A Replacement Bride

Chapter 346

Before leaving the room, Hera even shot a vicious glare at Katherine. Apparently, she was very bitter toward the latter.

However, Katherine didn't mind it at all. She kept smiling with her eyes crinkled, which angered Hera even more.

After the trio had left, Keith couldn't help clapping. "Tsk, tsk. Seriously, Joaquin, each member of your family is more shameless than the last," he commented casually. As soon as he said that, he recalled that Joaquin was still a member of the Levisay Family. Hence, he promptly clapped his hand over his mouth.

Joaquin didn't take his words to heart, though. His eyes darkened as he sneered, saying, "They could hardly sit still as soon as they learned the news. They're like dogs attracted to the smell of meat."

Such a comment by one of the Levisay Family's own members was the deadliest, and it was obvious from how Joaquin spoke so unfavorably of the trio that he was totally indifferent toward his family.

Recalling the terms John had proposed just now, Katherine pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you really not care about the Levisay Group's shares? If you mind, I can—"

Joaquin raised his hand and gave her a gentle knock on her smooth forehead. "What are you thinking about? Even if I want to get my hands on the Levisay Group's shares, I've got plenty of ways to do so. I don't need you to make concessions." He'd only never touched the Levisay Group because he couldn't care less about it. Still, it wouldn't be difficult for him to lay his hands on the company if he wanted.

Naturally, Katherine knew full well what he was capable of. She curled her lips, arguing, "I just wanted to help save you some trouble, no?"

I can help you if you want the Levisay Group's shares, and you don't have to feel embarrassed about it. You've helped me a lot before, so I should get the company's shares for you in order to return the favor. It's just a collaboration, no? Don't worry.

she's kind of dense when it comes to relationships." He had seen it very clearly just now; although Katherine had married Joaquin, she was still keeping her distance from him without devoting herself completely to their marriage. "She seems to have no desire whatsoever, but perhaps because she's been through a lot, she actually takes relationships very seriously. She doesn't dare to be kind to anyone as she pleases, but there's one thing that she's always insistent about—she'd always do her best to repay exponentially any favor done to her.
