A Replacement Bride

Chapter 384 The Regal Summit Bank

Upon hearing this, Joaquin smiled with a hint of pride on his peerlessly good-looking face. "That's right! My Kathy isn't the kind of person who'd let others take advantage of them. And besides, not even the most formidable mercenaries are a match for the Vermillion Alliance."

As the world's leading organization of assassins, Vermillion Alliance was unmatched by any other organization, and its position in the world had never been shaken.

Katherine raised an eyebrow while putting down her cup of coffee. Slightly narrowing her attractive eyes, she looked out the cabin window at the chaotic scene outside with a nonchalant expression. "Since Jayden's the mastermind behind Lab X, the laboratory has to be destroyed. I'll have Dylan get the opportunity to sort them out." Inwardly, she was still resentful at the thought that Jayden actually had something to do with the incident five years ago.

Joaquin's eyes flickered. Having figured out what she was thinking, he lowered his eyes and suddenly let out a soft chuckle.

Baffled, Katherine turned to look at him with eyes full of bewilderment. "What are you laughing at?"

Joaquin's thin lips curved into a good-looking smile. When he lifted his eyelids, his eyes, which were as dark as night, twinkled as though there were stars in them. "I never dreamt that I'd marry such a capable wife, let alone that fate would bring us together in such a way that's beyond description." Naturally, he was referring to the incident five years ago.

When Katherine heard this, her expression turned kind of awkward, and her lips twitched for a moment. "What a perverted sense of humor you have! How could you call it 'beyond description?'"

Listening to her grumbles, Joaquin replied in a good temper, "Alright, I admit that it's a bad choice of words. I also think that what happened five years ago was outrageous, but I'm glad about it sometimes. I'm glad to have met you back then, and I'm glad that we have such a clever and adorable daughter like Noah."

His sudden unbosoming instantly made Katherine feel uneasy.

Luckily, Dylan got on the plane at this moment. He reported with a grin, "Katherine, Joaquin, the plane may take off now. The mercenaries down there have been dealt with."

sharply with a snort, "You previously told me that they were just a bunch of small fries, but none of those who turned up today were beneath us in terms of fighting skills. It was clear at a glance that they'd undergone rigorous training. Not only that, these people have probably been trained for a long time. It's even likely that they've lived in such a way since they were born and have undergone even more rigorous training than we have!

How's that possible?" Jayden's mercenaries were already a formidable organization in the world, and one must at least be both wealthy and powerful in order to be able to hire them. But it turned out they could actually
