Katelyn paused for a beat, considering. She didn’t mind the visit, not if it meant getting more information about the Ruiz family. She then gave Amy the name of the hotel.

Amy was practically bubbling with excitement. “Awesome, I’ll be there soon!” She hung up without another word.

A small, knowing smile tugged at Katelyn’s lips. Amy had a fire in her, that was for sure.

But before Katelyn could settle back, she heard the distinct click of the door unlocking. Her smile disappeared, and her body tensed. Without a second thought, she dropped her phone and moved swiftly to the door.

Katelyn stood by the door, her eye pressed to the peephole. To her surprise, Vincent was standing outside.

Katelyn frowned, puzzled. “Wasn’t he supposed to be dealing with the Robles family? What’s he doing back already?” she muttered to herself. Before she could gather her thoughts, the door creaked open, and Vincent stepped inside. His sharp eyes immediately locked onto hers.

He paused, a slight frown forming on his face.

“You’re supposed to be resting. Why are you out of bed?” he asked.

Katelyn crossed her arms and gave him a pointed look. “I’ve been lying around all day. If I stay in bed any longer, I might as well turn into a statue,” she retorted.

Vincent, unfazed, smiled and walked over to her. In one swift motion, he scooped her up into his arms. “You don’t have to worry about that,” he said, his voice calm and steady. “I’ll take care of you, no matter what.”

Katelyn couldn’t resist and delivered a light punch to his abdomen, though it lacked any real force.

Vincent held her close, his embrace both strong and tender. He leaned down and brushed a gentle kiss against her forehead. “Are you hungry? I can have the hotel prepare something for you,” he offered, his voice soft and caring.

Katelyn pulled back slightly, shaking her head. “No, I’m meeting Amy for dinner later. You go ahead and eat by yourself tonight.” Vincent paused, his curiosity piqued. “Who’s Amy?”

“She’s the Gillini family’s daughter,” Katelyn replied without hesitation. “From what I gather, she might know something about the Ruiz family’s downfall.”

Katelyn didn’t hold back; this was something Vincent needed to know. Any information he had could help her, too.

Vincent nodded slowly, his gaze thoughtful. “I see. But the Robles family is already crumbling. Multiple government agencies are suing them. Chester’s sentencing is inevitable; it’s only a matter of time before the final verdict is delivered.”

Katelyn raised an eyebrow in surprise. “What exactly did you do today?” she asked, still in awe. It seemed like Vincent had completely taken down the Robles family.

Vincent reached out and lightly tapped the tip of Katelyn’s nose, his touch playful yet tender.

“It’s all their own doing,” he said, his voice calm and steady. “I just nudged things along.”

Though Vincent didn’t elaborate, Katelyn immediately understood the implication. She nodded in acknowledgment.

“Alright, I’ll check in with Amy and see what she knows. After that, I’ll talk to Chester.”

Given the complexities of Yata’s legal system, Chester’s sentencing wouldn’t happen overnight. That gave Katelyn enough time to plan and make the necessary arrangements.
