Her friendly attitude brought a sense of ease, which Katelyn appreciated.

As Katelyn observed Amy, she took note of her striking appearance. With a well-proportioned figure, a classic oval face, and well-defined features, Amy resembled an international supermodel. Paired with her warm demeanor, it was easy to feel charmed by her presence.

“Thank you. You are quite stunning yourself,” said Katelyn with a polite smile.

Although she found Amy’s friendliness refreshing, Katelyn kept her usual cautious distance from people she barely knew. It was impossible to ever truly grasp someone’s hidden motives.

Amy, however, showed no signs of being unsettled by Katelyn’s wary attitude. Reclining lazily against the sofa, her eyes softened with concern as she looked at Katelyn.

“You need to be careful not to provoke them. Those people are far more dangerous than you imagine, and there’s no telling what they might do to you later on.”

Curiosity sparked in Katelyn’s eyes. “Why would you say that?”

Although she was navigating this alone, she had confidence that those people would find it challenging to hurt her.

Amy’s face tensed as she caught the disbelief in Katelyn’s tone. After darting her eyes around the room to ensure no one was eavesdropping, she leaned in closer and whispered urgently, “Because you’ve never heard about the Ruiz family. Two decades ago, they crossed these people, and that’s why they…”

Amy didn’t finish her sentence, but Katelyn had already grasped her implication.

The Ruiz family… Only a short while earlier, Katelyn had been wrestling with how to tackle the issue of the Ruiz family. Now, Amy had unwittingly dropped a vital clue right into her lap.

Katelyn’s mind worked quickly, piecing together a strategy in a matter of seconds. Hiding her true intentions, she put on an air of intrigue.

“That does sound serious. I’ll make sure to tread carefully.”

Although a strong urge to dig deeper into the Ruiz family burned within her, Katelyn knew that haste could ruin everything. She forced herself to stifle the growing impatience and reminded herself to proceed deliberately.

Amy’s shoulders relaxed at Katelyn’s seemingly genuine response.

“I’m glad you understand. Really, it’s best to steer clear of them. It’s for your own safety.”

Amy’s voice grew somber, and a shadow seemed to creep across her features, as though an old and unpleasant memory had resurfaced.

Katelyn’s curiosity deepened. It was hard to ignore the connection between the Ruiz family’s downfall and the Robles family’s influence. However, Amy couldn’t possibly have firsthand knowledge of such an old scandal. Considering how long ago it had happened, Katelyn reasoned that Amy probably hadn’t even been born when it unfolded.

Despite having a slew of questions swirling in her mind, she decided not to push Amy too hard just yet. Instead, she softened her expression and offered a friendly smile.

“Would you mind if we exchanged numbers? I feel like we get along so well. Honestly, I’d love for us to stay in touch.”

Amy blinked in surprise, clearly caught off guard by the suggestion. It didn’t take long for a warm smile to spread across her face, and she nodded enthusiastically.

“I’d love that! It would be an honor to be friends with someone as incredible as you.”

Amy’s cheerful agreement brought a soft laugh to Katelyn’s lips. There was no denying that Amy possessed an effortless charm that made her hard not to like.
