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 his composure and rolled his eyes. "Let go! I skipped breakfast."
"So, you're compensating 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 glanced 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 surveillance footage from that day and sent screenshots of the more incriminating angles."
Chris slammed his hand on the table. "Where are those people? Where's Renee?"
"I've terminated their employment," Zuko said flatly. "We also discovered unauthorized account 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-in-law—"
"What are you talking about?" Chris glared at him. "Of course, I trust her!"
"Then why the face?"
