Lina and Renee fell silent at the same time. The name Madame Krys had brought them back to the time on the
ship. They had thought they had forgotten about it, but the narrow cabin, the wounded girls, and the ferocious eyes
were playing in their heads like a movie. It was a traumatic experience, as well as an unforgettable memory.
“Maybe,” Lina said softly. “Maybe she’s really related to Madame Krys. Even though she saved our lives, she broke
the law. We can’t tell whether this Lena is a friend or a foe just yet, so we must be cautious.”
Renee nodded. “Cuz, if you really want to find out, why don’t you go there a couple more times?”
Toph quickly interjected. “It’s a dangerous place. Better to stay away!”
Renee looked at him and smiled but said nothing more.
The group parted ways and went home after chatting for a while.

Desiree had been quiet these days. She used to hit Zuko up daily, but she now dared not even text him.
When Toph was playing games, he would notice that her avatar had been offline.
“Ha! I didn’t know that Pammy was so fierce!” he exclaimed while playing. “Desiree dares not even go online to
play games now that Pammy has shown her her place!
“Watch out, bro. She’ll bring a gang to end you if you make her angry!
“Don’t drag me in when you guys fight!”
A pillow was tossed at Toph as he spoke. It hit him in the head.
Zuko sneered. “You sure have much to say!”
Zuko was getting ready for work. He was fixing his tie in front of the mirror. It was Lina who had picked out the dark
blue suit for him through the video call last night.
He checked himself out. The more he looked, the more he thought something was missing.
“Toph, do you think I’m missing a belt?” he asked.
Toph had just drunk a mouthful of milk and almost spat it out. “Hahaha… You want a $400 belt as well?”
In reality, Zuko had many belts. Cordelia took care of most of his sons’ stuff. She was never stingy, and a belt that
cost a couple of thousand dollars was the cheapest one.
However, Zuko thought something was lacking with those belts.
“Of course!” Toph laughed happily. “That’s the difference between your wife and mom! Don’t worry, I certainly
won’t tell mom that you don’t like the belts that she bought for you— Mmph!”
Before Toph was done speaking, Zuko covered his mouth from the back and strangled his neck lightly.

Though Toph was unwilling to yield, he was worried about Zuko. “Let’s talk business. Nothing else matters now, but
if Desiree talks nonsense in front of our grandmother, then Lina…”
“So what?” Zuko raised his eyebrows. “She is our grandmother, not hers.”
“But the Harpers have been friends with the Bakers for generations,” Toph said carefully. “Grandma might have to
protect the family’s reputation.”
“Reputation is for those who deserve it.” Zuko smirked. “Though the Goddess of Death is old now, she is still sharp.
Don’t worry!”
Toph thought about it and smiled. Janine had always been on the side of justice. She did not care who the villain
was; she would fight them no matter what.
Meanwhile, she would protect people she liked with all her might.
Therefore, Desiree’s nonsense would not shake their grandmother.
Also, Desiree might have found out about their grandmother’s character and decided not to say anything at all.
“The Thompson Group’s film studio will open two days later.” Toph asked, “Everything good on Pammy’s side?”
