Chapter 81
As soon as Katherine entered her house, she received a call from her assistant, Savannah
Davis. Hence, she sat on the couch casually and picked up the video call.
Almost immediately, Savannah's serious face showed on the screen of her phone.
Savannah was in charge of everything related to the test laboratory in Fontan, and she
managed a few companies as well. Every month, she would report the condition to
Katherine.
Katherine sat there and listened to her casually. The company was developing quite well,
and it was expanding to Cechirus methodically. All in all, there was nothing she needed to
be worried about.
After Savannah reported everything about work, she paused for a moment and talked
about other things with a straight face. "Miss Cornell, there was someone looking into Mrs.
Cornell and Mrs. Olsen."
"What?" Katherine's casual expression turned serious at once. She sat up straight and
stared at Savannah on the screen, waiting for her to continue explaining.
"We've back-tracked them but were noticed by the other side, and they blocked us. So, we
couldn't track those looking into them."
"I got it. Let me deal with this." Katherine took this matter very seriously.
It had been 10 years since Elsie's passing, but someone was looking into her at this time.
This was something extremely strange. As for her grandmother, it was easier for her to
understand. Because of her, it was not a strange thing for Jennifer to be looked into.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked Savannah, "Send my grandma's
information to me. My mom's too."
Savannah didn't ask anything and just replied to her affirmatively. They hung up the
phone after some small talk.
Within 10 minutes, Savannah had already sent the documents to Katherine's email.
When she opened and looked at it, her brows knitted together tightly as their documents
were so simple that it looked like someone had purposely erased some of their past.

especially obvious when she saw the name 'Jennifer Moran'. Instinctively, she thought
about Morgan, whom she had met in Professor Muller's laboratory because her last name
was Moran as well.
Elsie's document made her snap her brows together even tighter. Only her basic
biography was listed on it—when she was born, when she went to school, which school
she went to—and there was nothing else other than that.
After looking through their documents, she sent Savannah a text message. When she
knew this was the most detailed information they could find, she stared at Elsie's photo on
her computer screen in a trance with a frown.
On the other hand, on the top floor's president suite of the Pacific Nebula Hotel, Kian was
covering his mouth and coughing. There was an unhealthy blush on his pale face. When
his cough calmed down a little, he looked at the person in front of him. "You didn't find it?"
"Yes, Mr. Grant. We've looked into Jennifer Moran and Elsie Olsen. Elsie passed away in an
accident eight years ago and left behind a daughter. As for Jennifer, she left Cechirus for
Fontan five years ago and hasn't come back since then. From what we found, her health
hasn't been too good. So, she's receiving treatment in Fontan. Other than this, there isn't
any useful information." The person who answered him looked like he was in his 40s. He
had a square face, making him look righteous.
After being silent for a moment, Kian nodded with some thought in his mind. "Not finding
anything is not strange at all. Since the clue ended here, there's no need to continue
looking into it anymore. You can go back now."
"Understood," the other party replied to him. After that, he added, "By the way, when
we're looking into their documents, we were back-tracked, so there might be someone
trying to hide their information on purpose."
Hearing that, Kian was quite surprised, but only for a few seconds. He lost interest almost
immediately. "Elsie is the only one who knows what happened at that time. Since she has
passed away, it's not necessary to look into them anymore. You can return to Kyoland and
tell father that we can't find any clue on mother."
"Okay."
After the middle-aged man left, he sat on the couch and daydreamed for a little while. Just
then, Katherine's exquisite face appeared in his mind. He touched his own face
subconsciously and laughed bitterly.
The time for treatment that Katherine set with Kian was 10.00AM on the next day, and the
venue was Soulin International.
On the next day, Kian arrived at 9.00AM sharp. When Katherine heard the doorbell, she
opened the door and was startled for a second, looking at the man outside the door. After
that, she stepped aside and let him in.
Before Kian entered, Joaquin's door beside hers was opened. He changed into a silver
mask today, covering half of his face, giving off a don't-come-over vibe. It was obvious
that he was still not in a good mood.
Katherine lifted her head and glanced at him for a second before looking away. Then, she
led Kian into the house and closed the door. At this moment, Joaquin frowned a little. He
only looked at Kian for a second just now but felt that he might have met him before.
He stood at the entrance and stared at the closed door for a few seconds before looking
away and walking outside.
Some trouble came up in Area Seven. When they went to dig into the black market, a few
comrades were seriously injured, and their lives were at risk. So, he needed to rush over
to deal with it.
On the other hand, after Katherine let Kian in, she poured him a cup of water.
Meanwhile, Kian gave all the herbs that he had prepared to her. After glancing at them,
she was quite surprised. It was out of her expectation that these herbs were not only okay
but they were aged more than she expected.
"Is the Grant Family specialized in planting and selling herbs?" she asked subconsciously.
Hearing that, he smiled kindly and didn't hide it from her either. "Yes. The ancestors of the
Grant Family were doctors for the royals, but the members of recent generations are not
really talented in traditional medicine. So, we're selling herbs to make a living."
At this moment, she thought about the information that she had found. After being silent
for a moment, she nodded as if nothing had happened and took the herbs into the kitchen.

Since she returned to the country, she didn't have time to build her own laboratory, so she
didn't have the necessary tools to make the medicine. In the end, she just proceeded with
the pressure cooker.
Luckily, the effect was not bad. She carefully processed the herbs before placing them on
a stove and starting the fire to slowly boil them. Then, she came out of the kitchen and
checked Kian's body.
"Hmm? What did you eat yesterday?" She noticed something wasn't right as soon as she
read his pulse. The toxin in his body was much more active than it was yesterday. He had
probably consumed some new toxin yesterday, which stimulated the toxin in his body.
Seeing her serious expression, he didn't hide anything and told her everything he had
eaten after leaving the black market.
"Throughout the treatment, don't consume any other medicine other than the medicine I
give you. As for your diet… There's a Country House Restaurant in the alley of West City.
The herbal course there is quite good. You can try going there." After being silent for a
moment, she couldn't judge where the problem was at once, so she could only give him
some advice.
Hearing that, Kian nodded in acknowledgment. Meanwhile, Katherine turned around to
take out a silver needle. After pausing for a while, she asked him to come over.
She couldn't be disturbed in the process of the acupuncture treatment. Since Kian's
condition was slightly complicated, she needed to be extra careful throughout the
treatment.
Katherine asked him to take his shirt off and lie down. Although he was slightly
embarrassed, he still took off his clothes obediently and lay down on the bed after looking
at her serious face, which didn't have any other thoughts for him. He even scolded himself
inside for overthinking.
At this moment, Katherine was thinking about where she should land her needle, so she
didn't notice anything strange about him. When her gaze landed on his body, there was a
slight change in her expression.
This person actually has a rose birthmark on his chest, just like me?
