?Chapter 401:
Vincent’s stare was sharp, piercing Katelyn like a de and leaving her feeling slightly overwhelmed.
It was her first time feeling panic. It was also the first time Vincent had looked at her with such intensity and scrutiny.
Katelyn was momentarily unsettled but quickly regained herposure and said with conviction, “Mr. Adams, are you implying that I am TS?”
Vincent responded with a half-smile and remained silent.
Katelyn smiled and replied, “I believe I’ve rified this before, right? I’m merely a designer. I don’t possess any hacking skills.”
She scrambled mentally for the right words.
Vincent’s stare was relentless, scrutinizing Katelyn’s every response from the start. Her behavior seemed genuine, and her eyes were clear.
Could he be misjudging the situation? Perhaps. Katelyn took advantage of his brief moment of uncertainty and added, “If you’re still doubtful, Mr. Adams, why not make another call to check? I assure you, I’m not TS. Why would I lie about that?”<fn246a> Readplete version only at f?ndnovel</fn246a>
Vincent had a serious look on his face. Katelyn truly had no reason to keep secrets from him.
Regarding the call…
He bowed his head and tried the number once more, but still, nobody answered. This time, however, Katelyn’s phone remained silent.
She confidently handed her phone to Vincent. “Look, the number you tried isn’t mine.”
Vincent ended the call, his lips tightly sealed, though uncertainty lingered in his gaze.

Could he be making too much of this?
Katelyn pretended to be intrigued and inquired, “Mr. Adams, have you located TS yet?”
Vincent paused to gather his thoughts before responding lightly, “Samuel is on it until we track down TS.”
Her rm bells rang upon hearing his words. She understood Vincent and his tactics all too well. With…
With this in mind, she nned to stayte tonight to enhance her anti-tracking program, making sure she left no trace behind.
Something about the situation made her uneasy.
She had assisted the Adams Group through a difficult time, which should have positioned her as Vincent’s ally. Yet, his attitude almost suggested he was hunting her down for revenge or something. But why?
Katelyn quickly dismissed the unsettling thought and nodded.
“I understand. When you locate TS, Mr. Adams, please inform me. I would be eager to meet this renowned hacker.”
“Of course.”
Katelyn shed a polite smile, said goodnight to Vincent, and returned to her room. She quickly pulled out herptop and started workingte into the night.
She absolutely had to maintain her secrecy!
The fame and attention Iris had brought her were already too much. If her secret identity as TS were exposed, her situation would be even moreplicated. She continued working until three in the morning before she finally went to sleep.
With nomitments for the following day, she allowed herself to sleep in.
Just as she was settling back into bed for more rest, her phone suddenly rang with an urgent tone.
The caller ID was unknown.
Yet, she recognized the caller immediately.
It was Neil.
Annoyance shed in her eyes. During her time in Yata, she had nearly forgotten he existed. She lifted her hand to hang up, but he was persistent, repeatedly calling until she picked up.
Finally, Katelyn answered the call. Her impatience was unmistakable.
“Are you insane?”
Her voice was cold, as though she was talking to a stranger.
No, she wouldn’t even be this distant from a stranger. Neil could sense her anger. He clenched his fists and said, “Katelyn, you’re with Vincent, aren’t you? After all your plotting, you’ve finally achieved what you wanted. This call is to congratte you on your sess.”
Katelyn responded sharply, “Go seek help if you need it.” They were divorced now, and even if she were really involved with Vincent, it was no concern of Neil’s.
Katelyn decisively ended the call, and at that moment, someone knocked on her door.
