A Replacement Bride

Chapter 323

When Katherine returned to Lab 7, Howard was so courteous toward her that he could be said to be at her beck and call.

However, she remained unfazed, "Professor Walt, I need to borrow your test laboratory for two days. During these two days, don't let anyone disturb me."

"Sure. No problem!" He nodded repetitively. "I'll have someone make the necessary arrangements, and please let me know if you require anything else."

Following her request, he immediately ordered someone to prepare them and invited her into the reception room.

"This is—" Howard initially sucked up to Katherine, but then he turned and gave Joaquin a doubtful, bewildered look.

Meanwhile, Joaquin did not respond and stared at Katherine, who cleared her throat and informed, "He's my husband, Joaquin Levisay."

The word "husband" elicited a light smile from Joaquin, who appeared ecstatic. He turned to look at Howard with a calm expression and a trace of amorous feelings at the corner of his eye. "Nice to meet you, Professor Walt."

"Hello!" When Howard heard Katherine's explanation, he hurriedly greeted Joaquin. "So, you're Miss Cornell's husband! You're indeed handsome and dignified. You and Miss Cornell are like a match made in heaven!"

Joaquin never cared about how others sucked up to him, but Howard's flattery was on point, so he treated Howard a tad nicer, which was rare.

A little embarrassed, Katherine cleared her throat and interrupted Howard. "Professor Walt, I need the test laboratory for urgent matters, so please hurry up and make the necessary arrangements."

When Howard heard that, he left immediately to make arrangements for her.

Only two people remained in the reception room, and Katherine looked at Joaquin with the intent to speak. However, her phone abruptly rang. Then, she gave the screen a quick glance and then arched an eyebrow as she realized it was a call from Nadia.

Since Celestial Cosmeceutical is expanding steadily, she won't get in touch with me unless there's something urgent. With that thought, Katherine immediately answered the call and got straight to the point. "What happened?"

When Nadia heard Katherine's voice, she informed, "Miss Cornell, Moran Corporation called this morning and said they're interested in establishing a cooperation with us." As the Moran Family was influential, she did not dare to make a decision without consulting Katherine.

When Katherine heard that she raised an eyebrow and asked slowly, "Moran Corporation? Is it the company from Kyoland?"
