Lise’s gaze turned icy, her face hardening with an expression that spoke of pure loathing. Katelyn had changed so much after her divorce, becoming a top designer in her own right. With Vincent’s support, she was practically unstoppable, a force no one could stand against.
To defeat her, they’d need to find her weakness and strike where it would hurt the most.
A dark glint flashed in Lise’s eyes.
Katelyn walked back into Vincent’s hospital room, shutting the door softly behind her to block out the noise from the hallway.
Vincent, leaning back against the headboard, studied her with concern, noticing the tiredness in her eyes. “Is everything okay?” he asked.
“It’s the same old drama; when will they finally give up?” Katelyn replied with a sigh.
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang sharply from her pocket, pulling her attention. Follow current nov?ls on find~novel~net
Katelyn’s eyes darkened as the name flashed on her phone screen. Without hesitation, she pressed the answer button.
An excited voice greeted her. “Katelyn, I’ve processed the sample you sent over. This specialized drug is a new development, researched exclusively by a private laboratory and hasn’t hit the market yet.”
She clenched her fist, her voice cold. “Send me the lab’s name and detailed information.”
“No problem.”
After ending the call, Katelyn quickly received the information she had requested. The investigation into Kristina’s situation had hit a dead end since the overseas account couldn’t be traced. However, Katelyn had sent a sample of Carol’s medication—containing the unknown substance—for analysis. Identifying the buyer of the unreleased drug could narrow down the list of suspects and potentially expose the mastermind behind the plot.

This new lead was a breakthrough. The fact that the drug was unreleased would significantly shrink the suspect pool.
Katelyn hadn’t avoided Vincent during the call. He watched her closely and asked, “Are you still investigating Mrs. Wheeler’s case?”
She nodded, her expression grim. “She’s been out of the game for years, holds no grudges, yet someone has poisoned her twice in quick succession. They’re likely targeting me.”
Facing an invisible enemy was far more dangerous than confronting one in the open. The only way forward was to uncover the true antagonist rather than remain perpetually on edge.
As they discussed, Katelyn reviewed the information about the lab. It was a global consortium focusing on developing specialized treatments for unique conditions. The lab, named GC Laboratory, was headed by a young scientist named Amiri Faulkner, reportedly around thirty years old.
