Zephyr nagged that he wanted to go along, and called for Cordelia as well.
As the group hastily got into the car, the butler awkwardly explained, "Sir, Madam, Mrs. Thompson did not faint, but
she said she could handle it herself... Heh, I don't know who relayed the message to this point..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Cordelia still frowned. "Linda is strong, but it's still a problem that Renee kicks up a fuss at the doorstep!
Besides, Pammy is pregnant. She can't take this kind of commotion!"
"Right!" Zuko had already instructed the driver to start the car. He could not wait to go back to protect his wife.
"Let's all go together," Cordelia decided. "Zuko, didn't you have people following Renee all along?"
"Yes," Zuko replied indifferently. "The people I sent reported she's been actively contacting reporters recently. But I
didn't expect her to bring them over today."

Zuko remained silent and glanced at Chris.
Chris had the same cold expression.
Given the current situation, Zuko had no choice but to tell the truth. "Renee somehow read Lena's diary, which
states that... she's dad's... illegitimate daughter."
The car fell silent.
Zephyr and Cordelia stared at Nicholas, who was frantically at a loss for words.
"I swear on my conscience!" Nicholas yelled, "If I've had any other women in my life besides Linda, then may I be
struck by lightning and never have a good life!"
Zephyr and Cordelia still stared at him without saying a word.
Nicholas was anxious and grabbed Zephyr, explaining desperately, "You know about my... I can't possibly have slept
with another woman when I'm sober. When I'm drunk, I... I can't perform!"
"Pft!"
Zuko turned his face to the window, trying hard to hold back his laughter.
Zephyr pushed Nicholas away with disdain, and Cordelia could not help but laugh.
Only Chris remained serious, sighing softly. He looked at his phone, where the DNA test result with a 0% match was
stored. It was supposed to be his lifelong secret.
The reporters were still gathered at the entrance when they arrived at the Thompsons'.
Zuko immediately noticed Renee's triumphant look. He instructed the driver to sound the horn loudly, and the
reporters split into two sides, clearing a path for them to drive through the gate.
Nicholas got out of the car and rushed to Linda, tightly embracing her. Just like when they were young, he would
make sure anyone who made his woman unhappy had an unhappy life!

comfort.
Chris stood by Lena's side, his heart ached at the sight of her reddened eyes. He gently hugged her shoulders,
telling her not to be afraid and that he was there with his gaze.
Renee bit her lip.
A sense of desolation suddenly swept over her. In the past, Toph would have definitely stood by her side in such a
situation. However, the thought only flashed through her mind. What she felt instantly turned into endless hatred.
"Heh, are you all here to support that little bitch? A love child can wield quite some power, huh!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nicholas roared. "Lenny is not my illegitimate daughter! I've never done
anything to wrong Linda! Don't blame me for the consequences if you dare to talk nonsense again!"
"Uncle Nicholas, you must be turning senile." Renee stared into his eyes. "Don't you know who her mother is? It's
Krystal, the woman you saved! You know best what you did back then!"
"Renee!" Lina could not help but speak up. "Madame Krys saved our lives. How can you say such things about
her?!"
