A Replacement Bride

Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Katherine was taken aback for a moment. "What nonsense are you talking about?" she asked, rolling her eyes at him.

However, Joaquin remained solemnly looking at her. Just when he was about to speak again, his phone rang and interrupted the conversation.

He furrowed his brows as he looked at who the caller was. Seeing that it was Jeremy who called, he gloomily answered, "Anything?"

"Mr. Levisay, a large number of outsiders entered Hovington today. They were all in the upper echelons of the Hunters' List. More than a hundred Hunters have entered Hovington for the past month and the top of them was Lagros, who is at twenty-first place. Mr. Levisay, what do you think draws them to Hovington? This time, there were so many of them that the FBI was alerted. They are currently sending someone to Cechirus," Jeremy grumbled while explaining the situation to Joaquin.

Hearing that, Joaquin looked thoughtfully at Katherine and did not say anything.

After receiving no response from Joaquin, Jeremy couldn't help but mutter, "What should we do? The new Colonel Carter is unconcerned about this and has even told us to stop watching them and let them roam freely in Hovington."

"Okay. I got it." Joaquin ended the call right away.

Then, he looked solemnly at Katherine and said, "A group of Hunters came to Hovington recently. I believe they came for your grandma."

"What?" Katherine frowned and looked at him.

"Your grandma's identity is highly confidential; it is classified as the highest-level of confidential information in Cechirus. I can't tell you who she is, but what I can say for sure is that she carries a vital set of information with her that is highly sought after by many people both inside and outside the country. As long as she carries it, even those in the top ten on the Hunters' List will kill her for it. She is in a dangerous situation." Joaquin assumed Katherine didn't realize how serious the situation was and explained it to her seriously.

"So? What are you trying to say?" She wasn't shocked by his words.

"I need to stay at your house to protect her all day, in case something happens," Joaquin replied righteously.

Katherine pursed her lips when she heard that. The man could really make up such a high-sounding excuse just to stay at her place.
