A Replacement Bride

Chapter 262

Barely functioning as real men should? Is she capable of doing that? Warden gulped. His inquisitive eyes peeked at Emma, seemingly asking her what was going on.

However, there was no way Emma would know. Even she was taken aback when she heard Katherine's words.

At that point, she quickly tried to mediate. "Hush, Kathy! What is a lady like you talking about something like that? That's not very nice—"

However, she had only started talking when Jennifer did not hesitate to interrupt with a scoff.

"Why do you care what Kathy says? You're concerning yourself with way more than you should."

Right then, Katherine nonchalantly raised her eyebrows without a hint of warmth in her eyes.

"I'm not joking," she announced. "You should try to find out my reputation in Hovington, Young Master Brown. I'm sure you'll have more than one person telling you about how I crippled a few scumbags."

She spoke so confidently without missing a beat as if she was speaking nothing but the truth.

Seeing the unwavering look on her face, Warden felt cold sweat gather on the back of his torso, and his legs and stomach seemed to quiver.

"Uh…" He gulped again. His eyes were darting everywhere nervously as thoughts of retreating started filling his head.

Katherine took it up a notch when she noticed this.

"If that's too much effort, I can give you a taste of what I'm capable of."

The moment she started stalking toward him, he was so frightened he quickly stepped backward while trying to stop her with words.

"D-Don't get any closer! I-I'm only here to pick up some girls. I'll leave if you're not up for it!"

Warden was only trying to score a date. He wouldn't think he would be betting the rest of his life off!
