After sending Kaitlyn back, Cordelia sat in the living room, deep in thought. She then recounted the day's events to Zephyr.
Upon hearing it, Zephyr furrowed his brows.
Both of them felt that something was off, that there was an illogical aspect to it, but they could not quite pinpoint what exactly was amiss.
"If Kaitlyn is truly plotting to gain control of the assets of either the Thompsons or our family…" Zephyr said in a low voice, "Then why didn't she collude with Melvin while he was around? Why would she advise Renee not to seize things from Pammy?"
"Exactly." Cordelia nodded. "Back then, Melvin had complete authority, and we couldn't ascertain for sure if Renee was Pammy. That should've been the best opportunity!"
"She didn't ask for money back then, and now she wants to secure benefits for her daughter?" Zephyr chuckled lightly. "This is all very strange!"
Cordelia fell into silence, glancing at her two sons.
The eldest was engrossed in work, diligently handling business affairs on his laptop.
The second son was lounging on the sofa, absorbed in a mobile game.
Cordelia pursed her lips and slapped Toph's leg. "Get up!"
Toph jumped up with a yelp, innocently staring at his mother. "I'm about to finish! Mom, this is a nationwide ranking match!"
"Almost getting married, and all you care about is games?" Zephyr's eyes widened even more than Toph's. "Can you make a living playing games?"
"Of course." Toph smiled and moved to his father's side, wrapping an arm around his neck. "Dad, I'm a professional esports player now. I earn quite a bit after a match! My next goal is to become a gaming commentator. With my expertise, I won't earn any less than my brother!"
"You..." Zephyr was left huffing.
Thinking about the Hamertons' history of serving as high-ranking officials or generals for generations, with women also making significant contributions in various fields, how did they come to this with Toph focusing his achievements on gaming?
