Zuko was bewildered. The indecent conversation and crude language stung his eyes.
Zuko scoffed. "What's this!?"
Jacob told him truthfully, "This is chat records between Violet and a male escort."
Zuko was taken aback, his expression changing. "A male escort?"
"Yes." Jacob chuckled. "The kind of men in nightclubs who are handsome and have hot bodies specifically to entertain wealthy women."
Zuko felt a wave of nausea. "Violet has such a fetish?"
"I didn't believe it at first either." Jacob shrugged, his expression complicated. "She doesn't have a good reputation in the circle, but I couldn't believe she'd stoop so low as to hire male escorts. Then I..."
"You tried it out yourself?" Zuko's sharp eyes immediately saw through it.
Jacob froze, his expression complex as he nodded. Then he explained the whole process to Zuko, "I heard that she likes to hire male escorts, so I registered an account and pretended to be one to chat with her. Unexpectedly, she took the bait! She's been trying to meet up with me these past few days!"
Zuko was dumbfounded, unable to hide the twitching of his lips.
"And using that account, I also approached several real male escorts." Jacob continued. "Those guys have served Ms. Grist before. People like them always keep something up their sleeves, so they have a lot of dirt on Violet. This chat record screenshot is just the tip of the iceberg!"
Zuko glanced at him. "So, Violet isn't the wealthy goody-two-shoes like how she portrays herself to be online. She's deceived her fans!"
Jacob nodded. "That's right."
Zuko snorted coldly.
Violet Grist was not only arrogant and conceited but also foolish. Dealing with someone like her would not be difficult at all.
Zuko would first ruin her public image to get even on Lina's behalf.
Lina's expression was serious but polite. "Mr. Welsh, you look handsome for sure, but this line of work is not a long-term plan. You ought to consider your future."
"Huh?" Jacob did not understand what she meant.
However, he saw Lina holding onto Zuko's arm and standing beside him, looking dainty as if she was a helpless little bird relying on him.
"Mr. Welsh, Zeke is honest and reliable and only suitable for honest work. Heh, I suppose you two don't share the same goals...
"In the future, he'll also be prioritizing family and will definitely not engage in any indecorous activities!" Lina's throat felt dry. She looked up at Zuko as if seeking confirmation and asked him softly, "Right, Zeke?"
Zuko was momentarily stunned.
A split second later, he and Jacob realized something—Lina must have heard them mentioning the words 'male escort' just now!
