A Replacement Bride

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

"N-Nothing," Bella eventually forced herself to answer. After she said that, it felt like she was sitting on a bed of nails instead of a chair.

She shuffled uneasily, too embarrassed to continue dining with them.

Soon, she came up with the excuse that she was not feeling well and fled back to her room.

Hera could not help but be amused by the look on Bella's face.

Bella was Elizabeth's grandniece. A few years ago, her parents passed away, leaving her all alone. Her tragic fate and young age made Elizabeth take her in out of pity. All these years, she had been raised as a daughter of the Levisays.

She was frailer than a piece of paper, yet her ego was greater than the world. She insisted on marrying Joaquin. Unfortunately, he barely even bothered glancing at her throughout her years of staying with them.

Katherine had humiliated Bella; based on Bella's personality, she would definitely bad-mouth Katherine to Elizabeth. Joaquin was currently a useless, disabled man, and Katherine could not give him a boost in any way as she was not beloved by the Cornells. That meant her son would be the only potential head of the family.

"It is getting late, Kathy. Why don't you stay the night instead?" Hera asked as she dabbed the corners of her mouth with her napkin.

Katherine, who had been in the middle of putting more food on Joaquin's plate, froze.

If people found out that she stayed the night on her very first visit to her fiancée's home, her reputation would be ruined while the Cornells would be turned into a laughing stock.

However, that was what she wanted, right?

Hence, she immediately nodded. "Sure."

Jorge had wanted to reject the suggestion, but Katherine answered before he could even react. When he heard her answer though, he could not help but scowl.
