    Four years ago, she snuck into the border between Clusia and Northwyn, tore down a giant scam ring, and helped countless Clusians get free. Then she blew the whole thing wide open online, and that was how Queen shot to fame overnight.

    However, after that, Queen just disappeared. She never appeared online again. Stranger still, every trace of her presence was wiped away, as though she had never existed at all.

    Ethan’s eyes lit up with admiration. b“/bbIf /bsomeone that sharp isn’t Mystery, then it’s gotta be Queen.”

    “Interesting.” Andrew frowned, his deep eyes unreadable, void of any emotion. He murmured under his breath, “Queen, right?”

    “We’ll keep digging,” Ethan said quickly.

    Andrew stayed silent, looking down at Olivia, who was enjoying her dessert, his expression heavy as he fell deep into thought.

    “That’s just dumb.” A yful voice drifted in from the door. Jenny stood there with a notebook, staring at them in disbelief.

    “Ms. Shea, you shouldn’t-” Ethan muttered nervously, worried Andrew would blow up.

    Jenny walked right in. “I’m only telling the truth.”

    “Then enlighten me. What brilliant idea do you have?” Andrew squinted.

    “Easy. It’s gotta be someone who hates the Evans family.” Jenny sneered. “They pissed off so many people. Retribution was inevitable.”

    Ethan caught her meaning instantly. “Ms. Shea, you’re saying this is revenge, right?”

    Jenny nodded and said, “Instead of chasing after this so–called Queen, why not investigate who the Evans family has offended recently? Perhaps the one they crossed is Queen herself.”

    Andrew nodded slightly, thinking Jenny had a point. “Ethan, investigate the Evans family’s connections. I want a list of everyone they have wronged and harmed.”

    Ethan looked troubled. “The Evans family has offended far too many people. Sorting it out may take time.”

    “Start with those who bore the deepest grudges,” Jenny said, exasperated by his slowness. She could never understand how someone as brilliant as Andrew ended up with such a dumb assistant.

    “Got it. I’ll get on it at once,” Ethan said.

    Andrew loungedzily on the couch, looking totally rxed, though his eyes still held that chilly, distant look he always had. Deep down, he was sure the mysterious hacker wasn’t done yet.

    “Was this all your n?” The door flew open, and Winston barged in, clearly fuming.

    “Grandpa, don’t get upset,” Andrew replied coolly. “The doctor said you need to keep your temper in check.”

    Winston rolled his eyes at him. “Stop dodging me. Why did you refuse the Revival Grass? Do you have any idea who I went through all that trouble for?”

    “I told you I only want her treatment. No one else will do.” Andrew stepped behind Winston and began kneading his shoulders. “Besides, that Revival Grass was a fake.”

    Ethan realized this talk wasn’t for him, so he quietly left.

    “I get it, but you’re not getting any better. We need to act fast.” Winston sighed deeply. “The Evans family was just too greedy, so it’s no surprise they crashed. You did well today.”

    Andrew didn’t show a flicker of emotion. “I know.”

    “I’m notplimenting you,” Winston said, crossing his legs. “You need to face the truth about your health.”

    “Don’t worry. I’ve been fely.” Andrew kept his face neutral, working on the massage. “We don’t need the Phantom Healer. My current doctor is good enough.”

    Suddenly, a pang in his stomach reminded him of Olivia’s medical skills. It seemed he would need ito /ifind time to see her again.

    “Who else could treat you besides the Phantom Healer?” Winston looked conflicted. “I had pinned my hopes on Henry, but with the Evans family’s sudden copse… never mind.”

    Andrew stopped what he was doing and smiled. “Naturally, there is someone who can fix me.”

    Winston yed dumb. “Who is it?”

    “Stop pretending.” Andrew sat down, rolling up his sleeves as he picked up a cup. “Ethan must have already told you about me.”

    “I don’t get it. Why would Ethan tell me about you?” Winston cleared his throat and took a sip of coffee.

    Andrew remained silent. He knew that besides his bad temper, Winston had an insatiable curiosity. The less he was told, the more he wanted to know.

    Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Winston couldn’t contain himself. “Alright, who is it? That little girl was here earlier, right?”

    “Didn’t you figure it out already?” Andrew raised his eyebrows.

    “I want you to say it yourself.” Winston wasn’t even sure if he was right.

    Since Andrew had been treated by her once, his appetite had improved noticeably. That was great news for the Shea family.

    He wanted to know who the girl was. He wanted to meet her, thank her, and see if she was actually pretty.

    “bIs /bit that interesting girl?” Winston rested his chin in his hand, thinking hard. “She’s very pretty, and I quite

    like her. She seems professional and humble, unlike those from the Evans family. Could it be her?”

    Jenny desperately wanted to interrupt them and tell him it was indeed her.

    However, Andrew had warned her not to say too much, or she wouldn’t be allowed to see Olivia again. Thinking of this, she held back her words.

    “Take a guess. I know you’ve always been sharp,” Andrew said, raising an eyebrow, his tone tinged with mischief.

    Winston didn’t bother arguing. He knew Andrew was always the most calcting of the Shea family.

    “I’ll ask Jenny,” Winston said, scooping up Jenny. His voice softened immediately. “Tell me, is it that girl?”

    Holding her toy, Jenny cast a timid nce at Andrew.

    Andrew staredzily at Jenny, the intensity in his gaze unmistakably threatening.

    “I have no idea,” Jenny yelled, terrified of crossing Andrew. She broke free from Winston’s hold and ran off. “Andrew said I can’t tell.”

    “Andrew, are you deliberately teasing me?” Winston snapped, anger ring as he mmed everything on the table to the floor. “I am your grandfather.”

    Andrew said, “Rx, Grandpa. It’s not good for your health.”
