Chapter 378


    Too much of a coincidence? Katherine''s frown deepened as everything that had happened during this


    period shed in her mind.


    In Hovington, she had already transfigured and shaken off those annoying flies that were tailing her, but


    she was still ambushed outside of Theodore''sboratory. It was obvious that the other party was sure


    that she would be there. This must be the doing of a person who knew her very well.


    Other than that, Joaquin and she experienced a hijacking on their way to Zoscistan. Mercenaries were


    ambushing and going after them after the ne was forced tond. In the end, Jayden saved them out


    of ''coincidence''. ording to what Jayden said, he was there by chance.


    However, what if everything that had happened wasn''t a coincidence or by chance? What if everything


    was secretly nned by Jayden? If that were the case, everything would finally make sense!


    Since he was behind it, it was made possible for the mercenaries to chase after them on the same


    night after they left his vi and reached the hotel.

    It seemed like all the dots were connected. Without extra verification, Katherine had already made her


    own judgment.


    At this thought, she bit her lower lip, and her face turned disgruntled. She immediately turned around to


    rummage through her clothes and luggage.


    "What are you looking for?" asked Joaquin.


    With a sullen voice and in a furious tone, she answered, "A tracker."


    Hearing that, he put on a smile and took out a little ck item that looked like a button from his pocket.


    "There''s no need to look for that. I took it out when you were in the shower."


    When Katherine turned around and saw the tracker in his palm, rage shed in her clear eyes.


    Throughout all these years, although she had a cool personality and seldom got in touch with her


    friends in Kynd, she had always seen Jayden as her friend. This was the reason why she didn''t


    suspect him even when so much coincidence happened. She couldn''t believe that it was really him!


    "Why are you still keeping it? Throw it away now. Do you want to continue to let him track us?" She


    became hot-tempered whenever the thought of being betrayed by her trusted friend came into her


    mind.


    As Joaquin arched his eyebrows, he nced at the mess on the ground before gradually turning


    around to look at her. "We should leave this ce first. Let''s talk about it when we''re safe."


    Katherine just pressed her lips together and didn''t say anything.


    Without wasting much time, they changed their clothes and left the hotel.


    "Where should we go now?" she asked him while they were standing at the entrance of the hotel.


    After some thought, he asked, "Can we go to your LW Laboratory?"


    She had no idea that he would ask her that, so she was a little surprised. "We can, but…" The tracker


    in his pocket suddenly came into her mind. "You''re keeping this tracker to let Jayden know where we


    are going, right? So, why should we go to the LW Laboratory? There''s a signal blocker there. The


    tracker will lose its signal once we get there. What do you have on your mind?"


    Yet, a faint smile tugged on his lips as he said, "As long as we can go there. Let''s go. We''ll talk in the


    car."


    "What car?" Her eyes flickered when she heard that. Initially, she wanted to ask Dn to send


    someone to pick them up, but she saw Joaquin walking to the right and opening the door of a car.


    Of course, she was a little surprised. Her eyes were darting between the man and the car. "Is this…"


    With his coal-ck eyes shining even brighter that night, Joaquin gave her a smile in reply. "I have


    some connections in Fontan. It''s not a difficult task for me to get a car here. Hop in. We should go


    now."


    Without saying anything, Katherine entered the car as he said, her eyes glimmering.


    Almost immediately, the car started its journey in the dark.


    The streetlights looked dim from inside the car. As Katherine was staring at the shing street view


    outside the window, she suddenly remembered something. "No wonder…"


    Since there was finally an answer to her doubts, she couldn''t help but mumble with a scornful


    expression.


    "What is it?" While driving, Joaquin nced at her.


    When she turned around to look at the front, her expression was a little upset, and her voice sounded


    sulky as well. "I suddenly remember the time when I was creating a special elixir, it was leaked


    somehow, but luckily, that elixir doesn''t bring any harm. At that time, I ran an investigation but didn''t


    obtain any results in the end. And with other matters on hand, I stopped the investigation. So, it was left


    unsettled. Come to think of it now, Jayden came by my house once when I put that report there, and it


    disappeared after he left. I took him as my friend at that time, so I''ve never suspected him."


    At this point, a smirk yed on her lips, with an ironic essence around her brows. "I really can''t believe


    that the person whom I trust so much has already started plotting against me a long time ago."


    As Joaquin was driving the car, heforted her, saying, "Don''t be upset because of those unworthy


    people and things."


    "I don''t feel upset; I just think it''s ironic." In fact, she was telling the truth, for she wasn''t upset at all. She


    was a person who would embrace everything she faced, so she would never waste her energy being


    upset because of those unworthy people. However, there was still some doubt left in her. "It seems like


    you have already known everything and knew that he would track us a long time ago."


    Hearing that, he arched his brows. "Yes, but not a long time ago. I only noticed that everything was too


    much of a coincidence after he saved us. And that night, when I went downstairs to pour you water, I


    heard him talking on his phone in the dining room by chance. The moment he mentioned mercenaries,


    I became certain that it was him."


    When Katherine recalled his strange behavior these past two days, she suddenly understood


    everything. "Oh, so it''s because you found out about his identity. I thought you were…" She ended her


    sentence abruptly since she was embarrassed to say the word ''jealous''.


    However, even if she didn''t say it explicitly, Joaquin could still guess it. As his beautiful hands were on


    the wheels, his long finger was tapping on the wheel rhythmically. A mere smile could be seen from the


    corners of his eyes and brows. "It''s not entirely because I found out that he was the one behind it. Of


    course, there are some other reasons."


    Suddenly, he paused and used the tip of his tongue to touch the roof of his mouth, expressing his


    annoyance. "His eyes were like they were fixed on you. He just rubs me the wrong way. Do you think I


    can still be nice to him? I''m sorry, but I''m not that tolerant."


    When she heard that, her heart started beating faster. She looked down a little and mumbled, "He just


    pretended to fall for me because he wanted to plot against me."


    However, that was not what he thought. Although it was a fact that Jayden was plotting against


    Katherine, it wasn''t true that he didn''t have feelings for her. Of course, Joaquin wasn''t going to tell


    Katherine about this.


    After clearing his throat, with a calm expression, he started talking about business, "Actually, I only


    know that he was the one who sent the mercenaries. His identity is still uncertain. Do you have any


    ideas, Kathy?"
