A Replacement Bride

Chapter 148

"You sure are shameless, Jorge Cornell! I am amazed that you allow your wife and child to steal the dowry of your ex-wife's daughter. Is this the upbringing of the Cornells?!" Katherine had just finished her words when another angry voice rang out.

Jorge could only feel how annoyed he was at this moment. After hearing the second voice, he subconsciously looked over, only for his face to fall when he saw Jennifer.

The saying that people attracted what they feared seemed all too true right then.

As the scene unfolded, Jennifer's initial plan was to watch from the sidelines without interfering.

However, she changed her mind when she saw him overstep the line by doing something so unethical that no one with a conscience would ever do. She could no longer stand seeing her granddaughter miserable, so she decided to step in.

Back then, when Elsie passed on suddenly, Darren followed suit soon after due to a cerebral hemorrhage, with Jennifer being bedridden in the hospital for a long time. Jennifer had always been guilt-ridden when it came to Katherine, as she had to take on too many things by herself during Jennifer's stay in the hospital. So, naturally, Jennifer would not allow Jorge to bully Katherine on her wedding day.

Hera frowned and glanced at Jessica before impatiently interrupting everyone. "And who is this? On second thought, never mind. I don't care whatever is going on here. Joaquin, take Kathy away. Everything at the hotel is ready. We can't have any delays just because of your business here. There will be a lot of distinguished guests attending today. The Levisays can't afford to lose face now."

"The Levisays? Who told you that today's wedding has anything to do with the Levisays?" Joaquin's lips curled into a cold smile as his eyes fell on Hera.

Her face immediately darkened upon hearing that. Then, she glared at him as she said with a shrill voice, "W-What did you say?!"

"I am a member of the Foster Family, so of course, the wedding today is held by the Fosters. It has nothing to do with the Levisays?" he answered firmly.

She was so angry that her face contorted when she heard his words. "You! Joaquin Levisay! You are one of the Levisays as long as your family name stays the same. How could you utter such unfilial words? I want you to take Kathy to the hotel we booked for you right now. Your father and grandma are already waiting there." She pointed at him angrily and ordered.
