A Replacement Bride

Chapter 78

As soon as Katherine left the Country House Restaurant, she received a call from Jorge. She lowered her head to look at the bunch of numbers which were glitching on her phone screen and picked it up after a long time.

"Kathy, Kathy. You have to help me this time. Please." Jorge's panicked voice came from the other side of the phone.

Someone had exposed the Cornell Group for tax evasion.

Throughout his years of doing business, Jorge had done many things under the table and had stepped on many lines he shouldn't have. He was lucky that no one investigated him for these things in the past. However, now that someone was investigating him, it would be the end of the Cornell Group if he didn't handle it properly.

"Don't panic, Dad. Tell me about it slowly. What happened?" With a deep gaze, she comforted Jorge while walking out.

"Y-You should come back home now. By the way, remember to bring Joaquin home too. Only he can help us. Remember, you must bring him!" he replied to her incoherently before hanging up the phone in a hurry.

Hearing that, she didn't know if this thing had anything to do with Joaquin. When she arrived at the junction, there was already a car waiting for her. As such, she lowered her head to open the car door and entered the car.

"Go to the Cornell Residence." While leaning against the seat, she still decided to send Joaquin a text after some thought.

After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the Cornell Residence. There was a lot of rubbish hanging on the gate of the entrance, and there were a bunch of rotten leaves and rotten eggs on the floor. It looked like someone had come over and made a fuss.

After waiting for a moment at the entrance, only then did the gate open. As soon as she entered the residence area, Ethan Butler told her about the situation just now with a near-crying face. He said, "A bunch of people came in the morning and said that they were the family of the worker who experienced the accident on the construction site…"

Katherine nodded after hearing that. As soon as she entered the house, Jorge went over to her hastily. When he saw her, he looked behind her subconsciously, but sadly, Joaquin wasn't there.

His expression changed immediately and he asked Katherine with a darkened face, "Why did you come back alone? Where is Joaquin? Why didn't he come back with you? Didn't I tell you to keep a good relationship with him and that you must always please him? Now that our family is in trouble, why are you…"

on the construction site had an accident and you didn't give any compensation, but you beat his family when they came to ask you for money. Is that right?"

Jorge's expression was disgruntled. When he heard her saying that, he explained anxiously, "Those people are insatiable! I've already paid them the work injury compensation, but they're still asking for more money! Don't believe the nonsense that you hear outside! Also, if Joaquin asks you about this, you need to say that we've already paid the compensation, and they
