“Oh, it’s nothing,” Kaitlyn replied, lowering her head briefly before looking up with a soft smile. “Renee, I haven’t

been feeling very comfortable after my surgery, so I prefer not to be touched… Can you understand?”

“Mom?” Renee’s eyes widened. “Where are you feeling uncomfortable? I can ask Lina and Zuko to help…”

“No need.”

Kaitlyn grabbed her, and Renee was taken aback, noticing that her mother’s hand didn’t feel as hard as before.

Kaitlyn had always been sick, weak, and frail, making her hands feel like dry twigs. But now…

“Renee, I have something to tell you.”

Renee refocused and looked at her mother attentively.

“What kind of person is Lena?”

“Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“Just asking casually.”

Renee pondered for a moment and replied softly, “Is this about the incident where she blocked you from entering

the study and argued with you?

“Mom, you might have misunderstood her. She has a cold personality and prefers to keep her distance from

strangers, but she has a good heart.”

“Is that so?” Kaitlyn sneered. “Renee, you’re still too young to see through people’s hearts.”

“Well—”

“The more someone is like that, the better they are at pretending. Have you heard the saying that a biting dog

doesn’t bark?”

Renee looked puzzled, not understanding why her mother was saying this.

“You shouldn’t get too close to Lena!” Kaitlyn looked at her seriously. “And you have to get rid of her. Otherwise, you

and Toph won’t have an easy time!”

“Mom, what are you saying?” Renee couldn’t help but jolt in surprise.

After saying that, Kaitlyn lowered her head, portraying the meek housewife she once was.

Despite her demeanor, Renee couldn’t ignore the vicious glint in her eyes when discussing getting rid of Lena just

now.

Renee’s heart pounded as she asked, “Mom, what do you mean?”

“I mean Lena can’t stay at the Thompsons’ anymore! Renee, you must find a way to get rid of her. Keeping her

around will bring trouble! Look, she’s already caused you and Toph to delay your wedding!”

“But, mom…” Renee’s gaze was sincere. “Lena has never offended me, and she’s been really good to Lina. How

could she have malicious intentions?”

“Then why is she clinging to the Thompsons and not leaving?”

Renee couldn’t answer that question.

“It’s also not a good time for Toph and me to get married anyway,” Renee murmured. “We don’t have our own

careers and income, and I still need to take care of you. We…”

“What kind of career does Toph need?” Kaitlyn raised an eyebrow. “He’s the second heir of the Hamertons. He’s

entitled to half of their wealth!

“Besides, parents always dote more on their youngest, so he should get more than his brother! And on the Irwins’

side… Zuko has already inherited the Count title, so it’s only natural that Toph gets a larger share of the money!”

“Mom!”

“I am doing this for your own good!” Kaitlyn suddenly raised her voice.

Renee froze, staring at her mother in a daze. She had never seen her mother this unfamiliar before.

“Renee, everything I do is all for you!”

“Is that so?” Renee felt bewildered. It didn’t sound like it was for her. It sounded more like it was for that massive

family fortune.

Renee bit her lip, looked up at her mother, and said deliberately, “Mom… if you’re truly doing this for my own good,

then I have a request. Can you fulfill it?”

Kaitlyn hesitated for a moment. “What is it?”

“Can you… hug me?”

Kaitlyn hesitated momentarily before opening her arms and embracing her daughter gently.

The familiar scent of sandalwood, a fragrance Renee had always liked to use, wafted from Kaitlyn, and Renee’s

heart eased. Maybe the earlier feelings of strangeness were just her imagination.

“Renee.”

“Yes?”

Kaitlyn smiled softly and approached the desk. “Is this your computer?”
