?Chapter 279:


    Neil’s gaze was cold, and his voice carried authority. He found Katelynpletely unreadable. Though she was right there, her thoughts remained a mystery to him.


    Everything seemed to trace back to their divorce. No, more precisely, his inability to understand Katelyn began the moment she found out about his affair.


    If Neil could turn back time, he would have regrets. But his remorse wasn’t for cheating itself; it was for his carelessness. If Katelyn had never discovered the affair, perhaps things would have stayed as they were.


    In that case, Katelyn would still be looking after him at home, and Lise would be avable whenever he wanted. If Katelyn knew what Neil was thinking now, she would likely burst intoughter. Such thoughts from a scoundrel seemed absurd.


    Katelyn nodded with a radiant smile. “Yes, I did tell them that. They’re in the house now. There’s nothing I can do about it. Mr. Wheeler, aren’t you also helpless in this situation?”


    Neil pulled a long face, replying, “That’s your problem. You got Lise into this mess, so you should be the one to fix it.”<fn54f7> Content originallyes from FindN()vel</fn54f7>


    Katelyn sneered, “That’s my take as well. Lise started this mess. She needs to sort it out.”


    As she spoke, her eyes shimmered, like sunlight dancing on water. Yet, her face remained expressionless. Upon closer inspection, Neil saw nothing but disdain and coldness in her gaze.


    “I’ll remind you once more. We are divorced. If you approach me again like this, don’t be surprised if I hold a press conference and use you of harassment.” Her message was crystal clear.


    Without another nce at Neil, Katelyn turned and walked away.

    She moved swiftly, and her sports car traced a graceful arc as she sped away.


    Neil clenched his fists, feeling a sharp ache in his heart. He was now truly experiencing the pain of losing her.


    Katelyn headed straight for herpany. The old woman and her son would now be preupied with securing their home. Until the DNA results came through, they likely wouldn’t be bothering Katelyn again. There were two days left, and Katelyn needed to be fully prepared.


    After parking her car, she headed directly to the CEO’s office. As she walked, shepletely ignored the curious stares and whispers from those around her. She knew exactly what they were gossiping about—her suddenly resurfaced family.


    Vincent had already arrived in his office. When Katelyn pushed open the door and walked in, he was reviewing a contract. Their eyes met, and a subtle smile tugged at his lips.


    “I hear you’ve managed to shift the me onto Lise and her hired fakes.”


    A flicker of surprise crossed Katelyn’s face. She hadn’t mentioned anything to Vincent yet, but it seemed he already knew everything.


    On second thought, though, she understood. He was Vincent Adams, a man capable of uncovering anything. Nothing escaped his notice.


    Katelyn smiled gracefully and nodded. “Exactly. Those two fools should teach Lise a valuable lesson.”


    “I’ve sent someone to monitor the DNA test at the hospital and have your samples sent to anotherb. There’s no way for them to manipte the results.”


    Vincent casually tapped his fingers on the table, his tone slow and confident. “Focus on your ns. I’ll take care of the rest.” He had once again helped her, thinking through every possible risk and oue.


    Touched, Katelyn couldn’t help but recall what the old woman had said in the car the day before. She had imed that Vincent had a soft spot for Katelyn.


    Now, with him so thoroughly looking out for her, Katelyn felt a flicker of doubt. Could it be true? Did Vincent really have feelings for her?


    Katelyn quickly dismissed the thought. They were just friends. It was probably just her imagination running wild.


    Before she could think on it any further, her phone suddenly rang.
