A Replacement Bride

Chapter 365

When Katherine heard Joaquin say that, an icy glare flashed in her eyes. "Only the living room?"

He nodded. "They must have predicted we would be extremely cautious in checking out the bedroom. Thus, there were no cameras there. They only installed hidden cameras in the dead corners of the living room where they would be easily missed. That way, they could continue spying on us. I only thought about that after you left. Hence, I checked the whole place once more. As expected, there were several cameras."

She frowned. She had checked the bedroom from top to bottom before leaving. Even then, she did not examine the living room. Nevertheless, she ignored that room because there was not much furniture. It seemed like she had been too careless. Life has been so eventful and hectic lately. With limited time to focus on everything, it was hard to prevent missing out on something.

Their enemy must have seen her disguise. That was why she was followed. However, Katherine had already thrown off everyone following her. How did the mercenaries find her?

Moreover, she went out the back door. If their enemy did not know the place beforehand, they must have combed the entire area to encircle the laboratory. Even then, how did they know she would be there? While her job with Professor Muller at the laboratory was not a big secret, few knew about it.

When Katherine was racking her brain over it, Joaquin grabbed her hand. "Let's go. Get it in the car first. While those men are gone, this place is still not safe. We can talk once we're home."

She nodded, then asked, "About back home—"

"Don't worry." He knew what she was going to ask. "I have asked Jeremy to thoroughly search the entire place back home. My men have even combed through the area around Soulin International. Everything is so well-guarded that not even a fly can enter without us knowing."

She only relaxed after hearing that, so she grabbed the backpack and followed Joaquin to the vehicle.

Back home, Katherine first checked on Noah. After experiencing a traumatic event, the girl could only relax at home, where she was fast asleep in her bed.

Instead, they were patiently waiting in ambush. They might not know there is a secret room or a trapdoor inside. However, they had their men be ready.
