?Chapter 278:


    Katelyn felt a warmth spread through her as she read Vincent’s message. He was always looking out for her, ensuring that everything was taken care of.


    Over the past few days, she had wanted to dig into the background of those two troublemakers, but she hadn’t had the time. Now, she was certain that there was no blood rtion between her and those two, so why did the documents im otherwise?


    She hadplete faith in Samuel’s ability to uncover the truth. If the information in the file was urate, it might suggest that her biological parents had some kind of connection or history with these two.


    It seemed the old woman and her family had nned to use this scheme to switch Lise with their daughter, but due to some twist of fate, Katelyn had ended up switching identities with Lise instead. She had done some research on the couple who had adopted Lise; they imed they had found her abandoned in a trash bin. The whole situation was a tangled mess. It felt like a mystery wrapped inyers of secrets, and nobody seemed to know the real truth.


    Eventually, Katelyn decided to push these thoughts aside for now and turned her attention to her phone, beginning to type. “Thank you for your help, Mr. Adams. But I think I can manage this on my own.”


    Vincent quickly replied, “If you need anything, just let me know.”


    Katelyn couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed. She felt like she owed Vincent more and more, and repaying him seemed increasingly impossible.


    She put her phone down, got up, and went to freshen up, preparing to head to work like any other day.


    Just as she was about to step out the door, her eyesnded on someone she had no desire to see—Neil. He was leaning against his car, dressed in a gray suit, looking as if he had been waiting there for quite some time.


    Katelyn’s first thought was that he was here to talk about the contract.


    ???????????????? ????????: g??????????ν???．????．???．??


    Her second thought was that Neil hade because of Lise. He held a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, and when he saw her, he casually put it out.


    Neil walked up to her with a determined stride, his eyes fixed on hers, and immediately began demanding answers.


    “Why did you send those two people to harass Lise? You know she’s pregnant, and those two are aplete nuisance. There’s no one more difficult to deal with than them. Now they’ve even taken over Lise’s house. Is this really what you wanted?”


    Katelyn could easily imagine how Lise must haveined to Neil about everything that had happened the night before, cing all the me squarely on Katelyn’s shoulders.


    Katelyn’s expression hardened, and a look of disdain crossed her face. “Lise is the one who invited them into this mess. Since they had nowhere else to stay, it makes sense they ended up at her door.”


    Neil’s brow furrowed in confusion. “What are you saying? Aren’t they your rtives?”<fn85d9> For original chapters go to FindN()vel</fn85d9>


    News of the incident at the hospital had spread like wildfire, and the media had been quick to cover every detail. Everyone was waiting to see the results of the paternity test, and some were already convinced those two were, in fact, Katelyn’s family. It seemed Neil had fallen for that assumption as well.


    Katelyn gave a sharp, mocking smile before she replied bluntly, “Have I not made myself clear? Lise hired those two jerks to cause drama. She’s always trying to ruin my life. All I did was retaliate, as any normal person would.”


    Without missing a beat, Neil asked, “How is that even possible? Lise isn’t that kind of person. If you’re trying to frame her, you shoulde up with a better story.”


    Katelyn couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. It was clear that everything that had happened before still hadn’t opened his eyes to the kind of person Lise truly was.


    No matter the situation, as long as Lise spoke, Neil would always stand by her side. Even after Lise’s lies had driven hispany to the brink, Neil still chose to believe her without a second thought whenever something went wrong. If that wasn’t true love, Katelyn didn’t know what was.


    Katelyn felt her patience running thin. There was no point in reasoning with someone who refused to see the truth, no matter how obvious it was.


    “Think what you want; it’s your choice. This was just a minor retaliation on my part. Instead of wasting time arguing with me, maybe you should convince Lise to stop…”


    “She’s getting herself into more trouble. She should really focus on her pregnancy. If shees after me again, I guarantee the consequences will be far more severe.”


    As Katelyn started to walk away, Neil quickly stepped in front of her. His expression turned icy as he said, “You need to take those two away. They mentioned that you personally promised to hand over the house to them.”
