Dora understood her daughter, but Anna was an impulsive person who could not cope well under pressure. When Anna was unable to respond to the accusations, Dora was disappointed. She believed that if she could, she would be able to win over Kate, just as Dora had with Flora.
"Joseph, please allow me to say something," Dora took on Anna's responsibility.
Quickly, "On that night, Anna was asked by her father to apologize to Kate. Leo felt extremely guilty for hitting his daughter. Due to his difficulty walking, he entrusted Anna to speak to Kate on his behalf. Don't listen to what Kate is saying, and do not incriminate Anna."
Dora assumed that Joseph still loved Anna, she was unaware that after he caught her telling so many lies that he had no feelings for her.
"Incriminate her?" Joseph replied, "Anna admitted to harming Kate, and I am sure that you are completely aware of everything."
"Admitted?" Dora looked at Anna in surprise. Anna shook her head as her mother continued, "Joseph, you cannot force Anna to admit something she did not do. She is the love of your life!"
"As her mother, you don't know what your daughter has done? She took advantage of Kate's trust and conned her way into my heart. And now, she killed my baby. I will get even with your daughter for all she has done!"
Joseph directed his two bodyguards to take Anna to Kate's room.
A few moments before they walked into her room, Kate hung up the phone with Lisa. She was shocked to see Anna kneeling on the ground and shouted, "What are you, don't here?"
Joseph walked in, and before he was able to shut the door, Kate heard Dora shouting. She was yelling, "Joseph, you don't understand what Anna is saying. She…" Then suddenly, she was stopped by one of Joseph's bodyguards.
Kate thought they were all putting on an excellent performance, but when she saw Anna kneeling at her bedside, she did feel gratified.
"Kate, I have found out the truth. You have the right to punish her," Joseph was going to send Anna directly to the police station, but he wanted to allow Kate to get revenge for herself and their baby.
"You finally admit what you've done!" Kate snarled. However, she was curious as to why such a stubborn person would readily admit to her crimes.
"I admit that I argued and fought with you that night. But I did not kill your baby on purpose. You didn't tell me that you were pregnant. I suspect that you hid that fact on purpose!"
"On purpose?" Kate thought Anna did not regret her actions and that she only wanted to belittle Kate further, "You mean it was not Joseph's baby? So, I used you to kill the baby?"
"You are not only slandering me but also Samuel. What a great hoax!"
How could I forgive such an evil person! Kate thought to herself.
"Slander? Even Joseph suspects that you are having an affair with Samuel," Anna was purposely trying to prompt a conflict between Kate and Joseph.
Seeing Anna's intentions, Joseph warned her immediately, "Talk about what we have evidence of, not nonsense!"
Then Joseph asked Kate, "Do you want her to go to the police station or…"
"Are you willing to do that?" Kate asked cautiously, "You love her. I am sure that if you send her there, you will find a way to get her released."
"Don't say such angry things! I am willing to punish Anna," Dora knelt down and begged, "Lord Joseph, please let my daughter go. She is just bad-tempered but doesn't have an evil mind."
"She is as evil as you, Dora! You bitch!" Cassie pushed the door open and marched toward Dora. Raising her hand, Cassie slapped Dora across the face, "You are an evil, evil woman! You not only stole Flora's husband, but you also taught your daughter how to do the same. Anna killed my grandchild; she cannot escape punishment!"
Dora was furious after Cassie hit her, "Don't talk about the past in front of them! You don't understand the love between Leo and me, so you have no right to judge!"
"Mom, please stop!" Anna was humiliated, but Dora felt ashamed and did not care that Cassie was Joseph's mother. However, Anna knew that it would only make things worse between her and Cassie.
When Dora heard her daughter yell, she snapped to her senses; she remembered that White Group would need Joseph's help in the future, so she tried her best to restrain her emotions.
Once Cassie was done with Dora, she stepped toward Anna and slapped her as well, "You son of a bitch!"
Anna's cuts from Lisa's beating were still fresh, and the impact of Cassie's slap caused them to start bleeding again. Stunned by the blood and force of the hand across her face, Anna was speechless.
While Cassie was disciplining Anna and Dora, Kate watched Joseph. She expected to see him stop his mother, but instead, he remained calm and stood quietly.
"You need to know what the consequences are of injuring others for no reason," Cassie wanted to send Anna to prison so that she could no longer interfere in Joseph's and Kate's marriage.
Anna was scared and apologized, "Aunt Cassie, I understand that you think this my fault. I did not do it on purpose. I am so sorry…sorry…"
Cassie was trying to force Anna to admit what she had done, which left Amy feeling relieved. Since she was not involved in the fight, she might be able to escape punishment by the police.
"Can you bring my grandchild back, or can Kate recover just because you apologize? No, I will not let you get away with this!" Cassie was not going to lose the opportunity to get Anna out of their lives.
"Kate, I know I hurt you and your baby. But Dad is old; he needs my help. Please forgive me this time for Dad's sake. I will never disturb your life with Joseph again," Anna begged sincerely then knelt in front of Kate.
"Do you think I will forgive you because you are using Dad as an excuse?" Kate sneered, "In the last two years, you have tried to frame me multiple times for things I haven't done. If you hadn't been caught this time, would you apologize and ask me to let you go? You know everything you have done and what you deserve."
"So, you mean you will charge her?" Dora shouted, "Fine, she can handle it. It won't be that big a deal. Even if she goes to prison, she will still be young when she gets out. She will be able to start over!"
