"What did you say?" Renee could not believe it.
"It's true," Jacquelin replied casually. "Sandra previously used the computer Lena is using. You know who Sandra is,
right?"
Renee paused.
Sandra used to be an excellent salesperson, playing a big role in the sales department's success at one time.
However, her remarkable skills and good looks had made others, especially Jacquelin, jealous.
Jacquelin had been worried that Sandra's exceptional performance might catch the eye of the company's higher-
ups, especially Elijah. Thus, she had secretly messed with Sandra's computer. That way, anything Sandra wrote on
her computer, whether it was documents, reports, or chat records, would also go to Jacquelin's computer.
Later, Sandra left the company due to health reasons, and the computer had remained unused. That was until Lena

"So, you've known everything she's written from the beginning?"
"Yes." Jacquelin smirked. "But she's an odd one. She rarely writes on her computer. It was just that one time when
we were working late..."
During that late-night overtime, Lena had not had her diary with her, and her anxious expression had caught
Jacquelin's attention. Jacquelin had found it unusual because Lena had always been composed, even in the face of
significant events.
She had discreetly accessed the surveillance equipment and monitored Lena's computer.
"I saw what she wrote then. She mentioned how kind her elder sister was to her, how she worked in her sister's
company, and how she asked her mother not to worry...
"I didn't understand it at first." Jacquelin grinned. "But later, I figured it out. Her sister... isn't that Ms. Pamela? Jade
brought in Lena. And Jade... Well, who else but Ms. Pamela could instruct her?"
Renee's scowl deepened.
"Ms. Renee, I should be correct in my analysis, right? What else could she be if not Mr. Thompson's illegitimate
daughter?!"
"That's enough!" Renee did not want to hear any more.
She did not know how she managed to walk out of that prison. When she was outside, the sunlight was blinding. She
instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes, suddenly feeling like she was better suited to stay in the shadows.
Her hatred for Lena had been reignited. Originally, she had been under the impression Lena came from a pathetic
background, but she turned out to be Nicholas' daughter!

Zuko was working in the study while Lina sat on the couch, quietly admiring her diligent husband. She smiled as she

With the months passing, she found it increasingly difficult to move around. During this time, she decided not to go
to the company, entrusting all the work to her husband.
Zuko did not ask for much except for a bit more spending money...
Lina moved behind him and gently massaged his shoulders. "Honey, you've been working hard during this time."
Zuko smiled and took her hand, inviting her to sit on his lap.
Lina had gained some weight, and together with the baby, they were heavier than when it was Lina alone.
However, this feeling of having the whole world in his arms made the extra weight worth it.
Zuko softly kissed her forehead.
Working for her, even for a lifetime, did not feel like hard work.
"Everything is going well at the company, so you don't need to worry," he said softly. "Lately, the real estate sector
has been performing well, but I think we shouldn't forget our original business.
"After all, the Thompson Group made its fortune through Sol Entertainment. So, I've invested in three more movies
and had the entertainment department sign new talents."
