The media, always eager to seize an opportunity, naturally didn't let go of this headline and immediately put Zuko and Abigail in the spotlight.
Little did those media outlets know that the hotel wasn't even the place where Zuko stayed! He had been there that day because Jacob was attending a legal forum in Southeast Aciatic, and Zuko had met with him there to give instructions to the hotel staff about taking care of Jacob.
Who knew it would be twisted into a story of Zuko and Abigail being passionately involved in a love affair at the hotel!?
However, the trending topic only lasted a few minutes before the Hamertons' PR team forcefully suppressed it, and the journalists responsible faced legal consequences.
Zuko had always disliked public appearances, so he remained silent about the matter. What about Abigail? She didn't even provide an explanation and simply disappeared!
Over the course of two years, the incident gradually faded from the fickle masses' memories. However, no one expected Abigail to make a comeback at this moment...
"Well, it's not hard to understand," Toph analyzed. "After all, Alluring Gail is an artist, and she's still under Imperial Media. How will she survive if she doesn't come back and earn money from acting?
"In the end, it's been two years, and it didn't cause much of a stir even back then. Her team claimed she went abroad for further studies during these two years, and her contract with Imperial Media hasn't expired yet. Coincidentally, a few big productions are coming up recently, so...
"The timing of her comeback is basically perfect!" Toph shrugged.
"Not for me!" Zuko felt a headache coming on. If Abigail was making a comeback, her team would surely bring up the old incident to generate buzz before releasing her work. And what better material to use than that incident from two years ago?
He wouldn't have cared if it had happened before, but now he had Lina...
Zuko's eyes widened as he crossed his arms and huffed.
"Bro, I don't think it'll happen. Those reporters involved faced legal consequences back then, and no one dares to joke about you, the esteemed young heir, now!"
Zuko's gaze darkened as he remained silent.
"But... you never know." Toph furrowed his brows. "The Internet has a memory."
Zuko said, "I remember you were the director of Imperial Media's PR department, right?"
