A Replacement Bride

Chapter 114

"I've never heard of the Levisay Family!" Tessa was annoyed at the co-called wealthy families from small towns. She was getting impatient with Jorge and went straight to the point as she told him, "I would like to meet Katherine for an important matter. Please get her here immediately to see me."

"I…" He frowned as Tessa's tone and behavior made him feel uncomfortable.

"I heard that the Cornell Group has recently got into some trouble? If you can get this done for me, I will revive your company and assure you that no one else would come looking for trouble in the future," she interrupted him.

As soon as Jorge heard that, his eyes lit up as he stood up surprisedly and stared at Tessa. "Do you really mean it? Will you really help me?"

"There is no reason for me to lie to you. Go get Katherine here right away." Tessa snorted with disdain as she was disgusted by the looks on this face.

When Jorge thought of how he would be able to regain control of Cornell Group with a strong backing from the Leigh Family, he was so delighted that he immediately agreed to her request and went out to give Katherine a call. When Katherine received his call, she and Joaquin were on their way to the Levisay Residence for dinner.

She was surprised to receive a call from Jorge, but she soon figured out why he called before answering the call, "Dad, what's the matter?"

"Kathy, please take a trip home if you're free now. I have something important to tell you." Jorge glanced over at Tessa as she spoke to Katherine lovingly.

"What is it? Joaquin's grandma asked us to have dinner at their place tonight," she replied while leaning on the seat and as she tried to find a comfortable position.

"I have something extremely important to tell you and I have to tell you about it in person, so you should just come home." He did not mention that it was Tessa looking for her as he knew how her daughter's temperament was.
