A Replacement Bride

"Mr. Levisoy?" Jordon wos token obock, never expecting the one onswering to be Jooquin. Thot soid,

he didn't spend time mulling over the issue but told Jooquin whot the city wos focing ond finolly

pleoded, "Mr. Levisoy, it's super serious this time. The entire city's under moritol low now, ond the

director generol of the police deportment hos issued o city-wide orrest worront to orrest this hocker."

To thot, Jooquin rubbed his temples ond promised, "Got it. Don't woste your time on this onymore;

none of you will be oble to resolve the issue. I'll osk her to settle it for you guys."

With thot, he ended the coll ond looked helplessly ot Kotherine. "Con't you let them go for now? The

entire Hovington is ponicking right now, thinking some big shot hos hocked into the city's security

system to do some kind of domoge."

Kotherine checked the GPS on her wotch ond finolly gove Jooquin o sympothetic glonce ofter heoring

his words. "They're too mentolly frogile. I'm just giving them the push."

Jooquin wos rendered speechless. He knew oll Kotherine could think obout now wos her grondmother

ond nothing else. As for whether Hovington wos reolly in choos, only the guys ot the public security

would worry ond ponic. The generol public wouldn't feel o thing obout it or even ponic. If onything,

those officers could see this os o drill.

Because of this, the director general couldn't imagine how capable this foreign aid Jordan spoke of.

Thus, he thought the young man was only messing with him. Honest to God, who else could solve the

problem when not even the top computer science graduate from the University of Bora could?!

It was hard for Jordan to explain as well. So, he just pulled his phone out and called Katherine, who

happened to be driving right then. As she was too occupied to answer it, she asked Joaquin, "Answer it

for me, please."

Stumped to his senses, Joaquin glanced at Katherine before shifting his gaze to her pocket, where the

phone was ringing. "You want me to answer it for you?!"

"Just do it," she urged.

The man could only oblige. When he saw the two words 'Jordan Flint' boldly displayed on the screen,

he pursed his lips before finally answering it after a long while.

At that, Jordan wasted no time and disclosed his situation as soon as the call connected. "Miss Cornell,

it's me, Jordan, from Area Seven. We've met before. Here's the thing; I'm met with a super tricky issue

right now. Someone has hacked into Hovington's security system. I—"

"I know. You can't resolve it. No one can. So, you need Kathy to step in, don't you?" Joaquin interjected

icily.

"Mr. Levisay?" Jordan was taken aback, never expecting the one answering to be Joaquin. That said,

he didn't spend time mulling over the issue but told Joaquin what the city was facing and finally

pleaded, "Mr. Levisay, it's super serious this time. The entire city's under marital law now, and the

director general of the police department has issued a city-wide arrest warrant to arrest this hacker."

To that, Joaquin rubbed his temples and promised, "Got it. Don't waste your time on this anymore;

none of you will be able to resolve the issue. I'll ask her to settle it for you guys."

With that, he ended the call and looked helplessly at Katherine. "Can't you let them go for now? The

entire Hovington is panicking right now, thinking some big shot has hacked into the city's security

system to do some kind of damage."

Katherine checked the GPS on her watch and finally gave Joaquin a sympathetic glance after hearing

his words. "They're too mentally fragile. I'm just giving them the push."

Joaquin was rendered speechless. He knew all Katherine could think about now was her grandmother

and nothing else. As for whether Hovington was really in chaos, only the guys at the public security

would worry and panic. The general public wouldn't feel a thing about it or even panic. If anything,

those officers could see this as a drill.

With that thought in mind, Joaquin no longer thought there was anything wrong. Thus, he accompanied

Katherine to Balmoral Cemetery with a clear conscience. As for how much of a panic Jordan and the

others were in, it wasn't within Joaquin's control.

Time passed, and Katherine took the long road and finally arrived at Balmoral Cemetery's parking lot to

avoid suspicion.

A shrewd woman, Jennifer first went to Eden Cemetery. After sending the chauffeur on his way, she

went up and circled the place before visiting Darren's grave and validating the fact that someone had

indeed dug her late husband's grave. Though she couldn't be sure if his remains were still there, she

couldn't take the risk.

Later, she went to the washroom, changed into a different set of clothes, and did her makeup,

transforming into a completely different person before finally heading down the cemetery to the

Balmoral Cemetery not far away.

The two cemeteries were next to each other, and after Jennifer entered the area, she didn't head

straight to the rendezvous point but seemingly wandered around. After making sure of the total number

of visitors, she changed her outfit and appearance back in the washroom before meeting with the other

party.

"You're pretty bold for an old hag. You can forget about ever calling for help. Your precious

granddaughter is still waiting leisurely for your return to Soulin International. So, be a good old lady and

hand us what we want, or you can say goodbye to your life!" A man in his thirties threatened Jennifer

menacingly as he stood before her.

Jennifer, on the other hand, looked plainly at him with a smirk and took a couple of steps forward

before saying, "You know, I've got a pet peeve. I hate being threatened, especially by someone ugly.

How dare you dig his grave! So, even if you took his remains away, you deserve to rot in hell!"

The last part of her words resembled callings from a grim reaper—it was bone-chilling.

Chills suddenly ran down the man's spine as fear crept up in his heart.
