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."

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 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."
