Chapter 63 You Killed Alan

Kate nodded her head and got in the car.

When they pulled into the driveway, Amy ran out to ask, "Lady Kate, where is Alan? Is he still at the clinic?"

Kate stared at her and did not speak for a long time.

Amy felt a little uncomfortable and guilty, she questioned, "Lady Kate, what is wrong with you?"

"You should know what is wrong with me!" Kate thought that Alan's death was too sudden and that Amy had to be involved.

"What…What do you mean?" Amy felt very nervous. She clenched her fists and stepped back in fear.

"Joseph is not here. You don't need to put on an act," Kate did not stop interrogating her, "You called Anna, right?"

"I…I just care about Alan. I thought since Alan was Anna's dog, she should know he was ill. Otherwise, she would have blamed us…" Amy was not sure what Anna said, so she tried to cover her tracks.

"As you wished, Alan is gone!" Kate shouted. She realized on the way home that Amy and Anna were probably trying to frame her. If they were indeed evil enough to murder Alan, they were more vindictive than she initially believed.

"Alan is gone?" Amy looked at Kate and said with uncertainty, "You mean… you mean he is dead?"

"Don't put on a show, Amy. You are not a professional actress!" Kate smirked and sat down on the sofa. She was not about to let Amy walk away without questioning her further, "You called Anna just so that she would cause trouble for me at the veterinarian clinic, right? Alan was not dead when I left here with him. If you only informed her I was taking him in, why did she have so many people with her? Your objective is quite obvious."

"I…I just told her that Alan went to the clinic…" Amy stuttered nervously. She knew that there was no way she could admit what really happened without losing her job. She was a maid at the Smith mansion so that she could be near Joseph every day. He was everything to her; she didn't know how she would live without being near him.

"I don't care. You and Anna both like to play innocent and will always try to turn it around on me," Kate lost all patience when she warned Amy, "But I promise you both, I will find out the truth!"

Kate was not willing to be bullied by anyone, especially her sister and the maid.

"Lady Kate, you cannot convict me of killing Alan without evidence. I only called Anna and told her that Alan was sick. I do not know what happened between you and her. It is none of my business…" Amy sobbed.

Ignoring Amy's cries, Kate got up, then walked to her bedroom and slammed the door.

After Amy heard the door shut, she wiped her fake tears away, then cursed to herself, "You forced me to turn against you, Kate!"

In Triton, John walked into Joseph's office, "Lord, I… I…"

"Don't hesitate! Just tell me!" Joseph demanded.

"And… Lady Kate killed Alan, then Mr. White slapped her in the street," John had seen the report all over the internet while Joseph was in a meeting. He was unsure if it was true, so he called Henry for confirmation before telling Joseph.

Hearing that Alan was killed, Joseph was outraged, "Mr. Leo slapped Lady Kate…"

John began to say something, but Joseph held up his hand and roared, "SHUT UP!"

He was not in the mood to hear what John had to say, he pulled out his mobile phone and immediately called the Smith mansion.

"Lord Joseph…" Ricky trembled when he heard Joseph's voice.

Amy was in the kitchen, but she ran out excitedly when she heard Ricky. She stood by his side, waiting for him to tell Joseph everything.

"What has happened there?" Joseph's cold voice frightened henry.

He stammered, not sure how to tell his boss about the situation. At last, he managed, "Lord Joseph, Amy knows what happened. She is right by my side; I will have her tell you."

Ricky rushed to pass the phone to Amy.

Amy shook as she took the phone from Ricky, "Lord Joseph, this is Amy. This morning, Kate and Alan were playing…"

Joseph let Amy tell him every detail without saying a word. When she was finished, she asked, "Lord Joseph, are you listening?"

She wanted some kind of response belittling Kate, but Joseph hung up. She put the phone down, hesitantly, "Lord Joseph did not say a word. I don't know what he is thinking…"

Ricky frowned, "Lady Kate is Lord Joseph's wife. You blamed her without knowing the truth. What if Lord Joseph is angry?"

Amy felt a little nervous, but she quickly calmed down and said, "I am just telling the truth. Alan did indeed die in her arms."

"It was bizarre, though. I don't understand why Alan died so suddenly…" Ricky was also confused but had no evidence to support he was killed.

When Ricky walked away, Amy sat down on the sofa, contemplating what to do next.

After Kate got back to her bedroom, she crawled on to her bed. Her mind continued to replay the scene where Leo hit her, she would be traumatized by anyone who hit her, but it was her father; she didn't understand. Kate gently touched the tender spot on her head and cried out with emotional and physical pain.

Joseph was trying to call Kate, but she didn't want to talk to anyone. However, he continued calling, so she finally answered, "Hello?"

"Kate, you are really something! You couldn't even be nice to the dog!" Joseph scolded.

Facing Joseph's accusation, Kate felt even more pain in her heart. She didn't want to fight with him, so she replied, "If you called just to lecture me, I am sorry, but you don't need to bother because I will not listen anyway."

Kate had hoped since Joseph was kind to her that he might not condemn her so easily. However, she was wrong; everything remained the same; he didn't even try to find out the truth. He still cared more about Anna and her dog.

Not knowing what to say, Kate started laughing. She was so upset at herself for believing she might have taken Anna's place in Joseph's heart.
