A Replacement Bride

Chapter 358

Before she could finish her long-winded and sarcastic speech, it was abruptly cut off by a scream.

With a sharp snap, Katherine swung her hand and slapped Mrs. Jaco, and a crisp sound echoed through the room.

The slap was so harsh that it sent Mrs. Jaco tumbling onto the stairs and hitting her waist against a step as she moaned in pain.

Katherine remained emotionless, her eyes cold and her lips curling into a cruel smile. "Illegitimate child?" she sneered. "What makes you think you can bark in front of me?"

Behind her, the two individuals were shocked that she would resort to violence. Their expression changed dramatically, aghast at the situation.

"Katherine! How dare you lay your hands on my family! This is the Levisay Family's territory, and you can't just cause trouble here!" Hera shouted through gritted teeth. Her eyes burned with anger, wishing she could step forward and tear the woman's mouth apart.

Katherine simply laughed, yet her eyes were devoid of any glimmer of a smile. "Am I not allowed to cause trouble here? I just did, though." she retorted. "Since the Levisays have no shame, why should I care?"

She was tired of engaging in a meaningless argument with these people, so she simply spoke her piece and turned to step over Mrs. Jaco's body, intending to head upstairs.

"Stop her! Don't let her go up the stairs!" Hera quickly commanded.

Despite being in pain and sweating buckets of cold sweat, Mrs. Jaco had to obey the command, so she reached out to grab Katherine's ankle. But before she could even touch her, Katherine raised her foot and kicked her viciously on her chest, causing Mrs. Jaco's face to turn pale as she let out a painful scream.

At the sight of this, Elizabeth became frantically anxious. She pounded the coffee table furiously and shouted, "Stand still, you b*tch!"

Hera could no longer hold back too. She raised her leg, ready to rush over and grab her.
