Chapter 60
"What? Is it too little?"
Facing their angry gazes and refusal to ept the credit card, Katherine inquired innocently.
At that moment, she seemed very sincere without any ulterior motives, yet it was these very words that
landed the women in a very awkward position.
After entering the premises, Joaquin had been paying attention to where they stood, so he heard those
women''sments as well.
Taking another look at how Katherine was acting, he knew that she was protecting and standing up for
him.
He scoffed before pushing his wheelchair toward them and looked at the three women coldly. "Did you
not understand my fiancé''s words?"
"M-Mr. Levisay…"
Even though the three still managed to keep theirposure in front of Katherine, they were
instinctively scared when facing Joaquin.
After all, he had a very bad reputation in the past for being a cruel person with twisted tendencies. Now
that he was disfigured and disabled, they feared that his mind might have only be more
psychopathic.
They then hurriedly took the credit card from Katherine and were about to leave when the man added,
"Remove your clothes."
"Kathy, Joaquin, no matter what, it''s Dad''s birthday today. Could you, for my sake…"
Just as the situation was getting heated, Rosemary walked over with Robert. Seeing how it was almost
about to explode, she quickly tried to interfere and mediate.
"Your words don''t mean anything to me." Joaquin looked at her nonchntly before looking at his
brother.
This made Rosemary''s face go pale.
Robert then spoke in a gentle manner, "Joaquin, why make it so hard on thesedies? It would stain
your reputation if word got out too."
"Why, you say? Because I can." Joaquin satzily on his wheelchair and nodded with arrogance, which
matched the twisted desires of a man that came off disfigured and disabled from a recent car ident.
Katherine, who looked at him silently, found that it was such a waste of talent for the man to not pursue
acting.
"What happened? Why is everyone crowding around here?"
Jorge and Hera came in while chatting along happily. Seeing how their children were all gathered here,
they came over out of curiosity.
"Madam Levisay, my sister doesn''t really know proper etiquette, so please don''t get angry. She did not
do this on purpose."
Hearing this, Rosemary quickly went up and grabbed onto Hera''s hand while exining on behalf of
Katherine.
This made Katherine reveal a slight smirk and looked at Hera innocently. "Mom, you''vee at the
right time. I just happened to twist my ankle and spilled the wine on them, but I''ve already reimbursed
them by paying them a million and buying their dresses. Did I do anything wrong by wanting them to
take the dresses off since they''re my property now?"
While saying all this, she became teary-eyed, looking at if she was wronged.
Feeling the corner of her mouth twitch, Hera nced at the three angry women then at Katherine
again. By now, a lot of attention was ced on them, so she knew that she could not just help the
outsiders.
While silently cursing Katherine for a knack to cause trouble, she still maintained a smile on the
surface. "Yup, Kathy is right. Since she forked money for it, it should belong to her now. So, it''s up to
her to deal with this however she sees fit. Now that you three epted the money, take off your clothes
and give it to her.
The trio felt their faces go red, as the tables had turned on them. At that moment, the card in their
hands was like a hard p that made them dizzy.
"Kathy, just let this go. They are all women. It would be very inappropriate to force them to undress in
front of the guests," Rosemary suggested.
Understanding what she was trying to hint at, Katherine thought about it and decided to concede for the
sake of Rosemary''s pride, so she nodded. "Since my sister pleaded on you people''s behalf, go upstairs
and get changed."
Finally, the trio went upstairs shamefully to change.
"Madam Levisay, please don''t me my sister for this. She lost her mother at a young age, so nobody
was there to discipline her. That''s why she can be so rude and persistent. She''s still a kind person at
heart, though." Rosemary sighed and looked at Katherine before whispering into Hera''s ear, seemingly
standing up for her.
Yet, being the sly old fox that Hera was, how could she not know what Rosemary was trying to
achieve? She simply did not care enough to expose her tricks.
"Thank you for standing up for me, Future Mrs. Levisay."
As Hera and Jorge walked away, the crowd dispersed with Joaquin looking at Katherine in a mocking
undertone.
Smiling brightly, she walked up to him and blinked before speaking in a serious tone, "If you really want
to show your gratitude, then repay me the money for the dresses. It''s a million. I''m poor."
Joaquin''s mouth twitched.
"I''ll give you the money when I have it." He could sense how close Katherine''s face was and almost felt
her breath. Although he stayed emotionless, one could see that the tips of his ears were turning red.
"Tsk, tsk. The young master of the Levisays is so poor that he doesn''t even have a million. How pitiful,"
Katherinemented.
"Yes. Since I''m disabled now, I can''t really work," Joaquin replied straightforwardly and went along with
her.
The answer took her by surprise as she looked at how serious Joaquin was. He doesn''t look like he''s
joking.
Rolling her eyes, she stated, "Whatever. I''m hungry, so I''m going to eat now."
Katherine then left Joaquin alone before excusing herself in a hurry.
Looking at her silhouette, Joaquin gradually smirked without realizing that he was smiling.
The banquet officiallymenced at 8.00PM as the host began his speech onstage while the crowd
gathered along with ss wine in their hands.
Jorge, who was wearing a custom ck suit, was smiling and stood by the side.
It was then Katherine purposely bumped into Rosemary lightly before walking away nonchntly.
Hesitating for a split second, Rosemary decided to go after her.
"Are you looking for me, Katherine?"
The two entered the bathroom. After Katherine looked outside to make sure nobody was near them,
she spoke in an unfriendly tone, "Do you think you can be Mrs. Levisay by doing this? Rosemary,
aren''t you being too naive?" Katherine looked at her, thinking that without Lisa to strategize, she was
truly dumb.
As expected, Katherine''s words instantly changed Rosemary''s expression before she asked in a low
tone, "What do you want? Do you have a n to make me into Robert''s wife? Katherine, you just drove
my mother insane, and now you want to deceive me? I won''t believe you."
"It''s up to you whether you wanna believe me or not. There''s only one chance, Rosemary, and it''s the
perfect opportunity. I can guarantee that Robert will have to marry you, unless he wants to forfeit the
right to inherit the family. If you don''t believe me, you can leave right now."
Katherine remained calm as if she could not care less.
Her expression made Rosemary hesitate as she looked at the outstanding man in the crowd not far
away. Due to her absence, a lot of women had already thrown themselves at him.
Not only did she want to get married to Robert, she also wanted to be the madam of the Levisays.
Although she knew that Katherine might have ulterior motives, how could she not ept as long as
she could achieve her goals?
When I be the madam of the Levisays, there''ll be plenty of chances to get rid of Katherine
anyway!
"Okay. Tell me, then. What do I need to do?"
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
After giving it some thought, Rosemary agreed in the end.
Smiling, Katherine approached her and slotted a little pouch into her hand. "It''s easy. Just make it so
that it''s a done deal. It''s Dad''s birthday today. With so many influential people from around town, if you
do the deed with Robert, then his only choice is to marry you."
