Zuko coughed twice and said through gritted teeth, "You talk too much."
Toph smiled and asked, "Zuko, are you worried that Pammy won't be able to accept this reality? After all, her new family is treating her well."
Zuko paused for a moment and reluctantly admitted, "I do have that concern.
"I'm also worried that if Lina doesn't want to return to the Thompsons, it'll be a significant blow to Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda."
"Yeah, that's true." Toph nodded. "So we need to take this slow."

Meanwhile, Melvin paced back and forth in the villa. He noticed a trinket on the windowsill that displeased him and angrily threw it against the wall.
"That b*tch!"
The housekeepers and servants stood still, afraid to approach him, unsure of whom he was referring to.
Melvin panted heavily.
He couldn't blame anyone else for this matter. He had underestimated his own daughter!
He didn't expect Renee to be just like her mother—appearing harmless on the surface but more scheming than anyone else!
Now, she had helped the Hamerton brothers uncover the whereabouts of Pamela, and she had also exposed Gia's identity...
They would come after him next!
Melvin clenched his fists tightly, veins popping on his forehead.
He gripped his phone tightly, dialed a number, and forcefully enunciated each word, "You find a way for me... Don't let Pamela's identity be exposed all the way to Centrolis!"
Gia remained silent for a moment and let out a light snort. "Mr. Thompson, the Hamerton brothers are in Jangasas now. I can't get close to Pamela or Renee."
"I don't care! You caused this mess! You damn well better solve it for me!"
Melvin's anger turned into rage, and he almost crushed the phone in his hand.
