A Replacement Bride

Chapter 173

"Katherine, did you not get a good sleep? How about I let someone book a room for you to rest for a while? There's still a long time before the performance starts." Tiara noticed that Katherine's face looked sallow and was a little worried. Tiara even regretted that she had brought Katherine along with her.

"Mrs. Foster, I'm familiar with this place. If you want to rest, I'll ask someone to book a room for you. Don't worry; it is very private here. No one will disturb you," Ryder heard their conversation and said.

Katherine glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze. "It's fine. I promised to accompany you. So I'll just follow you."

"Then, remember to tell me if you're tired. Otherwise, if I tire you out, my brother will kill me." Tiara smiled and took Katherine's arm, bringing her into the private room.

Inside, there were a lot of people—both men and women. Unfortunately, the lights were dimmed at the moment, and they could hear only the deafening music. This made Katherine frown uncontrollably.

She really hated this kind of environment.

Tiara noticed the expression on Katherine's face and quickly told Ryder to turn off the music and turn up the lights.

Then, the group of men and women all turned to look toward the door.

Their gazes just swept past Tiara. When their eyes landed on Katherine, the faces of many women changed while the men felt a scorching heat in them.

Katherine had beautiful facial features. At this time, her face was pale, looking indifferent and alienated. However, it was precisely this look that thrilled the men, making them wish they could dominate her and let her fall on her knees for them.

"Tia? Is this your friend? She's quite a beauty," one woman said sourly.

Tiara held Katherine's arm and sat her down. Then, Tiara raised her eyebrows and glanced at the woman who had just spoken before answering proudly, "Of course, this is my friend. Could she be yours? What is it, Heather? Are you jealous that I have such a good-looking friend?"
