When Dora heard Leo yelling at her and not giving in, she couldn't handle his accusations. She walked toward him and whispered, "You could not control your desires and seduced me. Since you put me in this position, you are responsible for me!"
Leo suddenly blushed and then turned his head the other way, "Don't say such things here! It is disgraceful!"
"Disgraceful? Why don't we walk out holding hands? Then all of your company's staff could see how you fooled them!" Dora cared a lot about her dignity, yet she also took great pleasure in trampling on others. She despised Leo, and if it were not for Flora's wealth, she would not have put up with all of the insults and humiliation for so many years as his lover.
"Dora, now Kate is working here. If she sees you, it will cause a lot of trouble," Leo mentioned Kate, hoping that Dora would be scared.
"Kate is working at White Group?" Dora was shocked at the news. She grabbed Leo's collar and yelled, "You forgot what you promised me? Have you forgotten what we did to her? Leo White, I finally understand that you are a true snob. You will use anyone if it is convenient. Now that you think Anna can't do the job, you are going to use Kate!"
Both Dora and Leo knew what she said was correct. Leo always prioritized profits over everything, including his family.
"Let go of me!" Leo pushed Dora's hand away, "Don't threaten me with the past. We are in the same boat; if you tell, you will not escape punishment either."
"That is true, but have you ever thought that if I were to tell, you would lose everything, including your daughter?" Dora chuckled.
Leo knew how vicious Dora was and the consequences of aggravating her. He sighed impatiently, then calmly said, "Now that Kate and Joseph are divorced. I have to be very careful."
"What? They divorced?" Dora was overjoyed. She patted Leo's leg and shouted,
"My prayers have been answered. Kate was finally abandoned!"
Leo frowned and reminded her, "Kate is not as weak as she was before. You'd better not to antagonize her!"
"Should I be afraid of her?" Dora grinned ear to ear, thinking of what Anna had achieved the night before.
"Leo White, as you are such a realistic man, don't blame us for being heartless!"
"Holy shit, Dora! Just leave my office!" Leo did not understand what she meant and assumed she was talking nonsense.
After Dora walked out of Leo's office, she went looking for Kate. She saw her talking to the sales supervisor.
Dora shouted, "Kate White, come here!"
Kate walked out of the sales department and glared at Dora, "Please behave yourself in public."
"Wow, you really are just like a leader!" Dora looked Kate up and down, "Even if you are in charge of White Group, you will only make it worse without Joseph's support!"
"It's none of your business. This is my company, so you don't need to worry about it," Kate smiled at Dora. She knew Dora would be irritated and unhappy about her taking over White Group.
"Yes, you are right, it is none of my business. And, as Joseph's ex-wife, I am sure you don't need to know that he and Anna slept together last night," Dora announced proudly.
Kate's face turned pale, and her heart felt as if it was shattered into a million pieces.
Dora was delighted about her reaction. She added, "I probably should not have told you. After all, you are just his ex-wife. He has the right to pursue a new life. He has always loved Anna; I am sure they will be happy!"
As scenes of Joseph and Anna living happily ever after played in Kate's head, she clenched her fists and tried to block Dora's words out.

At Smith Group, John passed a folder of documents to Joseph, "Sir, this is a copy of the timeline for our latest product. Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions."
John noticed that Joseph did seem to be himself; he was sitting at his desk with his head down. John asked, "Lord Joseph, are you okay? Do you need me to call a doctor?"
"How is White Group doing?" Joseph worried when he thought of Kate taking it over.
"No big changes. Remain stable."
"Prioritize White Group if we have suitable resources."
"But Lord Joseph, your grandpa always said..."
"Do you need me to tell you again?" Joseph interrupted him.
"Okay, I got it; I know what to do," John nodded and rushed out of the office.

Two women sat across from each other in a small café. Dora smiled, and Cassie snarled the entire time. Cassie would never have met with Dora if she hadn't said she had something important to tell her.
"Please, just tell me. I don't want to be around you any longer than I need to be," Cassie barked.
Dora knew that Cassie hated her, so she said, "I don't know whether Joseph has told you or not, but he had made up with Anna. They slept together last night; he was Anna's first. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask your son, or ask the house staff. I will not lie to you about my daughter's innocence," Dora said confidently.
Cassie was speechless; she picked up her bag to leave.
"Don't slander my daughter for seducing a married man. Joseph and Kate are no longer a couple; they got a divorce. So, it is legal for Anna and your son to be together."
"What?" Cassie was both shocked and angry.
