Chapter 64 Kate Fell

"So, you admit it?" Joseph confirmed.

"What if I do not admit to it? You will not believe me anyway. Is there any reason for me to say anything? You just want me to agree to divorce you as soon as possible so that you can be with Anna," Kate assumed Joseph had a role in the situation as well.

If not, why did it happen when he was on a business trip?

Joseph restrained his anger and said coldly, "Wait for me to come home!"

"Even when you get home, I will not admit…I…" Kate tried to defend herself, but before she could, Joseph hung up on her.

Kate threw her phone on the bed and screamed out loud. She was frustrated at the thought that he would not listen to her. She stayed in her room the entire afternoon yelling and crying when she calmed down; she realized she was hungry and walked out of her room.

"Lady Kate, Anna is here," Amy told her.

Kate looked around and did not see Anna, so she assumed Amy was lying.

"She is in Lord Joseph's study," Amy added and watched Kate's reaction.

Spinning around, Kate was going to confront Anna, but she stopped suddenly. She knew that no matter what she did, she would be Joseph's wife, but he would always love Anna, and though she was not allowed in his study, Anna was. Feeling discouraged, Kate started to walk back toward the stairs, but Anna shouted behind her, "Kate, you are responsible for killing my dog!"

Anna strutted down the hallway as if she owned the house.

"You have no reason for being here," Kate said coldly.

"You dare to kick me out?" Anna laughed and stared fiercely at Kate, "You should remember that I am supposed to be Joseph's wife, not you. He has never loved you."

Kate didn't argue with her because she knew Anna was right.

Seeing Kate speechless, Anna laughed even louder, "Even if you don't agree to divorce Joseph, he will abandon you one day, just like your father did to your mother. One day I will be Joseph's wife, and even have his child."

Anna said mean and hateful things just to upset Kate, but it still hurt. What she had said would likely happy, but Kate could not show her weakness.

Kate did not care that what she said about her relationship with Joseph, but she was outraged when she heard Anna speak badly of her mother, "Pardon?"

"I'm just telling the truth. Even if you ask me thousands of times, I will repeat the exact same thing. Didn't your mother ever teach you that if a man does not like you, no matter what you do, it will be hopeless? You better divorce Joseph as soon as possible, or else you will lose miserably."

Anna knew that Kate was irritated by her mentioning Flora, so she continued to antagonize her.

"Are you okay, Amy?" Anna tried to help Amy but stared at Kate, "You want to fight with me? Okay, anytime!"

The two women then began to slap each other. Anna yelled, but Kate was quiet, only defending herself against Anna's attack.

Amy stood by watching; she hoped Anna would win. Ricky pretended not to see anything; he did not want to be involved; he just wanted Joseph to be happy.

"Ouch!!!" Kate suddenly screamed out. Anna was startled and stopped with her fist over Kate, who was lying on the ground, sweating.

Anna looked down at her, laughing, "You think you feel pain? I am sure you hit me harder, now it's payback!"

She pulled Kate's hair with all her strength, but Kate didn't reach to stop her, she grabbed her stomach and cried, "My belly… the cramps… it is aching… leave me alone!"

"No way!" Anna acted as if she was going to help Kate, but then she said, "Where does it hurt? Let me help you…"

Then she punched Kate's lower stomach multiple times.

Kate was in so much pain; she felt as if she was going to pass out. She continued to cry and scream in pain as Anna hit her over and over.

It wasn't until Amy screamed and pointed at Kate's legs that Anna stopped, "Lady Anna, Kate… Kate… Kate is bleeding!"

Anna looked at Kate's pants; they were covered in blood. She stammered, "Why is she bleeding? I only hit her in the stomach. Is she… pregnant?"

"There is no time to guess whether or not she is pregnant. We have to get her to the hospital right away. If she dies, we will be in trouble," Amy advised.

"No, I want her to die. I will not save her," Anna cackled, looking at the blood.

Amy looked at Anna, realizing how horrible she was made he tremble.

"But…But Lady Anna, if something happens to her, Lord Joseph will punish us. And, since he has been so kind to her lately, I am afraid…" Amy stuttered.

Amy's plea made the situation even worse. Anna snapped with jealousy, "It is because Joseph changed his attitude toward her that I want her to die!"

"But…" Amy did not know how to persuade Anna, so she was thankful when Ricky walked in and said, "Lady Anna, Lady Kate is your sister. How can you not save her and let her die?"

Ricky walked out to call an ambulance.

"You are really a kind person," Anna scoffed at him, "If Joseph asks you what happened, how will you answer? Will you say I did it? You are so ungrateful. Don't forget you get a lot of benefits because of me."
