Chapter 82 Get the Divorce Certificate

"Because of my family affairs. I hope you can understand."

"Family?" Albert asked.

Kate knew he was referring to Joseph, so she explained, "To assist with my father's company."

Albert felt bad for Kate and told her, "I am unwilling to accept your resignation for the work and benefits you can bring to me. But you…"

"Sorry, Albert. As I said, I hope you can understand," Kate apologized and walked out of his office.

Albert had no way to stop her. However, the moment she was gone, he called Joseph.

"Resign?" Joseph was somewhat surprised.

"You didn't know? I thought you two discussed it," Albert cautiously replied.

"It is okay, I get it," Joseph said and hung up.

Kate left Symantec and went directly back to the White mansion. She saw a black car parked in front of the house. She moaned when she realized it was one of Joseph's many vehicles.

As soon as she walked in the door, Kate demanded, "Why are you here?"

"You resigned?" Joseph asked directly.

"You were well-informed rather fast!" Kate guessed Albert told him. She asked Joseph, "What does it matter to you?"

"You really hate me, don't you?" Joseph asked, but he already knew the answer.

"How else should I feel? Am I supposed to love you?" Though she knew she still felt some love for him, she had to stop herself from saying it. After all, she was not going to repeat the past.

"Then what's your plan?" Joseph asked out of worry.

"To tell you the truth, I'm going to inherit White Group," Kate told him for no reason other than to annoy him, "Dora wanted Anna to take it over, but now all of her plans have failed. What a pity!"

Kate thought Joseph would be angry about her taking over the company. However, he surprised her; he gently said, "You don't know much about managing a company. It may be very difficult for you."

Though Joseph truly cared about her, she just assumed he was trying to down her abilities.

Kate refuted, "I can learn. No one is born knowing how to do things. As long as I study hard, I will do very well."

"I believe you can do it. Anyway, if you need my help, you can ask me at any time," Joseph said with a smile.

Help? Ask him? Did I hear that, right? Kate questioned and stared at him. However, no matter what Joseph said, she would always think he had evil intentions.

"By the way, if you sign the divorce agreement, we can get the divorce certificate as soon as possible. I may be swamped and not have time to deal with it," Kate said impatiently.

Joseph did not reply to her immediately. He smiled again and said, "We can go now. I have the agreement in my car."

When they went to the marriage registry for the first time, it was to get their marriage certificate. At that time, Joseph would not even look at her, and if he did, his eyes were full of bitterness. Even though Kate was forced to marry him, she loved him and thought things would be better in the future. She believed they would cook together; Joseph would listen to her, respect her family, and possibly resolve the misunderstandings. However, after two years, everything had changed but not for the better. She gained nothing in the end but not regret marrying Joseph.

"Why aren't you smiling?" Kate teased on purpose.

Smiling? Joseph asked himself. When he looked at Kate and saw the smile on her face, he was crushed.

"It's a gratifying decision. You finally don't have to wake up next to your enemy anymore. Do you remember when we came to get the marriage certificate? You had such an attitude and refused to look at me," Kate said.

Joseph looked at the certificate, and the word divorce was like a knife piercing him. Their marriage was ending, and he admitted that he did not like her and only married her to seek revenge for Anna. During the two years of their marriage, he treated her horribly, and she had plenty of reasons to be happy about the divorce. Yet, Joseph wanted to tell her that he fell in love with her after he knew the truth. He wanted to start over, and have a normal life where they did things as a couple, like shopping and cooking. But, Kate would not give him the opportunity.

Their marriage ended today. Joseph admitted he did not like her and married her just to revenge for Anna at the beginning. So, in the past two years, he mistreated her. She had enough reasons to be happy about the divorce now. However, Joseph also wanted to say that he gradually fell in love with her after the misunderstandings between them eliminated. He wanted to start all over again and get along well with her.

"You see, this is a divorce certificate. There is only one word different from the marriage certificate. We have been through a lot!"

"You should be happy about it, though, because now you will have a new life and be free to marry anyone you want," Kate reminded him.

Joseph squinted his eyes and said, "That is complete nonsense!"

"So, what? You cannot bully me now. I've divorced you, and my grandma is gone. You cannot threaten me now. I'm not afraid of you!"

Joseph did not know how to answer her. He was mortified at how terribly he had treated Kate during their marriage.

Seeing him not reacting, Kate felt as if she might have pushed him too far. She smiled, "It is all done. I will be leaving now."

After taking several steps, Kate suddenly remembered she had something for Joseph. She took a cheque out of her purse and walked toward him, "Sorry, I nearly forgot about this. It is the cheque you gave him before; it is all here. I never spent a penny."

Joseph looked at the cheque and did not understand, "Why are you returning it to me?"

"I asked for it at that time so that my grandma could have the best medical care, but now, she…No, you actually used it to buy Dora the management right to White Group. Now, I am in charge, so I am giving it back to you."

Joseph looked at her and remained silent.

Kate felt very uncomfortable having Joseph staring at her, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
