A Replacement Bride

Chapter 120

"How dare you!" Hera snapped angrily with a surly expression.

Just as she was about to speak again, she heard a chilly voice thundering, "That's enough! Do you think you haven't embarrassed yourself enough already? Come over now!"

The voice belonged to none other than John, Joaquin's father. The man had stern features. After finishing his sentence, he let his frosty eyes settle upon Katherine.

Katherine met his gaze for a few seconds without humbling herself. Then, she greeted sweetly, "Dad."

John's face darkened. Despite his inner displeasure, he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he merely responded, "Uh-huh," by way of greeting.

On the other hand, Hera eyed Katherine with even greater hostility after being humbled by the latter. Those who were present today were not only the relatives of the Levisay Family but also many prestigious figures out there. Therefore, one could say that Katherine had made her look very bad in front of everyone.

She turned around and left with John, whereas Katherine found a seat on her own. As soon as she sat down, she heard a mellow voice speaking over her head. "Hi, are you my sister-in-law?"

Katherine looked up to see a young man who looked about 24 years old standing before her. Dressed in a tailor-made suit, he had kindly features and oozed gentleness and geniality through every pore. At a glance, he seemed to be a good-tempered person with a nice personality.

She merely took a glance at the man before withdrawing her gaze. After sitting down on the couch on her own, she replied, "If you're John's brother, then I suppose I'm indeed your sister-in-law."

A hint of amazement flickered across Jaycee's eyes when he saw Katherine's exquisite features, but his face gave nothing away. "Is my brother delayed by something?"

He does have something important to deal with, so he can't make it." She didn't elaborate on what Joaquin was busy doing. After all, Area Seven wasn't a simple place; it was a secret department even in Cechirus. It was obvious from

were paying close attention to him. Because of that, people had been watching him since he went to Katherine. At this

"Uh-huh." Katherine nodded nonchalantly.

Now that I think about it, she isn't as simple as she appears to be. I reckon she's not easy to deal with. Having formed his opinion of her in his mind, he exchanged a few words with her out of courtesy. Then, without saying anything else, he took his
