A Replacement Bride

Chapter 413 Stop It

A big group of burly men in black stood in the villa, looking like they wanted to kill someone. Carmine and her men were standing opposite them, ready to fight. She paused momentarily, then Katherine pulled Noah behind her, but someone still noticed her.

A certain man turned his head around and looked at her sharply. "Well, if it isn't Miss Cornell." This man was none other than Emmanuel.

Katherine's face sank as she saw him, her eyes narrowed, and she sneered, "It has been a while. Mr. Gray, I heard your company can finally breathe a little. Shouldn't you be working to raise it out of ashes? Why did you come to my place?"

He looked smug and proud; it was as if he didn't just come out of a crisis. Then, he pulled his hand out of his pocket to wag his finger. "Your sources are fast, Miss Cornell. My company fell into a crisis thanks to you, but we're strong. Not every random man or woman can bring us down. No matter how many traps you lay out for us, you cannot topple us."

"Is that so?" she scoffed, not nervous at all. Instead, she said calmly, "I heard you were arrested a few days ago. It's proof that you guys can still be toppled no matter how strong you are."

The mention of his arrest made Emmanuel's face fall. His time in the detention center was the most disturbing aspect of this crisis for him. He had been worshiped by everyone his entire life; however, this one flaw marred his otherwise perfect life. Everyone gave him the cold shoulder ever since Gray Corporation got into a crisis. It felt worse than losing all his money. "I know you're powerful." He stopped smiling. "Still, you can't beat experience, young lady. W Co. might be powerful, and I don't deny that Joaquin is also a powerhouse, but you two alone can't bring us down. I know you tried to buy some time to save Corey, so I'll let it slide.
