A Replacement Bride

Chapter 211

"Do you mind telling me what it's for? I'm actually in the middle of cooking here. I still haven't had lunch." Katherine looked composedly at Marcus, having not a sliver of fear toward her arrest, and the director couldn't help but be amazed by her composure and verve. However, the more she behaved so, the more he was certain the woman standing before him was no simple character.

Having been on the field for years, people would inevitably be intimidated by his deep hostility. In fact, there was a running joke in his neighborhood that his face could stop kids from crying.

Thus, it proved how scary Marcus looked. However, Katherine wasn't afraid of him at all.

Her gaze had been forthright since he entered the apartment. Hell, they had even looked each other in the eye, but she showed no signs of fear whatsoever. It was evident she wasn't surprised by his sudden visit.

Marcus turned grimmer by the second as he covertly signaled his men. Everyone held their guards up at once, fixing their gazes on Katherine, getting ready to shoot her down once she made any sudden movements.

Katherine caught their actions and felt super helpless.

She was a law-abiding citizen, for heaven's sake! She did nothing wrong, yet she was receiving such treatment.

Annoyed, she looked at Marcus and asked monotonously, "Is this really necessary, Mr. Town? I'm just a defenseless woman. Do you need to dispatch so many men to capture me?"

However, Marcus remained sterned as he looked icily at Katherine. "Not if you're just a simple defenseless woman. However, you are the infamous hacker, Night Owl. Am I right, Miss Cornell?"

"Night Owl? Are you sure I'm Night Owl?" Katherine looked at Marcus with a half-smile.

To that, Marcus snorted and said, "Why ask when you know the answer, Miss Cornell? We'll all have the answers we need after you come with us, no?"

"Are you sure you want me to go with you? It won't be so easy to make me leave once I go through your doors, though." Katherine made nothing of it and looked calmly at him.

"Let's not waste each other's time anymore. Come with us," Marcus said straightforwardly.

"Alright." Katherine stood up, removed the apron, and chucked it aside before finally turning to Keith. "Tell your brother-in-law when he comes over that I'm paying the Department of State a visit and tell Grandma to head to him if she wants to join us for a meal."

With thot, she heoded to the moin door grociously. "Whot is it, Mr. Town? Are you expecting me to usher you?" She turned ond looked ot Morcus when she found thot he hodn't moved.
