Vincent had always been mindful of boundaries, never prying or getting too personal.

But the fact that he asked such a question now showed his suspicion that something was off about the recent call Katelyn had taken.

Katelyn calmly checked her call log and said, “It was Aimee, reminding me to send in a design.”

While she spoke, she pointed out the call’s duration, which appeared completely normal.

Vincent felt his doubts fade a bit; it seemed like it was just a coincidence.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. Make sure to take some time to rest,” Vincent advised.

Katelyn smiled politely and replied, “I will, Mr. Adams.” As she tucked her phone back into her pocket, a wave of relief washed over her. She was thankful she had taken precautions before joining Vincent and Jaxen.

Her phone held a self-programmed app that could create fake call times and logs, making them look completely real.

Katelyn knew Vincent too well. Once he started to suspect something, it would take strong evidence to convince him otherwise.

Her foresight had helped her dodge his questions once again. Katelyn let out a quiet sigh.

Hiding her true identity and dealing with others’ suspicions was tiring, but she had no other option.

She had been warned that if she ever exposed her identity without permission, she would lose her master forever.

When TS gained fame as a brilliant hacker, everyone thought she was just a free spirit.

But what they didn’t know was that someone had been using her master as leverage, pressuring her to uncover scandalous information on the rich and powerful, which only filled the perpetrator’s pockets.

However, this manipulation had suddenly stopped three years ago.

Katelyn often pondered why. The most likely reason was that the culprit had gathered enough wealth.

Blackmail like that could turn a poor person into the world’s richest man in no time.

Since then, she had been trying to discover the identity of the mysterious figure but had no luck. Still, she was determined to rescue her master one day.

Discovering that Alfy had been taken by her own ally brought some relief to Katelyn and the others, but knowing it was linked to the T Organization cast an uneasy feeling over the room.

The tension was thick, especially with Jaxen, who was normally carefree and full of laughter but now sat unusually silent.

Katelyn couldn’t help but look at him in surprise. His sudden quietness felt jarring, and she found it unsettling without his usual jokes.

“Why do you look so deep in thought?” Katelyn asked, examining him closely before a smile broke through. “Are you perhaps thinking about Alfy?”

Jaxen almost choked and quickly replied, “Don’t be ridiculous! I’m just upset that I didn’t get to teach her a lesson. Next time I see her, I’ll make sure to get even.” However, Jaxen’s eyes briefly sparkled at the mention of Alfy, only to fade away quickly, like a shooting star that lit up and disappeared in an instant.

With her experience in matters of the heart, Katelyn easily recognized what was happening.

“Who would have guessed that the famous ladies’ man would actually yearn for someone for a change?” she teased.

Jaxen had been in so many relationships that he probably lost track of them.

But now, he had fallen for Alfy, as if fate had finally paired him with his equal.

Jaxen coughed in annoyance and replied seriously, “What do you mean by ‘ladies’ man’? I’m just kindhearted and want to make every woman feel loved.” Katelyn was left momentarily speechless.

She paused for a moment before saying, “Okay, okay, you’re just kindhearted. I hope Alfy will appreciate your… kindness.”

That hit home, and Jaxen’s expression shifted to one of resigned frustration. For more chapters visit fin?novel.net

At that moment, the door opened, and the doctor and nurses came in to give Vincent a thorough check-up. Katelyn quietly observed from the side, thinking about how Vincent’s recovery could affect his future.

“Mr. Adams, it looks like your wounds aren’t healing as well as we had hoped. We have a new medication that might help boost the healing process, but it could also have side effects…”

“Effects on your mental state. We can’t promise it will work. Would you like to give it a try?” the doctor proposed.

Katelyn’s eyes narrowed at the medication the doctor was holding.

“You mentioned it could affect the mental state. Does that mean this drug could cause mental problems?” she asked.
