Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Zuko was at a loss for words and breathing heavily. Would this ever come to an end with Lina?

“I’m telling you!” He rarely showed a tough side. “Let’s be done with this or…”

“What?”

“Or never mind!” Zuko said firmly.

Back in the day, Nicholas knelt on the washboard with the same resolute attitude, didn’t he? Now that the washboard had been passed on to Zuko, he wouldn’t be as helpless. He couldn’t kneel directly on it—he must add a cushion!

Lina was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, covering her face.

“Alright, back to the main topic,” Zuko said, playfully tapping her nose. “I think the next step should be to hand over this data to the police. Embezzlement in charity work is not just a moral issue, it’s also a legal one.

“However, these data only provide evidence of the Harpers’ activities in Centrolis. We may need to investigate further to see if they’ve done similar things in Chaiseland.”

“Hand it directly to the police?” Lina asked.

“What else?”

“The Bakers and Harpers have a long-standing relationship,” Lina expressed her concerns. “The interests of both families are deeply intertwined and inseparable. If we mishandle this matter, the Harpers might retaliate.”

Zuko immediately understood and chuckled with a squint. “If we hand the evidence to the police, the Harpers will hold a grudge against us. But if the police are the ones to investigate first, the situation will be different.”

Lina nodded with a smile.

After a few seconds of silence, Zuko messaged Desiree, asking her to visit the welfare home next week. He specifically mentioned they would go to the one her family sponsored so that she wouldn’t get the wrong one.

After sending the message, Lina looked at Zuko with a long gaze.
