentionally splashing water on Lina!
“Zuko?”
“Oh, what’s wrong?” He regained his composure and gently took her small hand as he smiled at her. “Let’s go back
quickly. After you change into clean clothes, have a good sleep at home. I’ll go to the hospital and take care of your
mother for you.”
Lina didn’t think too much about it and entered the house with him.
Perhaps Lina had been too tired these past few days. After taking a shower and changing clothes, she lay on the
bed and quickly fell asleep.
Zuko quietly locked the door and walked to the corner of the alley.
Sure enough, the red luxury car was parked there. His face turned grim, and he quickly approached. Gia suddenly
appeared from behind the wall.
“Mr. Hamerton.” She took off her sunglasses, smiling brightly.
Zuko gave her a cold glance, and his words were icy. “What do you want?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I just wanted to tell you that I already know about Ms. Renee’s connection with you. You came to Jangasas to
investigate me and find the real Ms. Thompson, right?” Gia slowly approached Zuko, and the strong scent of her
perfume made him uncomfortable.
“But I wanted to remind you today that the direction of your investigation may be wrong!”
“Is that so?” Zuko sneered. “So, you want to remind me that Lina doesn’t have that birthmark?”
“Exactly.”
“Ms. Chapman.” A chilling glint flashed across Zuko’s face. “You even knew about the birthmark on Pamela
Thompson? So, you and Melvin have been colluding for a long time?”
“You…”
Gia’s face turned pale, barely able to withstand Zuko’s formidable aura.
“Right or wrong, a birthmark alone doesn’t prove anything.” Zuko smirked. “As long as I have her tested, we’ll know
everything.
“However, Ms. Chapman, your situation will be quite dangerous.”
Zuko’s eyes flickered with an icy glimmer, and his intimidating presence instilled fear in others.
