Chapter 1244
Everyone appeared slightly awkward.
Zuko smiled and spoke with a deep voice while tightly holding Lina’s hand. “Of course, it’s not the
same.
“All the younger cousins call me ‘Zuko’, so you should call me the same.” Zuko smirked, “As for ‘Z’,
that’s an exclusive title for our Pammy.”
As he said that, he looked at Lina with a touch of tenderness rarely seen on his rugged face.
The younger cousins exchanged smiles but remained silent. Desiree’s expression shifted slightly, and
she managed to force out a smile.
The terms of address were only different by three additional letters, but for Zuko, they meant worlds
apart. “Z” was only for Pammy and no one else.
Desiree’s eyes shed with a hint ofplexity, and she felt the need to save her image in front of so
many people. Half-jokingly, she said, “What Pammy? Hah! Isn’t her name Lina Jenner?”
“Desiree, what’s gotten into you?” Toph looked at her. “Don’t you know? Lina is Pammy! She’s the
Pammy whom Uncle Nichs and Aunt Linda finally found!”
Desiree forced a smile.
How could she not know? Janine had told them this story like it was a legend along the way.
The story was about how destined people would end up together, no matter how they went around, and
no one could separate a destined couple. Even God supported Zuko in finding Pammy.
Desiree gripped her ss, and a shadow flickered in her eyes.
At the same time, she noticed that the darkness in Zuko’s eyes seemed even deeper than hers.
She temporarily suppressed her thoughts and looked apologetically at Zuko and Lina. “I’m really sorry!
I always speak before thinking! Sis-inw, Lina, you’re not angry, are you?”
Lina smiled.
“I’m just such a straightforward person. Please don’t take it to heart, Lina. And Zuko, don’t mind me too,
okay?”
Desiree knocked her own head andughed in a carefree manner. “I called you Z when we were
younger, too! But—”
“But that was when we were young,” Zuko interrupted her. “We’re all grown now. Things that need to be
taken note of should be taken note of. What do you think?”
“Mm, yeah!” Desiree quickly nodded. “You’re right!”
Zuko nodded with a gentle smile. His hand had never left Lina, and she stayed being embraced by him
the entire time.

After the weing banquet, Lina asionally thought of Desiree.
Sometimes, Renee would also discuss with her. “Howe Desiree seems to be good at everything?
Basketball, ser, horse racing, gaming… It’s like she excels at everything!”
However, Renee could not muster any interest in all those things. She rested her head on the table with
a hint ofint in her voice.
Lina asked her, “What’s wrong?”
Renee pouted and said in a low voice, “It’s that game Toph often ys. Desiree ys it too! But I… I
don’t know how to.”
Lina furrowed her brow and recalled something that had happened recently.

After the banquet, Desiree would asionally invite her to hang out. She imed she was unfamiliar
with Centrolis and wanted to hang out together as friends.
Lina had apanied her twice to eat, and Desiree insisted on paying the bill each time. Her
generous and carefree attitude resembled that of a boy. Her mostmon phrase was: “I’m always
straightforward and speak without thinking. My mom always says I’m as careless as a boy.”Books

One time, Lina felt like her ears were going deaf from hearing the same thing too much. She smiled
and said, “Not all boys are like that. Zuko’s very thoughtful!”
Desiree was momentarily at a loss for words by Lina’s retort and soon found an excuse to stop
shopping, iming to be tired.
Lina kept a polite distance from her all along, so when Desiree said she did not want to continue
shopping, Lina just waved her hand casually. They then went their separate ways.
–
However, Lina suddenly felt something was amiss after hearing Renee’s words. Desiree was clearly a
girl, but her interests were all things that boys liked. It was not that girls could not like those things, but
it just seemed too coincidental.
“Cuz, do you think I’ve misjudged her?” Renee looked at her with bright eyes. “Maybe Desiree’s just
more tomboyish. That’s why she likes basketball and ser and isidback about most things.”
“Do you think so?” Lina felt a bit puzzled.
She did not want to specte about others without reason, especially since the Harpers were close to
the Bakers and Janine had brought Desiree to Centrolis.
Lina patted Renee’s shoulder and smiled gently. “Let’s not worry about her for now. The opening
ceremony of the film studio project is in a few weeks, and many celebrities will be there. Have you
prepared the proposal?”
Renee handed her a draft proposal with a smile.
The proposal was well-crafted, not only with n B but also with n C, D, E, and F, ready to deal with
various emergencies and contingencies.
“Lina, I’ve been looking at the financial reports recently, and I feel that the Thompson Group’s business
is still too reliant on Sol Entertainment. For arge conglomerate, being overly reliant on one business
is detrimental to the group’s development.”
“I’ve also considered this issue,” Lina said softly, “But even if we want to make changes, we need to
take it step by step. Some of the veterans on the board of directors have been with my father and
worked their way up step by step. They’re also seniors in Sol Entertainment, so we need to take their
situation into ount.”
“I understand,” Renee replied. “Anyway, we can’t rush this matter. We need to take it slowly.”
Just then, Lina’s phone vibrated, and she looked at it. It was a message from Desiree, inviting her to
have dinner together.
Lina was thinking about declining the invitation when Desiree called her.
“Lina, I’ve sent you the address. See you tonight. Don’t bete! Oh, by the way, bring Renee along, too.
Let’s have some fun tonight!”
