A Replacement Bride

Chapter 308

Eddie was momentarily stunned when he heard the words that escaped Katherine's lips. Shortly after, an inexplicable facial expression crossed his face as he began hesitantly, "You mean…"

However, before he finished his sentence, he sized both Katherine and Joaquin suspiciously with his eyes.

After a while, as if he was sure that Katherine was telling the truth, a somewhat strange look was seen on his face before he burst into laughter. Mockery was painted all across his eyebrows as he jeered, "Ha! Haha! I knew it! This is her karma! Who told her to break ties with the Scott-Tuttons in the first place and even stop me from killing Mike?! Now that I know she's dead, I'd say she deserves it! Even God Himself thinks it's unfair for her to be still with the living after so many years and has come to take her life! Haha…"

He laughed wantonly. It was like he was exceptionally delighted about Jennifer's death.

Katherine narrowed her eyes, which were as cold as ice, and a dangerous gleam flashed in them as time went on, and he showed no signs of stopping. Her tightly pursed lips indicated that she was restraining herself from doing any permanent damage to Eddie.

"Eddie, the reason why I've decided to let you live is entirely because of Grandma. You might already be dead now if it wasn't for the fact that she didn't want to see you in trouble! But…"

Then, she swiftly changed the topic midway. At the same time, the temperature in the room dropped to sub-zero levels as her entire being exuded murderous intent.

"You do realize that I can harm you, right? So, I don't need to educate you on what to say and what not to say, do I?"

Eddie's facial expression instantly twisted in anger, for he couldn't believe that he was being threatened by someone younger than him in such a manner.

Therefore, he bellowed, "Katherine! Don't forget that you still need my help! After all, the mother curse of the man-faced curse is in my possession!"

Katherine sized him up as she scoffed before musing unconcernedly, "You seem to have misunderstood things here. I don't need your help. Rather, it's you who is forced to obey me. Otherwise, I can't say for sure what will happen to the Scott-Tuttons."

As she didn't want to waste her time with a man like him, she stopped smiling and her facial expression turned glacial.

"Eddie, I can and will turn you into a mute for the rest of your life with a flick of my finger if you even breathe my way wrongly. So, be a good little dog and get out, hm?"

Since Eddie had never been disrespected like this before, calling his face nasty would be an understatement.

His eyes were sullen, and he looked highly resentful. Yet, he kept his mouth shut, snorting derisively before leaving with large strides.

Katherine withdrew her gaze from that wretched man. Then, she turned to look at Joaquin.
