Losing to My Substitute (Katerina and Joshu)
Substitute 6

hapter 6

As for Joshua's identity, she wasn't clear about it and didn't know how to explain.

Just as she was about to speak, Bethany's mother suddenly brought up a pot of hot soup, exchanged

a glance with Bethany, and gave an almost imperceptible nod.

Then, pretending to lose her grip, she spilled the entire pot of hot soup.

"Look out!"

Ethan, Tony, and Andrew all rushed to protect Bethany, afraid that even a drop of hot soup might scald her.

Not one of them protected Katerina.

"Ah-"

The scalding chicken soup poured all over Katerina. She sharply inhaled, her entire body turning red from the burns, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain.

Seeing the satisfaction in Bethany's mother's eyes, Katerina immediately understood and asked in a trembling voice:

"You did this on purpose?"

At these words, Bethany's mother first froze, then immediately burst into tears. "Miss, what are you saying? How could I do it on purpose? I know it's all my fault that you got burned, but how can you accuse me like this?" Seeing her mother humiliated, Bethany quickly emerged from the brothers' protective circle and resolutely stood in front of her mother, crystal tears in her eyes.

"Young Miss, we may be poor, but we have dignity and pride. We won't let you insult us like this!"

"If that's how you feel, then we'll leave!"

She turned around, held her mother's hand, and the two walked out together.

Watching the mother and daughter leave, Ethan looked at Katerina with complete dissatisfaction and angrily rebuked her:

Losing to My Substitute

Katerina, Aunt Amy works tirelessly, and she just accidentally spilled some soup How can you accuse her of doing it on purpose? Can't you stop being so willfulz

Tony also frowned, looking at her with disappointment. "Beth is so kind, and Aunt Amy has the same? personality. How could she do something like that?

"Yeah, and even if Aunt Amy did do it on purpose, to what? It's just some hot soup. Are you not satisfied until you drive everyone away?" Andrew roared, full of disapproval. Hearing these words, Katerina felt countless emotions surge to her head, tears instantly welling up

in her eyes.

But the three brothers paid no attention to her emotions, merely giving her a cold look before rushing out the door to chase after Bethany.

Only after the three left did Katerina belatedly feel the pain on her body. A large area of her skin was burning with pain. When she tried to stand up, the pain made her body sway, and she collapsed to the ground. "Kate!"

Mr. and Mrs. Green quickly helped her up and immediately called for the driver to take her to the hospital.

When she woke up, Katerina opened her eyes to see Mr. and Mrs. Green keeping watch by her bedside.

Seeing her awake, Mrs. Green excitedly wiped away her tears and tightly held Katerina's hand, quickly apologizing.

"Kate, we watched the security footage. Aunt Amy really did do it on purpose. We knew the mother and daughter were calculating, but we didn't realize they were this bad."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure those three give you an explanation, and make them see Bethany's true face!"

"Sweet child, don't say things like you're already married just to make us angry."

Katerina just shook her head. "Aunt Green, this isn't said in anger. 1 really am married."

Then, she took out a bank card she had prepared earlier and an emerald necklace from her bag. placing them in Mrs. Green's hands.

"Aunt Green, this is the money I've saved over these years. Consider it repayment for my expenses at

the Green family all this time.

This is the Green family heirloom you gave me before, saying it was only for your daughters in law But now, it doesn't belong to me anymore, so please take it back." Seeing these things, Mr. and Mrs. Green finally realized she was serious.
