A Replacement Bride

Chapter 398 H1 Reagent

"Yes." Katherine nodded. "The cure is nothing but a drug. He can use it to control Corey and in turn control me. That's his goal. The reason he handed Corey over to me is that he thought I couldn't cure him. And he thought even if I could cure him, he could still have me under control."

David's face fell. He stood around for a moment and sat down, then he slammed his fist down on the coffee table. "That's his own son! How could he do that? He's even worse than an animal!"

Katherine had seen how cruel Emmanuel could be, so she could accept the fact that he was evil. "He's a cautious man who only cares about himself. His family and his lovers are nothing but stepping stones for him, and he'll use them however he wants. Family is nothing to him." I can't believe Corey grew up to be such a happy-go-lucky guy when his family is this f*cked up.

"What now? Are we going to drag it out? How long can he survive?" David gnashed his teeth, looking worried.

Katherine pursed her lips and answered, "He's not in any danger for now. I can't cure all the poisons at the same time, so I'll have to take it slowly. I've sent my men to collect the necessary reagents, but it's rare. Even the black market rarely sells it. I wonder if I can even get it this time. If I can't…" She paused and narrowed her eyes. I think I might have to use Lab 7.

Just hearing that filled David with trepidation. "What about Emmanuel? You only have three days. If you don't give him the file tomorrow, he'll come after you."

"I know." Katherine didn't care. There was mockery in her eyes, and a smirk curled her lips. "But he won't have time for me tomorrow."

David paused. He was lagging a bit. "How so?"

Katherine didn't answer. Instead, she looked at her phone for a while. "Time for him to take his meds. You do it for me. I need to make a call."

"I see." David couldn't force her to say what she didn't want to, so he went into the kitchen to take the meds without saying anything.

Once he went upstairs, Katherine went to the balcony and called Joaquin. The call went through right away.
