Lina’s expression darkened, and anger surged within her. She was about to say something when Zuko stepped forward and blocked her behind him. It momentarily stunned her.

Zuko’s broad back shielded her completely, preventing her from seeing Violet’s malicious smile or the wicked faces of the thugs. He was like a wall, isolating her from the ugliness of the world.

Lina’s heart warmed, and she wore a barely noticeable smile.

Zuko’s voice turned cold. “Ms. Grist, if you have something to say, say it to me.”

“Say it to you? Who do you think you are?” Violet crossed her arms and sneered. “It seems like you’re enjoying your newlywed life. You’re quite protective of her! Is this little b*tch skilled in bed to make you so devoted?”

“Violet Grist, watch your mouth! You—”

Before Lina could finish her sentence, Zuko pressed her head back behind him.

Lina then lifted her little head from under Zuko’s arm on the other side. “Violet! You—”

“Go back!” Zuko continued to press her like he was playing whack-a-mole.

Regardless, he would not allow Lina to face this group of people alone.

Violet clapped her hands and sarcastically remarked how deeply in love the two of them were. She then signaled with her eyes, and immediately someone from the van unloaded boxes of drinks.

Violet’s voice became sharp. “Lina Jenner, let me tell you some good news. Our Rose Dew from the Grist Group has been rebranded and relaunched! Hahaha! Are you disappointed? You reported us for such a long time, but we’re still making money! How many merchants are still on your side?”

Lina bit her lip. Unfortunately, this “wall” in front of her was thick and solid, denying her any opportunity to curse at people.

Violet was triumphantly pleased as she pulled out a procurement contract.

It clearly stated that all beverages in Jazzy Mint supermarket were to be procured from the Grist Group for a period of 20 years.
