Chapter 92 My House

Within five minutes, Henry appeared in the garage, "Lady Anna, please get in the car."

Anna looked at Joseph's cold expression; she felt as if he was persecuting her. With tears in her eyes, she sighed, "Joseph, don't be angry with me. I will not disturb you again. I promise to stay away from you…"

Joseph did not say anything else to Anna, he told Henry where to take her and walked out of the garage without looking back.

Tears streamed down Anna's face as she watched Joseph silently walking away.

After Leo found out that Kate declined resources from Smith Group, he was so furious that he rushed out of Dora's villa. She used the excuse that he was having difficulty walking to go with him.

"I was only away from work for one day, and you created so much trouble for me!" Leo shouted at Kate as he forced his way into her office, "You think we can develop further without their help? You are so naïve!"

Kate knew she could not escape from Leo's wrath, so she calmly replied, "You always tell me to count on myself and not on others. If we rely on Smith Group forever, we will end up losing everything one day. We are nothing more than beggars!"

"You..." Leo swung his cane as if he was going to hit Kate.

Dora stood by quietly watching the entire scene; she was overjoyed.

"Dad, you haven't apologized to me for slapping me before. Now, you want to beat me again?" Kate kept her distance, but she was just like her mother, not afraid.

Leo looked down at his legs, then put his cane back on the ground, "Kate, you apologize to Joseph tomorrow and beg him to continue supporting us. Otherwise…"

"Otherwise, what?" Kate stared at him and was determined not to back down.

"Kate White, do not push me to beat you!"

"You think you can beat me whenever you wish just because you are my father?" Kate asked, "You are not qualified to be a father at all. You have never cared about me!"

Leo felt guilty hearing how Kate felt. She had kept her words in for a long time, and if Leo had not pushed her, she would have continued to keep her feelings inside.

"Kate, even though he doesn't seem to care about you, he is still your father. You are his daughter, and you should listen to him!" Dora helped to defend Leo.

Kate stared at Dora and asked coldly, "Who permitted you to come in here?"

"I..." Dora was speechless and turned to Leo for help.

"Kate, I know you are not happy with Dora, but you should think about me. After all, she is my wife, and I am disabled. I need someone by my side to take care of me…"

"I had Daisy hire someone to take care of you. You don't need to worry about it," Kate replied, not giving him a chance to say anything more.

"If you want Dora to take care of you, you can move to her house!" Kate snapped.

Dora was aggravated, she questioned, "How can you interfere with our relationship? I will be with my husband. Wherever he is, I will be with him. It is none of your business!"

"Yes, you can be with my father, and you are right, it is none of my business. It just will not be here!"

Dora never imagined that Kate would be so harsh. She turned to leave then cursed, "I will be back in my house after Anna marries Joseph! I will take everything from you!"

Leo glanced at Kate and sighed, "Why are you so different now? Is this the outcome you want?"

As Leo went to his bedroom, he was furious with Kate. He shouted as he got to the top of the stairs, "You think you are capable of managing the whole company? I guess you don't need me there."

Considering that he was angry and upset, Kate knew there was no point in arguing with her father. She swore to herself, "I will develop White Group with my own abilities. I will prove to the world that I am capable of inheriting my mother's company without Smith Group's help!"

"Lady Kate, I have some good news for you!" Max knocked on the door and walked in with a big smile on his face, "Wilson Group would like to work with us! Many companies want to work with them, but they chose up. It is a great surprise!"

"Really?" Kate was surprised and happy; her confidence increased immediately.

"Talk with Wilson Group and prioritize our collaboration. I need you to put all effort into this project."

"Yes, Lady Kate!" Max was upset about Kate's declining Smith Group's help, but when they gained a new partner, his confidence and respect for Kate grew.

"Max, you have worked as my father's assistant for many years. You must have excellent knowledge of the company. If I don't know something, I will ask you."

Kate seldom talked with Max, but they thought they might need to work closely in the future, she knew she needed to gain his trust.

During her break, Anna went to look for Kate. She was very familiar with White Group's offices and went directly to Kate's office.

"Come in, please!"

"Hi, Manager Kate!" Anna greeted her hypocritically.
