    Chapter 1436


    As Chris reached for his third slice of pizza, Zuko intervened. “Are you trying to eat yourself to death?”


    Chris was taken aback, but he quickly regained hisposure and rolled his eyes. “Let go! I skipped


    breakfast.”


    “So, you’repensating at lunch?” Zuko sat beside him. “I’ll also have a pizza with extra pepperoni,


    please!”


    Julius looked at Zuko in puzzlement, wondering why Zuko was back again.


    Soon, their pizzas arrived, and Zuko joined the eating session. He nced at Chris and asked, “Did


    you hear about the email that got leaked at the Thomson Group?”


    Chris responded glumly.


    “I’ve uncovered the truth,” Zuko revealed. “Renee is the mastermind, and Melvin’s team assisted her on


    the technical side.”


    “Melvin?”


    “That’s right.”


    Chris scoffed. “He’s like an annoying ghost!”


    “Renee reached out to them. She bribed people at the café to obtain surveince footage from that day


    and sent screenshots of the more incriminating angles.”


    Chris mmed his hand on the table. “Where are those people? Where’s Renee?”


    “I’ve terminated their employment,” Zuko said tly. “We also discovered unauthorized ount


    changes and embezzlement. I’ve reported them to the police. They’re under investigation.”


    “As for Renee…” Zuko paused. “She’s gone missing. We’ve dispatched search teams.”


    “Oh…” Chris toyed with his pizza.


    “What’s wrong?” Zuko chuckled. “Why do you look like you don’t trust Lena? Don’t tell me you suspect


    her and my father-inw—”


    “What are you talking about?” Chris red at him. “Of course, I trust her!”


    “Then why the face?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    “I just…” He sighed. “I trust her, but she’s not exining herself. That’s frustrating!”


    Zuko patted his shoulder, torn betweenughter and sympathy. “It’s not the first time you’ve known


    her!”


    Chris looked down.


    That was true—she had always been like that. She didn’t feel the need to exin herself to those who


    loved her, and she couldn’t care less about those who didn’t. Exnations were unnecessary.


    But it still bothered him.


    She shied away from physical contact. Until now, only Lina had been able to get close to her.

    And suddenly, Nichs was added to that list.


    Chris had seen the pictures. Nichs’ hand had rested on her shoulder, and she hadn’t pulled away.


    Her body had even leaned toward him as if she were seeking protection.


    Bodynguage was the most honest form ofmunication. It revealed what was in one’s heart.


    That was what irked Chris.


    He admitted he was being petty, but how could any man in the world remain unaffected by this?


    He wanted to talk to her, but she had been acting as if nothing had happened for the past two days.


    She even sent chicken soup to Lina every day!


    He took a massive bite of pizza and choked, coughing vigorously.


    Suddenly, his phone vibrated. It was a text from the heroine.


    Lena: [I’ve prepared your favorite dishes. Come eatter.]


    He was at a loss for words.


    After devouring three pizzas, how could he possibly eat moreter?!
