Lina pursed her lips and did not say anything, leaning gently against Zuko's shoulder. Images of the past when she
was with Renee would always flash through her mind. It now seemed like those were events from a past life.
Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Lina had been quite sentimental lately. Her eyes were slightly moist at the moment.
"I know she's akin to your sister, and you can't bear to be harsh," Zuko said. "But Toph is my brother, and I've been
protecting him since childhood. This time won't be any different!"
His words were resolute, not wavering even a bit despite Lina's sadness.
Lina looked at him with a gentle smile.
In reality, he was also protecting her. With such a man by her side, she could stay a child without worry for her
entire life.
"It's not that I can't bear it. I just feel a bit regretful," she gently said as she took his hand. "I understand that Renee

"It's best if you can think like that." Chris smiled. "Pammy, Zuko and I are most concerned about you. But since
you're so clear about right and wrong, we don't have much to worry about."
Zuko raised an eyebrow. "You seem quite pleased?"
"Of course! That woman is relentless against Lenny. How can I coexist with her?!"
Zuko and Lina looked at Chris together.
"Uh..." Chris scratched his head, chuckling awkwardly. "If she can change her ways, then I'll be courteous to her.
Hehe!"

In the blink of an eye, Lina was almost four months pregnant. Her lower abdomen was slightly rounded. Her
morning sickness had disappeared, and her appetite had increased. She had also become very fond of sleeping.
Zuko could not bear to see his wife struggling with company matters, so he would first handle his work at the
Hamerton Group and then go to the Thompson Group to oversee things.
He had initially been involved in Thompson Group's affairs, but he gained a thorough understanding of the
company's operations due to his daily visits.
His mind was sharper than a computer, but his expression was even darker than that of Lina. While employees
could sometimes act lazy around Lina, they had to be extra diligent around Zuko.
Despite his strictness, many female employees admired Zuko for his handsome appearance, strong work skills,
impressive family background, and, most importantly, his considerate and attentive treatment of his wife.
They would discuss. "This is the standard in looking for a husband. We'd definitely be happy forever!" Jacquelin
snorted. "Would a man who meets these standards be interested in you people?"
The female employees scoffed back at her.

knocking at our doors!"
"You..."
Before Jacquelin could react, they dispersed.
She rolled her eyes, feeling angry, vexed, and a bit apprehensive.
After the incident with Kasey, her reputation had been thoroughly ruined. Such matters had little impact on men
but were deadly for women.
Jacquelin had initially gone along with the high-ranking executives' manipulations, hoping she could succeed in
seducing Elijah.
Little did she know that Elijah was completely immune to her tactics. However, the rumors about their relationship
had spread widely, and Elijah was not interested in clarifying, allowing Jacquelin to act more recklessly.
That was until Kasey's explosive confrontation at the Thompson Group...
Jacquelin squinted, pondering how to turn the tables in her favor.
She then accidentally saw Lena walking alongside Zuko!
