Chapter 889:
Her chest tightened. “You claim to know my mother’s past. How do I know you’re telling the truth p>
Elliana had to admit his logic was sound. If he turned out to be lying, she certainly wouldn’t hand over something as valuable as the Medical Codex. Regardless, she was determined to retrieve what belonged to her mother.
The Medical Codex wasn’t just any ordinary book—it was clearly something extraordinary. Her mother must have treasured it deeply. The decision to donate it to Ublento Medical University couldn’t have been made lightly. It must have been born out of desperation, a sacrifice made when her mother had no other choice. Getting the Medical Codex back felt like honoring her mother’s memory. It was something she had to do.
Of course, even if Carlos proved to be completely truthful about everything, Elliana had no intention of actually giving him the Medical Codex. Protecting her mother’s precious legacy and keeping it out of the wrong hands was just as important as recovering it in the first place. One way or another, she would uncover Carlos’s true identity. She would see his real face eventually.
Her fingers moved quickly as she typed her reply. “Very well. I’ll look forward to working together p>
But even as she sent those seemingly cooperative words, she was already working behind the scenes. From the moment Carlos had logged on, she’d been running tracking programs, using every hacking skill she’d ever learned to pinpoint his location.
Sure, he was somewhere overseas, far beyond her physical reach. But knowing exactly where he was would open up a treasure trove of information about who he really was.
Carlos likely wouldn’t know she wasn’t just Rosa, the celebrated artist and designer whose work graced galleries and runways around the world. She was also Quinn—one of the most skilled hackers on the international scene. And when Quinn set her sights on tracking someone down, she rarely came up empty-handed.

Unaware that she was tracing his signal, Carlos sent another message. “Let me show you how serious I am about our partnership. I’m going to share some vital information with you. Back when you were the overlooked Elliana that everyone dismissed, the people who’d once hunted your mother were content to simply watch from the shadows. But now that they know you’re the true Campbell heiress, they’ll come after you with the same deadly intent they had for your mother. You need to be extremely careful p>
Elliana’s pulse quickened as she typed back. “Why would they target me now p>
Carlos’s explanation was chilling. “The unremarkable Elliana meant nothing to them—just another insignificant person they could ignore. But a Campbell heiress? You represent a serious threat to their plans. They won’t allow you to stay alive. Trust me, the orders to eliminate you are already being issued as we speak. You better start preparing yourself. This is where our conversation begins p>
Let’s just hope you manage to survive long enough to locate the Medical Codex and complete our deal p>
After sending this message, Carlos abruptly went offline. At the same time, Elliana’s tracking program finally locked onto his location. When she saw the coordinates that appeared on her screen, her eyes went wide with complete shock. Carlos wasn’t hiding overseas at all—he was right here in Ublento!
Perfect. A thrill of excitement surged through her. Her lips curved into a dangerous smile. If he dared to play hide-and-seek right under her nose, she’d show him what a top-notch player really looked like. Without wasting a second, she grabbed her motorcycle keys and strode out.
