A Replacement Bride

Chapter 216

"Miss Cornell! Thank you so much for saving my life." Marcus stumbled into Katherine's room with a pale face.

Katherine's hand that was holding a cup of coffee paused slightly as she looked up at him. The dark clouds over his forehead had mostly dissipated. Although there were still traces of it, he would just be slightly unlucky for the time being, but it wasn't life-threatening anymore. Silently, she took a sip of coffee and commented, "Don't mention it."

"Miss Cornell." Marcus raised his head and looked at Katherine eagerly. "How did you know that something would happen to me? That talisman really saved my life. C-Can you give me another one?"

"Dream on." Katherine smiled coldly before withdrawing her gaze. She then put down the coffee and grabbed the book beside her. "If there is nothing else, you may leave now."

"Miss Cornell…" Marcus stared at Katherine aggrievedly.

Unfortunately, Katherine didn't even bother shooting him a glance. If it weren't for Marcu's honesty, she wouldn't have bothered to save his life before.

Seeing that she was unmoved, he couldn't help sighing. After thinking for a while, he added, "By the way, the driver who was with me was seriously injured. He…"

"You're late. He can't be saved." Katherine didn't raise her head when she replied flatly.

Marcus couldn't help but be startled. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. He glanced at the incoming call and noticed it was from the hospital. Thinking of what she just said, he watched her with fear in his eyes and took a deep breath. After that, he picked up the call. "Hello."

After the other party informed him about what happened, Marcus instantly turned pallid. It took a while before he hung up with a blank face. His gaze now was completely different when he glanced at Katherine.

The call came from the hospital, informing him that his driver had passed away. It took no more than ten seconds after Katherine had just said that he could not be saved.

Marcus observed Katherine quietly before finally finding his voice. "Miss Cornell, you…"

"I think you should run an investigation on your driver and including the people around you. Sometimes, high status and power give the people around you an opportunity to abuse that power and bring you disaster." She slowly flipped the page of the book and spoke lightly.
