Only then did Katelyn put her phone away, rise from her seat, and walk over. She pulled out a small antidote pill and pressed it against Sophia’s lips, forcing her to swallow it. The pill wouldn’t completely remove the poison from her body, but it would at least relieve her pain for now.
As the effects took hold, Sophia felt the unbearable torment slowly subside. She gasped, looking up at Katelyn in disbelief. “How is your medicine this powerful?”
They had studied similar subjects—one studying medicine, the other specializing in poisons. Sophia had never believed Katelyn was smarter than her.
Yet the poison in her body had kept her under the control of the T Organization, no matter how much she fought against it. She had spent years researching an antidote, desperately trying to free herself. But every attempt had ended in failure.
And now, with just a single pill, Katelyn had done what she couldn’t. Sophia found it difficult to accept. But the pain steadily leaving her body was undeniable proof—Katelyn was smarter. It was a devastating blow. One that shook her beliefs, crumbling the foundation she had stood on for so long.
After a long silence, she let out a deep sigh and finally muttered, “What do you want to know?”
Katelyn ignored her question. Instead, she returned to her seat and said flatly, “I want to know everything. How much you reveal is up to you.”
Her detached tone made it clear—Sophia had to decide for herself. And the extent of her cooperation would determine just how much of the poison would eventually be cleared from her system.
Sophia had fought against Katelyn for years. She understood the meaning behind those words immediately.
Her hands were still bound. Katelyn hadn’t bothered untying her. Their positions were completely unequal now. And if she refused to speak… this might be her only chance to escape.

Sophia sighed softly. “Katelyn, I don’t actually know as much as you think I do. But I do know one thing—the T Organization’s ultimate goal is to kill you.”
Katelyn froze. She stared at Sophia, confused. “Why?”
She had never interfered with the T Organization’s operations. Why would they target her? What had she done? Had she unknowingly disrupted one of their plans? Was that why they hated her?
No, that didn’t make sense. The T Organization specialized in large-scale crimes, and for years, Katelyn had focused on improving her skills, staying away from major conflicts. She had never done anything to warrant this level of attention. She couldn’t understand why they wanted her dead.
Sophia smirked, her tone mocking. “Who knows? You have more enemies than anyone else. No matter where you go, someone’s bound to try and kill you.”
Katelyn sighed helplessly. She thought about it carefully and realized Sophia wasn’t wrong.
Her gaze sharpened. “Who is the boss behind the T Organization?” That was the key. No matter their reasons, she had to find out who was pulling the strings. Only then could she uncover the truth.
However, Sophia fell silent. A shudder ran through her body. Even now, far from that person, she could feel their presence—cold, oppressive, suffocating.
