A Replacement Bride

Chapter 263

"Ben, give her the documents," Joaquin immediately ordered in a cold voice.

The man did as was told and instantly tossed the documents he was holding to the ground.

"Here you go, hag. See for yourself." Ben used a sarcastic tone when he talked, and he did not show even a hint of respect for the unreasonable woman.

Emma's expression darkened when she turned her attention to him. Resentment dripped from her as she recalled him as the person calling Arthur during their last encounter.

As the realization dawned on her, she scowled and got up in a wobbly fashion. Then, she accused harshly, "Do all the Hovington residents lack manners just like you? Is that how you treat the elderly?"

Ben scoffed at her words and he did not bother to hide the sarcasm in his tone as he countered, "I can be respectful to the people who deserve it. You're not among them, so spare me from your nonsense. Get out right away after you read the documents. You aren't welcome here."

He heard that the dishonorable woman in front of him dared challenge Joaquin and try to take Katherine away, so he didn't bother to be friendly toward her.

"You—" Emma almost blew a gasket after he fired the words at her.

At that moment, Joaquin parted his thin lips and chimed in coldly, "You keep saying Kathy is one of the Rosenburgs. However, you're just using your title as a family elder and your old age to take advantage of her besides being unreasonable. She let it slip only because she is kind, but I won't let you off the hook that easily. I hate every sleaze who dares to try my patience, including you. I don't care whether you're an elder or a child. As long as you try to harm Kathy, you don't deserve my friendliness."

As he said that, he glanced at the documents on the ground before the corners of his lips curled into a sneer.

"Kathy and Grandma have been telling you that she isn't related to any of you. Since you have trouble comprehending human words, you should see for yourself. The results have proven that Kathy isn't related to the Rosenburgs, nor she is your blood."

Emma paused at his statement before she bent down to pick up the documents from the ground.
