A Replacement Bride

Chapter 386 Ancestral Shrine

"We're leaving now. If someone comes to take the box, just fake it when fighting them. And let them take it away."

Hearing that, Joaquin was a little dubious. "You took the box so that they can take it away?"

Katherine smiled with a confident and certain expression. "That's right. If we don't let them take it from us, how would I give Jayden a taste of his own medicine?"

As the two spoke, they walked out of the bank.

Before he could ask her what exactly she was scheming, her guess was right, and a few men dressed in black swarmed over out of the blue, intending to take the box in her hands. The poorly executed plan and the fact that it was carried out at the entrance of the bank showed that these people were not planning to let her take the box into the car.

His expression hardening, Joaquin immediately rushed forward and stood in front of Katherine to protect her. Just then, a few people rushed out from the bank and darted behind Katherine before rapidly snatching the wooden box away from her hand.

With her back toward them, a spark suddenly flashed past Katherine's eyes, and she tightened her grip so that the box would not fall into their hands easily. However, she only put up a fight for a short moment before the men eventually snatched the box. Seeing this, their leader instantly retreated with his men. In just ten minutes, these people vanished without a trace, leaving even the bank security dumbfounded and wide-eyed.

With a glance at each other, Katherine and Joaquin didn't linger any longer and quickly entered the car. After the car pulled away from the bank, Joaquin maneuvered the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other on the window, his cheek on his hand as he let out a small laugh, his expression turning relaxed.

"All right, what exactly did you put in the wooden box?"

Katherine looked at the fleeting scenery through the window carelessly, in a good mood as well, and she asked instead of answering, "Before or after?"
