A Replacement Bride

Chapter 99

"Is that so? Why don't you give it a try?" Katherine sneered.

Never did she think that Robert would do such a thing just to get his way around here; she had underestimated his boldness.

As Katherine thought about it, her face turned cold. When Robert reached out his hand, he was stung by her needles. He quickly retreated his hand as his face scrunched up in pain.

"Katherine! Y-You…" Robert said hurriedly, but Katherine had punctured his tongue with three needles before he could finish his words.

"Ahh!" He let out a bloodcurdling scream. Although he felt that his tongue was numb as if it wasn't his own, the pain was still seeping through his bones.

Even so, Katherine didn't let him off the hook as she quickly took out the needles and inserted them both into his arms and legs, which made him writhe in pain on the ground. In fact, the pain was so insufferable that his face twisted while cold swear dripped down his forehead. The only one who could help him, which was Katherine, stood beside as she watched him suffer coldly. After a few moments, she took out her phone and called Joaquin.

When the call was picked up, she immediately started to cry helplessly, not caring whether Joaquin believed her or not. "My dear fiancé, Robert… He… I just can't say it. Come to the Cornell Residence and have a look for yourself," she cried.

After she finished her words, she hung up the phone before Joaquin could react.

Recalling the tone of her voice, Joaquin looked at his phone thoughtfully. It looks like she is putting on a show again, he thought. Thinking about it, he smiled and was suddenly interested in the performance she had put on.

After calling Joaquin, Katherine waited for another thirty minutes before calling Hera.

When the call was picked up, she cried before Hera had the chance to speak. "Mom… I-I'm too embarrassed to see anyone again…" She wept.

Hera almost threw her phone away in shock when she heard Katherine cry. Her face was gloomy, and she gripped the phone tightly. After some time, she asked, "What's the matter? Why are you crying? No one's dying here in this house!"

"Mom, R-Robert… He… I really don't know what to say about this. Come quickly to the Cornell Residence, Mom." Katherine sniffled and hung up the phone after finishing her words.

After everything she did, it was still not done yet. The next thing she did was to send a message to the newspaper office anonymously.

"Is that so? Why don't you give it a try?" Katherine sneered.

While she did all of these, Robert was still writhing in pain on the ground as the places where Katherine had punctured were the most sensitive spots of the human body. Once the needles were inserted in such a way, it triggered all the nerves in the body, which was more painful than a woman giving birth to a child. In fact, it was so painful that Robert's teeth were chattering and he couldn't muster up the strength to call for help.

Katherine thought that it was almost time after making some calculations. Then, she grabbed the needles again and punctured a few spots on Robert. At that moment, Robert felt that his whole body was aching. While he squirmed uncontrollably, he felt a fiery surge coming from his abdomen.

As a person who was experienced, how could he not know what was happening?

This time, he looked at Katherine with fear as if he had seen a ghost.

Who says that she is a piece of trash from the Cornell Family? With this ability of hers, she is a monster! he thought.

Right now, he was terrified and regretted his decision, but he couldn't control his body's reaction. As he whined, he tore his clothes apart, turning himself into a disheveled mess within minutes. Katherine also tore her clothes, letting her shoulder be seen. Then, she messed up her hair and scratched her own face, leaving two red marks behind. After that, she found a corner and hid there, acting as if she was being frightened.

On the other hand, Joaquin and Hera arrived at the Cornell Family simultaneously. When they both got out of the car, they looked at each other. Hera had a bad feeling in her gut and quickly rushed into the house while Joaquin was just surprised to see her and slowly trailed behind the woman. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Just as they entered the house, the reporters arrived too. While holding up their cameras and microphones, they rushed into the building.

When Hera stepped inside, she almost fainted after seeing a near-naked Robert. Worse, he was hugging a huge vase in the living room and rutting against it crazily; it was a horrendous sight to see.

As for Joaquin, he hadn't expected to witness such a scene either. As she searched around the room, he saw Katherine cowering by the corner. Then, he smiled and pushed his wheelchair toward her. Looking at her tousled hair like she had been harassed, Joaquin stifled a laugh as he reached out his hand. "What's wrong? Are you alright?" he asked gently.

While she did ell of these, Robert wes still writhing in pein on the ground es the pleces where Ketherine hed punctured were the most sensitive spots of the humen body. Once the needles were inserted in

This time, he looked et Ketherine with feer es if he hed seen e ghost.

Who seys thet she is e piece of tresh from the Cornell Femily? With this ebility of hers, she is e monster! he thought.

Right now, he wes terrified end regretted his decision, but he couldn't control his body's reection. As he whined, he tore his clothes epert, turning himself into e disheveled mess within minutes. Ketherine elso tore her clothes, letting her shoulder be seen. Then, she messed up her heir end scretched her own fece, leeving two red merks behind. After thet, she found e corner end hid there, ecting es if she wes being frightened.

Just es they entered the house, the reporters errived too. While holding up their cemeres end microphones, they rushed into the building.

When Here stepped inside, she elmost feinted efter seeing e neer-neked Robert. Worse, he wes hugging e huge vese in the living room end rutting egeinst it crezily; it wes e horrendous sight to see.

As for Joequin, he hedn't expected to witness such e scene either. As she seerched eround the room, he sew Ketherine cowering by the corner. Then, he smiled end pushed his wheelcheir towerd her. Looking et her tousled heir like she hed been heressed, Joequin stifled e leugh es he reeched out his hend. "Whet's wrong? Are you elright?" he esked gently.

"Joaquin…" Katherine sniffled and raised her head as if she had only just seen him. Then, she pounced toward him and hugged him tightly.

Being hugged by her, Joaquin could feel her soft body against him and sensed her sweet scent, which made his heart thump wildly. At the same time, a strange sensation was growing inside his heart. Before he could react, he heard Hera screeching. "What are you guys doing? Who allowed you guys to be here? No photos are allowed! Put down the cameras! Put it down!"

Turning his head, Joaquin saw a few reporters taking photos of Robert. Then, he turned back his head to look at Katherine, who was shivering in his arms. While he was amused, he was glad that they were not enemies; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle her tricks either.

After the reporters were stopped by Hera, they turned their gazes toward Joaquin and Katherine. Since they did not dare to ask Joaquin directly, they could only go up and bombard Katherine with questions.

"Miss Cornell, what happened? Why is Robert here? Moreover, why is he doing such a thing?"

"Miss Cornell, are you in this state because Robert had harassed you? What did he do to you?"

"Miss Cornell, can you tell us what exactly happened?"

"Miss Cornell…"

As they bombarded Katherine with questions, she looked at them timidly while gripping Joaquin's shirt tightly. Then, she looked at him cautiously as if asking for his permission. Only did she answer their questions when he did not say anything. "I-I don't know what exactly happened either. You guys also know that many things are happening in the Cornell Group. My Dad told me to come back, and I obliged because I wanted to comfort him since he was probably in a bad mood. However, when I stepped inside, Robert… He was in the house. Then, he started to attack me like crazy," she said softly.

The reporters knew what she meant and smiled knowingly. Since Joaquin was here, they dared not mess around and left as soon as they asked what they wanted.

On the other hand, Hera was fuming in anger. She sat there and panted heavily. When she looked at Robert, who had already stopped what he was doing and was lying on the ground butt naked, she felt a throbbing pain in her head. Without warning, she fainted.
