A Replacement Bride

Chapter 316

As Mason was speaking, he started grinning grimly. "Katherine, I'll just be honest with you. The entire hotel is surrounded by my people right now. Don't be delusional—no Grants will come to your rescue like before. Not even a fly can reach here. Give me what I want if you know what's best for you. You can save yourself from having to suffer. Otherwise…" He trailed off, but the meaning he wanted to convey was clear as day. He was very confident that winning and getting what he wanted was inevitable. His proud look made him even more despicable and disgusting.

"My people will get rough and be merciless when it is necessary. So, you both won't get out of this unscathed. They might even accidentally get you and your little lover killed. However, I don't mind organizing your funerals since your grandmother just passed away."

Katherine sneered when she heard that. "You boastful piece of sh*t."

Joaquin seized the opportunity to stand in front of her again because he had a gut feeling that a fight was about to break out. His icy-cold and gloomy eyes were staring at Mason dead in the eyes. "I dare you to touch her, Mason. Let me get this straight. If you so much as harm a hair on her head, I will kill one of your family members. If she is seriously injured, I will make sure the Morans disappear from this world!"

This was the first time she ever saw Joaquin threaten others. As she was staring at his broad back, her eyes lit up, and her lips slightly curled up.

Of course, Mason did not take the threat seriously because he had the numbers advantage. He snorted coldly with his face full of disdain.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me? You should be worried about whether you can get out of here alive! Joaquin, you'd better hurry up and tell your lover what's best for you both. Hand over the secret scroll now. Or else, you shall rot in hell."

As Mason spoke, he signaled at the strong men with his eyes, and they immediately understood his order. Immediately, they faced Joaquin and took a fighting stance.

However, Joaquin huffed scornfully at the sight. "So, you are trying to rob us in broad daylight. Well, there is indeed no need to continue the conversation since we are enemies. If you think you can hurt me, just go ahead."
