A Replacement Bride

Chapter 185

"Well…" Caught in a dilemma, Katherine couldn't find the words to say.

Hera knew there must be an agenda, and when she recalled Joaquin's comments earlier, she smiled and said, "You don't have to worry if the problem is money. Old Madam is a senior elder in our family. As long as you can cure her, we're willing to fork out any amount of money."

Still, Katherine remained quiet and turned to Joaquin. She wasn't lacking in money; whether it was five million or fifty million, it was merely a number to her.

Joaquin knew what she was thinking, so he gave it a thought and said, "Forget the money, but the holiday resort at Mount Rivera looks pretty good. Use that as the treatment fee for Old Madam, then."

He knew too well what was most profitable to the Levisay Group; the holiday resort at Mount Rivera was their biggest cash cow, and he reckoned that the Levisays wouldn't hand it out so easily.

"You're dreaming!" But, this time, Elizabeth didn't say anything. Instead, Henry, who was watching the show from the sidelines the whole time, spoke up.

He glowered at Joaquin with a glum expression. "Since you don't consider yourself part of the Levisay Family, why are you coveting our business? What now, Joaquin Levisay? You just can't stand to watch us do well?"

"Listen to yourself, Mr. Levisay. You're the ones who said that you could agree to any condition as long as Old Madam can be cured. Now, we're merely stating our terms, but you have so many opinions about it. Since you're not sincere in having her treated, why did you ask in the first place? Why? Did you really think that we're going to do as you please just because I'm from the Levisay Family and Kathy is my wife? Back then, my mother had a gentle personality and was easily persuaded, but that doesn't mean I took after her." Joaquin stared at Henry aloofly, completely disregarding their father-and-son relationship.

A furious Henry didn't expect that his unfilial son would dare to dishonor him before so many guests.

He crossed his arms and said firmly, "If you want the holiday resort, that's impossible. Fifty million. Cure her if you're willing. Otherwise, forget it."

"Fifty million? Do I look like I lack fifty million to you?" Joaquin sneered indifferently as he glared at Henry icily.

To Henry, his eyes were filled with provocation and contempt, and he trembled from the fury of being disrespected by his son. He glared at Joaquin and wished he could slap him hard across the face.
