?Chapter 1449:


    Upon Katelyn’s arrival, Sophia merely nced up briefly before returning her attention to her book. In a low voice, she asked, “Why have youe?”


    Katelyn ignored the question. She retrieved a bottle of wine from the cab, filled a ss, and seated herself across from Sophia, sipping silently. Her presence seemed less about surveince and more about personal rxation.


    Sophia snapped the book shut, nced at Katelyn, and said, “Go pour me a ss!” She moved in closer to Katelyn.


    Katelyn swiftly stepped back, keeping the ss out of reach and refusing to let hery a finger on it. With a firm tone, she said, “Drinking isn’t an option for you right now. Just deal with it.” Her indifference toward Sophia was apparent; however, Sophia’s survival was crucial for Katelyn’s schemes to unfold.


    Sophia slumped back, her voice tinged with frustration. “You’ve be quite the authoritarian, haven’t you?”


    Katelyn merely shrugged, offering no reply. She enjoyed a leisurely sip of her wine, relishing the sun’s warmth. The ambiance was indeed pleasant here.


    Yet, despite everything… In the very next instant…


    Sophia rose to her feet, grasped the wine ss before Katelyn, and took a sip. She savored the taste of the alcohol as it traveled down her throat, her eyes reflecting pleasure.


    Katelyn remained in her chair, observing Sophia with a cold grin. “Have you not learned from ourst encounter?”


    Looking at Katelyn, Sophia paused to think before speaking. “There’s something we need to discuss, Katelyn.”


    Her expression grew serious. It was clear she had given this matter considerable thought.


    A slight raise of her eyebrow was Katelyn’s only response. She stayed silent, simply waiting for Sophia to proceed. Fetching a new ss, Katelyn filled it with wine, maintaining an untroubled expression.

    Sophia, noticing this, felt her irritation surge and pressed on, her toneced with impatience. “Aren’t you curious about what I want to discuss?”


    Sophia was always infuriated by Katelyn’s demeanor. Katelyn’s cold yetmanding presence was precisely what annoyed Sophia the most.


    However, Katelyn just nced at Sophia nonchntly and replied, “Go ahead and speak. I’m all ears. Or choose not to; it’s your decision.”


    Sophia was at a loss for words. Frustration engulfed her as if something was stuck in her throat.


    Taking a deep breath, Sophia managed to regain herposure and resumed. “You’ve probably heard about the T Organization.”


    Katelyn said nothing, still waiting for Sophia to borate.


    Sophia added, “They are developing a new drug that supposedly grants immortality.”


    “Wait a moment…” Katelyn cut Sophia off sharply. She gave Sophia a look of disbelief. “Immortality? Are you serious about believing in such a concept?”


    From the past to now, how could such a legendary elixir possibly exist? The T Organization, known for its harsh methods and shady dealings, was allegedly pursuing a drug for immortality. That seemed farfetched.
