Chapter 98 I'm Yours

"Who took the initiative to climb into my son's bed? Who slept with my son while he was drunk? If you two had a consensual and willing relationship, would you feel mistreated?" Cassie criticized as she walked up to the group.

"She is right!" Noelle supported Cassie.

"You...all of you are just bullying me!" Anna cried and ran away.

"Bullying? I think it is kind that we're not beating her!" Noelle clenched her teeth angrily.

Cassie thought that Joseph, Kate, and Noelle would be having an excellent time together, but then she heard Anna screaming and crying. So, she wanted to ensure the situation didn't get too out of control.

Kate's palms were sweating. She thought she could ignore her feelings for Joseph, but when she heard what happened that night between Anna and Joseph, she felt disgusted. It was also evident from Joseph's reaction that he didn't want any responsibility for the situation.

"Don't you love her? Since she slept with you, why not take some responsibility?" Kate didn't really want to know the answer, but she couldn't stop herself from questioning Joseph. She didn't want to look like she was on Anna's side, but she couldn't believe that the man she loved was so irresponsible.

"Kate ..." Cassie interrupted her, "What are you talking about? How could Joseph like that bitch. He knows Anna's true character now and wouldn't marry her."

"Mom, whoever he marries in the future has nothing to do with me. I just think he should be a responsible man," Kate put her head down and calmly walked out of the garden.

"Joseph, what are you waiting for? Go after Kate!" Cassie worried that Samuel would jump at the chance to comfort Kate.

Joseph was in a daze and didn't move, so Noelle anxiously yelled, "Joseph!"

But before Joseph could take a step, Samuel ran to catch up with Kate.

"Damn it, that bastard will never give up on his evil desires!" Cassie barked.

The night breeze blew on Kate's cheeks as she walked along the tree-lined road. Samuel followed her but deliberately kept a distance between them so that he would not upset her further.

The trees created shadows from the street lights on the road, and Kate didn't notice a pothole. She stumbled and nearly fell, but Samuel rushed to catch her.

"Are you all right, Kate?" Samuel asked.

Kate looked at him, wondering why he was there.

He said, "I was worried about you, so I followed you."

"Thank you," Kate pushed him away to keep a distance between them.

"I'm okay," Kate said with a smile.

"Don't hide it, I am not blind," Samuel grinned.

"Your hands were tight fists the entire time Anna was talking, and there was no expression on your face. It was easy to see how much you care."

Kate didn't want to talk about the situation. She felt embarrassed and began to blame herself, "I need to go home."

"Kate, you just heard that Joseph and Anna have..."

"Don't mention them again, okay?" She interrupted impatiently. Seeing a taxi passing by, she flagged it down and got in, leaving Samuel frowning on the side of the road.

What is so good about Joseph that Kate is sad after divorcing him? Samuel wondered.

Vincent sat in the main hall with a serious look on his face after all the guests left. He told Cassie, "Contact the media to report that Joseph and Kate have got a divorce!"

Cassie was anxious when she heard her father's order, "Dad, there are so many misunderstandings between Joseph and Kate that lead to their divorce. But, the truth is they are very loving toward each other."

Jenny didn't expect to hear that they were divorced; she gasped when she heard. Gina turned to her and sneered, "Noelle spoke to Kate. It turned out that she didn't think of herself as a family member, so she didn't pay much attention to picking a gift for Father."

"Enough, isn't this bad enough already?" Cassie hated hearing anyone saying bad things about Kate.

"Do you know what Dora told me ?" Vincent said.

Cassie should have known that Dora said something or else Vincent wouldn't have been so angry. She could guess what Dora told him, so after taking a deep breath; she said, "Dad, you know better than us, what kind of person Dora is. I am not prejudiced against them, but they are evil. If Anna marries into this family, I am afraid it will turn into a total disaster!"

"I don't think so, Cassie," Gina interrupted to express her opinion, "After all, Joseph and Anna love each other, which is beneficial for family harmony!"

"But Joseph now ..."

"Okay!" Vincent didn't have the patience to listen to them arguing and said bluntly, "Let Anna live in the Smith family for a while. During this time, we can watch her closely, and then we can make a conclusion!"

Vincent was the head of the family. Even though Cassie had a different opinion, she did dare to challenge her father's plan.

Gina sneered before she left, "Anna is more pleasing, and after all, she won Joseph's heart before."

After Gina slammed the door, Jenny walked over and sighed, "Why did Joseph divorce Kate? They were such a lovely couple. It is a real pity!"

"I'll never let the bitch into my home, nor let her be my daughter-in-law!" Being so angry and sad, Cassie said confidently.

Jenny didn't know the details of the relationship between Joseph, Kate, and Anna. She only knew that Joseph loved Anna, and if they want to be together, no one could stop them. She couldn't give an opinion, but she did feel bad for Kate.

It was very late when Joseph arrived home. Amy was sitting on the sofa, waiting for him. When he walked in, she said, "Lord Joseph, welcome home."

Joseph frowned and didn't answer her.

Amy rushed to his side in a panic, "Lord, Miss Anna is in your bedroom!"

Joseph stopped and shouted at Amy angrily, "Who allowed her to come?"

"It's was not me ..." Amy lowered her head in fear, whispering, "But she said ... she said that she was already yours, and will be your wife in the future…"
