An unknown intruder was attacking Katelyn’s laptop system. Katelyn quickly spun around and began defending her laptop from the cyber-attack. Earlier, she had only switched tabs without closing the running program. If the hacker succeeded, all the data would be at risk of exposure.

Luckily, the hacking attempt ended quickly. Once she managed to stop the breach, Katelyn reinforced her security measures and closed any running background processes.

When she finally looked up, Vincent was staring at her intently. A wave of panic surged through her. Oh no, she realized. In her focus, she had completely overlooked the fact that Vincent was still right beside her.

Vincent’s piercing gaze was locked onto her as if he were trying to peel away her mask and reveal who she truly was. The recent hack had been his doing, with Jaxen acting as his pawn to challenge her. Though it was only a minor probe, Vincent had already gathered the insights he was after.

“You’re pretty adept at handling cyber-attacks,” he commented, his tone laced with hidden implications.

With a calm manner, Katelyn shut her laptop and casually responded, “Katelyn’s one of the best hackers out there. She showed me a couple of tricks, but I’m nowhere near her level.”

Her words took Vincent by surprise. It made him think back to his earlier efforts to prove that Katelyn was actually TS. Katelyn never revealed anything unless there was undeniable proof or she chose to unmask herself. But as he stared into those uniquely unfamiliar brown eyes, a flicker of uncertainty crossed his mind.

Did he make a mistake? Was it possible they weren’t the same person?

If not, then why did her eyes look so vastly different?

Closing her laptop, Katelyn faced Vincent with a composed expression.

“I’ll go check on Katelyn in the restroom.”

Without missing a beat, Vincent looked at his phone and answered calmly, “The breach in my company’s firewall has already been resolved. No need to bother her about it.”

At his reply, Katelyn’s suspicion was confirmed—it had all been a setup to test her.

With a small, knowing smile, she nodded.

“Alright then.”

Even as she spoke, Katelyn seized a brief second to revert to her true persona. She took out her colored lenses, exposing her real eye color underneath. As she approached Vincent once more, her eyes displayed a convincing look of surprise.

“Mr. Adams, what a surprise to see you at the hospital like this!”

Vincent’s eyes narrowed as he scrutinized her, but Katelyn’s face stayed perfectly composed, betraying nothing.
