Chapter 123 To Smith Mansion

"What are you doing?" Rowen questioned, not knowing what was happening.

Joseph replied coldly, "How do you expect two women to carry you?"

Rowen understood and stopped resisting.

"Wow! Joseph is such a caring man!" Lisa commented. Joseph's behavior after the accident showed Lisa a different side to him.

Kate was also surprised by his actions, though she continued to act uninterested in covering up her true feelings.

The moment everyone stepped out of the elevator, Joseph lifted Kate into his arms with a swift natural movement. Kate was too shocked to react, and before she knew it, she was in the passenger's seat of his car. She tried to open the door, but it was locked.

Joseph said something with Lisa through the car window; then, she waved goodbye to Kate.

Rowen wanted to stop them from leaving, but he was taken to another car by the two men.

Lisa got in the car and said, "Don't worry, Joseph will take care of her."

Rowen asked, frowning, "Didn't they get a divorce?"

"Yes, but Joseph has been acting differently. I don't know what to say, but I am sure that Kate can't just forget the man she loved for so many years. Someone created obstacles for them, and so there was such confusion. However, now that everything has been rectified, they may get back together. Part of me hopes that they will get another chance," Lisa said. She was conflicted though; she was upset when she saw Kate hurt; but on the other hand, she hated to see her suffering and to give up on the man she loved.

After hearing what Lisa said, Rowen felt discouraged. He was happy to see Kate after such a long time apart, but then finding out Kate still had feelings for Joseph worried him.

Joseph started the engine and drove off into the darkness with Kate next to him even though Kate was yelling, "Joseph, stop! I want to get out of the car!"

She yelled even louder when she saw that he wasn't going toward her house.

Joseph looked ahead and replied to her in a low voice, "The Smith mansion is also your home."

"No! It's not my home. We got a divorce!" Kate snarled. She thought of jumping out of the car, but the door was locked, and Joseph was driving too fast.

"Have you looked at the items in the box I sent to you?" Joseph changed the topic.

Kate hadn't thought about it until Joseph mentioned it. She said, "I took the box only because of Mom… Cassie gave it to me. I respect her, so I didn't want to look rude. Otherwise, I would not have accepted it."

Joseph wasn't angry about Kate's reply; he knew he treated her horribly in the past. He calmly said, "I know whatever I say now will only seem insincere to you, but I…"

Kate's phone rang, interrupting Joseph. She quickly answered, "Hi, Lisa!"

"I was kidnapped. Call the police!" Kate said as she looked over at Joseph.

Joseph frowned, but he did not intend to stop the car.

"Kidnapped? Are you kidding?" Lisa asked anxiously, thinking that Joseph had kicked her out of the car, and someone picked her up.

Though Kate was angry, she did not want Lisa to worry, "You overestimated a certain someone. He isn't taking me home; he is taking me to his house."

"Mm…That means you are safe now," Lisa understood Joseph's intention immediately.

Kate was angry with how calm Lisa was; she was about to argue with her when Lisa hung up. Kate stared at her phone and debating on calling back to tell Lisa exactly what she thought.

Joseph smiled slyly and said, "Lisa is so clever!"

"Don't think you can trap me! I will do whatever I need to so that I can escape from your home!"

Joseph was afraid that she might try to escape, so when he pulled up to the gate, he ordered the security guard to reset the passcode.

Kate stared at Joseph and cursed him, "You are so mean!"

He wants to trap me here. I need to figure out a way to escape. Kate thought to herself.

While she was plotting, Joseph opened the car door and picked her up from the passenger seat.

"Joseph put me down!" Kate yelled.

"Don't move!" Joseph warned her.

Perhaps it was due to him bullying her before, but when she saw the fierceness in his eyes, she was frightened. She became quiet and stared at him.

Amy ran out excitedly after hearing the car pull in the driveway. However, when she saw Kate in Joseph's arms, the joy on her face disappeared.

"Lord Joseph, why did you bring her here?"

When hearing Amy's voice, Kate, who was still struggling in Joseph's chest, instantly stopped moving. She turned around and looked at Amy with a smile, "Lord Joseph forcibly brought me home. I could not escape!"

Amy turned pale and did not speak, which gave Kate a sense of relief. She knew that when she lived there, Amy helped Anna frame her and was also to blame for her miscarriage. Even though Amy spoke up about Anna's crimes, Kate could still not forgive her.

Joseph carried her upstairs to the bedroom; Amy's heart broke as she watched.

It took a lot to drive her out of here. Why is she back here again? Amy thought and clenched her fist, staring at the bedroom door.
