A Replacement Bride

Chapter 200

"Say that again." Katherine looked at Jorge with no emotion on her face, and her icy voice came out from her slightly parted thin lips.

However, Jorge seemed rather relieved as he looked back at Katherine, his smile becoming more and more unrestrained and disturbed. "Katherine, you are not my biological daughter. I knew from the beginning that your mother was already pregnant with you when she married me. Do you think that the daughter of a rich man would marry a pauper like me if it wasn't because I could accept something like that?"

Katherine didn't speak, and only looked at him calmly while she listened to him continue.

Jorge's eyes had a hint of tenderness as he began to reminisce. "Your mother was young and beautiful, and she came from a good family. Even though the Olsen Family had just arrived in Hovington, they were already one of the wealthiest families in the city. Your grandparents are respectectable figures, so of course I had no reason to reject them. It was your mother who said that you will be able to have a proper name, and she would split half of the Olsen Family's wealth with me if I were to marry her. I took her up on it then. I thought that we would at least respect each other after the marriage even if we can't live together like a married couple. She respected me alright. Not only did she never look me in the eye once, she didn't have any feelings for me at all. But it didn't matter as long as I had the money. I founded the Cornell Group with the money she gave me. I hoped that she could help me, but she hated the sight of me, and she even mocked and belittled me. I hate her! I hate her ruthless indifference, and I hate her even more for using and deceiving me. The one thing that was the most unacceptable for me was that she gave birth to 'my' son after marriage even though she had never let me touch her once. Haha! Isn't that the most humiliating thing a man can go through? I know that you hate me. You think that I have failed you and your mother, and that I killed her, but you are really blaming the wrong person. Your mother was already seriously injured when Lisa found her. I admit that we didn't try to save her, but you can't say that we were the ones who caused her death. She had already offended someone else. I think the most likely person to kill her should be someone from your father's side of the family."

Jorge could hardly keep his eyes open after he finished speaking. As he struggled to stay awake, he looked at the ceiling above his head, and it felt as if he had returned to that sunny afternoon.

That was the first time he saw Elsie. From then on, he believed in love at first sight, and believed that someone really can make a mistake of a lifetime at a glance.

"Shut up! Shut the hell up! Stop talking!" After hearing his words, Beatrice seemed to have lost her mind as she violently stomped on him.

Seeing this made Katherine squint.

It was true that she despised Jorge, but it was a whole other issue to watch him die in front of her.
