A Replacement Bride

The man furrowed his brows, his face looking unpleasant as he gave Emmanuel a fierce glare before turning to Katherine. "It's not your turn to ask me questions yet. When it's time for you to know, I will tell you," he said.

Upon hearing this, Katherine smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She then spoke in a cold and harsh tone, "It’s not my turn to ask you questions?! What does that mean? Do you expect me to just stand here and wait?"

At that moment, she turned the tables on him, her aura suddenly becoming fierce. "Who do you think you are to make me wait? Even Jayden is just a foolish loser who lost to me. You're just his lapdog, and yet you’re trying to show off in front of me? Ha, we'll see if you're worthy of that!"

She berated him, causing his face to turn as black as coal. He tried to retaliate by threatening her, "Who do you think you are then? You’re just a trapped woman. I still have your daughter in my hands, so you should cooperate with me or she will face the consequences!"

He thought she would be afraid, but Katherine's reaction was unexpected; her pressure dropped sharply, and she fixed a deadly gaze upon him. "If you dare to touch her, try me," she warned.

From a distance, her gaze shot toward the man like an arrow, fierce and sharp. For some unknown reason, the man felt a chill run down his spine and even broke out in cold sweat on his back. He felt inexplicably uneasy. Just as the atmosphere became tense to the extreme, a burly man walked in with something in his hand and quickly approached the man, whispering something into his ear.

His expression immediately changed as he took whatever the burly man was holding and squinted at it.

Katherine watched their every move, her eyes lingering on the bag while she contemplated her next move. At the same time, she calculated when Carmine and the others would arrive.

At first, she thought she could hold on for a while longer, but unexpectedly, the man's expression returned to his previous arrogance, with a glint of determination in his eyes.

"Ha..." he let out a cold laugh from his throat, then raised his hand and clapped.

After a few claps, more burly men rushed out and immediately surrounded Katherine.
