Chapter 126 Dobby's Betrayal

Daisy thought Kate had made a valid point, "Okay, you may be right. She cannot do anything evil without her mother's help."

Anna gasped Kate's hands suddenly. She stood up and hugged her, crying, "You are so kind. Can I call you sister?"

Kate hesitated, she was indeed Anna's half-sister, but it made her feel uncomfortable.

During Kate's hesitation, Anna cried, "I will listen to you. I will stay at home and not go anywhere."

Anna then turned to Daisy and said, "I will not make you worry about me, either. You said that I was horrible before. I promise I won't be again."

"Okay, don't bother Kate. Go back to your room!" Daisy did not have any patience to deal with Anna and her drama.

Anna nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to my room now."

"You seem so obedient now. Why were you so evil before?" Daisy cursed, "Even though you appear to be honest and respectful now, you are still a villain in my eyes."

"Sorry," Anna bowed and walked back to her bedroom, which startled Kate.

Anna used to be arrogant in front of Daisy, but even when Daisy yelled at her, she didn't respond. Kate had doubts about Anna's amnesia, except now Anna was not acting as she had in the past. In Kate's opinion, if a person was pretending to have amnesia, there would be some flaws, but since she was acting so natural, even Kate began to believe her.

"Kate, whether she pretends to have amnesia or it is really amnesia, you have to be highly vigilant to her. Even if this vicious woman has amnesia, she may still have the thoughts of hurting you," Daisy reminded Kate repeatedly.

Kate nodded.

"Oh yes, why were you with Lord Joseph just now?" Daisy wasn't about to let Kate get away with not telling her.

Hearing Joseph's name, Kate frowned and told Daisy what happened.

"So, Lord Joseph has the intention to redeem himself," Daisy cautiously looked at Kate to see her response, but Kate looked angry. Daisy encouraged, "Kate, you might want to think about how Lord Joseph was a victim as well. If it weren't for being deceived by Anna from the beginning, you might be a happily married couple."

"If he likes me now because there are no more misunderstandings, then he doesn't sincerely like me," Kate tried not to get upset when she thought of how bad things were between them in the past. She didn't want to talk about it anymore, "It is late, and I need to rest. I have to go to the Wilson Group tomorrow."

At a fancy restaurant, Kate waited for Dobby to arrive.

"Hello, Lady Kate!" Thirty-year-old Dobby greeted her awkwardly.

Kate stood up and shook his hand, "Hello, Mr. Wilson! Please have a seat."

During the meal, Kate expressed her sincere thanks and advised she wanted to work with them again in the future.

Dobby nodded, saying, "Our collaboration yielded huge benefits, and of course, we would be glad to continue the relationship."

At the end of the meal, Dobby could help but ask, "Aren't you curious about why we choose to work with your company?"

"Of course! I've always been curious about it. As everyone knows, I refused Smith Group's help, so most people assumed that we were working against each other. You should have chosen Smith Group to maximize your benefits. So, yes, I do wonder," Kate replied.

Dobby smiled in embarrassment, "Okay, I can tell you the truth."

"Was it Joseph who asked you to work with my company?" Kate was startled and did not want to believe that the companies' win-win collaboration was arranged by someone else.

Seeing Kate's expression, Dobby quickly said, "Joseph asked me not to tell you. However, I know you were married before, and so I think you should understand what he has done for you."

Kate didn't know what to say. To other people, it seemed as if Joseph's silent contribution was a kind gesture, and she was lucky to have his help, but to Kate, it felt like a slap in the face.

After saying goodbye to Dobby, Kate drove directly to her office. She had sat thinking for a long time when Max knocked on her door, "Are you not feeling well? You look pale. If you need to go home and rest, please do so. Our work with Wilson Group is near completion, so I can handle the rest of the work."

Kate took a deep breath and stood up and said, "Okay, please call me if anything happens. I am going to the Smith Group."

"Okay…" Max replied and was curious as to why Kate was going to Smith Group.

After Dobby walked out of the hotel, he called Samuel, "I told Kate about the collaboration as you requested."

"Well done! You will get a reward!" Samuel said with a big smile on his face. He was proud of himself for ruining Joseph's plan.

"But after Joseph finds out, I will definitely be crushed. I have to think of a way to save myself," Dobby said fearfully.

Samuel chuckled, "You don't need to be afraid of him. He won't be president of Smith Group for much longer."

"Really?" Dobby said swiftly, "Without Smith Group, he is nothing."

"Let's wait and see, but I am sure Smith Group will soon have a new boss," Samuel said confidently.

Dobby felt a bit of assurance, "Okay, then I will wait for the good news!"

Kate was voluntarily looking for Joseph, which made him happy. He was glad to have her in the same office; it felt like everything was the same as before, except for their relationship.

"Please sit," Joseph stood up to usher her politely and had John make them coffee.

"Don't be so polite!" Kate refused to sit, and bluntly asked, "Do you know Dobby?"

Joseph signaled to John to leave the office. He questioned, "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

"Are you pretending not to know? You arranged for Wilson Group to work with the White Group. You do not remember making such a big contribution to my company."

"Dobby told you?" Joseph asked, honestly.
