A Replacement Bride

Chapter 118

Declan got Katherine immediately upon hearing her words. Joaquin wasn't on good terms with the Levisay Family and seemed to even have some sort of feud. With that, she went along with Katherine without demur. "Thank you, but I'm actually not as impressive as others claim me to be. I've inherited my family's business. If we're here talking about impressiveness, then I am no match for Mr. Levisay. I heard his net worth was already over billions at the tender age of 16. Now that's what I call impressive."

Elizabeth was so livid that she looked beyond awful, wanting to chuck Katherine out at once. Does this b*tch even know how to speak?!

However, as livid as she was, she didn't lash out. Then again, her smile had stiffened a lot. "Mr. Leventhrope is still more impressive. How can Joaquin's achievements compare to his?"

"Grandma, are you saying it's not at all impressive for Joaquin to have already earned over billions at the age of 16? Then, wouldn't that make Mr. Leventhrope even more useless when he gained his achievements solely through family inheritance?" asked Katherine with a naive front while blinking.

Despite her absolutely harmless look, it was a solid slap in Elizabeth's face.

Livid with rage, Elizabeth glared daggers at the young woman and chucked her lady-like upbringing out the window, screeching. "Katherine Cornell! No one will think you're mute even if you say nothing! Leave this house at once! Your marriage to Joaquin is officially off!"

"Grandma, my marriage to Kathy was my mother's dying wish." Joaquin, who had said nothing the whole time, suddenly spoke up assertively, making his stance.

Joaquin was a dutiful son through and through. If it weren't for his mother's request, he wouldn't have said yes to marrying Katherine in the first place.

"Y-You! You two! Good! Very good!" Elizabeth was so upset at this point that she was having difficulty breathing. Seeing so, Hera hurriedly soothed Elizabeth by stroking her back, reprimanding Joaquin and Katherine in the meantime.

"Is this how you're supposed to talk to your grandmother?! Apologize to her at once! Do you want anything bad to happen to your grandmother?!" After reprimanding Joaquin and Katherine, she turned to Elizabeth. "Mom, take a deep breath. No need to argue with children. They're still young and don't know any better. So they'll spout nonsense. Don't get too upset."

"But Mom, Joaquin and I didn't say anything wrong." Katherine made a moue aggrievedly, and her eyes turned red-rimmed in a snap as she looked at Hera.

Hera, on the other hand, was rendered beyond exasperated. Just what the heck is up with this woman?! Do you still want to argue when I've already given you two a way out?!

It's precisely that he doesn't have a mother that you guys choose to pick on him, no? Well, he might not have a mother anymore, but he has a wife. We'll leave this instant.
