A Replacement Bride

Chapter 59

"Dad, did you send Mom to North Peak Nursery Home? How could you send her to such a place?" Rosemary quickly came in and handed the bag to the servant beside before running over hurriedly, tugging on Jorge's sleeve.

She still dreamed of marrying into the Levisays and becoming the madam of their family. If word got out that she had an insane mother, how would she be able to marry?

From the start, Lisa's identity as the mistress-turned-wife had already left a bad impression on the public and this incident now was not helping their image.

Rosemary glared at Katherine, knowing that she must have been involved in this.

With an innocent expression, Katherine did not bother to explain anything either.

"Your mother's sick. I just sent her over there so she could recuperate." Jorge's expression darkened and he was unhappy over Rosemary's rude questioning.

In the past, she was sensible and knew how to please people, which made him very satisfied to have a daughter like her. Now…

Jorge took a look at her before shifting his gaze at Katherine with disappointment surging in his heart.

They really are too far apart. Sometimes, genetics really is everything.

No matter what, Elsie was the daughter of the prominent Olsen Family. With such a powerful backing and the wits to match it, she was much better than Lisa. Besides that, her daughter was no slouch either; if one were to only consider looks, no one could match up to Katherine in Hovington.

"But, North Peak Nursery Home is an asylum! Can Mom even come out after being admitted there? I beg you, Dad. Please send her home, will you?" Rosemary wanted to persuade her father by grabbing onto his arm and pleading.

However, Jorge merely shook her off. "We'll talk about this when the banquet is over and when your mother's condition gets better. The event is tomorrow night, so prepare yourself. Stop worrying about this."

With a shove, Rosemary fell onto the floor and she looked at her father in disbelief.

He had always doted on her and never got angry at her. Yet, after Katherine's return, he had been scolding her time and again.

This made a strange but fearsome feeling growing within Rosemary.
