Married a Secret Billionaire -
Chapter 1089
"Gia Chapman?" Toph was taken aback.
"Yes." Renee revealed what she knew. "I overheard my father mentioning this name multiple times on the phone, saying that he wanted to eliminate her. Before I came to Centrolis, my father gave me some money, and I secretly used it to bribe someone in the hospital for DNA testing. Gia provided the sample my father sent for testing."
Toph widened his eyes in delightful surprise, clearly not focused on the name Gia. He looked at Renee and grinned openly. "I didn't expect this!"
Renee was stunned. "What didn't you expect?"
"I didn't expect that you'd be capable of bribing someone when you look so naive and delicate," said Toph.
"I..." Renee was at a loss for words. She blushed and hurriedly lowered her gaze.
Toph leaned closer, observing the fluttering eyelashes and cute freckles on her fair face. He couldn't help but smile, feeling as if the world's sunlight was shining on her, casting a unique halo. "Toph..." Renee placed a finger on his chest, lightly pressing. "Y-You're getting too close..."
"Oh." Toph snapped back to reality, feeling as if his heartbeat had skipped a beat. He quickly sat back properly and coughed a couple of times to disguise his embarrassment. "So, you brought me to Jangasas to find Gia?"
"Yes." Renee nodded. "But we have to act quickly. I'm afraid it'll arouse my father's suspicion. Also, my mother is still in Centrolis, and I'm afraid he'll harm her!"
"I understand," Toph said seriously. "You don't have to worry about her. The hospital there has investments from the Hamertons, and I'll arrange for our own people to take care of her."
"As for this Gia..." He frowned. "Do you have any other leads besides this name? Jangasas is so big. We can't search blindly, right?"
"I do." Renee remained calm. "After bribing that person in the hospital, I obtained some information about Gia..."
Renee retrieved her phone, where the information was stored. Though not very comprehensive, there was some useful information, such as a home address, which made things easier. Toph smiled tenderly, realizing that Renee was a clever and resourceful young girl.
"Alright, we'll go find her tomorrow!"
Renee suddenly tugged at him and hesitated momentarily before voicing her doubts, "Toph, actually, I'm not sure if Gia is the real Pamela."
"What?"
"Because given my father's personality, he'd wipe out any potential threats." As Renee spoke, a ripple flashed in her eyes. "But my father has kept Gia until now. I don't understand why..."
Toph frowned. "But since your father repeatedly mentioned her, it proves that she must play a significant role. Regardless, we should find her first!"
"Mm."
Toph looked into her eyes, "Also, even though I really want to tell Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda the truth, I know it's not the right time now. Firstly, it's because of your mother, and secondly, if the truth is revealed, Melvin won't gain anything. He'll likely resort to drastic measures and harm the real Pamela."
"That's right, that's right!" Renee abruptly grabbed his arm, her emotions running high.
Their thoughts coincided. What was more important was that after keeping the truth inside her for so long, someone understood, empathized, and supported her when she finally spoke about it today! Renee smiled gratefully. She realized her hand was resting on his arm and quickly withdrew it, feeling embarrassed.
"Um, we've been talking for so long. You haven't eaten yet!"
