?Chapter 1489:


    They found themselves in a violent confrontation that ended with him being beaten to death on the spot.


    Fortunately, the ambnce navigated the clear traffic efficiently and arrived within forty minutes, ensuring the young girl received prompt medical attention and was transported to the hospital.


    After the ambnce had departed, Hry looked at Katelyn with evident admiration. “Miss Bailey, your intelligence andpassion are remarkable. It’s no surprise Mr. Adams holds you in such high regard.”


    Katelyn responded with a modest smile, dismissing thepliment gracefully. “You give me too much credit, Earl Crane. I merely acted as any responsible citizen would. It really was the least I could do.” She was determined not to seek personal glory from the situation, maintaining a humble demeanor throughout the ordeal.


    Bernie nced at Hry, then revealed, “She’s actually Alfy’s mentor.”


    This revtion seemed to illuminate Hry, sparking visible admiration. “Oh, so you’re Alfy’s mentor? That exins your exceptional abilities.”


    Katelyn maintained a polite smile, though inwardly she was less than thrilled. The constant stream of formal praises was bing tiresome. Bertrand, observing quietly, offered a prating look toward Katelyn but chose to remain silent, opting not to join the flow ofpliments.


    Just then, a familiar voice broke through the monotonous exchange. “Katelyn.”


    Hearing Vincent’s voice brought a sudden sense of relief to Katelyn. Engaging in these drawn-out, often superficial conversations was far from her preference. She had originally intended to spend more time with Bernie through the house-buying process, wanting to see what was really going on with him. However, her n had yet to yield significant insights, leaving her in an increasingly ufortable predicament.


    Vincent approached with his usual reserved demeanor, nodding politely to everyone present. His expression, however, remained as cold and unreadable as ever.

    Hry and Bernie, ustomed to Vincent’s distant manner, exchanged brief greetings without expecting warmth. They knew better than to take his cool demeanor personally; after all, even figures of high stature orded him a certain deference.


    Bertrand, however, visibly stiffened in Vincent’s presence. The man intimidated him, especially given the stories of Vincent’s past actions that lingered in his mind.


    Once pleasantries were dispensed with, Katelyn seized the moment to address the group, her tone apologetic yet firm. “I must excuse us, as we have urgent matters to attend to. Thank you for your understanding.”


    Her words left little room for objection, and without dy, Vincent guided her away, his swift actions reinforcing her decisive words.


    Bernie and Hry shared a look of mutual understanding as Vincent and Katelyn departed, their expressions filled with spection. The air around them hummed with unspoken thoughts as they watched the duo disappear into the distance.
