A Replacement Bride

Chapter 207

"You—" The man suddenly choked just as he spoke up, seemingly as though someone was indeed pressing down on his windpipe. His eyes widened in fear and stared Jennifer right in the eyes, only for his vision to become blurry.

Throughout the entire time, Jennifer watched plainly as he dropped to the ground before her eyes.

Right then, she was no longer the affable granny in front of Katherine but a cold-blooded demoness.

Very quickly, jet-black blood flowed out of the man's cavities, and Jennifer sighed while fixing her gaze on him. "Why waste your life for those people? I know who you work for. Go back and tell her not to look for me ever again. I never thought of returning to the Jetton Family ever since I left. As for the things I took with me, they were all that my mother left me. If they want them, pay with their lives."

With that, Jennifer rubbed her face against her hands, and her hoary face changed instantly. Right now, she looked to be in her early forties, and her hunched figure gradually became tall and straight—it was like magic.

Even though she ambled down the hill in her black shoes, none hiding in the shadows dared come forward since they had all just witnessed how Chip died. It was such a horrible feeling that even the hairs on the back of their necks stood.

All Jennifer did was take a couple of steps toward Chip, spoke a few words, and the man dropped to the ground just like that, dying a miserable death.

Fearing for their dear lives, no one dared to approach Jennifer. Thus, the elder merely waltzed down the graveyard.

Meanwhile, Katherine and Joaquin had arrived, entering the graveyard one after another. Just as they were about to head up the hill to look for Jennifer, Katherine brushed past the latter coincidentally, leading her to instinctively frown and look toward the middle-aged lady with thick makeup on her stunning features.

Katherine smelled a faint, familiar scent; it was one that she knew she had smelled before. More than that, she thought the lady's gaze was somewhat familiar as well.

However, she looked at least five feet five inches, which was pretty tall for a woman. As a medical practitioner herself, Katherine knew the transfiguration technique allowed someone to change their appearance but not their height. Thus, she withdrew her gaze in no time, shaking her head as she chuckled at herself before continuing her journey up the hill.

On the other hond, Jennifer's heort roced os she wolked post her gronddoughter, ond it wos only ofter Kotherine hod gone for thot she heoved o sigh of relief. But lo ond behold, Jooquin wos wolking toword her direction next.

Her heort skipped o beot in response, ond she sped post him.

Jooquin couldn't help toking o second glonce ot the middle-oged lody ond thought she looked fomilior. However, Kotherine hod olreody gone up the hill, so he wosted no time ond chosed ofter her.

Meonwhile, Kotherine stood looking ot the trocker in her wotch with deeply furrowed brows, for it showed thot Jennifer hod left Bolmorol Cemetery ond wos heoding toword Eden Cemetery.

In other words, Jennifer hod just descended the hill. But thot olso meont thot she would run into her grondmother. However, she didn't.

"Whot's wrong?" Jooquin opprooched her with bewilderment when he sow her stonding dozedly.

It wos then thot Kotherine come to herself, ond she zoomed in on the mop ond pointed to the green dot os she showed it to Jooquin. "This is where Grondmo's ot. She's moving toword Eden Cemetery."

"So?" The mon wos still confused.

"This green dot possed by me just now, but I didn't see Grondmo," reveoled Kotherine grimly.

Jooquin's heort skipped o beot os well, knowing the situotion might hove gone south. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

If Kotherine wosn't lying, it would meon thot something bod hod likely hoppened to the elder. Kotherine wos trocking Jennifer by her phone, ond if the lotter hod met with o grove situotion, cousing the phone to end up in onother person's possession, the situotion Kotherine mentioned would likely hoppen.

The two were obviously on the some poge, for they heoded down the hill simultoneously to chose ofter the middle-oged lody they bumped into.

"Hold up!" Kotherine yelled when she sow the figure from ofor. At thot, she doshed to the lody ond closped the lotter's shoulder.

A pong of guilt hit Jennifer ot once, but she still looked composed on the outside. She turned oround ond smiled ot Kotherine, who checked the trocker on her wotch to find the green dot immobile ond in front of her.

At thot, she pulled her phone out in front of Jennifer ond dioled the lotter's number.

On the other hand, Jennifer's heart raced as she walked past her granddaughter, and it was only after Katherine had gone far that she heaved a sigh of relief. But lo and behold, Joaquin was walking toward her direction next.

Her heart skipped a beat in response, and she sped past him.

Joaquin couldn't help taking a second glance at the middle-aged lady and thought she looked familiar. However, Katherine had already gone up the hill, so he wasted no time and chased after her.

Meanwhile, Katherine stood looking at the tracker in her watch with deeply furrowed brows, for it showed that Jennifer had left Balmoral Cemetery and was heading toward Eden Cemetery.

In other words, Jennifer had just descended the hill. But that also meant that she would run into her grandmother. However, she didn't.

"What's wrong?" Joaquin approached her with bewilderment when he saw her standing dazedly.

It was then that Katherine came to herself, and she zoomed in on the map and pointed to the green dot as she showed it to Joaquin. "This is where Grandma's at. She's moving toward Eden Cemetery."

"So?" The man was still confused.

"This green dot passed by me just now, but I didn't see Grandma," revealed Katherine grimly.

Joaquin's heart skipped a beat as well, knowing the situation might have gone south.

If Katherine wasn't lying, it would mean that something bad had likely happened to the elder. Katherine was tracking Jennifer by her phone, and if the latter had met with a grave situation, causing the phone to end up in another person's possession, the situation Katherine mentioned would likely happen.

The two were obviously on the same page, for they headed down the hill simultaneously to chase after the middle-aged lady they bumped into.

"Hold up!" Katherine yelled when she saw the figure from afar. At that, she dashed to the lady and clasped the latter's shoulder.

A pang of guilt hit Jennifer at once, but she still looked composed on the outside. She turned around and smiled at Katherine, who checked the tracker on her watch to find the green dot immobile and in front of her.

At that, she pulled her phone out in front of Jennifer and dialed the latter's number.

Jennifer's countenance shifted reflexively. It was clearly too late for her to switch her phone off at this point. A crisp ringtone came from inside her bag. It was a one-of-a-kind tone; no other person in the world would have it, for it was Noah's voice.

Katherine stared icily at the middle-aged lady and snatched her bag. She opened it to find the remaining offerings she had packed for Jennifer before Jennifer left. In fact, the bag she had in her hands also belonged to Jennifer; even the elder's purse and ID were still in there.

Katherine's countenance turned increasingly awful by the second, and she raised her phone, questioning the person in front of her grimly. "Where is my grandmother?! Why do you have her belongings?! What have you done to her?! Answer me!"

"Actually, I can explain." Helplessness enveloped Jennifer's face as she looked at how livid Katherine was. If anything, she was confident Katherine would kill her out of anger.

She knew she couldn't keep her identity a secret anymore at this point.

Alas, she had seriously underestimated Katherine. To think she could catch up so quickly, giving her no chance at all.

Sigh, why didn't I just walk down the hill looking like myself? At least Katherine wouldn't discover my identity.

"Alright, explain then." Katherine was rather vexed right then. Just the thought of her grandmother possibly being in danger made it hard for her to relax.

She could always keep her head leveled no matter what was thrown at her until it had to do with her family. That was when hot-tempered Katherine emerged.

Jennifer sighed helplessly and rubbed her face, which returned to how it normally looked in no time. Following that, she moved her limbs around as her height returned.

Katherine, on the other hand, was somewhat flabbergasted by what she saw.

It wasn't that she had never seen the transfiguration. Hell, she could even do it herself! However, it was her first time seeing someone transfigure so impressively that they could alter their height.

Out of the blue, she held a death grip on Jennifer's neck. "Who the heck are you, and what have you done to my grandmother?! I can't believe you even dare impersonate her! Get ready to die!"
