A Replacement Bride

Chapter 362

When Joaquin heard Noah acknowledge him, his dark eyes filled with astonishment and happiness. She's right. We're finally a complete family! The corners of his lips curved upward as he chuckled.

As Katherine watched the touching exchange from a distant corner of the living room, she couldn't help but crack a grin. The issue between the father and daughter has been resolved. In the end, my involvement is not necessary. Moreover, Noah's affection for and reliance on her father have flourished. Then, with a sigh of relief, she straightened up and returned to her bedroom.

However, her grin soon faded as she entered her bedroom. Then, she cast a wary glance as she walked to the balcony to call Owen. "I don't want to see any news regarding Levisay Group in the next few days."

The man was a quick thinker and immediately grasped that Katherine was instructing him to cause trouble within the Levisay Group to slow their momentum. When Owen heard her command, he felt elated and immediately complied. "Don't worry, Miss Katherine. I know what to do."

Without uttering another word, she hung up the call.

As Katherine admired the view from the balcony, a chilly light glinted in her bright eyes.

She had no trouble bringing down the Levisay Group. However, Joaquin was still a member of the Levisay Family, and although she was aware of his hatred for them, she did not know what he was planning. She believed that, given his skills, he could control the Levisay Group. Moreover, she wondered if his low profile in recent years was because he was waiting for the right opportunity.

Therefore, she did not command Owen to utterly destroy the Levisays but instead made him oppress them to teach them a lesson. Hah! How dare the Levisays try to collaborate with W Co. and even use my daughter as bait to threaten me? Nevertheless, their plan is poorly thought out and despicable.

Katherine was extraordinary mercy by sparing the Levisays for the time being. For the sake of Joaquin, she decided to let them off the hook. There was no assurance that she would make the same decision if they tried to pull the same stunt again.
