A Replacement Bride

Chapter 125

"What do you mean?" Seeing Lisa's gloating expression, Jorge had a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. Subconsciously, he dreaded to know the answer that was about to come out of her mouth.

Unfortunately, it was already too late for him to regret it.

Lisa looked at him with a sneer on her lips. "It's Katherine, that dear daughter of yours. She really is quite something. Not only is she the new boss of the Cornell Group now, but she's even changed the company's name to the Olsen Group. The way I see it, it was on purpose that she agreed to come back and get married. She's come back to take revenge on us!"

Jorge looked very ghastly as he stared hard at Lisa while digesting her words. Katherine is the new boss of the Cornell Group now? The Cornell Group has become the Olsen Group? Whatever the answer was, he had a hard time accepting it. He subconsciously retorted, "W-What nonsense are you talking about? How could Kathy possibly…" However, as soon as he spoke, he realized that he couldn't refute Lisa at all. Katherine might not have the ability to acquire the Cornell Group by herself, but Joaquin did. Joaquin has stood up for Katherine more than once. It should've occurred to me that there's something more to this.

Inwardly, he was overwhelmed with regret, but he didn't regret asking Katherine to return from Fontan and get married to Joaquin. Instead, he regretted having mistreated Katherine. If he hadn't listened to Lisa's persuasion and treated Katherine harshly, would things have turned out differently by now? "It's all your fault, you vicious b*tch! Would Kathy hate us so much if you hadn't mistreated her? And now, not only are you in trouble, but you're dragging the entire Cornell Family down with you! Why would I be so blind as to fall in love with you back then?" The more he thought about it, the more enraged he became. In a fit of rage, he jumped out of the couch and pounced on Lisa to hit her.

Lisa's eyes popped as she stared at Jorge in disbelief. Never did she think he'd be so shameless. At this very moment, the only thing he actually thought of was to shift all the blame onto her! "Jorge Cornell! How could you have the cheek to accuse me? You're the one who coveted the Olsen Family's wealth and power back then, so you purposely set Elsie up and tricked her until you ended up marrying into her family as a live-in son-in-law, no? How foolish of me to have always believed you! If I'd known earlier that you were such a person, I'd never have married you and killed Elsie with you! I've had nightmares about Elsie coming back to take revenge on me every single night over these years!" Caught unprepared by Jorge's attack, she was brought to the ground. However, unwilling to admit defeat, she came to blows with him instead.

The pair subsequently scuffled with each other. By the time the servants at home noticed it, their faces were already black and blue.

gave Katherine a phone call. "Miss Kathy, Lisa came back just now and quarreled with Jorge. They even had a fight, and I heard them talking about what had happened to Miss Elsie back then. Turns out that they really were the ones who killed her!" As he spoke, he couldn't help wiping his tears with his hand. He was an old member of the
