A Replacement Bride

Chapter 61

Rosemary became a bit hesitant. "But if I do this, wouldn't our family's reputation go down the drain—"

"Honey, it's just some fun. What is there to be ashamed about? What, you don't want to be Mrs. Levisay now? You know how exceptional Robert is, don't you? Now that Joaquin is disabled, the family would belong to Robert sooner or later. There's innumerable families better off than us in Hovington and there's even more qualified women than you in this city. Are you so sure that you can capture his heart?"

Katherine patted her on the shoulder while breaking the cruel reality to her.

This made Rosemary's expression change into a sour one.

Indeed, Katherine was right: it would be an intense competition to become Robert's wife. Besides the point that Katherine was Joaquin's fiancé, there was nothing else Rosemary had a leg up over the others.

No matter how much Lisa set her facade up to be some genius or sophisticated woman, Rosemary knew her strength very well. Words were merely words at the end of the day. If she really was compared to others, she knew that she could not win.

Looking at the little pouch, Rosemary remained a little reluctant. "Are you sure this would work?"

"Of course, it would. Even elephants are affected by it." Katherine was very confident.

This was the formula she created herself. Besides doing the deed, there was no other way one could fix the symptoms upon consuming it.

Even though Katherine felt a bit sorry toward Robert, she had been doing her fair share of investigating him. Robert, who might seem like an upright man on the surface, was actually a fairly cruel and disgusting individual underneath. So, she deemed that it was not much of a loss if he were to be implicated in her schemes.

"Ok! I'll believe you! If you dare to lie to me, I will never let you off the hook, Katherine!" Rosemary took a deep breath and decided to risk it all.

She had to become Mrs. Levisay no matter what!

Now that Lisa had been sent to North Peak Nursery Home, she knew that news of this would leak soon enough.

Once that happened and everyone knew that she had an insane mother, who would dare to marry her, fearing that she, too, might go insane in the future?

This really was the perfect opportunity.

With so many guests present, even if Robert tried to deny it when the dust settled, his family would not be able to do so; even by force, she would make him marry her!
