Chapter 118 No One Will Dare

Kate thought her heart was going to beat out of her chest.

Dora smiled at Leo, "You need to ask your dad! After all, he was the one who did everything!"

So, my mother's death was not caused by illness? There must be more to it than that. Kate thought to herself.

Kate turned to Leo and snarled, "The reason why you are so obedient is that she had something on you?"

Leo lowered his head and whispered, "Your mother was such a good wife, I'm sorry I failed her ..."

"Don't… You don't deserve her forgiveness!" Kate's eyes filled with tears. She squeezed her hands tight to refrain from crying. Flora always told her to face everything bravely and not to let the heartless person see her pain.

"I know ... I was overwhelmed by guilt after your mother died, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get her back ..."

"So, you just decided to also kill my grandma?" Kate asked furiously, "What's next? Am I your next target, my dear father?"

Kate never imagined that her spineless dad should be so vicious and terrible.

"I'm sorry, Kate. I don't deserve or expect your forgiveness, I just hope you can take charge of White Group…" Leo stated.

"My mother founded White Group, and I will change the name to Flora Group when I take over. It is none of your business. You don't deserve anything!" Kate shouted over the sirens outside.

The sound of the sirens caused Dora to panic. She fell to the ground and cried, "Don't arrest me! Don't arrest me!"

Leo remained calm and waited for the police.

Once both Leo and Dora were arrested and taken out of the house in handcuffs, Kate fell to the floor.

Joseph followed the police to the station so that he could give a statement and provide evidence.

Daisy ran downstairs when the commotion quieted. She hugged Kate and assured her, "Don't be afraid. I am here with you and no one will dare to bully you again!"

For a week, Joseph took the time to deal with things for Kate. Leo confessed to his crimes and in the beginning, Dora defended herself but then plead guilty when she was faced with the evidence.

Kate was relieved but also felt uncomfortable because she was still related to Leo, even though she could not look at him as her father. She thought all of the grudges she had, needed to be left in the past.

When everything had calmed down, Kate took Flora's favorite flower, Lily of the Valley to her grave. She knew that her mother wouldn't want to see her crying, so she choked back her tears. After she shared her feelings with her mother, Kate always felt better because she knew that no matter what, Flora was with her.

"I don't know if can make White Group better, but I will try my best. And, I plan on changing the name to Flora Group. I know I might just be fooling myself to think a name change will make a difference but at least I will not be disgusted each time I mention the name. I know you will say that your family name is White so I wondering if I should change my name."

Tears began to fill Kate's eyes, "As a child, when I introduced myself I proudly said my name is Kate Flora White, after my mother and my father. When I got older my classmates admired that I had two loving parents…"

Kate couldn't hold back the tears, she quickly wiped them away and smiled, "Mom, I didn't cry. I won't tell you unhappy things anymore; only exciting and joyful ones."

Standing up, Kate looked at her grandma's headstone. She didn't have the strength to talk with her so she quickly apologized and walked away sobbing.

Kate was crying hysterically when a car honked at her. She moved further to the side of the road, not looking back but the car stopped and the man grabbed her arm. Kate struggled to get away until she saw who it was.

"It's going to rain. I'll take you home." Joseph said, holding her hand.

Kate replied coldly, "I'll take a taxi!"

She had been polite to him when he was helping her to deal with the police. It didn't seem right that she would be so cold with but Kate couldn't pretend to be nice after dealing with everything.

"That's perfect! I am your driver, just don't forget to pay me!" Joseph smiled.

Kate was about to argue with him when it began to rain. Joseph pulled her close and covered her head with his coat. He knew she was probably going to refuse, so he just held her tighter. Kate did try to struggle away but failed and Joseph ended up almost dragging her to the car.
