Chapter 225 Don't Go Back

"He devoted his whole life developing the Smith family but, in the end…." Cassie choked. She was so sad that she couldn't continue.

Jenny felt sorry too, "Yeah, he's such a good person, how could he…?"

Joseph didn't say anything as they walked out of the house, nor did he let go of Kate's hand. However, she could judge his anger by the way he was walking.

"Sorry…" Joseph calmly said after they got in the car. He leaned over and pulled her close to his chest.

Kate buried herself in his arms, and after a few minutes of silence, she asked apprehensively, "Do you truly believe Samuel took me to the hotel and was going to hurt me?"

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't want to put any more stress on you," Joseph tried to explain. He was furious that Samuel was going to hurt the woman he loved.

"I know," She could understand his good intentions but then she thought of what Daisy said and her heart twitched. Fortunately, Joseph saved her in time, or else she would not be able to face him.

"Samuel is quite proficient at overturning his mistakes. I planned to take him to the police station but I didn't have the evidence at the time. I took you to the hospital and asked Nick to guard him, then I decided to take him to my grandfather's house to interrogate him in front of the entire family," Joseph didn't want to let him get away easily. Besides, having Samuel, Gina, and Brian move out of the house, would make Samuel pay in more ways than one; a long-term punishment was better than a short-term one.

"Such punishment is a fatal blow to their family. However, that does mean Mom can move back to her home immediately. You did something great!" Kate exclaimed.

Joseph didn't expect Kate to understand his intentions. He asked hesitantly "Don't you think I'm a bit selfish of doing so?"

"No," She shook her head and said, "For people like them, taking away what they care about the most is the harshest punishment!"

Joseph held her and didn't let go for a long time.

Kate enjoyed the sense of safety he brought her. She didn't want to ask him about Smith Group, because she knew that even if he didn't want to, he wouldn't stand by and watch his father's dreams be destroyed. He would be overloaded at work though, she was upset about that.

When Joseph dropped her off at home, she looked at Daisy's again empty room.

She knew that no matter how evil Daisy became, she would be downhearted about their relationship.

Anna walked in holding vegetables in the air, with a smile she beamed, "Sister! I am cooking tonight! I will make a new recipe that I just learned."

"Okay, sounds wonderful," Kate replied. Seeing that Anna was in a good mood made her happy, "How is work going?"

"That's good!" Kate breathed a sigh of relief.

Anna looked at her and asked carefully, "Will sister Daisy come back in the future?"

Kate sensed the fear in Anna's tone. She knew that she's afraid that Daisy would come back and hurt her, "Don't worry, she won't be back again!"

What Daisy did was nasty, but Kate didn't have her investigated, which showed her the greatest charity. It was too dangerous though to keep someone who was so full of hatred in her life.

"Sister, you must feel sad now," Anna was full of concern.

"I am a bit. However, it is better than being in the dark and continuing to accept her lies. I would rather know the truth in the beginning."

"Yeah, the longer we lived together, the bigger the problem became," Anna secretly relieved, smiled, and said, "Go have a rest, I will cook!"

"Let's do it together," Kate said and went to grab an apron.

"No, you go sit and watch TV in the living room. Leave everything to me. You can see how good of a wife and mother I will be in the future," Anna laughed.

It was a drastic change from her personality before the amnesia, she was no longer aggressive. She made jokes and the atmosphere was peaceful.

"Well, I will listen to your orders then," Kate chuckled.

"Okay," Anna went to the kitchen with excitement.

In Phoenix, Daisy no sooner dropped her bags on the floor of a small, empty apartment when she heard the door slam behind her. The two men that escorted her stood expressionless, one snapped, "You will live here, do not go back to Aubi City, unless Lord Smith gives you permission!"

Daisy had never thought of leaving Aubi City, but she didn't have a choice when Joseph forced her to leave so that he could protect Kate.

"But how can I live in such a dump?" Daisy looked around, completely unhappy with her surroundings. It was nothing compared to her previous lifestyle.

"You have to live here," The man said confidently.

"But I have my own house in Aubi City. I should be able to choose where I live," Daisy frowned.

"You'd better learn to be satisfied with the current situation, or you will have to pay the consequences."

"Will you be outside the apartment all the time?" Until that moment, Daisy didn't realize how dire the situation was. Yet, she still wasn't going to give up.

"Yes!" They both shouted.

"But why?" sobbed Daisy, "I want to talk to Joseph, ask him to meet with me."

"Miss Daisy, we hope that you will face the truth and work with us. If you offend Lord Smith, you do not live nearly as comfortably as you can here. What did you infuriate him? He is being kind by letting you live here," The large man reminded her.

Daisy fell to the floor in hysterics, "I want to see Joseph! I have to see him today, or I will kill myself in front of you!"

One of the men shook his head in disgust and pulled out his phone to call Joseph.
