Contract Marriage with Devil Billionaire

Chapter 2: A Quarrel With Dora

After twenty minutes, she arrived at her destination - her father's house.

"Wow, it's Lady Kate! Welcome!" She heard Dora's deceptive words the moment she stepped out of her car.

Why is she still at home? Shouldn't she be playing bridge now? Kate was a little surprised to see Dora still at home.

Not wanting to deal with her, Kate just ignored Dora and walked straight into the mansion.

"Wait!" Dora White commanded, "It's my home, not yours. You know clearly who you are here."

That's why Kate did not want to talk to Dora, not because she feared her, but because she didn't want to deal with the nonsense and drama. Dora White was fond of making a big scene.

"You say the same thing every time you see me. Can you come up with something new to say next time?" Kate replied with a loud and disrespectful tone. She had tried to be polite before, but it didn't matter with Dora.

"How dare you speak to me like that?" Dora yelled. "You not only killed my daughter but also married the man she loved. You shameless b***h!"

Kate knew that Dora yelled because she wanted Leo White to hear her. She replied, "It's none of my business. I did not do anything to hurt your daughter."

"You..."

"What are you two arguing about?" Leo came out in his wheelchair and asked Dora seriously. "Why are you still here?"

Dora was a little scared and answered awkwardly, "I...I forget something."

Then she stumbled inside to get whatever she had forgotten.

"Come in the house!" Leo said coldly and then rolled the rear wheel to turn around.

Kate stepped forward in a hurry to help and asked, "Dad, have you recently had any rehabilitation therapy? What did the doctor say? What..."

"Don't ask such stupid questions anymore. I don't think I can even stand up now, but at least I am still alive. I am satisfied with that." Leo interrupted all of Kate's questions before she could ask anything further.

Kate felt very sad and apologized, "Sorry, if it were not for me…"

"Let the past be the past. Otherwise, Dora will scold you again."

"Okay..." She could feel her father's attitude changed.

After her mother, Flora White, passed away, Dora moved into this house with her daughter Anna. Kate gradually lost all importance in her father's eyes; the only one he loved was Anna.

"How are you getting along with Joseph?" Leo suddenly looked at her sharply, seeming to care about her marriage.

"We…We are fine." No matter Leo truly cared about her, she still did not want him to worry about her.

"That's great!" Leo heaved a sigh of relief and added, "Be obedient to him, and he will forget the past. If he is happy, I think he will help our White Group."

His words were very harsh, but Kate still nodded to show her agreement. She only hoped that what she did could ease her sense of guilt.

"I'm tired now. If you do not have anything to talk about, I want to have a rest." Leo said.

"Okay, Dad." She got up to help but was pushed away by Dora.

"Lady Kate, it's not very good to have you do such tiring work," Dora said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

Kate did not want to reply to her words and went upstairs to her room.

"You must know that the reason why you can marry Joseph is that my daughter had an accident! Otherwise, you would never have had the chance! So, show your respect, you ungrateful b***h!" Dora shouted.

Kate slammed her bedroom door as a reply. She wanted to calm down, but she was shocked to see her room was completely different. Her warm-colored room was changed. It had white and black linens, and Anna's black and white photos filled with the dressing table and all four walls.

The whole room seemed very eerie, and Kate felt as if all her breath was being pulled out. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Opening the door, she saw Daisy White standing there. Daisy quickly hugged Kate and cried, "Why didn't you tell me that you would be here today? If I hadn't got back early, I wouldn't have seen you."

Daisy's hug gave Kate a bit of comfort; she said with a big smile on her face, "I was waiting for you." 

Happily wiping the tears from her face, Daisy asked, "Will you have lunch here? I can cook your favorite steak for you. Your mother taught me how to do it."

Hearing someone talk about her mother, Kate shook head and said, "Let's cook something else. I don't want to eat anything that Dora will fault me for when she sees it."

"You are totally right! She's really pissed me off." Daisy stated, "She went crazy and made a mess of your room. I couldn't stop her, and when I helped clean it, she messed it up again. Your father didn't stop her, and I have no way…"

"Whatever, I seldom come back. I really don't want to argue with her."

"I want to live with you so that I can take care of you…" Daisy wiped her tears again, "Your mother had treated so kindly before, but now not only me, even you are bullied by that evil woman…"

Kate seldom talked to Daisy about her living condition now. Whenever Daisy asked about it, she would just say 'everything was okay' because she did not want her to worry about her.

"Daisy, please take my advice and leave here. I bought you a very nice house, and you don't need to care about anything." Kate knew that Daisy suffered a lot because of her.

"No!" Daisy rejected firmly, "Your mother treated me very well. I must stay here to protect your legal rights. Also, I need to stop that evil woman from taking away everything that belongs to you."

Kate knew Dora was malicious, but she didn't want Daisy to sacrifice her happiness for it.

"Kate, you must be careful of Dora and try your best to inherit the White Group. Your mother begged your father to give it to you before she died. If you take it casually, Dora will plead with Leo to give her the Group. With no daughter by her side, Dora will, of course, seek more money to protect herself. You will get nothing, Kate."

"Daisy!" Dora's sharp voice echoed through the room out of blue.

Daisy shook with fear and hid behind Kate quickly, saying, "Oh no! She heard what I said. I shouldn't have said it so loudly."

"Don't worry! You are just telling the truth," Kate raised her eyebrows and stared at Dora with her eyes full of anger. She was about to ask her about the room but was stopped before she could say anything.

"Who do you think you are? You are just an adopted daughter with no blood relation to this family. What a shame!" Dora stepped forward and raised her hand as if she was going to slap Daisy.

Seeing Dora's movements, Kate pushed Dora, "Don't take this too far."

Dora stumbled and then stabled herself, yelling at Kate with extreme anger, "How dare you push me?"

"You attacked us first! I was just defending myself." Kate replied firmly.

Dora exploded with rage, pointing a finger in Kate's face and shouted, "You son of a b***h! I'll make sure Joseph knows how bad you are!"

She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

Daisy tried to stop her, "Dora, it's our own business, and we can deal with it ourselves. Why bother Joseph?"

"Hello, this is Dora. How are you, Joseph?" Dora said with a malicious grin.  

"Are you available to come to my house to help me? Kate beat me." Dora sobbed, pretending to cry.

"You are so disgusting!" Seeing no tears on her face, Daisy growled, "Kate didn't beat you at all. She just pushed you in self-defense."

After hanging up with Joseph, Dora said, "Yes, you are telling the truth, but I think Joseph will handle it fairly."

From the moment Dora stepped foot in the house, Kate clearly knew what kind of person she was. In the beginning, Dora bullied her when her father wasn't around, then she began to make difficulties for Kate at any time. Kate did not want to bring up the past or fuss over the tiny things. However, Dora called Joseph to embarrass her, and she couldn't stand it any longer.
