“I will never take off my mask. Not even for you. I won’t break my principles.” Updates are released by f?ndnovel.net
“In that case, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
Without hesitation, Katelyn moved in. Her strike was fast and fluid, like a leopard darting for its prey. The person pretending to be her must have dangerous intentions. She couldn’t let that kind of threat stay.
With one swift motion, she aimed for the mask. But despite her speed, the imposter’s reaction was just as quick.
In a single, effortless move, they dodged Katelyn’s hand.
The fake Hades’ voice turned icy.
“I won’t hold this against you because you’re my friend, but if you try that again, I won’t be so forgiving.”
“Imposter, take off your mask!” Katelyn charged forward once more. She had trained in combat techniques that focused on hitting the body’s weakest points. Her punch shot through the air with a whoosh, but the fake Hades’ fist came at her just as fast. The two fists collided with a loud crack, sending Katelyn stumbling back. The imposter did the same. Their movements, their speed, even their fighting style — it was like facing her own shadow.
Vincent stepped forward quickly to steady Katelyn, who had been knocked off balance, his voice sharp and demanding. “What’s going on here?” he asked.
Katelyn’s eyes were icy, and her words came out through clenched teeth. “This person is an imposter. She’s not the real Hades.”
The fake Hades stood upright and let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Katelyn, what are you talking about? If I’m not Hades, then are you? You were the one who asked me to come treat Mrs. Wheeler, and now you’re making a scene.”
“That’s nonsense!” Katelyn’s anger surged, almost overwhelming her. She bit down on her lower lip, forcing herself to take a deep breath and calm down.

Though she didn’t yet know who this person really was, it was clear she had planned this carefully. What was the imposter’s goal in pretending to be Hades and getting into Carol’s room?
Katelyn shook her head at Vincent, signaling that she was okay. Once she felt steady, she spoke with cold certainty. “I would never mistake my friend. You’re an imposter!”
“Katelyn, I’ve already given you a chance. Are you trying to push me away?” The imposter posing as Hades spoke, her voice hardening as she shifted her gaze toward Neil.
“I’m here to help your grandmother. If I’m pushed out, she’ll never get up again. Mr. Wheeler, isn’t it time you spoke up?”
The imposter Hades pulled Neil into the argument, her tone dripping with mockery. “You, Katelyn, are the one who wants Mrs. Wheeler to suffer the most. Remember when you told me to stop treating her? My priority is always my patients. When I said no, you went behind my back to try to set me up.”
