A Replacement Bride

Chapter 280

"And why can't I? I love Joe, and I'm gonna marry him. Katherine Cornell is not his match!"

"Zip it!" Patricia's patience was running thin. Her voice became stern as she slammed the desk.

"Joaquin is a married man! How could you fall for him and speak such words? Don't forget who you are, Miss Fraser. You should never be a homewrecker. Besides, Katherine saved our family, and you're standing right here, thanks to her! Don't you know how to be grateful? I beg you to stop uttering such disrespectful words about her. Is this how I taught you?"

Cyndi gritted her teeth at being reprimanded by Patricia as she finally showed signs of caving in. Still, the anger in her remained as jealousy filled her. "Even if they're married, they can file a divorce in the future! I don't care if it's Joaquin's second marriage. Mom, you're right. I am Miss Fraser. So, how am I not a match for him? We're supposed to be the perfect match!"

"Enough!" Disappointment flashed across Patricia's gaze as she failed to talk some sense into Cyndi. Her countenance turned somber. "Cyndi Fraser, you better stop right now. Do not be hot-headed or bring this up again. If you dare to disgrace us, don't blame me for the consequences!"

"Mom!" Her strong protest shocked Cyndi.

Meanwhile, at the foyer, Joaquin frowned deeply as irritation clouded his eyes. It seemed like he did not want to set foot into the house. Katherine was rather chill about the situation, for smidgens of interest were evident in her eyes.

Cyndi is one malevolent woman, but her mother is rational. She was aware of Patricia's nature on the day Patricia ran out to her just to offer an apology, albeit sick.

Back to the present, Katherine raised her eyebrow and gave Joaquin a sideways glance. Then, she strode to the living room. Leaving with no choice, he followed suit despite his reluctance.
