A Replacement Bride

The bag contained a syringe filled with a colorless and transparent liquid.

Since Katherine had worked in the field of research, she had experience in handling various injectables. At first glance, she immediately felt chills running down her spine.

"W-What is this?"

Her hands clenched into fists, nails digging into her palms, but she was unaware of it. She merely tried to calm herself down.

The man snickered in response. "What's this? Something that will make you stay still! I'm not a fool to tell you what is inside and what it can actually do!"

As soon as he finished his sentence, his gaze turned sharp.

"Mr. Hall was right. Dealing with you is indeed not an easy task, but luckily, he had a backup plan and told Mr. Benedict to develop the drug in advance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known how to hold you down."

After saying that, he glanced at the few people beside her.

Those people immediately took the hint and pressed Katherine down.

Katherine intended to struggle, but she was outnumbered by the number of men pinning her down.

Her fingertips dug even deeper into her palms as she bit her lips, almost making her lip bleed. As if sharp lights were emitted from her eyes, she looked desolate yet stubborn.

At the same time, her mind never stopped running as she tenaciously analyzed the possible effects of the drug.

She was well aware that the drug wasn't ordinary.

Jayden's subordinate had put in much effort to develop the drug. Hence, the ingredients used were definitely not simple.

One thing she was sure about was that the drug wouldn't kill her or harm her severely.
