Chapter 339 A Gift from a Friend
In a café in the capital of Sagrado.
Linus had reserved a private room and now sat inside with H. The two of them were silently facing each other. Linus’s gaze was sharp as he stared intently at the face behind H’s mask.
The atmosphere in the room was tense as if a confrontation would take place at any time.
While Linus’s gaze was fierce, H remained calm and composed.
He even took a leisurely sip of his coffee after it was served. After that, he finally looked at Linus and asked, “Didn’t you have something to ask me?”
Linus’s voice was cold as he looked at the bracelet on H’s wrist. He questioned, “Where did you get that bracelet?”
H gently shook his wrist, fiddled with it, and caused the bracelet to jingle slightly. “A friend to me,” he replied nonchalantly.

“Bullsh*t!”
Linus’s outburst was sudden and fierce, his fists clenching tightly. He confronted, “How exactly did you get that bracelet?”
He couldn’t be mistaken. The bracelet on H’s wrist belonged to Kate!
It was a custom piece she had worn since childhood, made from a very special material. Linus couldn’t possibly be wrong about it.

It was also then that they noticed her bracelet was missing.
They assumed it had been lost abroad, but when he saw the bracelet on H’s wrist, Linus couldn’t control his emotions.
Unlike Linus’s agitation and hostility, H remained calm. He lightly fiddled with the bracelet and said, “Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth.”
The bracelet had indeed been a gift from her.
“Who gave it to you?”
Linus’s breathing grew heavier. He was desperate to uncover the truth about what happened back then. All records of Kate’s time abroad had been erased, leaving them with no answers.
Later, Kate’s reaction was ordinary, and she didn’t encounter any danger, which eased their worries. Despite this, the mystery still lingered in their hearts.
They had failed to protect her back then.
