Chapter 193


    "What are you staring at? I didn''t pay so much money just for you to stand there like a backdrop! Get


    her out of here! Just beat ''em up if anyone refutes my orders! I don''t care if they''re dead!" Emma lost


    her patience.


    She had made a pact with Warden Brown that she would make sure Katherine was sent to his bed


    tonight. As a return, the Brown Family would give half of the profit of their most profitable project to the


    Rosenburgs.

    Despite their opulent facade, the Rosenburg Family was actually a hopeless mess. Jacob ran the


    business with integrity as he would rather minimize the profit just to keep his integrity business.


    Although thepany still formed partnerships with many customers in the long run, the money raked


    in was not enough to sustain the expenses of the Rosenburgs.


    Every time Emma enjoyed tea with her friends, jealousy grew in her whenever the other party showed


    off.


    Now that she had the opportunity to shore her family up to the top echelon, how could she possibly let


    it slip through her fingers?


    The project offered by the Brown Family worthed a staggering of billions of dors!


    The duo exchanged looks before removing their coats and tossed them onto the ground. "Sorry,


    granny. I''m afraid we can''t execute your orders. We''ll quit our job and exin everything to Mr.


    Rosenburg."


    They then made themselves scarce.


    It was not a joking matter as their legs trembled at the sheer sight of Joaquin. If they got into a fight,


    even ten of them would stand no chance against him. Furthermore, they were not deaf; although


    Emma was oblivious of who Joaquin gave a call to, the voice sounded familiar to them.


    They went to war back then, hence they were very familiar with Arthur''s voice.


    Staring at the running figures, Emma was so livid that her vision went pitch-ck and her body teetered


    as she almost fell into a swoon.


    Katherine did not even spare the old woman a nce. Instead, she faced the two bodyguards who


    already ran to the door. "Come back here and take her with you. This is not a dumping ground. We


    don''t ept trash here."


    How could they say ''no'' to her? They returned meekly and grabbed Emma to haul her out of the house.


    "Let go of me! Let me go! Katherine Cornell, how dare you?! I''m your grandmother. Your biological


    grandmother! That old woman is up to no good. She''s lying to you!" she roared while the men dragged


    her out.


    To her dismay, Katherine straight up closed the door and her voice could not be heard. Once the ''trash''


    was disposed of, Katherine looked at Jennifer with crossed arms. "Any exnations of what''s going on


    around here? Hmm?"


    Feeling guilty, Jennifer gazed at Joaquin with pleading eyes.


    However, he was helpless too. Now that Katherine was genuinely angry, he touched his nose and said,


    "Grandma, did something happen between Mom and Kathy back then? Why don''t you tell us about it?"


    Knowing that she could not keep them in the dark any longer, she sighed before recounting everything


    that had happened between Elsie and Joshua to Katherine honestly, "Kathy, it''s not that I didn''t wanna


    tell you. I thought I won''t have anything to do with the Rosenburg Family back then. That''s why! And I


    never expected them toe up to our doorstep. That old hag is one shameless woman!"


    "True. She is so brazen to have the guts to bully you!" Tiara nodded vigorously while putting in good


    words.


    "Yeah. Kathy, that shameless old hag. She scolded me!" Keith was vexed as well.


    Katherine nced at him. "Why are you here? Is there nothing to do at school? Didn''t you promise me


    that you''ll study hard?"


    "Kathy, I already miss you. And Grandma too." He hugged Jennifer''s arm in grievance as he stared at


    Katherine with puppy eyes.


    "You''ll get it from me once we return home." Her mind was in a mess, for she was aware that she could


    not be Joshua''s daughter.


    There was one thing Jennifer did not lie to Emma—Katherine''s birthdate. In other words, Elsie was


    pregnant with another man''s baby after leaving Joshua.


    The past hurt Katherine''s head. "Grandma, do you know who my mother went out with after that?"


    Jennifer shook her head with certainty. "She married your father not long after she left Kynd. Then,


    we had you."


    Seeing how assured Jennifer was, Katherine figured that something had happened to her mother after


    that, which Jennifer did not know of. Therefore, she stopped the inquiry.


    Since many things at home were ruined because of Emma, Katherine phoned Savannah to do


    something with the Rosenburg Family in order to remind Emma of her family''s ce.


    In the meantime, the two bodyguards were dragging Emma along down the stairs. Her mouth did not


    stop running in rage even after she entered the car. "What are you guys doing? Let me back in! If I


    don''t take Katherine with me, I won''t—"


    Before she could finish her words, her phone rang. The ire in her appeased once she realized that it


    was her son calling.


    Once the call was connected, Jacob''s incensed voice resounded. "Just when are you going to stop


    causing trouble? Isn''t it enough to have Joshua dead? Are you going to bring the whole family down


    before you stop?! Why did you offend Katherine? You even lost Mr. Walton''s favor! And we''re doomed


    now! Are you happy, huh?!"


    His reproval put her into a trance as it took her a while to respond, "W-What did you say? What do you


    mean by we''re doomed now? Jacob, are you joking? Why would we be done for? We have Mr. Walton


    with us! And Joshua has regained consciousness. Our family will only get better and be the true


    topdog. We''ll—"


    "Stop daydreaming already! Do you think Joshua will help you? Don''t you know why he took the shot


    for Mr. Walton back then? It''s because he lost the will to live! If it wasn''t for you, if you didn''t separate


    him from Diana and forced him to marry Mr. Walton''s daughter, he wouldn''t have done that. Mr. Walton


    has contacted me saying that he''ll never protect our family anymore. Oh, and what about the Brown


    Family? They can''t even fend for themselves! Once we get into trouble, they''ll be the first to fall! You''re


    on your own now!" He did not want to talk to her any longer as he terminated the call after yapping.


    Meanwhile, she sat right there with a pallid expression as though her strength was drained out.


    Are we really doomed? But why?
