Outside the hospital ward, Katherine Cornell sat on a chair in the corridor. She raised her
eyes to look at the two aggressive people in front of her and proclaimed, "I can marry into
the Levisays, but I want to get my mother's assets back—"
"What? Assets? Katherine, who are you to state conditions?" A sharp female voice
interrupted her.
Katherine tilted her head and looked at her so-called 'stepmother'.
This woman forced her mother to die so that she could become the new Mrs. Cornell
before sending her and her grandmother abroad to fend for themselves.
After more than ten years, this woman dared to come and ask her to return to Cechirus to
marry one of the Levisays.
Katherine hid the hatred in her eyes, raised her hand and pushed her glasses up. "Aren't
you begging me now? If you think my conditions are too excessive, then we're done here."
The woman was annoyed. "Katherine, they are! What's more, this marriage was decided
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtby your mother and the Levisays!"
"Yes..." Katherine nodded and asked, "But do the Levisays acknowledge this marriage?"
The woman was immediately stunned and looked at the middle-aged man beside her.
"Kathy, the Levisays have always kept their promises, so how could they deny this
marriage?" Jorge Cornell spoke softly, breaking his silence.
Katherine interrupted him, "Dad, I heard that Joaquin Levisay has a problem with his legs.
He is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and there is no hope of him inheriting
the Levisay Group."
Katherine's eyes swept across their faces, and in an innocent tone, she said, "I know that
the Levisays put forward generous conditions for Joaquin to have children. They just want
to find a woman who can give him an heir."
"Madam Sutton, you don't want Rosemary to marry him, yet you want to curry favor with
the Levisays. That's why the two of you suddenly thought of me."
Jorge's face was burning hot, but his tone was gratifying. "In the past, your mother and
Mrs. Levisay were best friends—"
"Yeah." Katherine said, "If it weren't for Joaquin's disability, you would have stuffed
Rosemary into his arms."
Jorge suddenly became angry. "Katherine, is it appropriate for you to talk to me, your
father, in this manner?"
"Jorge, why are you arguing so much with her?" Lisa Sutton raised her voice. "It's her
honor to get married to Joaquin!"
"If it's such an honor, Madam Sutton, why don't you let Rosemary go and do so? Rosemary
will never let you down."
Anyway, it was not important to Katherine's future plans whether she married into that
family or not. After all, this was not the only way to get her mother's assets back.
She got up immediately and was about to leave when Jorge hurriedly stopped her, gritted

mother's stuff alone, so I can't remember all of it so clearly—"
Jorge pretended to be a loving father, but Katherine obviously did not appreciate it. "I'm
not discussing with you; I'm telling you."
She added bluntly, "The door is there, so you may leave."
Furrowing his eyebrows, Jorge gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree. I agree with you!
But you must marry Joaquin Levisay! I'll give you a day to pack up and come back with
me!"
It's as if he's afraid I would go against him. Katherine suppressed the sarcasm in her heart,
and when she turned around again, the ruthlessness she had had completely disappeared
as she smiled.
"Understood. Thank you, Dad. You're the best."
Jorge was speechless.
Anyway, it was not important to Katherine's future plans whether she married into that
