After reflecting on Vincent’s words, Katelyn agreed and started texting Austen. “Send any documents you have straight to my email.” Austen responded, “Okay.”

Katelyn was determined to uncover the truth about her biological parents. Without this goal, she wouldn’t have interacted so much with Elora’s side.

Upon seeing the message, Vincent chuckled and asked, “Are you feeling better now?”

He was aware of Katelyn’s nervousness. With a warm smile, Vincent gazed at Katelyn and couldn’t resist gently tousling her hair. Katelyn appeared more vulnerable than she let on. She had portrayed herself as overly strong.

Resting in the car seat, Katelyn glanced at Vincent and nodded with a slight smile. “Yes, let’s head home.” She now simply had to await the details Austen was gathering.

That evening, Katelyn fell asleep shortly after arriving home.

Upon waking the following morning, her first act was to review the data Austen had sent.

Just as she was about to check her phone, Katelyn reached for the home’s landline and dialed Alfy’s number.

Alfy responded without hesitation, and Katelyn asked, “How are you feeling today, Alfy? Has your strength started to return?” She assumed Alfy would feel rejuvenated after resting overnight.

Alfy, still sounding groggy, replied, “Much better, though I could use more sleep.”

Katelyn smiled and browsed the new emails in her inbox. “Get some more rest then,” she said.

After exchanging a few words, Katelyn ended the call. She then turned her attention to the emails from Austen.

According to the information, the Ruiz family had vanished suddenly due to uncovering vital secrets. Many people were involved, all under the authorization of the previous king. Crucially, the records named an entity—the T Organization.

Katelyn’s expression became one of deep confusion. She had not realized that this matter was connected to the T Organization, which had apparently existed for over twenty years and still had not been dismantled.

A realization struck Katelyn abruptly. If the organization had lasted this long, could it be that the current king of Yata had permitted its existence? There were still some shady tasks that required these people to complete. But something so repulsive… This king…

The thought alone was too daunting for Katelyn to entertain further. If that turned out to be true, the consequences would be frightening. These things could prove to be truly horrible.

A wave of fear began to take hold of Katelyn, but she understood that there was no turning back now. Whether or not the Ruiz family had done something wrong or acted out of line, the truth had to be uncovered.

Her resolve to discover the identities of her biological parents was unwavering. This was what mattered most to Katelyn.
