A Replacement Bride

Chapter 192

"H-How dare you?! So this is how you were brought up! The Olsens really didn't educate you well, eh? But it doesn't matter. After I bring you back to the Rosenburgs, I will teach you well and let you know how you should respect your elders." Emma didn't think Katherine would show her such disrespect.

Does she not understand what the Rosenburg Family represents? Even though the Rosenburgs are now down-and-out, the bigshot of a man, Alex, will definitely take care of the Rosenburg Family if he stays alive and wakes up. It will only be a matter of time before the Rosenburgs rise up again and become a giant among giants. Does Katherine not know what she is missing out on by giving me an attitude? Emma fumed.

She was extremely upset and disappointed in Katherine.

However, Katherine let out a disdainful smile and looked at the old lady in front of her coldly. "Respect my elders? Do you think it's honorable to demand respect because of your age? You will have to excuse me, then. In my eyes, only people who respect others deserve to be respected. You obviously aren't one of them."

"You!" Emma was so angry that she almost fainted.

She clutched her chest and gasped for breath, all the while looking at Katherine with disappointment and hatred in her eyes.

Damn b*stard child is the same as her spineless mother! Not only does she not know how to act according to the situation, she doesn't think about what is best for the Rosenburgs!

The thought of Elsie only further fueled Emma's hatred.

The Rosenburgs won't have fallen to where we are not if Elsie hadn't seduced my son!

"Enough with the pleasantries!" Emma had finally lost her patience, and she turned to her underlings instead. "You guys, go ahead and tie her up. It is fine if she doesn't obey. She will be obedient after we teach her a lesson! Katherine, quietly come back to the Rosenburgs and wait for your wedding with Young Master Brown if you know what is best for you. And if you don't listen, I will not spare your grandmother, your brother, and your b*stard daughter. I will make it difficult for them to do anything in the country so that they wish they were dead!"

The two bodyguards came up swiftly and were about to capture Katherine and take her away when Joaquin stepped forward, coldness lacing his handsome features. He then looked at the bodyguards with a compelling gaze like that of a venomous snake.

The two bodyguards were also people who had taken lives before when they killed many people on the battlefield back then, but when they met Joaquin, they still felt a pressure that was so suffocating they couldn't breathe.

This kind of absolute oppression made them unconsciously take a step back, their faces turning pale.

"What are you all doing? Just do it already!" Emma' temper immediately flared when she saw the two men step forward and not only did nothing, but instead took a step back.

Joaquin's eyes were like a hard knife as they swept toward Emma. "You mean you want to steal my woman?"

"Who are you calling your woman? She is the granddaughter of the Rosenburg Family. I have the final say on who she marries!" Emma barked firmly.

"Even Jacob wouldn't dare to talk to me like this in front of me. Even if you have someone powerful backing your family, he still stays respectful with me. How dare you try to steal my woman!" JoaquinAll text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

snorted softly as he exuded a murderous air.

The two bodyguards were, in fact, startled. They knew that they had met someone worthy of them calling their opponent. Joaquin definitely was stronger than the two of them. He was not someone they could win against.

The two of them couldn't even dream of fighting with Joaquin as they only stared straight at him, their faces horror-stricken.

"How presumptuous of you! How dare trash like you say my son's name?! You are just a Levisay! It is just a matter of a few words if I want your family to go bankrupt! You better not piss me off! Get out of the way without putting up a fight, and let me take Katherine away. Or else—" Emma was shaking from anger as she pointed at Joaquin and cursed.

However, he only ignored her while he took out his phone and scrolled through his contact list before he dialed a number.

Emma was still in the middle of biting Joaquin's head off when she suddenly heard an imposing voice from the phone. "Hello? What are you calling me for?"

"Long time no see, Mr. Walton," Joaquin casually greeted with a small smile on his face.

"Oh, it is you, Johdy. Long time no see indeed. What is the matter? Are you calling me for something? Who was talking just now? She sure sounded cocky. Hmph!" The answer that came from the other end of the call had a hint of dissatisfaction.

Joaquin was the person in charge of Area Seven, and he had unfathomable strength. It was because he ruled Area Seven that he kept the country's borders safe by stopping many crimes from happening.

"I am sure you are not unfamiliar with her. She is Emma Rosenburg from the Rosenburg Family. She said that she wants my wife to go back to the Rosenburgs with her and marry the young master of the Brown Family. Mr. Walton, I am almost 30 years old. It wasn't easy for me to get a wife I love. Alas, it is my fault for being incompetent. Not only was I born into an ordinary family, I can't even protect my own wife as I watch her being taken away right in front of me. I can only ask you for help, Mr. Walton." Joaquin sighed, looking weak and helpless like he was being bullied.

His words were met with silence from the other end of the call for a long minute, and it sounded like something had fallen.

Emma was startled at first, but then she reacted and couldn't help sneering, "You are a joke, Joaquin Levisay. You think that you can make me believe your lies just by making a phone call to scare me? Let me tell you now that you can never! Katherine is a member of the Rosenburg Family, so she will definitely come back with me. It is up to me who the granddaughter of the Rosenburg Family will marry. If I say she has to marry the young master of the Brown family, she will marry the young master of the Brown family. But you are right about you being the one to blame because you were born in a family like the Foster Family with no influence and no backing. The Rosenburgs have Mr. Arthur Walton to support us!"

Dejected, Joaquin let out a long sigh again. "You heard that, Mr. Walton? It all boils down to me being incompetent."

The corners of Katherine's mouth immediately twitched, and she glanced at Joaquin silently. She never knew that he could act pretty decently!

"Emma Bennett! What the hell are you talking about?! Is Joahdy's wife someone your family can steal as you please?! I don't care what relationship you have with her. I am warning you. If you dare—"

"Bah! You are getting into your role, aren't you? Who the hell are you to be pretending to be Mr. Walton? You think I don't know him and can't recognize his voice? Do you really think you can easily fool me just because I am old? Dream on! Even if someone of importance is here today, I am bringing Katherine home with me! Let's see who dares to stop me!" Emma spat, cutting Arthur off.

Arthur was stunned after hearing that. This was the first time in his years of being alive that someone hadn't held back at chastising him.
