A Replacement Bride

Chapter 127

With a smile tinged with feelings of self-mockery, Lisa stood proudly as her eyes lay squarely on the man who she had loved her entire life and said, "Fine, I'll go; I'll leave. Jorge Cornell, you'd better not regret this in the future!" Then, she left in big strides without taking a second glance.

After Lisa left, Katherine, who had been watching from the sidelines, bore a worried look as she turned her attention to her father. "Dad, why did you kick her out? You're not getting younger anymore. How will you live without her around to take care of you? Don't forget that I'll be getting married to Joaquin soon, so I won't always be around to take care of you…"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. There are still maids around after all, so I won't be suffering much." Looking at how his daughter was being so thoughtful, Jorge suddenly felt warm inside.

"The maids will not be as attentive as someone close to you." Lisa sighed.

"I'm not so old to the extent that I need someone to take care of me yet. By the way, you said that Joaquin gave you the Cornell Group?" Jorge didn't have the patience to play out this father-daughter moment, so he bluntly asked the question he was concerned about.

"Yeah, Joaquin gave me the company, but since his people are still in charge of the management of the company, I'm just going to be taking dividends without having to manage the company affairs." Katherine nodded while wearing a bashful smile, looking as though she was a woman basked in happiness.

"Is that so? But, it's still better to manage your own company. Kathy, if you trust me, then it's best if you let me handle the company for you since it's much more assuring than having outsiders take care of it for you." Jorge rubbed his hands together while looking at his daughter with expectations.

and said, "Dad, doesn't that look bad? It's only been a few days since he gave me the company. Not only that, our wedding

Although she knew him to be a man who would keep his bases covered, she refused to believe that he did not leave behind any evidence of her mother's questionable death all those years ago. She wanted very much to push both Jorge and Lisa into the depths of despair without any possibility of them getting out
