Chapter 1003
Gia hung up, her palms sweating. She collected herself and turned back to the store, where Lina had
note out yet. Gia pretended as if nothing had happened and softly asked, “Lina, are you done
trying the clothes on?”
“This one’s a bit big. I need a smaller size…”
Gia immediately asked the store staff to find the right size.
“Lina, um… Why don’t you go ahead and try it on? I… I need to use the restroom!”
Lina agreed, and Gia quickly rushed out of the store, heading toward the cafe on the basement floor.
The man was already seated in the far corner. Gia’s legs trembled slightly as she forced herself to
appear calm and sat down in front of him. The man handed her a card. With most of his face covered
by a baseball cap, the slight curve of his lips sent shivers down her spine.
“The boss says you’ve done a good job. This is your reward.”
“Thank you…”
“Your next task is to keep Lina here and ensure she doesn’t appear in Centrolis.”
Gia’s heart skipped a beat. “But… I n to work in Centrolis after I graduate!”
“Future matters will be dealt with in the future.”
Gia wanted to say something more, but the cold expression on the man’s face silenced her. After giving
their boss’ instructions, the man stood up and prepared to leave.
The man said with a sneer, “Ms. Chapman, the boss says as long as you canplete each task, he’ll
definitely not treat you unfairly.”
Gia’s voice trembled as she asked, “Why didn’t the boss… choose me?”
“Choose you?”
Gia looked up at him.
Yes, since they needed someone to impersonate the daughter of the Thompsons, why had they not
chosen her? Instead, they had her approach Lina from the beginning of university, acquire Lina’s DNA
sample, and even take Lina to remove her birthmark and add a mole.
After all that effort, they found another girl to impersonate Pam. Gia could not understand. She
always thought she was the perfect candidate to be Pam.
The man paused and turned to look at her. Although she could not see his gaze clearly, she could
sense the contempt and mockery emanating from him.
The man scoffed lightly. “Ms. Chapman, you should understand this as someone who buys designer
handbags. Even if it’s a counterfeit, there are different grades. Heh! What a pity. Even if you carry an
Hermès, you still can’t be a true socialite!”
“You—”
The man raised his hand slightly and quickly disappeared into the crowd of the mall. “Spend the money
in your ount wisely!”
In fact, he did not mention one thing. The person his boss wanted to use had to be a suitable puppet.
Gia was too independent and would not be someone who obediently followed orders. They could
control her with money for now. What about the future?
If she sessfully impersonated Pam, gained the Thompsons’ trust, and married into the
Hamertons, she would turn her back on them! They would not obtain anything they desired. It was
better to keep her in Jangasas and restrain Lina, ensuring that Lina’s identity would never be revealed.
At the Thompson residence in Centrolis…
Zuko met Pam there, who had been missing for so many years.
She was fair-skinned, delicate, and obedient. Zuko was momentarily stunned when he saw her for the
first time. He had initially assumed that this Pam they had found was an impersonator, but he
suddenly felt that his judgment might have been wrong this time.
He nced at his parents. Zephyr and Cordelia shared the same expression of confusion.
“Pammy, greet them!” Linda held the girl’s hand. She had been holding her daughter’s hand like that for
the past few days. Even when sleeping, she would stay by her daughter’s side quietly, kissing her hand
repeatedly, unwilling to let go even for a moment.
Pam lowered her head slightly. She had a beautiful oval face with not overly stunning features but
pleasant to look at. What surprised Zuko even more was that she resembled Nichs slightly.Books

Toph whispered in Zuko’s ear, “Zuko, do you think she looks like Uncle Nichs?”
Zuko remained silent for a moment and replied softly, “A little.”
“I think… it might just be an illusion,” muttered Toph. “Even if you put two strangers together, you’ll start
to think they look alike after a long time. We’re all human beings with two eyes and one mouth. There’s
nothing special…”
Realization struck Zuko as he found the exnation quite reasonable.
Lost in thought, he was abruptly jolted by a soft voice calling him, “Zuko.”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Zuko froze.
Pam stood in front of him, nodding slightly as a gesture of greeting.
Zuko’s expression changed slightly, showing a polite but distant coldness toward her.
Hearty peals ofughter echoed from the entrance hall. Nichs strode in, apanied by another
man. Zuko followed the sound and saw a man simr in age and appearance to Nichs. Both of them
were engaged in a lively conversation as they walked.
“Zephyr, Cordelia, you’re all here too!” Nichs eximed with excitement. “Let me introduce you. He’s
my younger cousin, Melvin… My daughter’s return is all thanks to him!”
Melvin waved his hand, revealing a deep smile. “Actually, I just got lucky. In any case, my niece is also
a Thompson! How could a Thompson child be left to wander outside?
“I’m d to have helped my cousin this time!” Melvin spoke earnestly and choked up as he continued.
“Seeing their family reunited, I feel that the hardships of these past 20 years were not in vain…”
Melvin’s eyes turned red. “Nichs, Linda, you must stay happy!”
Nichs and Linda were emotional individuals, so tears welled up in their eyes upon hearing his words.
Zephyr patted Nichs’ shoulder while Cordelia busied herselfforting Linda.
Toph also went over to cheer them up. Only Zuko seemed to be detached, observing everything with a
cold demeanor.
When he inadvertently made eye contact with Pam, the girl paused for a moment before quickly
lowering her head, nervously fiddling with her skirt.
