Contract Marriage with Devil Billionaire

Anna saw Joseph's reaction and apologized, "I am so sorry, Joseph. I should have left last night, but it was so difficult when you…"

The anger was building inside of Joseph; he couldn't believe what he had done.

"Joseph, don't be annoyed. I'll leave immediately. I won't mention this to anyone. You have done nothing…" Anna mumbled as she picked up her clothes that were lying around the room.

When she was dressed, she went downstairs and saw Amy. She covered her mouth and cried softly.

"Miss Anna, are you okay?" Amy had been waiting in the stairwell, eager to know what had happened. She had turned her back on Anna, and if she were going to be Lady Smith, Amy's life would be torture, so she had to try to win back Anna's trust.

Anna knew it was not the appropriate time to get even with Amy. She needed to play the victim and make Joseph feel bad, "I am fine; please just take good care of Lord Joseph."

"Miss Anna?" Amy called until Anna was out of sight, then she quickly ran upstairs.

"Lord Joseph..." Said Amy.

"Get out!" Joseph yelled as soon as Amy opened her mouth.

Amy was scared by Joseph's shouting. She thought of Anna crying and her disheveled clothes. She assumed they slept together, and she wouldn't normally be surprised. However, when they were at the hospital, and Joseph interrogated Anna, he treated her like a criminal, and then when she was accused, he didn't stick up for her.

Did Joseph and Anna make up? Would Kate come back? Amy worried.

In the small villa, Dora applauded when she heard the story of her daughter's night.

"Like, I said as long as you acted well, Joseph will be fooled, no matter how clever he thinks he is."

"But Mom, Joseph showed no love for me. He would not get a divorce because of this, nor will he marry me…" Even if the plan was successful, Anna had no confidence that she would be able to win Joseph back.

"Anna, I'm not criticizing you, but you should try to keep calm in bad situations.

Through all of this, Kate looks much better than you. This was the only way you would have a chance to win!"

Anna did not refute anything her mother said, "Even if I could keep calm, I still need Joseph to give me an opportunity. Why should I bother to fight with Kate if there is no chance to be Lady Anna?"

"Get pregnant with his baby!" Dora shouted at Anna. She had the idea before, but Anna could never get into Joseph's bed, but they immediately had hope when Joseph was drunk.

"Mom, Joseph didn't even touch me at all last night. There is no way I am pregnant. We need to find another way. I want to be the real Lady Anna!" She cried.

"Then... how to?"

"Find a way to conceive a child."

"Mom, didn't I say that? Joseph didn't want to touch me..." Thinking of Kate being able to bear a child for him while she couldn't, she was envious.

"Don't you understand what I mean?" Dora stared at her daughter and made the statement clear. "As long as you get pregnant and blame Joseph, you can become Lady Anna!"

"Well..." Anna frowned, "How can I do that? I don't want to get pregnant by anyone other than Joseph!"

"Anna, this is not the time to be picky. You said that Joseph was not willing to touch you. If you don't take advantage of what he thinks happened soon, you will never have another chance. I bet that Joseph will avoid you in the future!" Dora was annoyed at her daughter's attitude.

Anna panicked, and after a long pause, she signed, "Okay, Mom."

Dora White looked at her troubled daughter and said, "Kate Smith drove us away with her mother's legacy. The purpose was to make us broke one day. Your father is unreliable, so we need to find a way to make our lives better. At least until we can get even with Kate!"

"Sorry that I am useless, and that you are suffering because of me right now. You can be sure that I will work hard so that you will have a good life again!" Anna said as the goal of becoming Lady Anna grew in her heart. By the time she became Lady Anna, she would have everything, the money, the social status, and all of the other perks, including getting even with Kate.

Kate was up early to go to White Group with Leo the next day. Leo was uncertain about Kate's abilities. He hoped she would be able to make a significant contribution to the company, but he was also worried that she might fail.

"Dad, I'll start with the simplest work. If there is anything that I don't understand, I will get advice from the managers in each department," Kate assured her father.

"Don't you plan to take over White Group immediately?" Leo was surprised when he heard his daughter's plan.

"My purpose is not taking over White Group but to make it better and better. Then I could share some of your burden in the future!"

Leo looked at Kate, "You had always been the best since childhood. If you are willing to learn, nothing can stop you!"

Kate had forgotten how long it had been since she heard a compliment from Leo. His words filled her with encouragement, "Then off to work, I go!"

"Go on, and tell me if you have any problems."

"Okay! Have a good day, Dad!"

Soon after Kate left, Dora walked into Leo's office.

"Do you know how uncomfortable my daughter and I are?" The moment she entered the room, she began to shout at Leo.

Dora knew Leo well enough to know that he would give in to her sooner or later if she continued to complain.

Leo's eyebrows wrinkled when Dora barged in, "Dora, I am giving you $10,000 a month. That should be more than enough to cover your expenses, plus you and Anna are living in the villa. Your style of living hasn't really been downgraded that much!"

"It is not the same!" Dora couldn't accept his comments and snarled, "We are like outsiders again. What is the difference between now and when I was your mistress? I have to live in the White mansion to feel like your wife!"
