A Replacement Bride
Chapter 223
Chapter 223
Meanwhile, the sight of Keith and Noah standing behind Katherine and Joaquin as they attentively watched the two of them play a game greeted Marcus when he entered the living room.
The man was startled, for it was the first time he saw Joaquin looking so relaxed. He stood there for quite a while, and it wasn't until the battle ended that he went over and said with a polite smile, "Miss Cornell, Colonel Levisay."
Hearing that, Joaquin shot him a glance and put on a faint smile.
In an instant, Marcus' heart skipped a beat as his hair stood on end. Both doubtful and shocked, he took a look at Joaquin with uncertainty, not knowing if he had offended him in any way. Regardless, it wasn't the right time to think about it. He suppressed the uneasiness he felt and turned to Katherine. "I'm here to seek your help, Miss Cornell."
"What's the matter?" Katherine put down her phone and raised her brows.
"Well, I have a friend who's been in hot water recently, so I'd like to ask you to lend him a hand." Marcus looked at her with a fawning smile.
"What kind of trouble is that? Why can't you just say it?" Katherine furrowed her brows. As she observed Marcus' expression, she formed a guess.
Marcus coughed and replied in a small voice, "Well… It's similar to what got me into trouble previously, but it's trickier this time."
"I don't have time for that." Katherine turned him down directly.
It never crossed Marcus' mind that she would reject him straight away.
Just as he was about to speak, Jennifer came over and glowered at him, for she remembered that this man had previously brought some subordinates with him and taken Katherine away.
"Dinner is ready, so stop playing the game. Look at what you've done to your sister, Keith! She has important work to do. Why did you get her hooked on a game?" Jennifer snapped while glaring at Keith.
With an aggrieved expression, Keith gazed at her and questioned, "Am I really part of this family, Grandma? Why do you treat me differently?"
"Are you and your sister even the same?" Jennifer refuted without hesitation. Seeing that none of them obeyed her order, she urged, "Cut the crap. Get ready for dinner now."
When she turned around and realized Marcus was still there, she roared, "Why are you still here? I did not prepare any food for you. Kathy said that she doesn't have time to give you a hand, so you can leave now. Why did you even come here when it's dinner time? Where are your manners?" With that, Jennifer headed to the dining hall directly.
