A Replacement Bride

Chapter 12

Jorge clutched his chest with a twisted expression.

Hera raised her head and looked at Katherine. There was an inevitable flash of disgust in her eyes, but she felt ecstatic instead.

Joaquin deserved a vulgar and foolish woman like her so that he would not be a threat to her son!

"You must be Kathy!" Hera looked at her with a warm and gentle expression.

In response, Katherine smirked with an arrogant and rude attitude. "Yes, I am Katherine, the eldest daughter of the Cornells. May I know who you are, madam? Why are you in my house?"

Hera was speechless.

"Katherine!" Jorge glared at her anxiously, wishing he could slap her in the face.

Did she know what kind of situation they were in right now? Was Katherine deliberately trying to embarrass him?

How dare she act so rudely to Hera! What if she agitated Hera, who decided to cancel the engagement?

"Kathy, stop making a fuss. This is Madam Levisay. Greet her politely." Lisa quickly stood up and apologized to Hera, "I'm really sorry. She grew up in Fontan, so she's used to behaving like that. Please don't take her words to heart. I will talk to her about it later."

"Kathy, why aren't you apologizing yet?" Seeing that Katherine did not react at all, Lisa felt her anger starting to burn.

"Who do you think you are to order me around?" Katherine did not even bother to save Lisa's pride.

Hearing that, Lisa was infuriated.

In front of Hera, she had to hold it in, so she gritted her teeth and gulped even though she was eager to chop Katherine's body into a thousand pieces.

Katherine's rude appearance made Hera even more satisfied.

She was indeed the same as what the rumors say—she had extremely poor conduct.

Moreover, she looked sultry and charming. At first glance, one could tell how wild she was. If she were to be married into the Levisays, how could she possibly endure Joaquin's disability?

Perhaps after a few days of marriage, there would be a scandal, and Joaquin would then become the joke of Hovington.

"Alright, Mrs. Cornell. Let's not embarrass her since she's too young. Let's continue our discussion." To be frank, Hera was very satisfied with Katherine and wished she could marry into the Levisays immediately.

She looked at Katherine with a smile and opened her mouth to defend her.

Katherine raised her brows calmly and glanced at Hera.

Could she really tolerate Hera?

"I'm so sorry, Madam Levisay. We're at fault for not teaching our children well." Lisa sighed with a sad face.

"Kathy, come over and sit beside me. Let's have a chat about your marriage with Joaquin." Hera ignored Lisa but greeted Katherine warmly.

Seeing that, Lisa felt a burning sensation on her face, feeling utterly awkward.

She could not help but glare at Katherine, but Katherine simply walked over and sat down beside Hera.

"Everyone knows my son's condition, so I won't be elaborating on that anymore. My husband hopes to arrange the marriage as soon as possible, so I propose to hold the wedding on the eighth of next month. Do you have any objections?"

Hera suppressed the joy in her heart and took on the appearance of a wealthy lady again.

"The eighth of next month?"

Jorge did not expect things to go so smoothly. It was a surprise that Hera did not mind Katherine's rudeness.

He was overjoyed. Once the marriage was confirmed, the Cornells' status would rise, and they could finally walk on the streets of Hovington with their heads held high!

"If your family has no objections to it, we don't have any as well." He was so eager to seal the deal that he would be happier to marry Katherine off tomorrow.

Katherine could not help but glance at Hera.

How could Hera not be picky after witnessing her attitude? She even set the date for marriage immediately! Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

She had to be a stepmother!
