Contract Marriage with Devil Billionaire

With just a little effort, Joseph grabbed Samuel's arm, twisted it, and pushed him away.

Kate was relieved to see that Joseph defeated him. He turned to her and said, "Let's go!"

"Okay..." She hurried to catch up to Joseph.

Samuel also tried to catch up to Joseph but was stopped by two men who suddenly appeared. He was defeated again and was livid, "Joseph, this is not over!"

As she got into the car, Kate was so nervous that she was afraid to look at Joseph.

He wouldn't think that she was dating Samuel, would he?

Because he grabbed her and shielded her behind his back, Kate felt attracted to Joseph as she never had before.

"You will not be going to work anymore!" Joseph finally said as they pulled into the driveway.

Kate retorted in discontent, "How can you limit my freedom?"

"You can't keep away from other men!" Joseph snarled.

"I didn't plan to meet Samuel. The whole situation is a huge misunderstanding, and I…"

Joseph quickly interrupted her, "No matter whether you planned to meet with him or not, you are not allowed to go to Smith Group anymore. You will stay home and get pregnant!"

"Did you mean I can't leave the house until I'm pregnant?" Kate questioned.

"Yes!"

"What if I refuse?!" Kate had $10,000,000 in her bank account, so she had the confidence to fight back. He was used to beating her down and making all of the decisions.

"You should know by now what will happen." Joseph gave her a cold look.

Kate snorted, "Stop grandma's drugs?"

He frowned slightly, wondering where her calm attitude came from. "Do you think I'm just bluffing?'

"I'm sure you can do it." She laughed ironically and faced his strong warning eyes, "That's why I traded with Smith Group's shares!"

She planned to have the $10,000,000 as a provision in case of an emergency. However, she didn't expect it to come in handy quickly.

The saying 'Money Talks' was accurate when it came to fighting with Joseph.

"Heh, I wondered what you wanted the $10,000,000 for," Joseph whispered as he shook his head, then looked at Kate in disbelief, "You truly are getting more and more calculating."

"I'm far from you," Kate said in a belittling tone.

"Do you really think I can't do what I want with that $10,000,000?" He was staring straight into her eyes, but she couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Kate had to be alert and try to stay a step ahead each time they spoke, "What else can you threaten me with besides my grandma? White Group? Dora is already in charge; I have nothing to do with it."

Joseph was even more shocked that she continued to rebel against his demands, "Kate Smith, how could you…"

Seeing Joseph walk away from her filled with fury made Kate smile. Winning the argument with him gave her more confidence than she had before.

The next morning when Kate woke up, she decided she was going to look for a job, with or without Joseph's permission. She assumed she would reencounter the same obstacles, but the first company she applied to offered her an interview immediately.

Kate was nervous, but she honestly answered all the questions the recruiter asked. When they were done, he told her to wait a few minutes, and someone from the Human Resources department would speak with her.

A short time later, a sweet-looking woman opened the door, "Hi, Kate! I am happy to inform you that you can begin work here tomorrow if you would like?"

"Really?" Kate was in shock, she saw Symantec's job description, she thought it didn't hurt to apply, but she never expected to get the job. Symantec was an Internet company, and she was worried that she didn't have enough experience.

"Miss Smith, with your work experience and ability, it's our honor to have you as part of our company," the woman stated and reached out to shake Kate's hand.

After being rejected just a few days earlier, receiving a job so quickly was a big surprise for Kate. She was trying not to show how excited she was when she said, "Thank you! I will be ready to start tomorrow."

"You are welcome! I hope you will enjoy working here."

When Kate left the front lobby of Symantec, she was as happy as a child in a toy store. She immediately called Lisa to share her good news.

"Wonderful!" Lisa was also surprised, "Joseph must have a guilty conscience."

"I don't know if he does or he just missed contacting this company. What the hell, though? I will take the chance and show up for work tomorrow!" Kate was still worried that Joseph would try to sabotage her new job.

"Kate, be brave. Just like when you encouraged me to start my own business before. Now, you have to face these things; you are braver than me!"

Kate was relieved with Lisa's encouragement, "Alright, be brave!"

At Smith Group, John was speaking to Joseph, "Mr. President, I have done as you asked. Lady Kate will be starting work at Symantec tomorrow."

Joseph nodded, then asked, "How is everything going at White Group?"

"Don't worry. It is running stable."

"Try to arrange more suitable resources to White Group."

"Got it."

Joseph's gaze fell on the face of the girl in the framed photo. With just one look, his eyes were locked firmly on her. John left without saying anything more.

Kate went to the hospital after leaving her job interview; she needed to see her grandma. Although she could only look through the window, she was relieved to know she was still safe.

When Kate arrived home, she was expecting Joseph to be there waiting to tell her; she was fired from her new job. He always took so much pleasure in hurting her, but he didn't arrive home until 10 p.m.

Unsure if Joseph knew about her job, Kate decided not to say anything until he did. However, he didn't even sleep in the same room as her, so the following morning, Kate quickly got ready and rushed downstairs to go to work. She hoped that Joseph had already left to go into the office.

"Wait!" Just as she was about to leave the house, Joseph Smith walked up to her and sneered, "Getting arrogant after finding a job?"

Kate realized he knew she didn't want to argue, though. She put her phone in her purse, then calmly asked, "You are not going to destroy things again, are you?"

"What do you think?" Joseph mocked, "I have so many things to do every day, and I don't have any extra energy for you!"

"I'm relieved that you think so." Kate worried about being late, she quickly put on her shoes and left the house.

Joseph was beginning to feel frustrated at the fact that she didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. Once she was happy, he felt sorry for Anna. He placed a call, "Linda, don't treat her kindly for my sake! Give her a hard time!"
