?Chapter 1639:


    But now Katelyn was dead. That meant Hades had gone too. No. He refused to ept it!


    T’s anxiety was palpable, haunted by the possibility that his darkest fears might be reality. But despite his unease, he pretended he had everything under control.


    The subordinate stayed quiet until he finished pulling all the files from the USB drive. Then he said, “Boss, the contents confirm it. Katelyn really is Hades.”


    Katelyn was caught off guard upon hearing the news. Since she was limited to overhearing their conversation, her curiosity about Sophia’s alleged proof deepened. She was eager to discover exactly what Sophia had handed over to identify her as Hades.


    Yet, as Katelyn’s curiosity grew, T was already scrutinizing the proof Sophia had submitted. His voice trembled with disbelief as he spoke. “No, this can’t be real. It must’ve been fabricated. You’re telling me the Granville doctors confirmed she’s Hades? Could they have lied to us?”


    Even now, he remained reluctant to ept Sophia’s evidence as genuine. But deep down, he had already epted that Katelyn was indeed Hades. This realization also meant he might lose his only chance at developing the elixir of immortality.


    Achieving eternal life had always been his deepest obsession, and now, faced with the crushing reality of failure, eptance felt impossible.


    He had assembled the world’s most skilled medical experts, yet none had delivered the miracle he’d hoped for. Countless resources had been poured into this quest, and now it seemed like everything had slipped through his fingers. The bitterness of this defeat felt harsher than if he’d never tried at all. Sophia stayed quietly by his side, witnessing the silent battle he fought against reality.


    Meanwhile, Katelyn understood that someone from Granville’s hospital must have betrayed her, revealing her identity as Hades. Clearly, not everyone could be trusted.


    T fell back against his chair, utterly defeated. No, he refused to ept this oue.


    But suddenly, a flicker of understanding passed through his mind, presenting a new possibility.


    What if Katelyn was still alive? At this point, this slim hope was all he had left to cling to.


    He jumped to his feet, excitement swiftly recing the despair in his eyes.


    This sudden shift puzzled Sophia, who had no idea what he nned to do next.


    He then turned to Sophia and said urgently, “Sophia, send someone right now to look into Katelyn’s death. I want to know if she’s actually gone!”


    The more he considered it, the stronger his conviction grew that Katelyn might still be alive.


    Sophia stared back at him in disbelief, clearly startled by the unexpected demand. Watching him closely, she saw the wild desperation in his eyes and knew he was clinging desperately to denial.


    She chose not to challenge him and promptly answered, “Understood!” She could empathize with his desperation to some extent. Yet, she couldn’t help but feel the irony of the situation. He was the head of the T Organization, yet here he was, refusing to face what was right in front of him. It seemed absurd.


    Even Sophia, despite her deep grievances with Katelyn, had epted Katelyn’s death without question.
