A Replacement Bride

Chapter 175

The person who was blocking the doorway to prevent Katherine and Tiara from escaping naturally heard the commotion outside the door and quickly moved away.

Then, everyone saw the two men at the door.

The older one looked like he was in his early 60s, but he was full of energy, showing no sign of his old age. His skin was dark, probably due to being under the sun year-round. At this time, his face was gloomy as he stood at the door. This was enough to make everyone in the room feel suffocated.

Beside the old man was a young man in his early twenties, with dark eyebrows and a stunning face. His hands were in his pockets as he stood there lazily, unceremonious and lackadaisical.

However, his temperament was on par with the old man standing next to him. As a matter of fact, he seemed to be domineering over Charles.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, save me! I don't know what this b*tch did to me. I'm in so much pain!" Ryder suddenly wailed when he saw Charles at the door.

This made Katherine turn over to look at him coldly. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife, and it immediately shut Ryder up in shock.

But at the same time, he felt aggrieved. When had he suffered such humiliation?

Ryder did not dare to offend her even if Joaquin wasn't here. This woman was simply a lunatic.

"What happened here?" Now that Charles had shown up here, it seemed to him that things weren't as simple as what Ryder had told him.

Joaquin scanned the room coldly, and his gaze finally landed on the two young women sitting at the side, making him squint slightly.

He recognized Tiara. Katherine was probably here because of Tiara.

When Tiara saw him, grievance took over as she got up and ran toward him, almost throwing herself into his arm.

However, he stretched out his hand to block her head with a cold face so she couldn't come any closer.
