A Replacement Bride

Chapter 207

"You—" The man suddenly choked just as he spoke up, seemingly as though someone was indeed pressing down on his windpipe. His eyes widened in fear and stared Jennifer right in the eyes, only for his vision to become blurry.

Throughout the entire time, Jennifer watched plainly as he dropped to the ground before her eyes.

Right then, she was no longer the affable granny in front of Katherine but a cold-blooded demoness.

Very quickly, jet-black blood flowed out of the man's cavities, and Jennifer sighed while fixing her gaze on him. "Why waste your life for those people? I know who you work for. Go back and tell her not to look for me ever again. I never thought of returning to the Jetton Family ever since I left. As for the things I took with me, they were all that my mother left me. If they want them, pay with their lives."

With that, Jennifer rubbed her face against her hands, and her hoary face changed instantly. Right now, she looked to be in her early forties, and her hunched figure gradually became tall and straight—it was like magic.

Even though she ambled down the hill in her black shoes, none hiding in the shadows dared come forward since they had all just witnessed how Chip died. It was such a horrible feeling that even the hairs on the back of their necks stood.

All Jennifer did was take a couple of steps toward Chip, spoke a few words, and the man dropped to the ground just like that, dying a miserable death.

Fearing for their dear lives, no one dared to approach Jennifer. Thus, the elder merely waltzed down the graveyard.

Meanwhile, Katherine and Joaquin had arrived, entering the graveyard one after another. Just as they were about to head up the hill to look for Jennifer, Katherine brushed past the latter coincidentally, leading her to instinctively frown and look toward the middle-aged lady with thick makeup on her stunning features.

Katherine smelled a faint, familiar scent; it was one that she knew she had smelled before. More than that, she thought the lady's gaze was somewhat familiar as well.

However, she looked at least five feet five inches, which was pretty tall for a woman. As a medical practitioner herself, Katherine knew the transfiguration technique allowed someone to change their appearance but not their height. Thus, she withdrew her gaze in no time, shaking her head as she chuckled at herself before continuing her journey up the hill.
