Chapter 129

"Yes. The guests are here to meet you. It's Mrs. Leigh and her daughter. The ones who came by our home the last time. They said that they have something urgent to discuss with you. They look quite desperate." Under Tessa and London's watchful eyes, Jorge hurriedly put in a few good words as he thought of the benefits that they had promised him.

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person. How can I help them?" Katherine feigned astonishment.

"That's…" Jorge was lost for words.

"Mr. Cornell, this daughter of yours is truly an unfilial one. You're personally making a call to ask her to come back, yet she's still trying to play coy. Looks like your position in this family isn't all that." London grew slightly displeased as there wasn't even a shadow of Katherine around even after her father had been nagging for her to come home.

"Dad, with how they're acting, I doubt they're coming to meet me for a good reason. Anyway, if there's nothing else, then I have to go. Joaquin's calling me." As Katherine heard how arrogant London was through the phone, she immediately ended the call.

With his mouth slightly gaped, Jorge was about to say something but couldn't bring his voice out in the end.

"Mr. Cornell, what did she say?" Tessa inquired eagerly.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Leigh. Because my daughter's fiancé has gotten into an accident, so…"

"Excuses. She just doesn't want to come back. Mom, we have no need to beg for her help. With how big the country is, surely we can find someone who can cure your condition. That Katherine girl only looks impressive, but I doubt that she has the ability to cure you," London said in utter irritation.

However, Tessa glared at her child in displeasure and said, "She's someone who can even cure your father's illness."
