Daisy was embarrassed. After she sat straight, she smiled coldly, "I was right. An adopted sister can never compare to a half-blooded sister!"
"Up until now, you were my sister but your actions have proven different," Kate looked at her, with her eyes full of disappointment, "If you really want me to care for you, you wouldn't have cheated me over and over, and use my trust to harm Kate Group! You have not only deceived me, but you also deceived my mother. You may not have been grateful for my mother, but you cannot deny her love for you."
Daisy's eyes suddenly turned red, and she asked, "Since you know I made so many mistakes, why don't you punish me?"
"Before we when we fought, you left here with anger. I did not kick you out, but this time you are being forced out!" Kate hadn't held her accountable because she thought of Daisy as her sister. However, she needed to pay the consequences for her actions and Kate wanted nothing more to do with her.
"Kate, you are just as cruel as I am!" Daisy sneered.
"Sister Kate, I've collected her belongings!" Anna announced coming down the stairs.
Kate knew that Daisy had brought very little of her belongings back.
"Give it to her!" Kate ordered Anna, not wanting to speak to Daisy.
"Here you are," Anna had no emotions when she put the bags down in front of Daisy.
Daisy was so angry that she slapped Anna and cursed, "You son of bitch! How can you force me out?"
The loud slap made Kate turn around abruptly. When she saw Anna holding her red face, her anger suddenly rose. She immediately hit Daisy.
Daisy's heart trembled. She clutched her face and looked at Kate in disbelief, "You slapped me because of Anna?"
"And what? Do you think I should let you continue to hurt her?" Kate snapped, "Do not challenge me! I only let you go this time because I cared for you in the past. If you continue to go further, you may not get off as easily!"
"I will get revenge on you one day!" Daisy knew things would not end well for her if she continued arguing with them. She covered her beaten face and picked up her suitcase.
When Kate heard Daisy slam the door behind her, she fell to the sofa and let the tears pour out. Her hand was still stinging from when she hit Daisy. It was the first time she ever touched her in an abusive way, meaning their sisterhood had come to an end.
Anna walked over to comfort Kate, "Sister, don't be sad."
Kate straightened up and said, "Your face…"
"I'm okay," Anna smiled, "Compared to Daisy kicking me when you are not here, this slap is nothing."
The sadness and upset in Kate's eyes turned to rage again, "I never expected her to be so cruel."
After a while, Kate added, "Perhaps it is because I am so stupid that I continued to fall for her lies."
"Don't say that, Sister Kate. You are not stupid. It was Daisy, she didn't cherish your kindness toward her."
"Don't mention her name," Kate didn't want to think about Daisy anymore. She looked at Anna's red face again, "Go get an ice pack and put it on your face, then you should see a doctor to check it over. And, don't be afraid in the future, you can tell me anything."
"Okay," Anna's eyes filled with tears. She hugged Kate, crying, "Sister Kate, I will cherish your kindness to me."
Kate patted her shoulder and smiled and said, "You don't need to say that, the most important thing is that you have a happy life."
She put on her coat and left to go to Joseph's, hoping the rest of the day would be quiet. However, the moment she arrived at the gate, she received a call from Cassie.
"Kate, come to the Smith mansion now!"
"Okay."
Cassie sounded serious and hung up immediately after Kate agreed.
Kate assumed it was something important that could not be talked about over the phone. She called and text Joseph but he didn't respond, so she had no idea where he was. She decided she would keep trying but she need to go see Cassie.
When she arrived, she saw Joseph's car parked next to many others belonging to members of the Smith family. As she walked inside, Kate could feel the tension in the air. She looked toward Joseph, he gave her a look as if to ask why she was there.
"You are here now. Please tell us everything that happened last night!" Gina bluntly ordered Kate, "I do not want my son to be victimized and beaten!"
Samuel denied everything, but he was full of bruises and cuts. Kate tried not to smile when she saw him.
"Kate, what on earth happened last night?" Cassie asked Kate.
"Mom, I already clearly told you what happened. You don't need to ask Kate again," There was a reason Joseph had brought Samuel home, but Samuel continued to lie.
"Joseph, you can stick up for your ex-wife, but you must respect the truth.
She was dizzy, so my son took her to rest. Yet, you keep saying he had bad intentions!"
Gina squinted at Kate and sneered, "My son did love her before, but many years have gone by and he doesn't care for her. She is a divorced woman, he can do better than that. How could he love her?"
