A Replacement Bride

Chapter 119

Meanwhile, at the hospital VIP ward, Hera was fuming when she recalled Joaquin and Katherine's attitude earlier on. "Joaquin is getting outrageous, and Katherine is getting haughty just because she's being spoiled by him! Mom, about this matter…"

After losing his status as the heir of the Levisay Family, Robert had gone insane and had been babbling nonsense ever since. Because of that, the Levisay Family could no longer count on him, but even so, Hera refused to let Joaquin be the heir of the Levisay Family, as his mother's death wasn't as simple as it seemed. If he went on to investigate it, Hera could lose her life since she was the one behind it. Elizabeth had a haunted look on her face after hearing what Hera said.

"Mrs. Levisay, based on Old Madam's current condition, she can't be further provoked, so you all better not provoke her anymore." After performing a thorough checkup on Elizabeth, the doctor advised sternly, especially when he noticed how pale her expression was.

Hearing that, Hera was seen with a grave expression, and she rejected Elizabeth's decision without hesitation. "No!"

"You should blame yourself for your child's poor upbringing, which brought about this scandal. Why? Do you still want Robert to take over the Levisay Family? After all, that child is of the Levisay Family lineage, so it doesn't matter if I bring him back. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. I've made a decision, and that's that."
