A Replacement Bride

Chapter 368

There was someone from that family who happened to be basking in the sun in the yard. Joaquin walked over quickly, negotiated with that person in Fontanian, then quickly handed him a card. Next, he took the car keys and led Katherine into the car. This entire process was quite fast, and before Katherine could react, she was already sitting in the co-pilot seat of the car. While she was still thinking about what Joaquin said just now, the car had already zoomed off. She had to admit that just now when she heard him make such a firm promise with such a calm expression, there was a throbbing sensation in her heart that could not be ignored. This sensation seemed so inappropriate at a time like this, yet it was so uncontrollable. She never thought that one day, she would be protected by someone like this, not to mention, being protected by this man. Moreover, what amazed her the most was that she didn't mind such protection; she even felt a little bit of joy melting in her heart.

Realizing that her thoughts were drifting away, she bit her lips lightly and forced herself to calm down before remembering to ask him, "What did you just tell that person? Why did he just let you drive it away?"

Joaquin stepped on the accelerator and the car sped up, but he was not nervous at all. It was as if he was on vacation. Hearing this, he looked at her with a careless smile on his lips. "It's easy. In this world, there is almost nothing that can't be done with money. Money touches the heart all the time. It's a solid truth."

Katherine thought of the card he had just handed to that person and felt it made sense. That card was a gold card, so it must contain money with an amount of up to seven digits. Thinking about it this way, she couldn't help but feel a little wasteful. "This car is so broken; it's not worth the money you gave…"

Joaquin laughed after hearing this and squeezed her cheek with one hand. "You're so stingy. The situation was so urgent at that time that there was no time to bargain. It's just a card, so it doesn't matter."

While speaking, he glanced at the rearview mirror. His gaze suddenly became deep and icy, and when he spoke again, his voice became much colder.

"Furthermore, it's only a few million. Our two lives are worth much more than that."

Katherine also took advantage of the opportunity to glance at the rearview mirror, only to see several jeeps following behind them.

Tsk, they keep coming after us. How annoying.

She curled her lips. "You're right. As long as we can shake off this group of people, it's a good deal."
