A Replacement Bride

Chapter 22

"Yes, I am interested in you." Katherine stopped staring in surprise and studied Joaquin once more.

Except for the strangely familiar aura, the man she was looking at seemed just like a stranger she had never met before.

She was starting to think she was a little too sensitive after returning home; everyone seemed familiar to her.

"Oh?" Joaquin raised an eyebrow at her honesty. The interest gleaming in his eyes grew stronger. "True, you would definitely be interested in being the wife of the Levisay heir. Unfortunately, you miscalculated. Marrying me might not give you what you want."

"Not really." Her beautiful lips curved in a smile as she looked at him.

She had thought of the Levisays as a huge annoyance and had planned to cancel her engagement. Now, however, the idea of marrying him would be a good disguise.

She could not tell anyone about her identity because she knew the formulations of many experimental drugs. The moment anyone with evil intentions found out about her, the only fate waiting for her was an endless stream of assassinations.

Everyone around her would be in danger then.

Being Mrs. Levisay did not seem like a bad idea. No one would think the boring wife of a disabled man to be the infamous Dr. C.

"No matter what, you are the undisputable heir of the family. I would not lose anything by marrying you. At the very least, it is a better fate than being ignored and powerless with the Cornells. What do you think?" She had a greedy look and spoke confidently.

If Joaquin had never met Katherine before and witnessed just how powerful and sharp-tongued she was, he would have been fooled by her lie.

He did not think she would be both witty and a good actress.

His smile deepened. He leaned back in his wheelchair and languidly studied her as he said, "You have a point."
