Chapter 1019


    “Oh my, Zeke!” Melissa’s heart broke as she watched. She screamed, “Oil isn’t free, you know!”


    However, Zuko stared at her nkly, his face devoid of expression.


    “Quickly!” She pped his back. “Pour the oil from the pan into the bowl…”


    Zuko, as if in a daze, held the pan in one hand and the bowl in the other, unsure of what to do.


    “Oh gosh! Get out!” Melissa snatched the bowl and pan away. “If this continues, I might lose my


    kitchen…”


    Like a puppet, Zuko was chased out of the kitchen by Melissa.


    Her words echoed in his head.


    He suddenly said, “Auntie, did you mean what you said?”


    Melissa widened her eyes. “What did I say?”


    “Rece our fake marriage certificate with a real one…”


    “Go, go, go!” Although anger still lingered on Melissa’s face, there was a smile at the corner of her lips.


    “But pay me back for the olive oil first!”


    Melissa closed the kitchen door, ushering Zuko out.

    Stunned, Zuko walked to the corridor.


    He looked up at the blue sky. It was sunny, and the fragrance of summer filled the air.


    At that moment, he burst intoughter, unable to stop giggling.


    Zuko regretted not getting a real marriage certificate from the start. Why hadn’t he done it? Now he had


    more work to do.


    ‘Hmm… Maybe it’s for the best.’


    Back then, he and Lina were practically strangers. Marrying a stranger felt strange.


    After a year and a half of getting to know each other, Zuko would blend in better with the family.


    Everything would happen naturally by then…


    ‘A year and a half…


    ‘Ha, the duration my mother-inw gave makes sense!’


    Zuko started whistling, a rare sight, with a bright smile on his face.


    His phone rang multiple times, but he didn’t notice it. Eventually, he felt a vibration in his pocket.Books

    Toph’s concerned voice came from the other side when he picked up. “Did you get into trouble, bro? It


    took you so long to answer!”


    “No,” Zuko replied tly.


    There was no trouble—he was quite happy.


    “Oh,” Toph responded shortly. “I’ve done what you asked me to do. The incident is creating a buzz on


    the Inte. Violet’s reputation is hard to salvage now.”


    “Hmm, good.”


    “I heard Jacob still has more dirt on Violet,” Toph said with a smile. “Should we expose it and make it


    go viral?”


    “That small matter won’t go viral,” Zuko said in a deep voice. “Besides, we can’t reveal everything at


    once. We need to take it slow. How can we have leverage if we expose everything now?”


    “Hmm, you’re right.” Toph sincerely praised his brother, “You’re cunning, bro. I see traces of our father


    and grandfather in you!”


    “Is that apliment?” asked Zuko.


    Tophughed and hung up quickly.


    …


    The incident of Violet giarizing X’s work from 20 years ago continued to stir up the Inte.


    Under the pressure of public opinion, the members of the exhibition organizingmittee apologized.


    They disqualified Violet and added her to the cklist. giarizing candidates were no longer given the


    opportunity to participate.


    The university descended into chaos as well. The once arrogant and boastful Grist princess now found


    herself at the center of the storm.


    Violet was criticized no matter where she went.


    “Isn’t that the Grist princess who giarized someone else’s work?”


    “That’s right. Of all artists, she giarized Madam Irwin of Southeast Aciatic! Although her pieces have


    small cirction, they’re priceless!”


    “I guess Violet is too ignorant to know that!”


    “What does the nouveau riche know? Hahaha! I heard the Irwins of Southeast Aciatic have contacted


    their attorney to file a transnationalwsuit!”
