A Replacement Bride

Chapter 383 Going Their Separate Ways

"So, you think it's honorable to run away with your tail between your legs because you didn't have the nerve to confront me head-on? You think it's something to brag about?"

Jayden's jaw was set; his expression turned grim at the man's sarcastic remarks.

In contrast to him, Joaquin seemed relaxed to the point of being casual. "Jayden, let me give you a piece of advice—one should take their capabilities into consideration before making threats. It's true that I'm not as powerful in Fontan as you are, but haven't you heard the saying 'good will always triumph over evil?' The bad things you've done are gonna backfire on you sooner or later. As for whether I'll lose to you, well, just go ahead and try to beat me. However, I can also make it clear to you that I've never lost to you before, nor will I lose to you in the future. In fact, you're the only loser here," he said before turning his head. Despite the tense situation, he was able to smile cheerfully. As he pinched Katherine's cheek affectionately, he said, "Alright, let's go."

His hand held hers. Before he left, he paused for a moment as if recalling something. Then, he fished something out of his pocket, turned around, and tossed it to Jayden.

An object that looked like a black button ran down Jayden's clothes before dropping to the floor with a faint thud. It was the tracker.

"Here, it's yours. I'm giving it back to you," Joaquin said before striding off with Katherine.

At this moment, Dylan, who had been looking on silently the whole time, also cast a mocking glance at Jayden before leaving quickly.

Left alone in the whole top-floor cafe, Jayden stood where he was without moving for a long time while staring down at the tracker quietly lying on the floor. His face was sullen, while his eyes were ablaze with rage. Ha! Now that we've turned against each other, I don't have to show mercy anymore. I've given Katherine the opportunity, but she doesn't know to cherish it. Since that's the case, I don't mind resorting to underhand tricks! I have to keep her in the palm of my hand no matter what! The next instant, he took out the phone with a scowl and called Hansel. He coldly ordered, "Listen, I want you to do this right now…"

W Co.. After that, I got to know Corey and others. Well, I was tired during that time, but I often felt less tired thanks to these friends. I didn't have many friends in Fontan, and my life in the Cornell Family was a mess, so I understand better how great it is to have friends. We've rarely kept in touch over these years and are cool toward each other, but our friendships have never changed. I really never expected Jayden to be such a person." At the mention of this, she recalled the frequent advances Jayden had made to her, which she couldn't help but find ironic. "Money and

in a gentle voice, "It's common for people to get tempted by money, and no one could stop some ill-behaved people with sinister intentions from going astray. Perhaps Jayden has always been such a person. It's just that he's good at hiding it, so you guys have never realized it. Kathy, as I said
