Chapter 135: 135 Dismiss from Pos

Samuel knew that Joseph would not be fooled easily and that Joseph didn't like him. There was also the fact that both wanted to be with Kate, causing not only competition at work but also in their personal lives. Since Joseph did not trust him, he could stop pretending. Samuel said bluntly, "My parents have always looked forward to the day that I could show promise. But, because of you, I had no place in the Smith family, let alone in Smith Group. I studied and worked hard overseas for several years just to surpass you and become president of this company!"

Joseph was not surprised by what Samuel said, so he opened the door the commented, "Congratulations! Now, you got the job!"

Samuel watched Joseph leave and smiled.

Joseph hadn't been home for long when the announcement of his removal from Smith Group was released on the internet. Many people were speculating as to why such an excellent president would be removed.

When Kate saw the news, she thought she misinterpreted what that article said, so she read it over and over before realizing it was true.

It was the end of the day, but Kate was still reading multiple different stories about Smith Group when Lisa called and asked her to dinner. Kate was hesitant to agree, but she assumed that Lisa saw the news about Joseph and wanted to know what happened.

Lisa and Kate met at the restaurant, and after Lisa ordered, she still deciding if she should tell Kate.

Kate spoke first, "Do you want to ask me whether or not I know about Joseph's removal?"

Lisa smiled sarcastically, "No, no, I'm not so gossiping."

"Okay, just say what you want to say."

Kate also wanted to know why Joseph was dismissed; she hoped Lisa might know.

Lisa said, "I know you have a conscience and that you might actually care about him!"

Kate rolled her eyes, "If you talk nonsense, I will..."

"Okay, okay," Lisa told her what she had found out, "You were part of the Smith family. You should know who is really in charge of Smith Group, and who could fire Joseph. Nobody, but Vincent Smith would have that power."

Kate was completely aware that it would be Vincent, but Joseph worked so hard for the company. After he took over as president, there were huge developments; many called him the hero of Smith Group. Therefore, Kate did not understand why he was suddenly dismissed.

"Many people on the internet are saying that after Joseph's dismiss, the company will close down. Also, since Joseph is gone, Samuel took his place as president of Smith Group. Everyone is saying that the main reason Joseph left had to do with Samuel."

"Kate, what are you thinking about?" Lisa waved her hand in front of Kate's face.

"Uh... nothing..." She was indeed a little absent-minded, and even a bit worried about Joseph. Although she tried to deny her love for him, her real feelings always betrayed her.

Lisa saw the anxiety in her expression. She patted her on the hand and said, "If you are worried about him, why don't you go to see him? You know that he was by your side not that long ago."

"I'm not worried," Kate denied and said in a low voice, "We are at most friends now. It is not suitable for me to go to him."

Lisa understood and sighed, "Don't deceive yourself. I can clearly see that you worry about him."

Kate suddenly got extremely anxious and mumbled, "I am just worried about Auntie Cassie…"

"You need to remember that since Joseph saw Anna's real personality, he has not disrespected you. And thanks to him, you saw Anna's tricks," Lisa was afraid that she might upset Kate more, so she explained, "I am not sticking up for him; I am just stating the facts."

She had to admit what Lisa was saying was true; Joseph's attitude toward had changed, and he seemed to be overly concerned about her.

The next morning, Kate's phone started ringing before her alarm went off.

"Kate, are you free? My mother is in the hospital. If you can, please go to visit her. When she heard about Joseph was fired from Smith Group, she probably couldn't handle it."

Kate panicked and agreed, "Okay, I will go to the hospital to see her right away."

Half an hour later, Kate arrived at the hospital. She walked into Cassie's room; she was lying on the bed, facing the window. Jenny was there and motioned to Kate that they should speak in the hallway.

"Thank you for coming, Kate. I know you aren't married to Joseph any longer, but Cassie has always thought of you as a daughter. This incident has been a heavy blow to her. I hope you can encourage her that things will get better."

"Okay, I will do my best," Kate whispered.

Jenny was relieved to hear Kate would talk to Cassie; she hugged her, "Thank you!"

"It is alright, Auntie. I am happy to do it."

Jenny smiled happily, "I thought you would never call me auntie after you divorced Joseph. Regardless, you are great friends with Noelle; I will always treat you like family. It is just such a pity that my nephew did not see what Anna was truly like and missed out on a great woman like you."

Kate couldn't help but ask, "Do you know why he isn't the president of Smith Group?"

Jenny looked at Kate's worried expression, "You still have feelings for Joseph, don't you?"

"No…no…" Kate said, looking at the ground.

"Don't be nervous around me; I am very reasonable. I don't blame you; on the contrary, you have been wronged for a very long time. I apologize on behalf of Joseph."

"No, I am sorry. I shouldn't have bothered you; I am so sorry."

Jenny shook her head, "Leave it up to fate. Sometimes relationships that go through hard times are stronger than those that don't."

After speaking, Jenny began to laugh, "You see, I..."

Suddenly, she realized she never answered Kate's question. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and explained, "Joseph was removed not only because he didn't want to listen to his grandpa, but also because he doesn't want to…"

"Aunt Jenny!" Joseph exclaimed and waved.
