Chapter 191
"Sir?!" Katherine intentionally exclaimed in surprise.
This time, Josiah couldn't maintain his usual indifference. Expression dark, he stood up with anger in
his amber eyes. When he heard Katherine calling out to him, he only threw her a glance before
uttering, "It is getting late. Please go back."
After saying that, he ignored Katherine and Joaquin before he unhesitantly left.
Katherine thoughtfully looked at his retreating figure and when her eyes fell on the coffee table, she
saw a bit of his blood on the broken teacup.
She stayed still for a second before she took a tissue from her pocket, carefully wrapped the teacup,
and put it in her pocket.
Joaquin was full of questions when he saw her actions, but he didn't ask about it.
They continued to sit there for a moment before they got up and left the church.
At the same time, Josiah had entered a room as he held a pocket watch with a photo on it in his hand.
The beaming woman in the photo had eyes filled with happiness.
He stroked the woman's face with his fingers, and only asked softly after a long second had passed,
"Elsie, why did you lie to me back then? Why didn't you come with me? If only you knew how much I
have missed you everyday all these years."
The couple took a shorter time to get down from than get up to the hill. The sky was still bright by the
time they got to the foot of the hill.
While sitting in the passenger seat, Katherine kept her eyes closed as she thought about Josiah's
reaction earlier. Seeing her deep in her musings, Joaquin slowly drove them away from there in fear of
breaking her concentration.

her pocket and set it aside when she realized that they were already on the highway. "Tell Ben to help
me do a paternity test."
"For you and Mr. Grant?" Joaquin looked at her in confusion, in which Katherine nodded.
"His reaction earlier was odd. Also, I already knew five years ago that I am not Jorge's daughter."
"Alright. I will let Ben know." Joaquin's eyes fell on the tissue wrapping the porcelain pieces, seemingly
in a trance.
So Katherine is the daughter of the Grant Family? he thought. If that is so, doesn't this mean that she is
of noble birth?
The Grant Family was the one who truly stood at the top of the pyramid. As for Josiah, he was
supposed to be the heir of the family. However, he had abruptly left the family 20 years ago for reasons
unknown, only to send a three-year-old boy back to them. He had told them that the boy was the heir of
the Grant Family that he had found for them.
The Grants' initial reaction was shock and rejection, but the boy had won them over by displaying
maturity and intelligence that three-year-olds shouldn't have. He had then become the youngest head-
of-household in the history of the Grant Family.
It was unprecedented for a three-year-old to be the head of household, and yet Kian had managed to
pull it off.
He had thoroughly made the Grant Family through his own hard work. He might have been able to do
more if it weren't for his poor health since birth and the fortune that deemed it impossible for him to live
past the age of 25 years old.
Joaquin had had the chance to have dealings with Kian. Even a man as proud as Joaquin was full of
respect and admiration for Kian. However, Joaquin would never have expected that Kian might be
Katherine's older brother and in other words, his brother-in-law…
At that, Joaquin couldn't help thinking how the world was indeed small.
It was getting dark when the two returned to the city. Joaquin first sent the blood sample to Ben's clinic
and instructed him to do a paternity test as quickly as possible, and then returned to Soulin
International with Katherine.
They had just opened the door after reaching the 18th floor when Katherine realized something was
wrong.
Not only were the doors of both houses open, there was a constant noise coming from inside.
Heart skipping a beat, Katherine quickly walked into her house, only to find what a mess the place was
in. She could still hear Jennifer's angry roar.
She immediately walked to the living room with her face dark, and as expected, Jennifer was sitting
there flushed with anger.
Beside her were an emotionless Keith and a fuming Tiara.
Seeing that Katherine had returned, Tiara abruptly stood up and ran over to grab Katherine's hand. She
was visibly upset when she began to complain, "My dear sister-in-law, I am so glad you are back! That
old woman suddenly ran into the house and said that you are the granddaughter of the Rosenburgs,
and she wants you to go back to them with her so that you can marry that useless young master of the
Brown Family. Don't you think she is annoying? She is being too much!"
Katherine was slightly startled when she heard the words. With a frown on her face, she looked at the
'old woman' Tiara was talking about. Isn't that Mrs. Emma Rosenburg who I met just a while ago? she
thought as she looked at Emma's face.
Emma was about to blow her top any time now. After glaring at Tiara, she proudly mocked, "What
nonsense are you spouting, you silly girl? Why are you calling her your sister-in-law? She is not your
sister-in-law! Who the hell are the Fosters even? You are nothing compared to the Rosenburgs! The
Brown Family is one of the largest families in the capital! It is Katherine's luck to be able to marry
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYoung Master Brown!"
Being able to ride the Brown Family's coattails was probably due to the good karma the Rosenburg
Family had accumulated over generations.
The Brown Family was now in their prime but unlike them, the Rosenburgs were getting worse day
after day. The Rosenburg Family were bound to meet their demise if the situation persisted.
However, Jacob Rosenburg didn't seem to care at all. He even thought that Emma was delusional, and
was stirring things up for no reason.
After being promised by the Browns, Emma could no longer hold back, and had stomped to Katherine's
house with some muscles in tow in order to drag Katherine back with her.
"Bullsh*t! Kathy is my granddaughter! She has nothing to do with the Rosenburgs! No means no. Don't
blame me for not holding back if you continue yapping away here!" Jennifer was so enraged she
started cursing.
Of course, Emma wouldn't take Jennifer's attitude lying down. Her face was flushed when she stood up
and looked at Jennifer and chortled, "You old bag! Your daughter slept with my son, had his child, and
even wanted to marry into my family no matter what. Who could the child possibly belong to, if not the
Rosenburgs?! Don't give me that crap about how the age doesn't match. You can fake ages! She
definitely is the Rosenburgs' granddaughter! I am taking her with me no matter what! Try stopping me
again, you old woman, and I won't go easy on you no more! No one can stop me—"
As Katherine listened to the arrogant words Emma spat, the former's beautiful face gradually turned
cold before she calmly interrupted Emma, "Mrs. Rosenburg, you seem to have forgotten one thing."
Hearing that, Emma looked at her in confusion. "What did I forget?"
"You have no say in whether or not I am related to the Rosenburgs. I have to be the one to admit it.
Also, with how the Rosenburgs are now, you have no right to tell me what to do. I want you to get out of
my house right this instant. Or else, don't blame me for disrespecting my elders."
