A Replacement Bride

Chapter 36

After exiting the cafe, Katherine wore a baseball cap before getting on a cab to head to the Waldorf Garden in Northside.

It happened to be the 5.00PM rush hour when people were going in and out of the neighborhood. She stood on the street and waited patiently while looking at her wristwatch once in a while.

Right at 6.05PM, a frail old man wobbled out of the garden holding his grandson.

Katherine walked over after gazing at the little boy for a while.

"Hi, Mr. Torres. Care for a talk?" she asked directly and dropped the pretense.

Looking at the young lady before him, Richard waved his hands impatiently. "I'm busy. There's nothing much to talk about. Go back to where you came from."

"You haven't produced the formula for Celestial Beauty. Are you going to give up just like this, Mr. Torres?"

She looked at him head-on with no surprise because she knew that he would reject her. However, she had foreseen this and came up with a plan to countermeasure his reaction.

As expected, his facial expression changed upon hearing her words. His eyes widened as he looked at the young lady before him who had crossed the line. Then, he slowly drawled out, "You. Who is Darren Olsen to you?"

"He's my grandpa." Katherine knew she was successful after looking at his wavering expression.
