Chapter 44: 44 Joseph Overheard the Conversation

"Don't worry about me, Lisa. I've have given up on him; I am no longer the little girl who wrote him letters. I don't want to divorce him because I want to find evidence that he killed my grandma, and I promised Mrs. Smith that I would wait. You know that she is so kind to me, I don't want to hurt her."

"Kate, you are unwavering in everything, except when it comes to Joseph. He mistreats you, but you are still unwilling to leave him and dream of the day that he will finally love you…" Lisa said sincerely.

"No, I have no such dream. Even if he begged me not to divorce him, I would still leave him," Kate claimed, but she was unsure if she could be so adamant if it actually happened.

Joseph could overhear Kate's conversation with Lisa. When he heard how Kate was feeling, he felt guilty for what he had done to her in the past.

"Joseph, it's very late. I'm going to get ready to go home… but it's not convenient to get a taxi to come here. Can you…" Anna wanted Joseph to take her home like he always had, but he was in a bad mood, so she dared not ask him directly; all she could do was hint.

"I'll have my driver take you home," Joseph said coldly.

Having the driver take me home doesn't work for me. I need to find another way. Anna thought to herself.

"Joseph, my head…my head aches…" Anna used the scam to make Joseph worry so that he would take her home.

Joseph's first reaction was to check her head to make sure nothing was wrong then to comfort her. However, he thought of what he heard Kate tell Lisa, then he said, "Anna, you should go home and get some rest then."

He turned to Amy and asked her to escort Anna to the car.

"Yes, sir!" Amy answered.

"Joseph!" Anna shouted. She could not believe that he would let her go that easily. She cried, "I know I should not make trouble for Kate and frame her, but it is all because I love you."

"Don't hurt others with this excuse anymore. I have told you that I HATE lying." Joseph emphasized the word hate and looked at her with anger.

Anna was frightened and tried to explain, "Joseph, I did not mean to scheme on purpose. I was just not confident that you would fall in love with me if I didn't have the letters. I know I was wrong; please don't be angry with me."

Anna ran to hug him, throwing her arms tightly around his neck, but Joseph pushed her away. He snarled, "Go home to rest!"

Anna had no choice but to leave feeling disappointed and frustrated.

Ten minutes after Joseph appeared in the doorway, Kate closed her computer and ran her fingers through her hair. She stood up to get a shower and noticed that Joseph was standing right behind her. She was surprised to see him home; she thought he would take Anna home and stay with her.

"Why are you standing there so quietly? You scared me!" Kate said.

Joseph did not answer her.

Then Kate continued, "I embarrassed Anna today, so now you want to teach me a lesson ?"

She stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and put her hands on her hips before arrogantly saying, "Come on! I am not afraid of you!"

However, Joseph still didn't say a word; he just walked into the bathroom.

Since Anna came back, Joseph didn't force her to have sex, not even to get pregnant. They slept in the same bed, but keep their distance from each other. Kate felt more physically relaxed, but it made no difference mentally. Whenever she thought about her grandma, she could not help feeling hatred toward Joseph. She had no evidence that he hurt her grandma, but she knew he had plenty of motive.

The next afternoon Anna and Dora were at White Group.

"Mom, I don't want to read them. They are too difficult," Anna pushed aside the documents in front of her, "I only want Joseph to love me and be by my said forever."

Dora, seeing her worry, shook head helplessly and said, "You hurt yourself deliberately to win him back, but he still ignored you. I don't know how to deal with it."

"I had thought that Joseph would divorce Kate after I returned. Instead, he is acting terribly cold toward me. It's all because of that bitch, Kate! If she didn't tell Joseph the truth, he wouldn't be upset," Anna kicked the table and cursed.

Mentioning Kate also made Dora very angry, "Kate is as shameless as her mother. Flora also would not agree to divorce your father."

Anna snapped, "She is not that smart. She did not figure out the scam we pulled two years ago. And, when her grandma died, she is only blaming Joseph. I am sure that she will not figure out anything we do in the future as long as we are careful."

Dora smiled at her and praised Anna's cleverness.

"In fact, the toughest issue was Joseph's mother. She has always supported Kate, and now with Joseph ignoring me, I need to stir up trouble between his wife and his mother."

Dora sneered, "Cassie is a damn widow, and ever since her husband died, she depends on her son for everything. She supports Kate because Flora was her best friend; plus, Kate listens to her. She is prejudice against you because I took Flora's husband."

"I want to show her that I will listen to her, but she didn't give me a chance. You know we don't get along well, so I may never get the opportunity," Anna sighed desperately.
