Chapter 359


    They were just about to head inside when Rose and Teo walked in from outside. Catching a glimpse


    of Katherine’s silhouette, both eximed in unison, “Leonora, how did you get out here?”


    At the sound of their voices, everyone turned around. Katherine’s eyes, sparkling with mirth, locked


    with Teo’s deep gaze.


    Her heart skipped a beat. Her breathing halted for a moment. Even the grip on Brodie''s arm


    tightened.


    Ever since her memory loss, she hadn’t felt such a flutter around men. The feeling was hauntingly


    familiar, almostpelling her to rush over to him.


    Meanwhile, Teo stood frozen. His eyes lingered on Katherine''s face for a long time. Rose tugged at


    his sleeve and whispered in his ear, “I think we''ve mistaken her for someone else, but she does


    have Leonora''s profile.”


    He snapped back to reality, and patted Rose''s hand, saying, “Let’s go say hello.”


    Casey saw this and immediately approached with a weing smile. “Rose, Teo, my apologies for


    not greeting you sooner. Please,e inside.”


    The group exchanged pleasantries before Casey led them into the main hall.


    Katherine couldn’t take her eyes off Teo. Her body felt as heavy as lead, stiff and unyielding. Brodie


    had noticed his mother’s difort and leaned in to ask softly, “Mom, do you know that man?”


    Katherine stared at him nervously, her voice trembling. “I don''t know, but he makes me feel...


    special.”


    “What kind of special? Fear or familiarity?”


    Faced with her son’s probing, Katherine couldn’t hide the truth. “It’s a sense of closeness,” she


    admitted, her cheeks flushing involuntarily. At her age, feeling attracted to a married man was


    something she found shameful.


    Brodie wrapped his arms around her in aforting embrace. “Mom, don’t be scared. Try getting


    closer to him. It might help you recover your memories.”


    This was also why Brodie had brought her here. The case from years ago was still unsolved, and he


    had a hunch it was somehow connected to ra''s mother''s case – more specifically, to Leonora. If


    they didn’t find the mastermind soon, ra would continue to be hurt, and he and his mother would


    remain targets, just like before.


    Katherine nodded slightly. “I will.”


    During the meal, Teo took the initiative to lift his ss towards Katherine. “I don’t believe I caught


    your name. I''m Teo, Ian''s father.”


    Katherine''s grip on her fork tightened, but her face remainedposed. With a gentle voice, she


    replied, “My name is Katherine. You’re too kind, Mr. Teo.”


    She smiled, raising her ss, and just as she was about to sip, she caught sight of the chandelier


    plummeting down towards Teo. Her throat constricted in fear. Her mouth opened a few times, but no


    sound came out.

    Without a second thought, Katherine dropped her ss and rushed towards Teo. By the time she


    wrapped her arms around his head, the chandelier crashed onto her back with a thud.
