A Replacement Bride

Chapter 14

"Katherine!" Rosemary whined and reached out to grab Katherine's hand. "We're sisters after all. Why do you have to say something that'll break my heart? We're both dad's daughters, and doesn't the saying go, blood is thicker than water? I've been worried about you all these years, but I'm too young to visit you in such a chaotic country like Fontan. Are you blaming me now?"

Katherine did not answer her but merely stared at Rosemary. Her eyes were cold, but her heart was aching.

So many years had passed, yet Rosemary was still the same. She was obviously as wicked as a witch, but she pretended to be harmless and innocent in front of others.

In the past, Elsie was deceived by her and eventually died without leaving a trace.

It was also because of her that she was thrown to a place like Fontan and struggled to survive.

Rosemary felt guilty being stared at by Katherine. Somehow, she had the feeling that her step-sister had completely changed after this trip. It made her feel inexplicably afraid.

"Katherine…"

Rosemary was about to speak, but Katherine interrupted her before she finished. "Let's go."

Katherine suddenly changed her mind, stood up, and shoved her hands into her pocket. She looked gorgeous and sassy. Overall, her tall figure matched her cold face flawlessly. "Didn't you say you threw me a welcome party? Where is it?"

Rosemary grew even more envious of her.

However, since Katherine agreed to her invitation, she was excited. "Are you going to wear this to the party? Why don't you change your clothes? You should be able to fit mine."

Rosemary stepped forward and grabbed Katherine's arm. People who did not know them would have probably mistaken them for having a close relationship.

Katherine glanced at Rosemary and refused indifferently, "No, I'm fine."

A look of contempt flashed in Rosemary's eyes, and she secretly cursed Katherine for being ungrateful.

"Sure. Anyway, you're born to be pretty, so you look good in anything, unlike me." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Well, you are quite ugly," Katherine agreed to Rosemary's statement and answered rudely.

Rosemary thought she was going to puke. How could she be so annoying?

However, she suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and took Katherine out.

"Mom, Dad, I'm leaving with Katherine." Before leaving, Rosemary did not forget to inform Jorge and Lisa.

"Sure. Just be home early and don't party too late," Jorge replied, finding Rosemary to be such a well- behaved and sensible daughter.

She was a stark contrast to Katherine, who ignored them like she was not taught properly.

Rosemary prepared the welcome party at a bar for Katherine. As soon as they entered the door, they could sense the smokiness in the space. The air was mixed with the strong smell of alcohol, perfume, tobacco, and some unusual scents.

Katherine, an Oriental doctor, was sensitive to smell. The moment she entered the bar, she could tell that there were drug addicts there.

Rosemary seemed to have prepared a big gift for herself.

She lowered her head slightly with a hint of disdain on her bright and attractive face. Under the dim lights, everyone could only see her slightly curved lips, which were beautiful in shape. Her smile looked exceptionally sweet.

After that, Rosemary took Katherine into a private room.

This time, Katherine had changed her expression. Under the flickering lights in the room, her eyes were bright, flashing, clean, and innocent.

Everyone sighed, What a pity! How could such a lovely person come from Fontan? She must have been sexually mistreated many times!

Ben looked at the two women who entered the door, and his eyes instantly lit up. He then turned back to look at the man behind him excitedly. "Joaquin, here comes the daughter of the Cornells, Rosemary Cornell. The one beside her should be your fiancée, right? She's gorgeous!"

Ben was shocked by Katherine's delicate face.

There are many famous rich daughters in Hovington, and he was confident that he had seen many beauties, but it was the first time he saw someone as charming as Katherine.

How could a woman who looked like that be a good-for-nothing gold-digger, and had a complicated private life?
