Chapter 1255


    Lina and Renee fell silent at the same time. The name Madame Krys had brought them back to the


    time on the ship. They had thought they had forgotten about it, but the narrow cabin, the wounded girls,


    and the ferocious eyes were ying in their heads like a movie. It was a traumatic experience, as well


    as an unforgettable memory.


    “Maybe,” Lina said softly. “Maybe she’s really rted to Madame Krys. Even though she saved our


    lives, she broke thew. We can’t tell whether this Lena is a friend or a foe just yet, so we must be


    cautious.”


    Renee nodded. “Cuz, if you really want to find out, why don’t you go there a couple more times?”


    Toph quickly interjected. “It’s a dangerous ce. Better to stay away!”


    Renee looked at him and smiled but said nothing more.


    The group parted ways and went home after chatting for a while.

    Desiree had been quiet these days. She used to hit Zuko up daily, but she now dared not even text


    him.


    When Toph was ying games, he would notice that her avatar had been offline.


    “Ha! I didn’t know that Pammy was so fierce!” he eximed while ying. “Desiree dares not even go


    online to y games now that Pammy has shown her her ce!


    “Watch out, bro. She’ll bring a gang to end you if you make her angry!


    “Don’t drag me in when you guys fight!”


    A pillow was tossed at Toph as he spoke. It hit him in the head.


    Zuko sneered. “You sure have much to say!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated

    Zuko was getting ready for work. He was fixing his tie in front of the mirror. It was Lina who had picked


    out the dark blue suit for him through the video callst night.


    He checked himself out. The more he looked, the more he thought something was missing.


    “Toph, do you think I’m missing a belt?” he asked.

    Toph had just drunk a mouthful of milk and almost spat it out. “Hahaha… You want a $400 belt as


    well?”


    In reality, Zuko had many belts. Cordelia took care of most of his sons’ stuff. She was never stingy, and


    a belt that cost a couple of thousand dors was the cheapest one.


    However, Zuko thought something wascking with those belts.


    “Of course!” Tophughed happily. “That’s the difference between your wife and mom! Don’t worry, I


    certainly won’t tell mom that you don’t like the belts that she bought for you— Mmph!”


    Before Toph was done speaking, Zuko covered his mouth from the back and strangled his neck lightly.


    The siblings fought for a while, and it ended with Toph losing the battle.


    Though Toph was unwilling to yield, he was worried about Zuko. “Let’s talk business. Nothing else


    matters now, but if Desiree talks nonsense in front of our grandmother, then Lina…”


    “So what?” Zuko raised his eyebrows. “She is our grandmother, not hers.”


    “But the Harpers have been friends with the Bakers for generations,” Toph said carefully. “Grandma


    might have to protect the family’s reputation.”


    “Reputation is for those who deserve it.” Zuko smirked. “Though the Goddess of Death is old now, she


    is still sharp. Don’t worry!”


    Toph thought about it and smiled. Janine had always been on the side of justice. She did not care who


    the viin was; she would fight them no matter what.


    Meanwhile, she would protect people she liked with all her might.


    Therefore, Desiree’s nonsense would not shake their grandmother.


    Also, Desiree might have found out about their grandmother’s character and decided not to say


    anything at all.


    “The Thompson Group’s film studio will open two dayster.” Toph asked, “Everything good on


    Pammy’s side?”
