A Replacement Bride

Chapter 225

"Find them first and uncover the truth in the shortest time possible. Also, make the necessary preparations; I'll be dropping by the Fraser Residence for a bit." Katherine's expression was rather serious. She didn't explain much to Marcus as she instructed him coldly.

Seeing that, Marcus didn't dare question her, for he feared that something might happen. After all, Zak Fraser was a powerful man. The people he was involved with were never common folk, so if something were to happen, Marcus would be biting off more than he could chew.

Marcus left in a haste.

Katherine rubbed between her eyebrows, her expression still sullen.

Joaquin frowned when he saw her like that. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Zak? Do you know anything?"

"Yes." Katherine nodded. When she saw Jennifer looking at them, she stayed silent briefly before asking Joaquin directly, "Have you heard of the man-faced curse?"

Joaquin was about to reply when Jennifer's hand suddenly trembled, causing the thermos cup in her hand to crash onto the floor.

Seeing Jennifer's reaction, Katherine seemed to have thought of something. A short while later, she asked Jennifer, "Grandma, are you alright?"

"I'm okay. I'm getting old, so my hands are getting shaky. Carry on, you two. I'm going back to rest." The old woman looked a little uneasy. She didn't say much to Katherine before retiring to her room right away.

Katherine pursed her lips, staying silent as she watched Jennifer's retreating silhouette.

"What's wrong?" Joaquin noticed something odd about Katherine's expression, so he couldn't help but look in the direction Jennifer left.

Katherine shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm getting tired, so I'll go rest as well. You should go back to your own house tonight."

With that, Katherine didn't even give Joaquin a chance to reply as she immediately walked away, leaving him alone. She went back to her room and closed the door.
