Chapter 69: 69 Joseph Questioned Anna

"Mom, Joseph must know I hurt Kate. What should I do?" Anna asked.

"Don't admit it. All servants in the Smith mansion are on your side," Dora reminder her and nudged her to answer.

Anna said, trembling, "Joseph…"

"Where are you?" Joseph said determinedly, "Come to my house, right away!"

"Okay," Anna had no reason to refuse his invitation, nor did she want to lose the chance to see him, so she agreed and hung up.

Dora asked in a hurry, "What did he say?"

"He asked me to go to his house," Anna was on pins and needles, "Mom, will he break up with me?"

Anna was not nearly as confident about their love since she came back. Joseph defended Kate twice in front of her. If he found out the truth, there was no way for her to win the battle.

"Remember you have pictures of Kate on a date with Samuel," Dora told her, "No man wants to see his wife on a date with another man. Plus, there were already so many rumors about the two of them. If you tell him about that, he will not care so much about you hitting Kate!"

Anna suddenly realized what her mother was saying, "I know how to deal with it!"

"Remember that you must be calm in the face of danger. You cannot be affected by others mentally, nor can you admit that you hit Kate," Dora warned.

About half an hour later, Anna stood out at the door of the Smith mansion. She ran her fingers through her hair, took a deep breath, and walked inside.

Joseph was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for her to arrive.

"Joseph," She smiled, "I was on the way to visit my sister at the hospital when you called me. I figured it was something urgent, so I came here first."

Joseph cast a cold glance at her and scoffed, "Really? When did you two start getting along so well?"

The sarcastic tone in Joseph's voice shocked her, but she acted natural, "Although the relationship between Kate and I was tense because of you, we are family. And our father is very worried about her; he asked me to check in on her."

"Your dad cares about her?" Joseph laughed, "I think he only cares about if he didn't hit her hard enough!"

Anna was startled, she sighed, "Joseph, please don't get my father wrong. He didn't know what was going on at that time, so he hit Kate. He regrets it now and wants to see her, but he fears that Kate may not be happy with him. So, I am going there to apologize on his behalf."

Even Anna herself was convinced by her own lies. She not only gave a reasonable and logical explanation but also showed her generosity. It was much more convincing than an apology.

"So, you meane I have to thank him?" Joseph asked coldly.

"No…You don't need to. After all, Kate is his daughter. He should care about her."

Anna could not respond to his words.

"Even though he is Kate's father, he could educate her rather than hit her. Plus, Kate is my wife! It seems that I have given him too much lenience over the years, so now he dares to hit my wife."

Anna was terrified by Joseph's anger, but she understood what he was saying.

White Group had received many benefits from the Smith Group in the past. If she or her father offended Joseph, it could be extremely detrimental to their company. She had to find a way to get back into Joseph's good graces.

"Joseph, I know you are angry with my dad, but you…"

"I'm just angry with your dad? Don't you want to tell me something?" Joseph said, glaring at her.

Anna was frightened and dared not look at him. She could only shake head and act dumb, "Joseph, I... I don't understand what you mean..."

"How stupid do you think I am? I like to believe that I have met many people, and I am a good judge of character. Yet, for so long, I haven't been able to see through you!" Joseph finally believed in his heart that he never really knew the woman he thought he had loved.

"Joseph, what do you mean?" Anna had a bad feeling, but she tried her best to remain calm, remembering that she couldn't say anything until Joseph asked her bluntly.

"You made Kate miscarry our child. Am I right? You killed my baby?" Joseph yelled at her.

"I…I don't…" Anna still denied the accusation.

"Amy, Ricky, you come here now!" Joseph questioned all of them face to face.

Amy and Ricky had been hiding in another room, listening to the argument, but when Joseph yelled, they walked in, looking frightened.

Anna could not help worrying that they might betray her. If they did, it would be pointless for her to deny her involvement.

"Tell me exactly what happened!" Joseph ordered, starting at Ricky.

"I…I was… watering the flowers in the garden when it happened. I was not there. I…know nothing." Ricky stammered. It was the best way to act stupid; if he didn't admit it, he could not get in trouble.

"Then why are you trembling?"

"I…I feel bad for not being able to take care of Lady Kate. I feel like it was my responsibility…" Ricky lowered his head so that Joseph wouldn't see his guilt.

Lord Joseph must know I was present. If I lie to him, using the same excuse as Ricky, he will suspect something. So, I need to figure out another explanation. Amy thought to herself.

"Lord Joseph, after Lady Kate fell, I saw her trousers full of blood. I was quite frightened then that I called the ambulance immediately," Amy blurted out.

Anna felt confident after hearing Amy's answer. They both kept their promise and did not betray her. It was clear that neither of them cared for Kate.

"I give you one more chance, Amy," Joseph stared at her to test whether she was lying, "How did Lady Kate miscarry?"

"I…" Amy was terrified. She glimpsed Joseph and was shocked by his anger.

She buried her head in a hurry and said, "I don't know, Lord Joseph. I only saw the blood on her. I didn't know she was pregnant. You didn't tell me, neither did she."
