Zuko’s smile vanished, replaced by a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes. “I’ve warned you,” he said. “If anyone dares to harm my woman, I assure you they will suffer a fate far worse than death. Ms. Chapman, did you think I was joking?”

Gia stammered, attempting to defend herself as the situation escalated. “M-Mr. Hamerton… I never had any ill intentions toward you or Lina. I have no idea how information about you staying in her room got leaked—”

Zuko interrupted her, his voice turning cold. “Heh! Perhaps a certain b*tch couldn’t keep its mouth shut and let out a few barks.”

Gia’s lips trembled, and her palms grew clammy with cold sweat.

Zuko let out a chilling laugh. “And who do you think might be next?”

Gia’s face turned pale, and her legs nearly gave way beneath her.
