Chapter 1048
Cordeliaforted Linda for a while before lifting her eyes and noticing Melvin’s grim face.
She swiftly kicked Zephyr’s foot under the table and signaled him.
Zephyr quickly caught on to Melvin’s expression, and the couple exchanged knowing smiles. They had
a rough idea now. It didn’t matter if it was the legitimate Pammy or not. Melvin was undoubtedly the
mastermind behind everything.
As they left the house, Renee stopped the bodyguards from following them. She grabbed Toph’s hand
and hurriedly ran toward the beach. If she didn’t do this, Toph would never believe that such a pale and
weak body could possess such power!
When they reached the beach, even the strong second grandson of the Hamertons felt fatigued. But
Renee remained unaffected. Her vacant eyes stared coldly at the foggy sea. Renee bit her lip, her body
trembling.
Toph cautiously approached her. “Pammy, are you okay?”
Her body instinctively trembled upon hearing him call her “Pammy”.
Renee wrapped her arms around herself and slowly sank down on the sandy beach. After a long while,
she finally turned her face to look at him. Her lips moved, and she spoke softly. “Toph…”
Toph’s expression turned serious, “Pammy, have you gotten yourself into trouble? Tell me, I promise to
help you!”
Their eyes met.
Renee was teetering on the edge of copse. Pretending to be someone else was torturous, and she
hade to realize that the two brothers were incredibly astute. She couldn’t deceive them any longer.
Rather than being exposed, Renee would rather confess herself.
And so, she had pretended not to notice when Toph discreetly stole her mug.
Renee had believed that the DNA report would reveal the truth, but she never anticipated that Melvin
would tamper with Nichs’ sample and use his instead. Melvin and Renee were father and daughter,
connected by blood, so the DNA report had deceived everyone again.Books Chapters Are Daily

Her eyes turned red, and she took a deep breath, reassuring herself that it would alle to an end.
She pulled Toph aside to exin herself. “Toph, I need to tell you something…”

Toph looked at her in silence, attentive to her every word.
Suddenly, a phone call interrupted the peace.
Renee snapped back to reality and retrieved her phone from her pocket. The unknown number on the
screen froze her in ce.
Renee nced at Toph and moved a distance away. She only dared to answer the call after making
sure Toph wasn’t following her and couldn’t hear her conversation.
“Hello?”
“You disobedient girl!” The man on the other end gritted his teeth. “You dare defy me! Well, I’m heading
to the hospital to remove your mother’s oxygen mask now!”
“No…” Renee pleaded, lowering her voice. “I’ll do whatever you ask. Please, just let my mother go!”
There was silence on the other end.
“I haven’t gone against you!” Renee hurriedly exined. “I brought Toph along to… build a closer
rtionship with him. I can secure a portion of the Hamerton Group for you in the future…”
“Hmph! How can I trust your intentions?” Melvin growled. “I’ll give you one more chance. You must
ensure Linda signs the transfer of shares this week. I’ll have someone watching you. And remember, if
you dare to pull any tricks, I’ll kill your mother!”
Renee trembled as she hung up the call. Someone tapped her shoulder from behind, causing her to
scream in fright.
Toph frowned, his expression filled with mixed emotions as he looked at her.
Although he hadn’t listened to the conversation, her facial expressions gave him an inkling of what had
transpired.
As if awoken from a shocking dream, Renee burst into tears and threw herself into Toph’s arms.
“I’m scared.” Renee sobbed. “I’m really scared.”
Toph collected his emotions and hesitantly lifted his hand, gently patting her head. “I’m here. Everything
will be alright.”
