Chapter 964


    “I am Lina Jenner,” Lina uttered her name after a moment and continued turning around to tidy up the


    shelves.


    Zuko was somewhat surprised. “You’re also a Jenner?”


    Lina looked at him. “What’s wrong?”


    Zuko lightly shook his head, a cold and stern profile with a faint hint of a smile.

    ‘What a coincidence, she is also a Jenner.’


    However, Zuko’s mother had only used the surname Jenner in the first half of her life. For this special


    reason, Zuko could not help but look at Lina a few more times.


    Unlike the disheveled appearance that night, she now exuded a sense of rity and purity. Even in a


    regr white shirt and jeans, she appeared extraordinary. Moreover, she was beautiful.


    The corners of Zuko’s lips curved up slightly, a smile he himself did not even notice.

    Lina and Zuko agreed that he would go home and pack his things tonight and move in the next day.


    However, she felt somewhat regretful in the evening.


    When she saw the astonished gazes of Jesse, Melissa, and Dave, she felt even more ufortable.


    Why did she bring a man who had taken advantage of her and stolen her innocence into her home?


    Was she not inviting trouble?


    She gritted her teeth and swallowed her pride, refusing to tell her family about this matter. But it did not


    mean she had no concerns.


    It was just that in this extraordinary situation, perhaps only that man could ensure the safety of their


    family.


    Lina sat low in her chair, anxiously rubbing her hands and asionally raising her eyes but quickly


    averting her gaze.


    “Lina, what are you thinking!?” Melissa’s heart ached. “You… You brought such a person into our


    home?”


    “I’ve seen that person a few times. He always has a gloomy face and doesn’t say a word! Just one


    nce from him feels like he’s wielding a knife!” Jesse’s features were scrunched together. “My good


    girl, didn’t I say I’d take you all to live in another city? Why did you—”


    “Dad, mom,” Lina said in a low voice. “I know you’re doing this for my own good, but I caused this, so I


    have to handle it myself.


    “If I don’t back down, the Grists won’t let us off no matter where we run! I don’t want both of you to toil


    for a lifetime and end up with nothing, living a rough and unsettled life—”


    Before Lina could finish her sentence, Melissa was already crying. Jesse coughed and looked at his


    wife. He felt sad too but was not as emotional as his wife.


    In fact, he even felt somewhat relieved that Lina was willing to do this. Even though he had raised her


    for 20 years, she was not his biological daughter after all. He would feel reluctant to give up his lifetime


    aplishments for Lina’s sake.


    Despite that, he also felt guilty about the decision Lina had made. Because he was useless and could


    not protect his daughter, she had to ensure their family’s safety in this way.


    “Dad, mom, what are you doing!?” Lina forced a smile. “I’m not marrying Zeke. I’m just letting him stay


    in our house to shut Violet’s mouth!”


    “But you’ll be together every day!” Melissa choked. “If he were a good person, it’d be fine… but I heard


    he has a dubious past! Lina, you mustn’t be taken advantage of!”
