A Replacement Bride

Chapter 318

Katherine didn't have any ill intentions toward the Moran Family. She had chosen not to take any further action because she had more important things to handle then. She didn't have the extra energy to fool around with the Morans. Joaquin understood her intentions, so he went along with her will and settled with a relatively insignificant punishment for the Moran Family. As long as the Moran Family got the message, then Katherine wouldn't mind ignoring their existence and letting this matter slide.

The Morans were all shocked to hear that Mason had been taken to the police station. "How did this happen? Didn't he go to look for Katherine? How did he end up in the police station?" Melise panicked the moment she heard the news, and she circled the hall like a headless chicken. Xander simply sat on the couch with one hand resting on his walking stick.

He shot her a displeased glare before he parted his lips to speak in a hostile tone, "What else can we do? We'll have to head to the police station to bail him out, of course." He had already sent his men over to speak to the police after he heard the news. He was waiting for his men to get back to him.

She didn't know this, so she continued pacing around the room as she tried to think of a plan.

After a while, Xander got tired of her actions, so he snapped at her, "That's enough! Calm down! All this pacing around is giving me a headache! I've already sent someone over to bail him out, so he'll be home soon!" However, Mason didn't get home even after Melise waited for a long while. Tears threatened to trickle down her cheeks as the sun started setting. "Why isn't Mason back, Dad? It has been a few hours! He should've been out by now if your men managed to bail him out!"
