A Replacement Bride

Chapter 75

"If you want to die, feel free to keep moving." If Katherine raised her hand a little, the silver needle in her hand would pierce the person's skin on the neck.

She glared coldly at the woman in front of her, who was wearing a mask and sunglasses.

The woman didn't dare move, for the silver needle was held against her aorta. If it really pierced the skin, she would bleed profusely.

"You're lucky to be alive after all that. However, for people like you, if you keep doing bad things, you'll get retribution sooner or later. Katherine, I await the day you finally receive retribution!" The woman's voice was very cold, and it was filled with extreme hatred.

Katherine found it odd, so she reached out and took off the woman's sunglasses and hat so that she could have a good look at the woman's face.

It was an unfamiliar face, and she hadn't seen it before.

The woman seemed to be in her thirties, and half of her hair had turned white. The skin on her face was also terribly coarse, an obvious indication that she was a person who often slept late. Not only that, the work she did probably took a toll on her appearance.

Seeing the obvious hatred in the woman's gaze, Katherine edged the silver needle in her hand closer. "Who sent you? Or what grudges do you hold against me?"

"Who sent me? Hah, young mistress of the Cornell Family, don't you find it funny to ask such questions?" The woman looked at Katherine mockingly and spat at her.

Katherine frowned. "Speak! Have I ever wronged you?"

When the woman mentioned 'young mistress of the Cornell Family', Katherine could make a vague guess.

She hadn't been here for long, and she never caused any trouble of her own accord. Rosemary was the only one who had become famous recently, but they weren't close.

Also, the only incident worth attention that involved the Cornell Family was the project they had signed with the Levisay Group. Because he wanted to save on costs, Jorge cut corners and chose the worst materials, even overlooking the workers' safety. Katherine heard that a month ago, three workers died at the construction site.

"Are you still faking it? What for, Katherine?! None of you Cornell goons are decent, much less you! The Cornells committed such a crime, but you still defended them! I won't let you off even if I die!" The woman lifted her chin, moving her neck forward.
