A Replacement Bride

Chapter 416 Imprisonment

Emmanuel shot up and roared, "You think you get to question what I do? As long as I am alive, you can never be the leader of this house!"

Sharon noticed the commotion. Worried about her son, she quickly came in and tried to de-escalate the situation. "What are you two doing? Corey had just come home after so long. Can you stop yelling at him? He needs to heal."

Emmanuel sneered, "I'm not trying to yell at him. He should've stayed in his room if he wanted to heal, not come here and tell me what to do."

Since she couldn't convince Emmanuel to stand down, she turned to her son. "Let's go, son. You need to rest. You've given me a proper scare, you know. Quick, go back to your room. Don't make your father mad."

Corey didn't move. He kept staring at Emmanuel. "I don't care whom you want to hurt, but if you try to do anything to Kathy, I will stop you." He then turned to leave.

"What are you doing?!" Emmanuel asked.

Corey didn't answer. He merely kept walking away. A hint of fury clouded Emmanuel's eyes, and he called for his guards. "Stop him and take him to his room! Do not let him leave without my permission, or I'll break your legs!"

His bodyguards quickly approached the study and surrounded Corey. Apologetically, one of them said, "Master Corey, please go back to your room."

Corey turned around and looked at Emmanuel coldly. "Why? Are you trying to imprison me?"

"Why? Can't I? I am your father. I can do whatever I want." He shot his bodyguards a look. "Take him away and confiscate all his communicating devices. Do not let him contact anyone."

However, he was too weak to fight these bodyguards, so he was taken back to his room. He could do nothing but watch as they took his phone and computer away with a tense look. Even though he had no idea who Emmanuel's benefactor was, he was sure they would attack Katherine. Katherine… The thought of Katherine made him sit down. He hung his
