A Replacement Bride

Chapter 181

Joaquin was even more shocked when he heard what Katherine had said. "Your Grandpa is the founder of the Red Web?" Darren Olsen—I never intentionally investigated him and his background, but I didn't expect him to be someone with such an impressive identity.

Katherine nodded and proceeded to say, "Grandpa was the dean of the Department of Computer Science at Northride University. Besides, in case you don't know, the Olsen Family's business was mainly engaged in the computer-related industry back then. The family business only gradually faced restructuring and engaged in the other industries later after Jorge robbed my Grandparents and my Mom of the entire Olsen Family assets."

Since she was already candid with Joaquin, Katherine figured she did not need to continue hiding this from him. Therefore, she told Joaquin some information about Darren. Either way, Joaquin has the ability to dig Grandpa's information if he wants to. So, I might as well just tell him.

"So that's the backstory. I get it now." Katherine mentioned Darren was a dean of the Department of Computer Science at Northride University. I've heard a lot about this particular department. I know it has always been an outstanding academic department in Cechirus and kept maintaining its position until it gradually declined five years ago. Come to think of it, five years ago was also roughly the time period when something happened to Darren. The academic performance of Northride University's Department of Computer Science gradually began to decline after Darren left the university, and now, the department is nowhere near being known as one of the top ten outstanding academic departments in Cechirus.

Katherine spoke up to gain his attention when she noticed that he was immersed in his thoughts by saying, "These people who want to kidnap Grandma are probably chasing after the things Grandpa left behind."

Joaquin looked at her in surprise when he heard her speculation. How? She seems to know everything.

Katherine rolled her eyes at Joaquin and said snappishly, "Hey, don't look at me like that! At first, I thought Grandma had some sort of a unique identity and was hiding secrets from me. But from the incident of her getting kidnapped this time, I finally understood that these people are chasing after the things Grandpa left behind and not her."

"Did you never think that your Grandma might have an extraordinary identity you aren't aware of?" Joaquin asked tentatively.

"Extraordinary? What extraordinary identity can she have? She's just an ordinary old lady," Katherine replied, unimpressed.

When Joaquin saw that Katherine seemed not to be bothered, he couldn't help but let out a cough before asking again, "Did it never occur to you that perhaps she wasn't just an ordinary old lady, and not all those who came to Cechirus are after the things your Grandpa left behind? Maybe some of them are after your Grandma?"

Katherine remained silent and simply raised her brows at him.

All of a sudden, Joaquin felt somewhat guilty. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
