?Chapter 1638:


    At that moment, Katelyn’s phone buzzed. She checked the screen, then turned to Jaxen. “Something’se up. I need to go. And remember, no one can know I’m alive. Keep it to yourself.”


    If the T Organization discovered she was still alive, the consequences would be far too dangerous.


    Jaxen gave a firm nod, fully aware of how critical it was to keep everything under wraps.


    Katelyn turned on her heel and made her way to the study. She found Ashlyn still sound asleep, then quietly slipped in her earphones to monitor Sophia’s conversation with the others. Katelyn had arranged for her phone to notify her with a message anytime Sophia started talking to someone.


    As soon as she slipped in her earphones, Sophia’s voice came through loud and clear.


    “Boss, from everything I’ve found, Katelyn really was Hades. But now that she’s dead, does that mean we’ve hit a dead end?” she asked.


    Her voicecked the usual arrogance she showed in front of Katelyn. Instead, there was a trace of tentativeness in her tone.


    Katelyn paused. Although she had expected Sophia to go down this path, hearing it out loud still caught her off guard.


    At that moment, Sophia knelt before him, her eyes dark and heavy with a suffocating intensity. He didn’t say a word. He simply stared straight at her. That look alone was intimidating enough.


    Still, Sophia remained on her knees, her head lowered as she deliberately avoided meeting his eyes.


    A cold, sharpugh slipped from his lips. “Do you really think I’d buy that?”


    Katelyn was Hades? She was already known as Iris, a jewelry designer. She had other faces too. And now she was supposed to be some kind of legendary healer? That was beyond believable.


    g?lnσν????s?c?m fuels your imagination


    How old was Katelyn, really? How could someone that young manage to reach heights most people chase their whole lives? It sounded like nothing more than a fairy tale.


    T moved closer, seized Sophia’s chin in his hand, and said coldly, “Or do you think I’m so easy to fool? You really believe you can spin a story good enough to fool me?”


    His grip on her chin kept tightening. It was so firm, it felt like he might shatter her jaw right then and there.


    Sophia had no choice but to lift her head and face him. Her eyes flicked up to the ck, fanged mask he wore, and for a moment, a flicker of fear surfaced in her gaze. She quickly shook her head. “No, I’m not lying. I’ve got proof that Katelyn is Hades. It’s all in here. Please, take a look.”


    She pulled a USB drive from her pocket and offered it to him.


    He stared at the device with a cold, unreadable expression before taking it and passing it to one of his subordinates. “Verify it,” he ordered.


    He was curious to see what kind of proof Sophia had managed to bring back.


    Although he had been mentally prepared, Sophia’s words still rattled him. Some part of him had been hoping he was wrong all along. He had clung to the possibility that his suspicions were misced. If that were the case, then Hades would still be alive. The elixir of immortality would still be within his grasp.
