Chapter 75
""Stop pretending! You told the neighbors about its pregnancy. I asked at the pet hospital. It's about to give birth. It's not because I upset its stomach with food; it's because it's pregnant!""
Cassie grew angrier the more she spoke. ""Joseph, do you think it's fun to fool me?""
Joseph felt a bit embarrassed. ""Cassie, get it straight. You were the one who wanted to move in. I simply accommodated your wish and gave you a chance to be attentive to me.""
""So should I be grateful for your deception?"" Cassie clenched her teeth.
""Weren't you happy when you moved in? Besides, I even saved you twice. If it weren't for me, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me?"" Joseph furrowed his brows.
This woman had no sense of gratitude. He had only taken her in because she had no money and nowhere to go. And what did she do? She used such despicable means against him! Now she had the audacity to accuse him, but who gave her the right?
Cassie was speechless. Yes, he was her savior, but was that a reason for him to act as he pleased? Fine, she had started with improper intentions. It served her right to be deceived.
Seeing her pale face and silence, Joseph became even more confident. ""Cassie, I think it's time for you to reflect on your own attitude. If it weren't for Dakota's need for care during pregnancy, I would never tolerate someone like you staying here.""
Cassie didn't know how she managed to leave. Her mind was in a daze, and she was so frustrated that she almost wanted to pick a fight with someone.
Since being with Joseph, she doubted her endurance could break a Guinness World Record. Can she still turn back now?
If she had known the difficulty of this path, she would never have provoked Joseph in the first place!
Despite feeling uncomfortable, work couldn't be delayed. At 8:30, Cassie drove to the villa. As she passed the entrance, she saw Olivia and Alexander walking in. It was clearly Joseph's villa. Did he really give it to Olivia for renovation?
She drove to the property management company. While completing the paperwork, she asked, ""I saw renovation workers entering Building B2 earlier. Are they renovating as well?""
""Yes, they are, and they've paid a renovation deposit,"" replied the property management staff.
""Which renovation company?""
""Height Company.""
In that moment, Cassie felt as though the only pillar supporting her and Joseph had collapsed.
Although she had heard Arthur mention it before, it was just hearsay and didn't count without Joseph's consent. She didn't expect him to give it to Olivia.
Joseph knew Olivia had stolen her design and knew the Brooks family had almost taken her life. She also knew she had no place in Joseph's heart, and he even despised her now. But they had lived together for a while, and she had done his laundry, cooked, cleaned, and taken care of the cat. Could he really ignore all of that?
Moreover, enabling and supporting people like Robert and Olivia, who had no boundaries, was unacceptable. By supporting them, he showed that he was also a heartless scum.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she walked out of the property management company, and she felt dizzy. The cold medicine she took yesterday didn't do much, and now, with this emotional turmoil, she could barely stand.
But she couldn't collapse because there was no one to care for her. "
