    Jesse was also a Jenner, but he was tens of thousands of miles apart from the Jenners.

    Back then, William, whose eyes were on top of his head, did not even spare a nce at broke rtives


    like Jesse, a distant one especially.


    After Jesse’s first attempt to seek refuge with William failed, he decided to rely on his own efforts. He


    started by setting up a stall on the night market street and eventually saved enough money to open a


    shop, which had now be this small supermarket. It had been a journey of hardships and struggles,


    waking up early and workingte, and only those who had experienced it firsthand could truly


    understand.


    This small supermarket was more important to him than his own life. Now, he had to make a choice


    between his life and his daughter.


    “Jesse, have you lost your voice?” Melissa hugged Lina in her arms, patting her head just like when


    she was a child, with tears streaming down her face.


    “Anyway… I disagree! Is there no justice in this world anymore? How dare the Grists meddle in my


    daughter’s lifelong affair!? Are the rich and powerful to bully people?”


    “That’s right, I disagree too!” Dave mmed the table and stood up. “Sis, you have no idea how


    arrogant Violet was today. The person she found for you is a notorious yboy who has ruined


    countless girls. You mustn’t marry him!”


    Lina was upset and silently shed tears.


    The entire family’s gaze turned to Jesse.


    Jesse kept his head down, silent and depressed, the cigarette between his fingers burning shorter and


    shorter. The smell of nicotine filled the small living room, and Lina’s heart grew even more suppressed.


    “Yes, you can’t marry him!” Jesse suddenly roared after a while.


    His voice trembled, but every word he uttered was firm and resolute.


    “If I can’t even protect my own daughter, what kind of father am I!?”


    “Dad…”


    “Lina, don’t worry. Tomorrow, you and your mom pack up the things in the house. We can always find


    another ce to live!” he said.


    Lina could not utter a word.


    In fact, she was the main culprit behind this whole thing.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

    If she had not interfered and reported the Grists and had not united all the merchants to boycott the


    inferior products of the Grists, she would not have incurred Violet’s resentment. Her hardworking


    parents would not have to give up their lifelong efforts for her.


    In the end, she was just a troublemaker!


    The dinner was awkward, with everyone forcing a smile.


    Lina did not dare to cry in front of her parents. When she returned to her room, she buried her head in


    the nket and cried her heart out.


    …


    The next day, Zuko arrived on the street again to make deliveries.


    He drove the truck steadily without turning on the air conditioning. Even with the windows rolled down,


    the outside breeze was not enough to make him feel cool. His mediocre-quality T-shirt was slightly


    damp with sweat.


    After parking the truck, he reached for the tumbler he carried with him and gulped down some room-


    temperature water—this kind ofrge-capacity stic tumbler was probably a standard essory for


    every truck driver.


    Zuko nced at the order list.


    Clearly, there were significantly fewer supermarkets to be serviced todaypared to the previous


    period. He had also heard about the incident where Lina assembled the merchants to boycotting the


    Grist Group’s beverages.


    Before deciding toe to Jangasas, Toph had jokingly told him, “Bro, I heard that Uncle Fredric’sw


    firm in Jangasas is busy with the Grists’wsuittely. Why don’t you just go work for the Grists and act


    as an undercover agent to gather evidence for him?”


    Zuko rested his hand on the steering wheel, chuckled softly, and took out his phone to capture the


    order details. Regardless of whether it would be useful or not, he would gather any information rted


    to the Grist Group with utmost dedication.


    After keeping his phone, he opened the door, jumped out of the car, opened the cargopartment,


    and skillfully unloaded the boxes of goods from inside. Those few small supermarkets that needed


    deliveries were also forced to stock up because of the Grist Group’s threats. Zuko helped them arrange


    the goods properly.
