A Replacement Bride

Chapter 16

Joaquin raised his eyebrows lightly and smirked.

Ben might be blind, but he was not.

He could clearly see the silver needle on the woman's fingertip.

Interesting.

"J-Joaquin, are you smiling?" Ben showed him an incredulous expression.

Joaquin never smiled, and his face was always cold. Even if he smiled occasionally, he would only give a forced smile. After knowing him for years, it was the first time Ben had witnessed him smiling from the bottom of his heart.

Ben was shocked to the core.

Joaquin glanced at him lightly and commented, "You're blind."

Ben was speechless and looked at Joaquin for a while. When he saw the usual poker face again, he thought he was hallucinating the smile on Joaquin's face earlier.

Maybe he was really blind?

"K-Katherine?" Rosemary looked at Katherine dully. Realizing that she could finally speak, she subconsciously covered her throat.

At this time, her mind was a mess, and her whole body was dry and warm. It was extremely uncomfortable.

What did she do to her?!

Why couldn't she move or make a sound just now?!

"First, my mother only gave birth to one daughter, so I don't have a sister. Second, one must know their limits. Don't try to do anything they aren't good at." Katherine caressed her back and smiled while talking to her.

The two were so close that Katherine's lips seemed to be touching Rosemary's ear. They looked like sisters with a tight-knit relationship, but only Rosemary heard how cold her words were.

"Enjoy your time here. I'm going home." After saying that, Katherine let go of Rosemary and stood up to leave.

"Wait. Are you going to leave just like that? You're hurting my pride. You can leave, but I'll only let you go if you down these drinks."

Just as Katherine stood up, her path was blocked. She tilted her head and looked at the man in front of her, stating, "She drank for me just now."

Mr. Harvey's gaze on Katherine was filled with arousal and heat, which easily made her disgusted. With a smile, he uttered, "That doesn't count."

While saying that, he inched forward.

"Stop." Katherine stopped him in a good temper.

There was a burst of laughter surrounding them, so he took another big step forward.

Katherine subconsciously stretched out her hand to block him, but he grabbed her arm before she could touch him.

The man's gaze looked obsessed as he rubbed Katherine's arm.

Katherine's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her aura exploded.

Before Mr. Harvey realized what was going on, he felt a sharp pain in the abdomen, and everything else seemed to zoom past him.

The next moment, he slammed into the dance floor heavily, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

There was a moment of silence in the entire bar before the scene returned to normal.

Everyone in the booth went silent, watching Katherine with their mouths wide open, forgetting to react.

"I told you not to come any nearer but you just had to." Katherine patted her hands in disgust, and with a look of regret, she spat that sentence and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was still silent.

What did they just watch? A weak woman exploding out of anger?

"Mr. Harvey, Mr. Harvey…" Someone finally reacted and rushed over to check Mr. Harvey's situation.

The scene was chaotic.

On the second floor, Ben's mouth finally shut, and Joaquin was no longer in the room.

It had just rained outside, so the air was still humid, and there were puddles on the ground. The moment one's foot comes in contact with the puddle, splashing noises could be heard.

When Katherine just came out, she bumped into a few hooligans blocking her way.

"Tsk tsk. What a beautiful young lady. Aren't you lonely? Wanna play with us?"

This place was originally dodgy. In addition to that, Katherine was alone and dressed in ordinary clothes. At first glance, they could tell she was not from a wealthy family.

Therefore, the hooligans were not afraid of her.

At that moment, Katherine was already in an irritable state. She no longer wanted to pretend to be weak. Just as she was about to leave after taking care of this group of troublemakers, she could sense someone watching her.

From the corner of her eyes, she could see a shadow leaning against the lamppost. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

It was a familiar one.

After taking another glance, she felt uneasy.

Why was he here?

Was he going to just sit and watch for fun?

After realizing that the man might be watching for fun, Katherine lowered her head, loosened her tense shoulders, and retracted her outstretched hand weakly, pretending to be weak and pitiful before uttering, "M-My boyfriend is waiting for me there…"
