Chapter 283

Joaquin looked grim after leaving Fraser Residence with Katherine holding his wrist.

When she noticed his expression, she lifted a brow and grinned mischievously. "Tsk tsk. I thought Mr. Levisay was unemotional. Why the anger?"

He gave her a side-eye and grunted. "That rascal was rude to you. Why did you hold me back?"

Had she not restrained him, he would have beaten Myles to a pulp and made him live in regret forever.

She understood his intention. Letting go of his wrist, she let out a lazy yawn. "Why waste your time on men like Myles? He's not the first one to be rude to me. If I were to take it personally every time I was humiliated, I would have died of high blood pressure a long time ago."

He fell into a short silence but soon raised a brow at a newfound realization. He knew that Katherine was generous, but she was not foolishly kind either. "What did you mean when you said he would be paralyzed within three days?" His eyes shined.

I insisted on visiting the Frasers for a follow-up checkup precisely because I was worried about this scenario. Well, if they don't need one, there's no issue here. He can bear the suffering for all he wants."

Joaquin was surprised to hear that. "Is the side effect that serious to the point of paralyzing a person?"

"Of course." Katherine shot him a sly smile, and her expression was aggressive yet charming at the same time.
