Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1588

Linda shook her head. She hadn't spoken much with Daniel over the years. However, he was always kind to her when they were young.

She recalled a time when she was at university, and Daniel, still in primary school, took money from home to find her in Jangasas all on his own. When Nicholas was in prison, he would frequently call her to comfort her, fearing she would be sad.

His way of thinking was childlike but pure. During her lowest moments, she felt the warmth of family through him.

Later, she would visit him in Cumulus City. They would enjoy joyful conversations with her sibling on the famous food street.

But as time passed, they grew apart.

She had only heard rumors of his involvement in a family dispute. Despite being the least likely to inherit the family assets, he emerged victorious at a young age. People described him as cunning and heartless, showing no mercy to those who crossed him. He became a powerful figure in Cumulus City.

Yet, he still held great respect for her.

In their limited interactions, he continued to care for her. During the years she lost Lina, he even secretly had people searching for her.

"Maybe he has no ill intentions," Linda reassured herself. "After all, he's been in Cumulus City and has no grudges against Centrolis. Perhaps he's genuinely here to invest."

Cordelia nodded. "I hope so."

Meanwhile, someone quietly observed the lively cafe courtyard from afar with a complex smile.

The theme park's renovation began swiftly, surprising even Zuko.

Toph couldn't help but sigh—someone had beaten him to the gift he intended for Arya.

Lina chimed in with a smile. "Get her something else. And how did he beat you to it? He didn't renovate the theme park for Arya."

Lina was curious about the new look. After discussing with Zuko, she was surprised to find they shared similar thoughts. They decided to take their daughter to the theme park, taking advantage of the good weather.

Upon their arrival, they noticed the stark differences from their previous visits.

"Sir—"

"It would be absurd to address me like that," he said as he put away the drawings and put his hands in his pockets, radiating a calm charisma. "Shouldn't you call me 'uncle', Pammy?"

Lina was taken aback, her mind blank.

Zuko hurried over and stood by his wife and daughter, warily eyeing the man before them.

"Don't look at me like that." Daniel grinned. "I'm your family."

Zuko and Lina were bewildered by the sudden appearance of a family member.

Persephone, however, had her guard down.

"Daddy, mommy, he said his last name is Quimby!" Sephy beamed. "He also wants to be my friend!"
