A Replacement Bride

A little kid? Ha, it seems like the person controlling him is quite young.

The doubts Katherine had been harboring were gradually coming to the surface. She smirked while looking at Emmanuel with a mocking expression and continued to push his buttons.

"Is that so? But all I see is that you're being bossed around by a little kid. He tells you to go east, then you won't dare go west. He tells you to go south, then you won't dare go north. You can shout and be tough in front of me, but when you're in front of him, you're as obedient as a dog."

As she spoke, she sighed mockingly.

"Actually, it was my fault. I was the one to make you hate me. He just took advantage of your situation and your hatred toward me to make you work yourself to death for him. I bet if you had tricked and captured me yourself, you probably would have found a way to humiliate me or even killed me directly. But now, all you can do is stand here and do nothing. You're probably afraid of the people around you. After all, these thugs aren't your own men."

As she spoke, her gaze subtly scanned the surroundings, mentally calculating how many people were there. Including the four guards outside the door and those guarding the area, there were probably less than 20 people.

Not bad. There are quite many of them. They must really think highly of me.

Emmanuel's face grew even uglier as he was being exposed. He was so angry that his face turned red and his veins bulged as he denied her accusations. "Stop spouting nonsense!"

Seeing his reaction, Katherine laughed even more heartily. "How could I be spouting nonsense? After all, your thugs previously fought with mine. Besides, compared to these people, they're not even on the same level. Even if you sent ten of your men, I could still take them down. But these people here look like they're either your boss' men or hired by him. I'm really curious, though. How can you stomach having so many spies around you all the time? Can you eat and sleep well?"
