Chapter 1392
Renee looked at Toph and snorted. Of course, she knew exactly what she was saying.
After losing her mother, she did a lot of thinking. The more she thought, the more she realized how
foolish she used to be. She had been so foolish, giving away things she could have easily held onto.
She had been naive, letting others use her as a stepping stone without even realizing it.
If her mother hadn’t insisted that she stop impersonating Pam, how would the real Pam have
returned to the Thompsons? How could she ever have a chance to reconnect with Zuko?
Her mother had been incredibly kind to them, but they had shown no gratitude!
And then there was Melvin. Despite her strong dislike for him, on the day of his execution, she felt like
her heart was burdened with a heavy stone.
After that fateful day, she had no parents left. She became a true orphan. In this world, she could only
rely on others, be pitied by others, and ultimately be considered expendable.
Renee suppressed the tears that welled up, forcing them back.
“Toph, I know what I’m saying, and I know what I want.” She gently held his hand. “I want to be with
you. I want to have a home of our own!”
Toph frowned. “But I’m already working hard to give you a home, aren’t I?”
“Do you think drawingics will make you sessful? The Hamerton Group is so big, do you really
think there’s no ce for you? Your parents won’t actually leave everything to Zuko, right?”
“You…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“The Thompson Group, too!” Theplexity in Renee’s eyes left Toph baffled. “I’m also a Thompson,
and I should also have a share in the Thompson Group! When I said I wanted to manage thepany
for Lina earlier, why didn’t you stand up for me? Instead, you let Lena take the advantage!”
“Renee!” Toph shook her by the shoulders.
If this could work, he really wished he could shake some sense into her!
“Renee, how did you be like this? You used to be…”
“I used to be too naive, not fighting for anything, so I couldn’t even protect my own mother!”
Toph stood in a daze, his hands holding her shoulders slowly slipping away.
“Toph, I don’t ask for much. I just want what’s rightfully mine!” Renee’s eyes reddened. “You’re the
same! I know you won’tpete with Zuko, but you should at least im what’s yours! Even if you
don’t care about yourself, you should consider our future!”
Toph looked at her for a long time and softly called out, “Renee Thompson.”
Renee paused. He had never addressed her with her full name like that.
“Toph, you—”
“I feel like something’s changed between us.” Toph’s expression and voice were equally subdued.
His indifference felt foreign to Renee, and even Toph found it quite unbelievable.
“N-No!” Renee managed a weak smile. “I’m still the same as before. It’s just that now… Now that we’re
getting married, I’m thinking more!”
“You’re thinking too much. You’re assuming things I’ve never even thought of!”
“Toph!”
“Renee, you’ve known me for more than just one day!” Toph’s tone grew stronger. “You should have
known long ago that I don’t want topete with my brother for anything. I can’t surpass him either!
I’ve never envied him for getting more than me. I’m his younger brother, and he won’t treat me unfairly!
“My parents love me dearly, my grandparents also adore me, and my brother treats me well. I feel like
I’ve already received a lot of love from the Hamertons! I want to share that love with you. But why do
you keep forcing me to go against my family?”
Renee turned pale and involuntarily stepped back.
“I really don’t have much ambition.” Toph sighed wryly. “I just want to draw, y games, and be with the
person I love. If you’re expecting a life of constant struggle and rivalry, then I’m really not capable of
that!”
He let go of her hand after saying that.

Renee widened her eyes. The moment he let go of her, it was as if she had stepped into thin air, falling
from a height, her entire being shattered.
This was the first time Zuko visited Chris’ ce.
