A Replacement Bride

As for abroad, especially in the region of Swania, it wouldn't be an understatement to say that the Miller

Family had an entire business empire. Their family alone had dominated 80% of the entire Swanian

region economy.

Fifteen minutes had passed since Savannah obtained detailed information about the Miller Family.

Then, as she could feel the urgency behind her orders, she immediately rushed to the public relations

department with the information and placed it before her colleague, Nathan Woodrow. "Nat! Make

arrangements at once, for we need to start attacking all the business operations under the Miller Family

now. Miss Cornell wants us to wipe out all their abroad businesses within an hour and make them go

bankrupt.

Glancing at the Miller Family's information, Nathan rolled his eyes before saying, "Has Miss Cornell lost

her mind? We will have to pay a hefty price if we want to make the Miller Family go bankrupt within an

hour."

"Just hurry up and do it! Why do you have so many complaints? Does Miss Cornell look like she's

someone who cares about money?" Savannah reprimanded angrily as she glared at him.

Nathan thought about Savannah's words for a moment. She's right. Miss Cornell honestly doesn't care

about the hundreds of billions of assets. As he thought of that, he stopped complaining. Without delay,

he distributed each and every task to the people under him and ordered them to start carrying out their

duties.

Nathan had a large number of financial personnel under him, and most of them were loyal to Katherine,

for they had received her favor in the past.

Although they didn't understand why Katherine wanted to attack the Miller Family, they had no problem

with her order about wanting to make the Miller Family go bankrupt within an hour, either.

Just like that, the orders were sent out, and the tasks were carried out orderly. The Miller Family didn't

notice anything weird at first. However, after ten minutes, they finally realized something was wrong.

At the same time, Katherine and Joaquin's car had also arrived at the Miller Residence gate.

The residence gate was closed, and no one came to open it for them, even after Joaquin's car had

pulled over at the gate for five minutes.

At this juncture, Katherine had utterly lost her patience as she was worried sick about Jennifer and

Noah's safety. Hence, with a cold demeanor, she said, "Knock the gate down and break in!"

Upon hearing that, Joaquin glanced at her. He knew that the disappearance of Jennifer and Noah for

Katherine was equivalent to someone tap dancing on her limits.

Without hesitation, he immediately stepped on the accelerator, directly knocked down the massive iron

gate in front, and drove into the Miller Residence at an incredible speed.

Meanwhile, in the Miller Residence, a feminine-looking man sat leisurely on the couch in the living

room, and in front of him stood Jennifer and a pale-faced Noah.

Even though both had some injuries on their bodies, they weren't too severe.

Jennifer looked at the man in front of her with a cold demeanor and asked, "What exactly are you trying

to do?"

"Well, it isn't something serious. Mrs. Olsen, I heard that you're Mr. Olsen's widow. So, I figure you

must possess everything he left behind after his passing. So, I'll send someone to take you two home

as long as you hand over the things," said the man rather politely as he looked at Jennifer with a smile.

In an instant, Jennifer's face turned solemn. "I don't know what you're talking about."

When the man heard Jennifer's reply, his smile became increasingly brighter before he threatened her

by saying, "You don't know? It's easy if you don't know. I'm not a very patient person. So if you don't tell

me, I'll cut off your granddaughter's fingers one by one. One minute of silence equals one finger getting

cut off. And if I have cut all ten of her fingers, I'll proceed to cut off her toes. I'll move on to the ears and

nose once we're out of toes. But I'm just not sure how long she can endure the pain. So what do you

say, Mrs. Olsen?"

Jennifer's facial expression abruptly changed when she heard the man's words and kept Noah behind

her. "You dare?"

"Do your thing," the man ordered with a wave of his hand.

In a swift, someone stepped forward and pulled Noah away from Jennifer.

Jennifer wanted to protect Noah. Yet, due to her age, she was no match for the group of young and

strong bodyguards. As a result, she was directly pushed to the ground and sustained some injuries on

her body.

"Noah!" Jennifer shouted, anxiously watching as Noah was getting dragged away.

Noah's face was ghastly pale, and she was shivering from head to toe in fear. Even so, she kept her

mouth shut and simply looked at Jennifer with teary eyes despite looking terrified.

Meanwhile, the person, who took Noah away, violently pressed her onto the coffee table. Then, he

picked up a fruit knife and positioned it on her index finger, making it clear that he would cut off Noah's

finger without hesitation as long as the man sitting on the couch gave his order.

"Don't hurt her!" Jennifer roared furiously, her eyes reddened with anger.

The smile on the man's face subsided. He slowly sat up straight and looked at Jennifer. "Mrs. Olsen,

I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. I just want what I want. I don't really care much about your

life and hers. Also, I know your granddaughter is very capable. Speaking of which, she probably will be

here soon. Hence, I have no time to waste with you here. Give me the things I want, and I'll let you two

go. This is a pretty fair deal, isn't it?"

As Jennifer regarded the pale-faced Noah, she felt her heart twist so much like it had been stabbed

ruthlessly by a sharp blade.

The man finally lost his patience when he saw that Jennifer refused to cooperate. Thus, he ordered

mercilessly, all the while looking at her, "Cut off the child's finger! I ought to see how long you can keep

your mouth shut."
