Chapter 363


    When Joaquin heard Noah acknowledge him, his dark eyes filled with astonishment and happiness.


    She''s right. We''re finally aplete family! The corners of his lips curved upward as he chuckled.


    As Katherine watched the touching exchange from a distant corner of the living room, she couldn''t help


    but crack a grin. The issue between the father and daughter has been resolved. In the end, my


    involvement is not necessary. Moreover, Noah''s affection for and reliance on her father have flourished.


    Then, with a sigh of relief, she straightened up and returned to her bedroom.


    However, her grin soon faded as she entered her bedroom. Then, she cast a wary nce as she


    walked to the balcony to call Owen. "I don''t want to see any news regarding Levisay Group in the next


    few days."


    The man was a quick thinker and immediately grasped that Katherine was instructing him to cause


    trouble within the Levisay Group to slow their momentum. When Owen heard hermand, he felt


    ted and immediatelyplied. "Don''t worry, Miss Katherine. I know what to do."


    Without uttering another word, she hung up the call.


    As Katherine admired the view from the balcony, a chilly light glinted in her bright eyes.


    She had no trouble bringing down the Levisay Group. However, Joaquin was still a member of the


    Levisay Family, and although she was aware of his hatred for them, she did not know what he was


    nning. She believed that, given his skills, he could control the Levisay Group. Moreover, she


    wondered if his low profile in recent years was because he was waiting for the right opportunity.


    Therefore, she did notmand Owen to utterly destroy the Levisays but instead made him oppress


    them to teach them a lesson. Hah! How dare the Levisays try to coborate with W Co. and even use


    my daughter as bait to threaten me? Nevertheless, their n is poorly thought out and despicable.


    Katherine was extraordinary mercy by sparing the Levisays for the time being. For the sake of Joaquin,


    she decided to let them off the hook. There was no assurance that she would make the same decision


    if they tried to pull the same stunt again.


    After pondering for some time, she decided to collect her thoughts and return to the bedroom to change


    her clothes.


    Suddenly, Katherine stopped in her tracks and looked around the room cautiously before her eyes


    settled on the bedside table. She approached the table, looked at the seemingly ordinary surface, and


    opened the drawer. All the items inside were neatly organized the same way as before, but she was


    observant enough to notice the change. Her brows furrowed, and she bolted to the closet for a quick


    peek before racing back to the living room to examine the furniture arrangement.


    Meanwhile, Joaquin conversed happily with Noah on the couch. Soon, he was perplexed by


    Katherine''s actions and inquired, "What are you looking at?"


    She pursed her lips and pointed to the living room shelf with her index finger. "It looks like it has been


    moved by someone."


    Suddenly, he froze up as soon as she said that and warmly urged his daughter to return to her room


    before walking over to the shelf and examining it. He had always had an eye for detail, so he quickly


    discovered something off. "Indeed, it had been moved."


    Katherine said, "Someone has also gone into the bedroom and rummaged through the drawers and


    cabs. They''ve searched all the ces they could find. Although they tried their best to cover up the


    traces and rearranged them to their original state, I can still tell the differences."


    Then, Joaquin knitted his brows and questioned, "Who do you think it is, and what is their purpose?"


    She sneered, and her gaze turned cold. "I don''t even have to think about it. They must havee for


    my grandma''s belongings. Now that the news of her death has spread, someone must have been


    unable to hold back their greed and came to rummage through our house."


    Joaquin had the same thought; his sharp-edged face sank, and his eyes sharpened. Then, he


    remarked sarcastically, "It must have been a rough journey for them toe all the way from Kynd."


    Nheless, Katherine had been vignt in the past few days, as she knew that the items left by her


    grandmother were crucial and could easily cause trouble. So, she hid the box with other things she had


    left behind in Theodore''sboratory. There was a secret room in thatboratory, and when she returned


    to the country, she asked Theodore for permission to install the most stringent security monitoring


    system possible in that room. Moreover, that room had such tight security that even he could not enter.


    As for the items hidden in the room, no one knew what they were except for her and Joaquin.


    She nned to leave it there for some time before returning to check on it. On the other hand, it


    appeared as though the thieves were so eager to steal the items that belonged to her grandmother that


    they traveled all the way to her house to find them. Seeing that the thieves were interested in her


    grandmother''s possessions, it must be crucial. In the wake of that incident, she became increasingly


    curious about her grandmother''s belongings.

    Immediately, she shed a sardonic grin. "Let them be anxious. No matter what they do, the items


    won''t ever fall into their hands."


    Seeing how confident Katherine was, Joaquin could finally rx, and his brows furrowed slightly as he


    asked, "What is your n for now?"


    She looked at him sideways, and a hint of guile shed in her clear eyes. "I had to pretend to be dumb


    and pretend I didn''t know anything, but now… I really want to take a look at it myself."


    After pondering about it, he responded, "Sure. I''lle with you. Anyway, I have kept the keys


    grandma gave me with her belongings back then."


    Katherine shook her head and dismissed his suggestion. "Nah. I''ll go on my own. Things will be


    complicated if too many people go at once. Stay here with Noah. I''ll be back in no time."


    However, Joaquin didn''t find it appropriate and insisted, "There must be many people out there spying


    on you right now. I can''t bring myself to let you go out by yourself."


    In response, she blinked, revealing a slight sparkle in her eyes. "Don''t worry about that. I have a n."


    Following that, she turned around and entered the bedroom. After fiddling around for some time, she


    came out after twenty minutes.


    Joaquin took out the keys and was about to hand them to her when he looked up and was frozen in


    mid-thought by what he saw. "You—"


    At that moment, Noah came out of the room and walked over to stand next to Katherine. Holding her


    mother''s hand, she smiled at her father. "Look how talented Mom is, Daddy! It''s like she knows magic!"


    It turned out that Katherine had transfigured entirely after fiddling around in the room for twenty


    minutes. Her appearance had transitioned from a beautiful young woman to a middle-aged woman with


    a darkplexion and freckles. She was dressed in an outfit that looked quite dated, but upon closer


    inspection, he realized that it was made of high-quality, expensive fabric. While it appeared a little worn,


    it didn''t stand out andplemented the rest of her outfit quite nicely.


    "Why are you—" Joaquin suddenly acted shocked and amused. "I didn''t expect you to be skilled in


    transfiguration too!"
