A Replacement Bride

Chapter 301

"Is that the limit of your pain tolerance?" Katherine looked at Eddie calmly and continued coldly, "If my grandmother had knelt in front of you just now, then the pain would have been greater than the insignificant discomfort you are feeling right now."

"You…" Eddie gritted his teeth and suddenly yelled loudly, "You are being unfilial! I am your granduncle! How can you treat me in such a manner!?"

She burst into mocking laughter upon hearing those words, reacting as though she had heard the funniest joke in the world. However, the smile did not reach her eyes.

"My granduncle? Hah! Even after learning my identity, you showed no intention of removing the poison from my body. So what? Do you really expect me to show you respect when you don't cherish me?"

Immediately after that, the smile on her lips vanished without a trace. She pressed her lips into an extremely sharp line and continued, "Actually, I'm surprised you actually know the meaning of the word 'filial'. Why didn't you think about how unfilial you were being when you forced my grandmother, who is also your sister, to kneel before you? Huh?"

Eddie seemed intimidated by the aura emanating from her body for some reason. He stared up at her blankly and couldn't find the right words to refute her.

Nonetheless, Katherine was in no hurry. She stared down at him from this position and waited for some time before she continued, "In that case, you should kneel for a little longer as an apology to Grandma."

At this moment, Jennifer finally recovered from her shock and rushed forward to scrutinize Katherine. "Kathy, are you alright now?"

Katherine gave Jennifer a comforting look. "Don't worry, Grandma. I'm fine."

While she was reassuring her grandmother, she could feel a slight burning sensation coming from the rose birthmark on her chest.

However, it was not convenient for her to examine herself carefully with so many outsiders present. So, she could only ignore the strange feeling for the time being and tipped out a single pill from the porcelain bottle in her hand.

Although she had performed self-medication to remove the poison from her body, she was not completely recovered. The poison from the mother curse was highly potent. Therefore, it was better for her to consume the antidote to completely eradicate the poison from her body, just to be on the safe side.
