A Replacement Bride
Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Katherine might look harmless and innocent, but she was like a rose with thorns. Anyone who let their guard down around her would find themselves pricked bloody.
"Hmph! Don't be so full of yourself just yet, Katherine!" Rosemary snapped, gnashing her teeth.
The incident at the bar had already made them each other's nemesis, and at this point, she did not bother putting up a sisterly act anymore. She stormed out of the room after grabbing her pillow.
When Rosemary left, Katherine looked around the room as an icy gleam flashed in her eyes.
This was her bedroom five years ago.
Elsie had been the one to draw up the plans and room design, but unfortunately, any trace of her mother's creativity had been erased since Rosemary moved in. It was hard for Katherine to picture what it used to look like now.
The idea of sleeping in the bed Rosemary had slept in disgusted her.
Having thrown the girl out of the room, Katherine summoned the maids and told them to throw out everything that belonged to Rosemary. The bedsheets were changed shortly after, and had it not been so late at night, Katherine would have brought in a new bed as well.
Upon seeing all her things getting thrown out, Rosemary tugged on Lisa's arm tearfully and whined, "Mom, do you see what she's done?!"
"There, there. We'll only have to tolerate her arrogance for the time being. Once she becomes one of the Levisays, everything in this house will belong to you. If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure the Levisays would give her a hard time. They would pick her apart for her poor character."
Lisa was furious as well, but she found comfort in the thought that whatever havoc Katherine wreaked now was only temporary. She would end up with the Levisays' useless scion, which meant she could never outshine Rosemary in terms of social standing.
"I won't let her get away with this!" There was a vicious look in Rosemary's eyes as she said this.
She grew furious at the thought of the humiliation she had been subjected to at the bar, and she wanted nothing more than to tear Katherine into shreds.
However, she needed to be patient. She would strike only after Katherine became in-laws with the Levisays. Let's see how she fares once she marries a cripple. No one will come to her defense then!
Katherine slept fitfully that night. She tossed and turned in bed as she tried to snap out of a long nightmare. When she woke up again, it was only 4.00AM.
Her head felt like it was cracking down the middle as all sense of sleep drained out of her.
She crawled out of bed and opened the windows. It was still dark as she gazed out at the garden, and she could hear the low humming of insects.
