A Replacement Bride

Make a sacrifice voluntarily?

Katherine felt like there was a lump in her throat which made her extremely uncomfortable. She forced herself to calm down and tried to stay composed. She knew she couldn't rely on Vermillion Alliance anymore, and the only one she could count on was herself. She had to stay calm, or everything would be over.

At that moment, she regained her composure and coldly looked at the leader of the group. "What do you want?" she asked.

The man raised his eyebrows and signaled to his companion, who immediately understood and took out a bundle of rope and tape from behind and threw it in front of Katherine.

"First of all, you can't move. You must accept being tied up obediently," he said.

Looking at the rope on the ground, Katherine sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? My daughter is still in your hands. If you tie me up, how do I know if you'll let my daughter go?"

The man shrugged it off. "I'll do as I say."

Katherine didn't back down. "You’re a person who kidnaps a young girl to blackmail someone, so why should I trust you?"

Then, she changed the subject and proposed a condition. "You let go of my daughter first, and you're not allowed to send anyone after her. I have to see her leave safely!"

Upon hearing this, the man chuckled. "Do you think you can have whatever you want? Do you think you can negotiate with me in your current situation? What reason do I have to trust you?"

Katherine's eyes were cold. "If we don't trust each other, then we can fight. But I think you might not be able to explain yourself to your boss when the time comes."
