"You... How did you get these?" Melissa was the first to react and stared at Lina. "You, girl, didn't actually go and register with him, did you?"
"Mom, what are you saying!?" Dave defended his sister. "Lina didn't leave the house all day!"
"Yes, yes." Jesse nodded. "I came back home at noon, and Lina was working on her thesis!"
"Everyone, don't panic," Zuko said in a deep voice. "These two marriage certificates are fake."
"Fake!?" Everyone was even more surprised.
"Lina said she was afraid that Violet would come looking for trouble again. I thought about it and agreed that it's better to be prepared," Zuko explained simply. "So I got these."
Lina was surprised and picked up the marriage certificates to examine them carefully.
She had seen her parents' marriage certificates before, and they looked exactly the same as these ones. Her photo and Zuko's photo looked incredibly real, and the size was according to the standard of a marriage certificate.
The most unbelievable thing was the stamp.
Lina examined it repeatedly but could not find any flaws.
Jesse and Melissa exchanged glances, their gazes filled with doubt.
Finally, it was Dave who asked the question everyone wanted to ask, "Mr. Door Guardian, how did you get these? Never mind the certificates for now. How did you find my sister's photo?"
Zuko's expression froze.
Of course, he could not say that he had asked Fredric's acquaintance there to make them. Fredric was a prominent lawyer with a wide network of contacts, including those who engaged in "special crafts," such as forging documents and hacking into networks.
The person who created pirated websites obtained Lina's photo from her school records in less than ten minutes.
Zuko cleared his throat and said with a straight face, "Well... I made it myself."
