Chapter 113
"Mom, Katherine is so scary if she was really behind the Cornell Group's bankruptcy. It hasn't been
long since she came back, after all. How cunning she is!" Rosemary appeared to be terrified after she
helped Lisa walk back into her room.
"Hmph! Who else could it be if it wasn't her who was responsible for all the chaos? The Cornell Group
was fine until she came back. So, if you ask me, I doubt she has nothing to do with all the trouble and
problems that subsequently arose from the company!" Lisa was seen with hatred written on her face
when she heard Katherine's name. In fact, she was even tempted to kill Katherine deep down if the
latter was standing right before her. That b*tch caused me to lose an arm! She is going to pay for the
dark days that I spent in the mental asylum in North Peak.
"What are we going to do, Mom?" I…" Rosemary expressed her concern, knowing clearly that she was
no match for Katherine as she had seen what she was capable of.
"You mustn't just let it slide about your wedding with Robert. We're going to pay the Levisay Family a
visit in a few more days, and if Robert won't marry you, we're going to make sure the whole world
knows about it to embarrass them. After all, you can only hope to match Katherine by marrying into the
Levisay Family; otherwise, we don't stand a chance against her at all!" Lisa replaced the hatred in her
eyes with benevolence and love when she looked at her beloved daughter.
"I heard you, Mom." Rosemary nodded, feeling more secure and confident with Lisa's return. As the
mother and daughter continued to chat for a few moments, Lisa proceeded to go to bed, whereupon
Rosemary exited her bedroom.

Meanwhile, Tessa and London were worried shortly after leaving Hebert's ward. At the same time,
Tessa appeared depressed herself, especially when she thought that her days were numbered.
"London, do you think that genius doctor will agree to save me?" Tessa held London's hand tightly like
her life depended on it. In fact, she grabbed London's hands so tightly that her grip was beginning to
hurt her daughter.
"Mom, we don't even know her name." London realized her mother looked as if she had been
enchanted, finding it hard to believe that Katherine, who was younger than she was, was more capable
than her. If that young lady could cure late-stage breast cancer, she is going to be no different from a
god.
"Isn't Mr. Muller really close with her? Maybe he could help us. Let me ask for help from him." Tessa
spared no thought about how she treated Katherine harshly earlier as she quickly left the hospital with
her daughter, whereupon they both made their way to Theodore's home.
"To what do I owe you the pleasure?" When Theodore saw Tessa appearing at his doorstep, he could
immediately tell that she was there because she wanted Katherine's help. However, he wasn't happy
with her visit, despising her for having treated Katherine harshly earlier.
"Mr. Muller, I'd like to ask you about that lady who helped treat my husband earlier. Do you mind telling
her name?" Tessa sensed Theodore's dissatisfaction as she asked Theodore for Katherine's help in
embarrassment.
"You know what? I think that is none of your concern, Mrs. Leigh," Theodore replied with an unfriendly
tone.
In the meantime, Tessa's face darkened in response to Theodore's unpleasant reply, but when she
thought about her illness, she restrained her anger and forced a brittle smile on her face. "Mr. Muller, I
know it was my fault for being rude back in the hospital. For that, I apologize for my foolishness and
impudence, but also, I wonder if it would be possible for you to arrange a meet-up between me and that
genius doctor. I promise I'll never disrespect her again. In fact, I'm going to sincerely make an apology
to her."
"Mrs. Leigh, you were the one who chased her away. Do you remember that?" Theodore decided to
remind Tessa of what she had done earlier. Needless to say, Tessa was utterly humiliated upon hearing
Theodore's words.
"Mr. Muller, I…"
As Tessa was about to explain herself, Theodore interrupted the lady's words impatiently and said, "I
still have some business to attend to, so if there is nothing else important, I'd like to be left alone.
Please leave."
"Mr. Muller…" Tessa gave Theodore a sympathetic look, but her eyes were only met by his cold gaze.
Because of that, she couldn't bring herself to speak her mind, her words stuck in her throat. Not long
after that, Tessa reluctantly left the place just as Theodore decided that he should give Katherine a call.
On the other hand, Katherine, who just happened to wake up from her sleep, was sitting in front of her
computer while browsing through some news article until she was interrupted by her ringing phone.
"Hello, Mr. Muller. What's up?"
"The Leigh Family has a wide network of connections, so I think it won't take them long before they
finally discover your secret. I'm worried that they may come after you for trouble, so I figured it was
better for me to give you a heads-up beforehand." Theodore went on to tell Katherine about Tessa's
visit and reminded her to be careful.
"Thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Muller. Let her come if that's what is meant to happen." Katherine
appeared unconcerned as she proceeded to talk to Theodore about work before hanging up the call.
With the help of her vast connections, Tessa was able to discover some useful information about
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKatherine's identity since it wasn't really a huge secret. Therefore, it didn't take her too long until she
finally got her hands on Katherine's biographical profile, but nonetheless, there weren't many details
about her profile as it wasn't mentioned that she was a doctor at all.
"Oh, so she is from the Cornell Family. London, please make the arrangements. We're going to pay the
Cornell Family a visit." Tessa curled her lips coldly while skimming through the information she found
about the Cornell Family. When she read about the part where the Cornell Family went bankrupt
because they messed with the wrong enemy, she smiled even more gleefully.
Two hours later, Tessa arrived at the Cornell Residence and rang the doorbell. As soon as the gate
opened, her car moved into the manor's front porch. The next moment, Tessa stepped out of the car,
fixing her gaze on the manor in front of her with disdain and disgust. I can't believe that a young lady
like Katherine can match the Leigh Family. She is just nothing but a nobody from a poor family. At the
thought of that, the lady jutted her chin and walked right through the door arrogantly.
When the Cornell Family's butler saw Tessa, he couldn't help but feel surprised and puzzled. Leading
the way, he asked, "Who are you looking for, Miss?"
"I'm here for Katherine Cornell," Tessa responded insolently.
As soon as the butler heard her words, his face changed. At the same time, he could tell that Tessa
didn't visit the Cornell Family with good intent as he brought the lady to the living room, whereupon he
excused himself to tip Katherine off about Tessa's arrival.
Seeing Tessa walk right through the door, Jorge asked in confusion, "Who might you be?"
"I'm Mrs. Leigh, and I'm here to see your daughter, your older daughter." Tessa sat down on the couch
gracefully, gazing at Jorge like an empress looking at her slave.
"You mean Kathy?" Jorge knitted his eyebrows, trying to draw a line between him and Katherine. "Well,
if Kathy is whom you're looking for, I suppose you have come to the wrong place. She is not home at
the moment. However, you may take your chances at the Levisay Residence."
"The Levisay Residence?"
