A Replacement Bride

Chapter 10

"What are you going to do about last night? I helped you. Is that how you repay my kindness?" Katherine felt a little anxious in her heart, but she still looked calm on the surface, as if she was not afraid of Joaquin hurting her at all.

After all, she already held a silver needle between her fingers. As long as Joaquin made any wrong move, she would immediately let this man feel what desperation was like.

"Oh? Then tell me, how do you want me to repay you?" Joaquin smiled and glanced at her clenched fingers, his eyes sarcastic.

Katherine lifted her neck and looked at Joaquin. "Let me out of the car, and I'll treat that as repayment…"

She froze before she finished speaking because the man suddenly moved closer to her.

Katherine instinctively wanted to avoid it, but the back of her head was held down and pushed forward a few inches.

At that moment, her scalp was numb.

The man's warm breath brushed past her ears, while the hand that fell on the back of her head slowly slid down and landed on her neck in an ambiguous manner. It tightened slightly, and then the man sighed as if looking at his prey. "Your neck is really fine…"

It was so fine that he could break it with little effort.

Katherine's eyes were slightly rounded in disbelief and fear.

I've actually let myself get trapped by someone! This is something that hasn't happened in years!

Katherine squeezed the silver needle in her hand and was thinking about whether to bring him down with her when the man's voice rang out, interrupting her movement. "If you don't want to return it, that's fine. It's just that the pendant is what I want to give to my future wife. Since you took the token of love that I've prepared, does it mean you plan to marry me?"

Katherine listened to his words, and there was an inexplicable layer of cold sweat on her back.

Joaquin touched the sweat on her neck and laughed. "What are you afraid of?"

Her thoughts were exposed, and she did not care about anything else anymore. She reached out and pushed Joaquin away, then scolded coldly, "You're shameless."

Joaquin said, "It's not very nice to let you cheat on the Levisay guy and marry me, but… I like that."

He smiled meaningfully.

"You keep saying that I took your belongings. But where's the evidence?" Katherine was convinced that Joaquin had no evidence to prove that she took it, so she had no fear.

"You were pursued by killers last night, so maybe you lost it on the way. Why are you so sure it was me?"

Seeing that Joaquin's expression loosened for a moment, Katherine knew that she had made the right bet.

He really had no evidence.

So, she became more and more aggrieved, and her eyes instantly turned red. "I kindly helped you last night. It's fine if you don't want to thank me, but you instead kidnap me and accuse me of taking your

things. Although I just returned to Cechirus, I am not to be bullied!"

Joaquin, who was still shaken just now, suddenly smiled when he saw her reaction. "I was almost deceived by you, you little fox."

He was about to say something else when a familiar voice suddenly came from the earphone. "Sir, the Levisays are coming this way and we are about to cross paths." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

The Levisays?

Joaquin's cold voice rang in the car. "Stop the car."

The driver pulled over and stopped. Joaquin sat upright, did not look sideways, and did not look at Katherine either. "Whether you took my things or not, the truth is best not to be discovered by me. Get out of the car."

Soon, Katherine opened the car door and got out. Watching the black car speeding away, she furrowed her brows, feeling that the man was weird.

Is he afraid of the Levisays then?
