A Replacement Bride

Chapter 208

Jennifer became upset at once. She didn't even have a chance to speak when Katherine choked her, seemingly wanting to break her neck.

At that, she looked toward Joaquin for help.

Joaquin, too, realized things were going awry as he watched from aside the whole time. "Kathy, wait. She might really be Grandma." He hurriedly stopped Katherine.

Katherine took a dubious gander at Joaquin in response before shifting her eyes back onto Jennifer and finally letting her go after some thought. "I'll kill you right here and now if you don't explain everything to me."

"Katherine Cornell! How dare you lay your hands on me! I am your grandmother. Can you not tell?! Open your eyes and take a good look at me!" Now that she was released, Jennifer snapped at the young woman at once.

However, Katherine only frowned at her silently, leading the elder to bring out the big guns. "When you were five, you ate all the mulberries your grandfather bought to infuse his liquor and ended up with stomach flu when you got to kindergarten. Then, you pooped in your pants by accident and cried for a long time after returning home. Since then, you never ate a mulberry again."

Katherine regretted at once as soon as Jennifer spoke up, but before she could interject, Jennifer had already spilled her embarrassing past.

Jennifer, on the other hand, snorted at Katherine's mortification and continued, "Then, when you had your first period at thirteen, it was one of your male classmates who discovered it. He thought you were dying when he saw how much you were bleeding. He even called 911 and took you to the hospital. In the end—"

"Alright, stop! I believe you now." Katherine's face was red as she hurriedly covered Jennifer's mouth, to which the elderly raised her chin with feigned arrogance and shoved the woman's hand away. "You have a lot of nerve, Katherine Cornell, to strangle and want to kill me! How can you not make out your grandmother?"

"And it's my fault you looked like that just now?!" With that, the young woman narrowed her eyes as she realized her grandmother had led her off-topic. "Wait, hold up. You haven't explained to me how you know transfiguration, and at an expert level at that! Explain to me, Grandma—just who the heck are you?"

Jennifer became conscience-stricken at once. "What do you mean who am I? I'm your grandmother, that's who. Goodness me, I'm exhausted. I'm going home now. Oh, my limbs… I swear, visiting your grandfather's grave is really going to be the death of me."

"Grandpa's grave isn't here." Katherine unmasked her lie peevishly.

However, Jennifer didn't feel owkword ot oll. "Oh, is thot so? No wonder I found it stronge when I couldn't find it. My memory must be cotching up to my oge. To think I'd forget thot old mon's grove. Sigh, I'm reolly getting on in yeors. I should just go home. Heck, I might even forget the woy home somedoy. Hurry up ond toke me home."
