A Replacement Bride

Chapter 150

Upset, Beatrice threw Katherine a resentful look. "Katherine Cornell, do you really have to humiliate me like this?! Why can't I have Joe's child?"

"You ask me why? Do you really need me to tell you? I thought the answer was pretty obvious." The corners of Katherine's lips curled into a half-smile as she looked back at Beatrice.

Her gaze instantly sent a pang of guilt in Beatrice's way—it was as though Katherine had seen through her.

However, now was not the time for her to feel guilty. She would end up with nothing if she did not seize this last chance.

Theodore had completely given up on her.

At this point, her entire future was in ruins. She really would be all on her own if even Joaquin left her.

"I don't care what you're trying to say! I do have his child! If you don't believe it, go ahead and ask him if he had an affair with me five years ago!" Beatrice even deliberately looked at Joaquin after she finished speaking.

She knew him best. He was the kind of person who valued responsibility more than anything else. Otherwise, he would not have told her he would take responsible action for her because of the affair from five years ago.

She thought she had grasped his weakness, but unbeknownst to her, her behavior was only getting even more off-putting for him.

"If I am not mistaken, you had an abortion when you were 14 years old, presumably at an illegal clinic. The excessive bleeding after the operation made it necessary to undergo the removal of half of your uterus, which led you to be infertile for life since then. Now I am curious about how Joaquin impregnated you under such circumstances. Tell me. Which doctor had bestowed a miracle upon you and healed you from a condition like that? I can probably learn a thing or two from them." Seeing how stubborn Beatrice was, Katherine no longer wanted to be courteous with her as she proceeded to tell the truth without hesitation.

Beatrice's face turned deadly pale upon hearing her words. With a startled expression, she gawked at Katherine and subconsciously screeched, "Y-You are making things up!"

"Am I making things up? You should know the answer to that better than anyone else." Katherine smiled playfully.
