Chapter 54 Did He Kill Grandma?

Anxious about what Samuel had said, Kate asked, "How do you know Joseph went to the hospital that day? Did you see him? Or do you have evidence?"

"Let's have dinner first, okay? I don't want us to eat dinner in a bad mood. I am starving," Samuel wanted to make sure he could keep Kate with him as long as possible.

"Sorry, I just wanted to know it now," but Kate didn't push the topic.

"Well, I know these are your favorite dishes. If you don't eat, I will not tell you!" Samuel threatened.

Kate quickly began to eat, and after a few bites, she said, "I am full. Can you tell me now?"

Samuel shook his head helplessly.

Seeing his reaction, she asked again, "Can you tell me now?"

"Of course, I will keep my promise.," Samuel passed to her a photo. He pointed at the date on the right corner and said, "Your grandma passed away in the afternoon on this day, but Joseph was there in that morning too. Do you think it is a coincidence?"

Kate's face turned pale and her heart started to pound.

"Kate, it isn't really evidence. After all, the doctor said your grandma died of natural causes. But…"

"But what?"

"But we cannot exclude the possibility that he paid off the doctor. It wouldn't be difficult for him to do."

"Yes, I think he would do everything for Anna," Kate whispered

He argued with his mother and swore to divorce me the night before my grandma died, and he also threatened me with my grandma. Then the next day, grandma was gone. Everything happened so quickly! I have reason to believe he is a killer. Kate thought to herself.

Seeing that Kate was hurt, Samuel thought he would comfort her while stirring up trouble, "How can he thrive in the business field? He has great ambition, so Grandpa appreciates him. However, he is evil and Grandpa worries that he never follows the rules, that is why I was asked to come back and co-manage the Smith Group."

"How did you get these photos?" Kate wanted to gather more photos as evidence so that she could confront Joseph.

"Joseph has many fans, one of them uploaded them on the Internet. I took a screenshot when I found them to show you," Samuel said. He let out a deep sigh then continued, "I am not sure that Joseph did it or not. You would be the one who knows better about him. After all, you have lived with him for the last two years."

Kate was lost in thought, replaying everything Joseph ever threatened her with. After a long while, she looked Samuel in the eyes and seriously whispered, "For the two years we have been married, he has threatened with hurting my grandma. Then finally, he… he did it… my grandma…"

Samuel rubbed her back to comfort her and said, "Don't be afraid, Kate. I will protect you and not allow anyone to hurt you."

Kate smiled at him in embarrassment and said, "Sorry."

"I can take you home," Samuel stood up. He grabbed his coat and was about to follow her but Kate put her hand up.

"No, thank you. I'll take a taxi home," She wanted some time to think and calm down before she arrived home.

The nightlife in the city was just beginning, people were coming and going all around Kate as she waited for her taxi. However, Kate was not in the mood to be around anyone. She stood close to a building and waited patiently, thinking about her grandma's death and her relationship with Joseph.

He killed my grandma, I should hate him as I did before. Though he has been treating me well recently, I should not forgive him. He killed my grandma and no matter how much I loved him, he is a murderer.

Joseph did not see Kate when he arrived home, so he asked, "Where is Kate?"

"Sorry, I did not see her. She has not come home from work yet," Amy replied while closely observing Joseph's expression.

He sat on the sofa, waiting for her to get home. He was confused by his own actions but he had no talked to her since the night before.

Why did I treat her like that? It was only puppy love, was I jealous of that? Joseph thought to himself.

"Lady Kate is back!" Amy yelled.

Joseph raised his head immediately and saw her in a beige skirt walking toward him. He could not help staring at her, he hadn't noticed how beautiful she was until recently. However, Kate ignored him and tried to go up the stairs until Joseph stopped her.

"What are you doing?" She asked impatiently.

"Why are you getting home so late?" He questioned.

"It's none of your business. I can come back at any time I want." She pushed him away and went up the stairs to her room.

Joseph was irritated at the fact Kate was being rude and ignoring him.

Seeing this, Amy quickly said, "Lord Joseph, I will get you a glass of water."

"No need. Go ask if she had dinner," Joseph ordered.

"O… Okay, sir!" Amy replied.

Joseph then sat back on the sofa. After he calmed down, he realized he was caring about her.

"Lady Kate, Lord Joseph wanted me to ask if you have had dinner," Amy asked.

Kate was about to get in the shower when she heard Amy. She paused before answering because she couldn't understand why he would ask, "Yes, I have had dinner."

"Okay," Amy said, but then murmured to herself, "I would have asked if Joseph didn't request me to. I would be happy if you starve to death."

When Kate walked into her bedroom after her shower, Joseph was sitting on the sofa with a cigar in his hand. She saw his attractive face and couldn't help but take an extra-long look. Suddenly, Joseph turned and looked straight into her eyes. Kate became both nervous and embarrassed, she quickly blinked and wiped her eyes, pretending that they were sore.

Seeing this, Joseph smiled at her and said, "Why watch me secretly? You can just look at me if you want."

"Well… There are many reasons for looking at you. Dislike, hate, you know, something like that," Kate snarled.

Joseph sensed that something was wrong, he asked, "Is work not going smoothly?"

"Did you go to the hospital on the day of my grandma's death?" She blurted out. She planned to investigate before asking him, but she could not control herself.
