Chapter 21

"Daddy, let's head in. On our way here, I heard Rosemary say that she could not come as she had something going on. We cannot let the Levisays wait for us, right?" Katherine sweetly said as she took Jorge's offered arm. They looked like a lovely father-daughter pair.

Jorge frowned upon hearing that, and he agreed with her as well.

When he saw that Lisa was still throwing a fit while the Levisay servants watched from the doorway, his face twisted with dissatisfaction. He cleared his throat and said to Lisa, "Enough, Lisa. Rose has something to do, so we shall not wait for her. Let us head inside. This is more important."

Naturally, Lisa was not happy to hear that. However, she did not dare to argue back. Thus, she had to suppress her rage. However, as she walked past them, she shot Katherine a menacing glare.

Katherine remained calm though as she happily walked into the Levisay Residence with her arm linked with Jorge's.

She was looking forward to meeting the fiancée she had yet to even see.

There were quite a few people gathered in the living room. When Jorge and the others walked through the door, dozens of faces instantly turned to look at them.

Even though Jorge was someone who had seen and met a lot of people, the sight still made his heart tremble and his stomach roll in anxiety.

Lisa immediately noticed the handsome young men in the room; all of them look like great, capable men. The sight made her hate Katherine even more for being in Rosemary's way.

"My dear in-laws, you're here. Come, sit," greeted Hera.

Hera was as friendly as ever. In fact, when she saw Katherine, she looked as if she had just seen her own daughter walk into the room.

The other people in the room all frowned at Katherine's gaudy outfit. Elizabeth Levisay's face was the most unpleasant as her face was scrunched up so hard that it was evident that she was not happy at all.

"You are so beautiful today, Katherine." Hera could not help but scoff when she saw the blinding shine of sequins on Katherine.

It was obvious that Katherine was not someone who was up to standard. After all, no proper lady would wear something so gaudy and vulgar that it resembled a dancer's outfit.

Still, she would be marrying Joaquin, so that put Hera into a good mood.

"This is Joaquin's father. He was unable to come along last time because of an urgent matter at work," Hera introduced as she led Katherine and her family to their seats. She then sat down beside a stern-faced middle-aged man and held his arm while smiling at Katherine.
