A Replacement Bride

Chapter 95

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time," sneered Joaquin with a smirk as he looked at Aberama, who had walked out of the bathroom naked.

As Aberama had just regained consciousness, he was still feeling a little woozy, and the injuries on his body were visibly gory. "Kathy? Were you the one who saved me?"

He took a gander at Katherine and reflexively moved toward her, only for her to snap at him in response while keeping her hand over her forehead and looking away. "Wear some clothes!"

The man finally looked down. Realizing that he was in his birthday suit, he quirked his lips in awkwardness and turned into the guest room.

Katherine naturally wouldn't have any men's clothes here, but there were still dressing gowns in the guest room, so Aberama put one on before returning to the living room.

He glanced at Joaquin, who was looking plainly at him while sitting next to Katherine. However, he didn't greet the man and instead sat across from Katherine. Lo and behold, his throat was so dry that it was like someone had shoved a piping hot iron down his throat.

With that, he cleared his throat and reiterated, "Were you the one who saved me?"

"I'm no Wonder Woman." Katherine rolled her eyes at him.

Aberama took a gander at Joaquin and dropped the question.

"Since you're busy, I'll take my leave." Less than happy, Joaquin got up as he spoke and left without waiting to hear from Katherine.

Aberama, on the other hand, watched the man leave in silence and only relaxed after the door closed. "Thanks, man."

"Do you think you're immortal or the undead? I asked you to stay put in Hovington, but you just have to run around." Katherine looked at Aberama with a half smile, making the man tug at his lips. "That Ramon old hag is dying. I just wanted to see her for the last time, and I also have some questions for her."

"Did you get to see her then?" Katherine knew the pile of sh*tty issues between the Ramons, so she didn't continue reprimanding the man upon seeing his expression.

Aberama shook his head and leaned back. "No, she's pretty much alive and kicking. She had only tricked me into returning so that she could get your contact through me. My family has always wanted to work with you. That old hag, especially, wants the formula for the pills in your hands. Thank goodness they didn't get to you or I…"

"I got it." Katherine turned grim.

Indeed, she had a bunch of goodies in her hands, and there were plenty who wanted to get their hands on them; the Ramons weren't the first. However, since they've stooped to such lowly levels to get to her, then they can't blame her for not playing nice anymore.
