A Replacement Bride

Chapter 145

"Why can't we go up there?"

As Katherine witnessed Jorge's flustered look, she had a rough idea in her mind.

The Levisay Family had given the Cornells a hefty amount of bethortal gifts, and Katherine deliberately left them untouched and kept the gift list. The goal behind this lay in what was about to unfold at Cornell Residence today.

"I-I-It's messy upstairs and disorganized, you…" Jorge opened his mouth without knowing how to explain.

Katherine looked at him with a gentle smile. "It's alright. I'm getting married tomorrow. I'm free today, so I'm going to clean up the house. In the future, you'll live alone without someone to care for you and I won't feel at ease."

"I…" Jorge could not think of any other excuses.

Lisa and Rosemary have taken the gifts from the Levisay Family, and some of them were sold by me. Now, I believe there are not even a third of them left. If Katherine goes up and pursues the matter, how will I explain?

"Kathy, your grandmother is an outsider after all, but you brought her here—"

"Outsider? Jorge Cornell, use your brain and think carefully. Am I an outsider? The house you live in was under my daughter's name. Now that she's passed away, Kathy should be the one that inherits this house. I am Kathy's grandmother, so how am I an outsider?" Jennifer was not a pushover. After seeing Jorge's hesitation and excuses, she knew there was a problem upstairs.

The more he refused to let her up, the more she wanted to do so.

"Get out of the way. Kathy let you live in the house because she's kind. You killed her mother and hijacked the Olsen Family. You beast doesn't even deserve to live in this world! If I were you, I'd be dead. How dare you be shameless enough to make a fool of yourself here! You enjoy everything your daughter brings you and you make irresponsible remarks!" Jennifer viciously cursed while shoving Jorge aside.

Still, he did not dare to make a move for fear of hurting the old lady. Hence, he could only helplessly watch them heading upstairs.
