A Replacement Bride

Chapter 400 Trap

Carmine and David exchanged a look and left the kitchen.

Joaquin said, "What's the matter?"

Katherine opened her mouth, but her phone rang, and it was a call from an unidentified number. She narrowed her eyes, smirked, and took the call.

As expected, it was Emmanuel. "So, Miss Cornell, have you come to a decision?" he asked confidently, and there was smugness in his voice.

Katherine looked at the kitchen counter coolly. "I have, and you're not taking anything away. Not the file, and not your son's life."

The refusal came as a surprise, and Emmanuel stopped smiling, and his face fell. "Is that your choice? You can't save him that easily. Even if you are a genius doctor, he's still unconscious, isn't he?"

Katherine said nothing, and Emmanuel knew he was right. Smugly, he said, "I was right, wasn't I? I didn't give him to you for nothing. I knew you couldn't save him, so give the file to me. He doesn't have long left. You don't want to see him dead, do you?"
