Gia held her breath, feeling an icy chill as Zuko’s gaze bore into her.
Zuko’s smile vanished, replaced by a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes. “I’ve warned you,” he said. “If anyone dares
to harm my woman, I assure you they will suffer a fate far worse than death. Ms. Chapman, did you think I was
joking?”
Gia stammered, attempting to defend herself as the situation escalated. “M-Mr. Hamerton… I never had any ill
intentions toward you or Lina. I have no idea how information about you staying in her room got leaked—”
Zuko interrupted her, his voice turning cold. “Heh! Perhaps a certain b*tch couldn’t keep its mouth shut and let out
a few barks.”
Gia’s eyes widened in shock.
Zuko continued, his tone filled with menace. “Gia Chapman, Violet has been disfigured, and Heidi has been driven
away. With a mere nod from me, this deceitful teacher might become one of the missing persons in Southeast
Aciatic by tomorrow… By the way, what do you think these two have in common?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGia’s lips trembled, and her palms grew clammy with cold sweat.
The similarity between them was that they both bullied Lina!
Zuko let out a chilling laugh. “And who do you think might be next?”
Gia’s face turned pale, and her legs nearly gave way beneath her.
Zuko shot her a cold glance and strode toward the elevator, making his way to the courtyard. He wasn’t in a hurry
to deal with Gia personally. She was a minor character in his grand scheme. He intended to use her to uncover the
mastermind behind her actions.

but to comply and make a trip to Southeast Aciatic.

“Oh, Your Lordship, you’re here!” The general manager and two lobby managers rushed over with smiles on their
faces, greeting Zuko.
Zuko furrowed his brows and instinctively glanced around. Sensing his concern, the manager attempted to please
him, assuring him, “Your Lordship, rest assured. Your wife is upstairs! She has already packed up and is moving into
the suite!”
Zuko’s tense face relaxed slightly at the news.
“Your Lordship, are you satisfied with today’s arrangements?” asked one of the managers eagerly.
“I am,” Zuko replied.
“That’s great! Hahaha…” The manager started to laugh but was quickly interrupted by Zuko.
“Just stay quiet, and I’ll be even more satisfied.”

Zuko glanced at him and spoke in a low voice, patting his shoulder. “Thanks for your help today.”
“It’s my honor!” The manager was pleasantly surprised. “As long as you’re happy, Your Lordship!”
“If my wife has any doubts when she sees you, do you know what to say?” Zuko asked, looking directly into the
manager’s eyes.
The manager blinked, adopting a cunning expression. “Your Lordship, rest assured. No matter what doubts she may
have, we’ll attribute everything to the hotel’s actions and keep it unrelated to you!”
Only then did Zuko show a pleased smile and confidently walked away, heading outside to smoke.

“You’re a liar!”
“Argh!” Renee hugged herself, feeling a throbbing pain in her head.
Her cries attracted Toph, who came over holding a bowl of instant noodles, two sausages, and a bottle of Cola.
