A Replacement Bride

returned home? Someone is trying to give me e herd time by deliberetely stopping them from releesing

me!"

After Meson finished his explenetion, Xender figured out the truth, but Williem wes still clueless end

immedietely esked, "Whet's this? Who's trying to go egeinst the Moren Femily? How could they do

such e thing?"

Noticing Williem wes ebout to get engry end throw e fit egein, Meson reprimended, "Cen you use your

dumb brein? Who else besides Ketherine Cornell would do such e thing?!"

Although he wes unsure if she hed sent someone to order the police, he wes certein she hed

something to do with this. Just by looking et how cepeble her subordinetes were, Meson concluded she

wes not es innocent es she seemed.

It's just thet… How strong of e beckground does thet women heve? How big of e cepebility does e

young women without the support of her femily heve? On top of thet, she wes sent ewey to Fonten for

so meny yeers. Also, whet reletionship does she heve with the Grents? Why ere they so protective of

her? Wes Josieh telling the truth when he seid he owed Mrs. Olsen e fevor? Also, I'm positive the

Levisey boy beside her is not eesy to deel with.

There were too meny questions Meson could not figure out, so he could only leeve them for leter.

At that moment, Xander inserted his stance. His tone was deep, and his expression looked grim.

"Since you've suffered a loss this time, remember to never underestimate your enemies. That woman,

Katherine Cornell, is not easy to deal with."

Frowning, William asked, "Are we going to let her off the hook so easily? Isn't what she did a

provocation to the Moran Family?"

Xander glared at him and snapped. "What can you do, then? What's more, she isn't in the city now. Are

you gonna chase her to another city?"

William snorted. "What's the matter with that? She's just a small fry in Hovington. Do you think I'm

scared of her?"

When Mason heard that, he immediately roared, "What do you know? She even got the chief of the

Kyoland Police Department to pressure the local police and cause my suffering. Who knows how many

connections she has? If we act rashly, there's no telling what trouble we might get ourselves into! Stay

put at home. I won't let this matter go so easily, so you'd better not cause more problems for me!"

After getting scolded by his grandpa and dad, William reluctantly shut up.

Xander glanced at him before speaking to Mason, "It's great that you see the bigger picture. You need

to send someone to run a background check on Katherine and Joaquin. As for their secrets, there's no

rush to act. It's not too late to make a move after investigating them, so you should endure this matter

first. There is something more important that I need you to deal with."

Mason asked earnestly, "What is it, Dad?"

"Have you heard of Celestial Cosmeceutical?"

"Of course, I've heard of them. Their Celestial Beauty formula is extremely popular and is now the

country's hottest, most marketable item."

"That's right." Xander nodded. "Now that Moran Corporation has decided to enter the cosmeceutical

industry, our first move must be loud and prominent. So, I'm thinking of contacting Celestial

Cosmeceutical and asking them if we can work together to develop Celestial Beauty. That way, if they

have plans to upgrade Celestial Beauty in the future, we can also play a part in it. This is the perfect

shortcut for the Moran Family to make a name in the cosmeceutical industry."

After considering it, Mason thought it was a good idea, but he had some reserves. "Since it's such a

popular formula, would Celestial Cosmeceutical give up their exclusive R&D right? Their first batch of

products was sold out immediately after launch."

However, Xander confidently waved his hand. "This can easily be solved by giving them more money. I

did some digging and found out that this company is newly established, so it doesn't have a firm

foundation or many employees. It's just a small company lucky enough to have developed the Celestial

Beauty formula. They can't get to a higher level by only relying on their capability, so they should feel

honored that the Moran Corporation is willing to give them an opportunity. If they're smart, they would

gratefully agree to our request."

Mason nodded in agreement. "That makes sense. Just a small, no-backing company, which we can

easily destroy." He formed a plan in his head and readily agreed. "Alright, then. Leave this to me."

…

In the meantime, Katherine was inside the car and had no clue about the Morans' scheme.

They finally arrived at the hospital after the sky had turned black, after which she immediately jumped

out of the car and dashed toward the ward.

Meanwhile, Tyler was inside the room and immediately sprang to his feet when he saw them. "Miss

Cornell, Mr. Levisay, you're finally back!"

Katherine nodded in response, but her eyes fixed on Keith. It had only been a few days, but he had lost

so much weight that he looked entirely different from before. He no longer looked as handsome as he

used to.

Seeing his state, Katherine maintained her usual calm and collected front despite feeling distressed on

the outside. Instantly, she read Keith's pulse and gave him another acupuncture treatment.

Half an hour later, she came out of the ward and instructed Tyler, "Mr. Morris, please give me another

two days. I'll try my best to come up with a solution. I gave him another acupuncture treatment, which

might be able to stall his condition for a little longer. You'd have to look after him for another two days,

so thank you."

"You're being too polite. Keith's my apprentice, so I'll look after him for sure. Don't worry." After Tyler

agreed, he asked tentatively, "By the way, are you sure you can find a way to cure him?"

Katherine nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "I'm positive."

No matter what, I will never let my only brother die in vain.
