A Replacement Bride

Chapter 339

Carmine thought for a moment before her eyes brightened further. "Miss, I'll relay the orders right away!"

She was about to turn around and leave when she remembered something and paused. "As for the Morans…"

Katherine knew what she was about to ask. "I have plans for them."

Kelvin reported, "Miss Cornell, the process of shifting our headquarters back to Hovington as you ordered will be completed by this week. The chosen location is in the newly developed area in Ewing and the board will return within a week."

She was satisfied by this. "You've worked hard. I'll move someone back to organize the proceedings in Hovington. Your main responsibility is our branch in Kyoland. Make sure to finish what I've assigned you as soon as possible."

"Yes, Miss Cornell," he responded seriously. "I will resolve it as fast as I can and keep you updated."
