Kasey glanced downward. She didn't appear extraordinary to Elijah. Instead, she harbored only grievances and
discontent.
Unknown to Jacquelin, Zuko had noticed her taking photos and discreetly signaled his bodyguards to remove her.
But before any of this could unfold, Kasey made a "heroic" move of her own.
Zuko smiled at the couple and turned to leave. Lena followed him.
When they reached a secluded place, Zuko stopped in his tracks and asked, "Have you engraved everything I told
you?"
Lena nodded earnestly.

"I understand." Lena's gaze darkened. "Taking these precautions in advance is the right move. Renee isn't thinking
clearly, so who knows what she might do. And now that Lina is pregnant, we have to be even more careful!"
Zuko looked at her and said cryptically, "It seems like you genuinely care about Lina."
Lena did not say anything.
"Why?"
"Because..." Lena lowered her head, her voice soft. "Because Lina has been good to me."
"She also used to be good to Renee," Zuko retorted.
"I'm not the same as Renee!" Lena suddenly raised her voice. "I... I would never betray Lina!"
Zuko wanted to continue questioning but stopped before the words left his mouth.
He had considered many reasons, including the suspicion Chris had initially raised—Lena's sexual orientation.
However, now that she was in a stable relationship with Chris, it indicated she liked men.
Zuko was utterly perplexed. 'In this world, nobody is overly kind to someone else. Even within families, people can
hurt each other for their own benefit.
'Wait! Family?!'
Suddenly, Zuko had a realization, and he gazed blankly at Lena.
Just then, his phone rang. When he picked up, he heard his father-in-law's deep voice. "Zuko, do you have a
moment?"
"Dad... What's up?"
"Come over to my place now." Nicholas' voice lowered. "When you arrive, head directly to the study.

And... don't let Pammy know about this."
Zuko was puzzled but hung up and immediately headed to Thompsons' residence.
Nicholas was already waiting for him in the study. A cup of tea had just been brewed, the temperature perfect with
the aroma filling the room.
Zuko greeted him respectfully and took a seat opposite.
"Take a look at these." Nicholas placed a stack of photos on the desk.
Zuko flipped through a few and immediately recognized a key figure. "This guy..."
"Looks familiar?" Nicholas smiled faintly. "This is the person I've traced from the black market."
"Isn't this one of Kaitlyn's accomplices?" Zuko blurted.
