A Replacement Bride

Chapter 315

Just as Katherine and Joaquin were about to leave the presidential suite to look for Eddie, someone from outside banged on the door hard, and before the two knew it, several strong men wearing black rushed in and surrounded them.

Before she could react, she saw Joaquin's face darken. He promptly stood in front of her in a defensive stance, trying to shield her from the men.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you break into the suite? Get out of here right now!" he yelled as fury flashed across his face. But those men were not afraid of him; they didn't even move an inch. And just when Joaquin was thinking about the next move, a man came in and laughed.

Mason raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. "That's right. It's me. It seems that you aren't surprised by my appearance. Are you that sure that we'll meet again?" Without waiting for Katherine's response, he nodded and answered his question as if he was soliloquizing, "Yeah, I bet. After all, we're all Morans. It's normal for family members to be able to read each other's minds. Right, Katherine?"

Katherine couldn't help but tug the corner of her lips in disgust. "Family? Reading each other's minds? Don't make me puke, you moron. Besides, I have made it very clear last time—Grandma has nothing to do with the Morans, let alone me and you."
