Chapter 1085


    Gia held her breath, feeling an icy chill as Zuko’s gaze bore into her.


    Zuko’s smile vanished, reced by a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes. “I’ve warned you,” he said. “If


    anyone dares to harm my woman, I assure you they will suffer a fate far worse than death. Ms.


    Chapman, did you think I was joking?”


    Gia stammered, attempting to defend herself as the situation escted. “M-Mr. Hamerton… I never


    had any ill intentions toward you or Lina. I have no idea how information about you staying in her room


    got leaked—”


    Zuko interrupted her, his voice turning cold. “Heh! Perhaps a certain b*tch couldn’t keep its mouth shut


    and let out a few barks.”


    Gia’s eyes widened in shock.


    Zuko continued, his tone filled with menace. “Gia Chapman, Violet has been disfigured, and Heidi has


    been driven away. With a mere nod from me, this deceitful teacher might be one of the missing


    persons in Southeast Aciatic by tomorrow… By the way, what do you think these two have in


    common?”


    Gia’s lips trembled, and her palms grew mmy with cold sweat.


    The simrity between them was that they both bullied Lina!


    Zuko let out a chillingugh. “And who do you think might be next?”


    Gia’s face turned pale, and her legs nearly gave way beneath her.


    Zuko shot her a cold nce and strode toward the elevator, making his way to the courtyard. He wasn’t


    in a hurry to deal with Gia personally. She was a minor character in his grand scheme. He intended to


    use her to uncover the mastermind behind her actions.


    Pulling out his phone, he scrolled through his contacts and found Fred’s name. He knew Fred was


    currently in Southeast Aciatic.


    With the incident involving Violet, the Grists had seized the opportunity to pressure Fred, insisting that,


    as her uncle, he had a duty to visit his niece. They forced him toe to Southeast Aciatic.


    Fred was well aware of their schemes but was powerless since he was outnumbered. In the end, he


    had no choice but toply and make a trip to Southeast Aciatic.


    Zuko smiled faintly and sent him the location of a cafe, along with a text.


    [See you at 4:00 p.m., don’t bete.]


    …


    “Oh, Your Lordship, you’re here!” The general manager and two lobby managers rushed over with


    smiles on their faces, greeting Zuko.


    Zuko furrowed his brows and instinctively nced around. Sensing his concern, the manager


    attempted to please him, assuring him, “Your Lordship, rest assured. Your wife is upstairs! She has


    already packed up and is moving into the suite!”


    Zuko’s tense face rxed slightly at the news.


    “Your Lordship, are you satisfied with today’s arrangements?” asked one of the managers

    “I am,” Zuko replied.


    “That’s great! Hahaha…” The manager started tough but was quickly interrupted by Zuko.


    “Just stay quiet, and I’ll be even more satisfied.”


    The manager immediately stoppedughing, realizing his mistake.


    Zuko nced at him and spoke in a low voice, patting his shoulder. “Thanks for your help today.”


    “It’s my honor!” The manager was pleasantly surprised. “As long as you’re happy, Your Lordship!”

    “If my wife has any doubts when she sees you, do you know what to say?” Zuko asked, looking directly


    into the manager’s eyes.


    The manager blinked, adopting a cunning expression. “Your Lordship, rest assured. No matter what


    doubts she may have, we’ll attribute everything to the hotel’s actions and keep it unrted to you!”


    Only then did Zuko show a pleased smile and confidently walked away, heading outside to smoke.


    At a vi in the south of Jangasas…


    Renee woke up startled, once again screaming in her sleep. She sat up, her back covered in cold


    sweat.


    In the short span of two days, it was already the third time she had a nightmare. In her dreams, there


    was always a girl’s face whom she couldn’t see clearly, but she could hear her faint voice saying, “Give


    my parents back to me!


    “I’m Pam Thompson!


    “You’re a liar!”


    “Argh!” Renee hugged herself, feeling a throbbing pain in her head.


    Her cries attracted Toph, who came over holding a bowl of instant noodles, two sausages, and a bottle
