A Replacement Bride

Chapter 358

"As long as she is included in the family genealogy of the Levisays, she will be a legitimate heir of the family. From now on, she is no longer an illegitimate child with no biological father. Katherine, this is a hard-won blessing for Noah. It's wonderful that you no longer have to worry about her identity being questioned." She smiled as if she truly cared about Noah.

Katherine grinned at the thought of Noah not being able to move out. Pfft! Entering the family genealogy of the Levisays, eh? This family has given all in just to win W Co.'s cooperation.

Immediately, she scoffed. "It seems like you're being very thoughtful. However, it's a pity that Noah doesn't bother about such useless things as the Levisays' genealogy."

"You! You'd better not be this arrogant!" Elizabeth couldn't help but bellow when she heard that.

Meanwhile, Hera's expression became a little tense. "What are you talking about? It is her blessing to be a part of the Levisay Family without even knowing who her biological father is!"

"She doesn't need this blessing. You should save it for your children," Katherine replied slowly as she lifted her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears.

Bang!

Elizabeth could no longer bear it. She flung the teacup to the ground, causing the tea to splash out from the porcelain cup, making a muffled sound as it fell onto the carpet.

"Very well! From what I see, you don't know how to be grateful!" As she spoke, she turned to Joaquin and began blaming him. "This is the woman you brought into the family! Never forget that you are from

the Levisays too! She's disrespecting the elders and relatives of the family, yet you don't have a single reaction at all. Are you deaf or mute?"

At that moment, Hera couldn't help but join in and said sarcastically, "Exactly! In any case, even if she is no longer fond of the Levisays, her kid is inherently your daughter since she's married to you. What's wrong with us letting Noah into our genealogy? She shows such reluctance that I think there's something behind it. Joaquin, is your wife unsatisfied with us, or is she having second thoughts about you? Even if she doesn't accept the offer out of respect for us, she should accept it for your sake! You have to be vigilant and don't let this woman fool you!"

The corners of Katherine's mouth twitched as she heard those words. It seemed that these idiots of the Levisay Family didn't have the slightest idea on how to sow discord.

Meanwhile, Joaquin's brows furrowed deeply as annoyance covered his perfectly crafted face. "I know my woman best. I disagree with the choice just as much as she does! Don't think I don't know what's going on. You guys always take advantage and play your schemes. We know in our hearts what you all intend to do with Noah."

"You… black sheep!" Elizabeth ran out of breath, wishing she could rush over and beat him with her cane.

At this moment, Katherine suddenly took out her mobile phone and called Owen Barber in front of them.

"Notify the public relations department and issue an official statement that W Co. does not plan to cooperate with Levisay Group from now on."

After she relayed her instructions curtly, she hung up the phone and smirked at the two women who were in shock.

"I almost forgot that there's some unfounded news that I have to disprove. I won't be bothering Dad with such a small issue since it only requires one statement from me."

Hera instantly gazed at her furiously after losing all remaining patience with her. "What are you doing? Do you feel wronged if the Levisay Group collaborates with the W Co.?"

Elizabeth bellowed, "You should think about the Levisay Family's best interests because you are our daughter-in-law. You must let the W Co. work with the Levisay Group! Putting aside the fact that you constantly go against the elders of the family, you even dare to let your employee disprove the allegations. Aren't you just embarrassing us on purpose? What about our reputation? Do you think you can be excluded if we become the butt of every joke?"

"Of course, she can!" Suddenly, Joaquin raised his cold voice.

"She is not sold to me or the Levisay Family; she is wedded to me! It is her freedom to do anything she wants, and all of her decisions fully represent her only. What does it have to do with the Levisay Family? Likewise, if the Levisays are having issues, it has nothing to do with her too! As for your so- called reputation, it makes no difference how the family's reputation turns out; it would have no bearing on hers. She is my woman and the high-ranking president of W Co., so who would dare speak poorly about her?"

Those words were so intense that not only the two members of the Levisay Family but even Katherine felt slightly dazed as they looked at him.

Unconsciously, the depths of her heart began pounding, and a strange sensation began to rise when she glanced at the sharp-edged, gorgeous features of his side profile.

It wasn't until Hera's sharp and piercing voice that her wandering thoughts were drawn back. "You, all of you—it seems like you want to do it the hard way!"

Her eyes were filled with rage, empty of the hypocritical smile she had previously.

"I must warn you, Katherine. If you obediently allow W Co. and the Levisay Group to work together, we may still live in peace as a family. As for your daughter with an unknown identity, I can still allow her into the family! Otherwise, don't even consider taking her away!"

Watching how she shed all previous pretense of cordiality, Katherine turned hostile as well. She straightened up her slender and tall body, emitting an icy aura from her.

"It's much more natural now that you have ripped off your disgusting act of cordiality, revealing the hideous side hiding underneath," she said mockingly, and her clear, crystal-like pupils were so cold that they could pierce through bones. "However, it's not up to you to decide whether I can take Noah or not."

As she spoke, she turned around to look at Mrs. Jaco sharply. "For the last time, get out of the way!"

Mrs. Jaco was somewhat frightened by her glare, and her heart pounded uncontrollably. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her gaze went past Katherine as she looked at Hera. However, upon catching sight of the woman's fierce gaze, she regained her composure and stood still in place.

Besides disobeying Katherine, she also became impolite after watching how they were no longer acting cordially. "Mrs. Levisay, I'd advise you to listen to Madam. You have to think of Noah even if you don't consider yourself. It's a blessing for her to be able to enter the Levisays' genealogy. The family is gracious enough to accept her even though she doesn't have a father or share the same bloodline. After all, we might be a joke to others if we have a kid who doesn't even know who her father is! You should be glad and thankful that the Levisay Family is willing to accept such an illegitimate child—ah!"
