A Replacement Bride

Chapter 54

Soon enough, Katherine had arrived at the hospital. Lisa was still having her internal crisis as her face turned pallid while sitting on the hospital bed. Jorge also stood beside her and wore an unpleasant expression. Clearly, the atmosphere in the ward was tense as though the two had just had a quarrel.

Katherine took a moment to pause at the door before entering the ward with a defeated and resentful expression on her face.

"Dad, Madam Sutton."

"How dare you come, Katherine? Tell your father how you injured me!" Lisa was so emotional when she spotted Katherine that she leaped up and cursed at her.

When Katherine saw Lisa, she recoiled in terror. Her eyes immediately became crimson and she stared at Lisa hopelessly before defending herself in a quiet voice. "What are you talking about, Madam Sutton? I-I don't understand."

"Stop with your acting! You're the one that came home today and threatened to break my hand today, and take my life next time! Do you have the audacity to claim that you never came to my house hours ago?" Lisa looked at Katherine, who was full of pretense, and she felt frustrated.

However, this was precisely the tactic that Lisa used to defame Elsie back then. Now, Katherine was getting her sweet revenge.

"Dad, I honestly have no idea what Madam Sutton is talking about. I did return home today, but it was her who called me up to do so. When I arrived, she scolded me, saying that I'm a cheap lowlife. She reprimands me for not agreeing to put in some good words for Rosemary to marry Robert. As a result, I left the house." Katherine gave Jorge a teary-eyed face and tears could not stop streaming down her face.

At that moment, Jorge immediately believed what she had just said because he recalled Lisa using the same words against Katherine when they were alone.

He was unhappy as he watched Lisa maintain her aggressive demeanor. His displeasure was evident in his chilly expression and somewhat icy voice. "Stop it, Lisa! Stop playing around! As I've already stated, Kathy has nothing to do with this situation."

"Why don't you believe me, Jorge?" Lisa looked at him in disbelief.

Hearing this, Jorge closed his eyes in exhaustion and there was no longer warmth in his eyes when he opened them. "Joaquin and Katherine's wedding will be taking place in a few days. Why are you stirring up trouble now? Do you enjoy enraging everyone?"

Suddenly, Lisa's visage turned pale and she came to a realization as she looked at Jorge, whom she had loved her entire life.
