A Replacement Bride

Chapter 13

However, whether Hera was his biological mother or his stepmother was none of her business.

Getting married or not would not affect her future plans.

Joaquin was just a cripple anyway. It was best for him to not interfere with her plans, or else…

Katherine narrowed her eyes and licked the corner of her lips inadvertently.

…

While Hera and Jorge were discussing the wedding with great interest, Katherine yawned.

"Let's go with that decision, then. On the eighth day of next month, we'll pick her up from here. We should still run the procedures to ensure Kathy gets the wedding she deserves."

Seeing how Katherine was seated indecently, Hera grew even more satisfied. After discussing the specific matters with Jorge, she ordered someone to bring in the prepared gifts before leaving Cornell Residence.

"The Levisays are so generous! This is an antique, right?" Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

The gifts that the Levisays prepared for Katherine today were extremely valuable. There were two boxes of antique paintings and a dozen sets of gold and silver jewelry. It was obvious that they attached great importance to this marriage.

Sitting on the couch watching Lisa's greedy appearance, Katherine reminded her, "Be careful, Mrs. Cornell. These things aren't cheap. If they are damaged, you have to compensate me."

"What do you mean by compensating you?" Lisa glared at Katherine fiercely.

"These are the betrothal gifts the Levisays gave me. I will be the one taking them away when I get married. Otherwise, what would the Levisays think? The Cornells are so poor that they took all the betrothal gifts from the Levisays?" Katherine smiled and mocked her.

Lisa was unreconciled!

These things are worth thousands of dollars! Why should they all belong to Katherine, that little b*tch?

"Enough! Why are you fighting over that with her? Carry these things upstairs to the room, and when you get married on the eighth day of next month, I'll deliver all of them to you," Jorge uttered while glaring at Lisa.

Women were short-sighted. They could only see immediate benefits, failing to see how much benefit the Levisays could offer them after the two parties were joined in marriage.

Although Lisa was not reconciled, she still ordered the maids at home to carry the gifts to the room upstairs.

Katherine pursed her lips, and a hint of coldness flashed by.

"Katherine."

Just when Katherine felt bored and decided to leave, a gust of fragrant scent attacked her in the face, followed by a soft and delicate voice ringing in her ear, "Katherine, how have you been in Fontan all these years? I heard that it's very chaotic there. Sexual crimes often happen, and a pretty woman like you…"

Filled with jealousy, Rosemary looked at Katherine's face and felt that it was unfair.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Cornells, but how could Katherine be born with such a beautiful face?

She resented Katherine's face and was desperate to tear her sister apart.

Katherine glanced lazily at Rosemary with a faint smile on her lips. "If you're so curious, you can just ask Dad to send you there for a few years!"

Rosemary choked at her response, looking a little awkward.

"You must be kidding me. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and since you don't come back often, I threw you a welcome party. Come with me since you have nothing else to do. Many people are eager to know you."

The embarrassment on Rosemary's face only lasted for a second before she smiled brightly again and linked her arms with Katherine's.

Katherine raised her eyebrows and glanced at her arm before withdrawing them slowly. "I don't really know you or your friends."
