Katelyn glanced at Vincent, gave a brief nod, and murmured, “Thank you.”

Without another word, she turned and made her way into the lounge.

Vincent didn’t move to follow. He stood there, watching her leave, his gaze sharpening, betraying a flicker of something else.

Katelyn wiped off her makeup, her natural look returning. Only after that did she make her way to her ward. She washed up, then settled into bed, letting her body finally unwind. Reaching for her phone, she planned to catch up on the news.

At that moment, a knock echoed from the door. Katelyn glanced at her phone and called out, “Come in.”

Her eyes lifted on their own, and she saw Vincent standing in the doorway, tall and composed as he stepped into the room.

Katelyn placed her phone down, offered a gentle smile, and asked, “Mr. Adams, what brings you here at this hour?”

Vincent walked over to the side of the bed, his steady gaze fixed on Katelyn as he said in a calm tone, “I need to show you something.”

A wave of doubt washed over her. He had come all this way, this late, just to show her something?

But instead of asking, she stayed silent, her eyes following Vincent as he pulled out his phone, opened an app, and handed it to her.

As soon as Katelyn saw the screen, her hands shook, and the phone nearly slipped from her grasp. The video played, each scene more graphic than the last, too much to bear.

Katelyn lifted her eyes to Vincent, but the words wouldn’t come. The phone felt as if it was searing her palm.

Why was Vincent showing her this? She had known him long enough to understand that he was a man who knew where to draw the line. This left her utterly confused.

Vincent stayed calm, sitting quietly as he said, “Pay attention to the woman in the video.”

At first, Katelyn had only noticed the group of men and the woman, not really focusing on her. How could she possibly concentrate on the woman, especially with such content playing right in front of Vincent?

At Vincent’s suggestion, Katelyn took a closer look, feeling a bit embarrassed. A single glance was all it took for Katelyn to freeze.

Zoey? Why was she the one?

Shocked, Katelyn turned to Vincent, her voice trembling as she said, “Why is she involved in this?”

No matter how badly Zoey needed money or wanted to rise in society, Katelyn couldn’t believe she would ever do something like this.

As she looked more closely, Katelyn noticed the video was on the dark web, a hidden corner of the internet known for illegal activities.
