Zuko and Toph’s safety was the top worry for Zephyr and Cordelia. To ensure their parents’ peaceful retirement,
they needed to ensure their own safety first.
Zuko hugged Cordelia and patted his father’s shoulder. He understood that despite Zephyr’s calm appearance, he
was truly concerned. However, he couldn’t reveal his vulnerable side in front of Cordelia.
“It’s okay, everything’s fine,” Cordelia’s voice trembled as she looked at her older son. “I was so scared!”
“Toph’s had good luck since he was young.” Zuko faintly smiled. “Mom, don’t worry too much. He’s destined for
good luck. He’ll be okay!”
“But this car accident is strange.” Zephyr’s brow furrowed. “He’s always been a decent driver. How could this
happen—”
Before he could finish, Lina arrived with a few people.

Zuko walked over to Lina, who gave him a small smile.
“These detectives are my dad’s friends. When we heard about Toph’s accident, I informed them. This case isn’t
complicated, and it’s already been solved while Toph was getting treated!”
“Really?” Zephyr and Cordelia rushed over.
“Dad, mom, don’t worry.” Lina held Cordelia’s hand. “Zuko and I have an answer about who’s responsible. We
asked the detectives to confirm our suspicions.”
“That’s right.” One of the detectives smiled. “Ms. Thompson and Mr. Hamerton guessed correctly. The culprits
behind Mr. Toph’s accident belong to a small gang, and they’ve been apprehended.”
“The one leading them is… Kaitlyn?” Zuko narrowed his eyes.
The detective nodded.
“They confessed that Kaitlyn ordered them to monitor Mr. Toph. They used a heavy truck and purposefully collided
with him, causing substantial damage to the car. Luckily, Mr. Toph’s car has high safety ratings. Otherwise, it could
have been a tragedy.”
“Damn it! I want her killed for hurting my son!” Zephyr was livid.
“Dad, please calm down.” Lina advised, “The one who tried to harm Toph isn’t the real Kaitlyn, but her split
personality.”
Zephyr did not respond but gently embraced Cordelia’s shoulder.
“This is a bit troublesome now,” Cordelia said softly. “She’s Toph’s future mother-in-law and Renee’s biological
mother! We…”
“Dad, mom, don’t think too much for now,” Zuko said. “The most important thing now is to let Toph recover with
peace of mind.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“But…” Lina was worried. “It’s not just about Toph’s recovery. The most crucial thing now is that Kaitlyn is missing!”
The group fell into silence again.
Just then, another detective, who had briefly left to make a call, returned with a smile directed at everyone. “My
colleagues finished the interrogations.”
Lina was surprised. “Already?”
“Those fellows weren’t mentally strong and confessed quickly. They admitted that they were working for Kaitlyn.
She paid them, and the money came from an account owned by someone named Melvin Thompson…”
Lina and Zuko were stunned.
Kaitlyn hadn’t declined money from Melvin. The true Kaitlyn, however, didn’t want to be connected to Melvin. Yet,
her alter ego had no problem accepting his support.
This explained why Melvin had pressured Renee into impersonating Pamela multiple times.
The detective added, “The plagiarism of Ms. Thompson’s project design has been resolved too. It was Kaitlyn who
did it.”
