Chapter 1079


    Gia’s gaze turned cold as she lifted her eyes to look at Lina. The once gentle and friendly demeanor


    was nowhere to be found. Perhaps Gia had never been soft-hearted; she had simply treated Lina


    differently because they were friends.


    Standing beside Lina, Zuko stared at Gia with eyes that seemed capable of piercing her heart at any


    moment. Gathering herself, Gia feigned calmness and smirked at them.


    Gia locked her gaze with Zuko for a moment, and a spark of jealousy ignited within her once again.


    Why did Lina deserve all the good things? Even though Lina was no longer Pam Thompson, she


    had effortlessly won the heart of the Hamertons’ first grandson.


    The world was inherently unfair. A beggar wouldn’t be jealous of a billionaire, but Gia despised the


    beggar who managed to beg more money than she did.

    While she also harbored resentment toward the second-generation rich like Violet, her hatred for Lina


    ran deep.


    Zuko’s eyes grew intense, and within seconds, they silently conveyed their thoughts to each other. He


    lowered his head and focused on Lina’s hand holding his. Quietly, he withdrew his hand and firmly


    grasped her frail shoulders.


    “Go upstairs, Lina,” he said softly. “I’ll bring you some supper.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join

    Lina was taken aback but understood his intention. Perhaps Zuko didn’t want Gia to see them going


    upstairs together. He didn’t want her to win. After all, it was against thew for them to share a hotel


    room in Southeast Aciatic.


    “Alright,” Lina agreed, giving him a smile before entering the hotel.


    Gia didn’t follow Lina. Zuko knew that he was her target now.


    Zuko spoke coldly. “Now that she’s gone say whatever you have to say.”


    Gia leaned against the wall, crossing her arms, and nced at him with a sly smirk. “Mr. Zuko, how


    long do you think you can keep your identity hidden?”


    Zuko was taken aback.


    Gia smiled. “Surprised that I know? Ha, you only have yourself to me for being so impatient. How


    could you simply give away a family heirloom? You don’t even know if she’ll stay with you in the future!”


    “Who do you think you are to speak to me like this?” Zuko thundered.


    Gia was shocked. “You—”


    “Now that you’re aware of my identity let me make everything clear.” Zuko smirked with amanding


    charisma. A chilling coldness flickered in his deep eyes. “I have one request: Stay away from Lina, and


    don’t you daree close to her again!”


    “Z-Zuko—”


    “Don’t think I don’t know that you were behind the incident that injured Violet.” Zuko looked down on


    Gia with contempt. “But congrattions, you and Violet are now in the same league, engaging in a


    dog-eat-dog game!”


    Gia’s face turned pale as she stared back at Zuko.


    “But if you darey a finger on Lina…” Zuko stepped closer, his cold eyes filled with disdain as he


    spoke fiercely. “You will meet a gruesome end!”


    Gia took a few steps back, gasping in disbelief. Her heart pounded in her chest. This wasn’t what she


    had expected when she revealed Zuko’s secret. She had anticipated him panicking. After all, to Lina,


    Zuko was a poor man with a troubled past, and Lina despised being deceived.


    Zuko’s cold smirk deepened, his eyes radiating icy determination.


    “I don’t know who is pulling the strings behind you, but I can guess that person holds significant power.”


    Zuko’s deep voice resonated. “They recognized me and managed to manipte you. It’s only natural


    that they pose a challenge to me. They’re fighting in the shadows, and no matter how unfair it may be, I


    can handle whatever tricks they have up their sleeve.”


    Zuko continued, his gaze unwavering. “But let them know this. If any of you dares to harm my


    woman…”
