Chapter 78
""I am the other half of your marriage certificate, I know, but did you treat me as your wife?"" Cassie's face was filled with mockery. ""In your eyes, I am just a shameless woman. I cannot compare to anyone around you.""
Including Arthur, including Olivia.
Since that's the case, why should she compromise?
Joseph was irritated by her aggressive words. ""Who do you think you are?""
""I always thought I had a chance, but you don't have to bother with me anymore! Our marriage is a contract. If I hadn't insisted on moving in, we wouldn't have gotten entangled at all.""
""You remember it was your insistence."" Joseph spoke without thinking, driven by anger. ""I don't want to deal with you either. I just don't want you to come back and infect me with any disease. You're dirty!""
Cassie could feel a surge of anger rushing to her head, causing her whole body to tremble. Initially, she wanted to endure until Dakota gave birth before leaving. After all, Dakota truly liked her, but now she realized that she couldn't bear it anymore.
""Alright then. To prevent the dirty me from dirtying your territory, can I move out?""
""Is this your new tactic?"" Joseph sneered. He didn't believe she would move out. He believed that she was scheming to climb into his bed.
Cassie ignored him and forcefully freed herself from his grasp. She rushed back home and pulled out a suitcase to quickly pack her belongings. She didn't have much stuff, so she finished packing soon.
Joseph stood at the doorway, watching her, and felt so frustrated that he kept unbuttoning his shirt.
Would she ever stop? Her words had touched a nerve.
Until now, she hadn't reflected on what she had done wrong. If it weren't for her riding in another man's car, would he have scolded her?
After closing the zipper of the suitcase, Cassie took out the card he had given her and placed it on the table. ""Here is your money. I haven't spent a penny of it, except for daily expenses.""
Joseph felt dissatisfied hearing this and chuckled coldly. ""Sounds nice, but haven't you used the money for your food, drinks, and medical expenses or hospitalizations?""
Cassie looked up at the man in front of her. He was undeniably handsome, but why did he seem so mean now? How could she have felt a flutter in her heart when he saved her from Anthony's grasp?
Was she blind?
Yes, she was blind!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have encountered Arthur and then him.
""Fine, I'll give it back to you tomorrow after I get an advance from work."" She couldn't stay any longer. She carried her suitcase and rushed toward the door. At the doorway, she saw Dakota looking at her reluctantly.
Her eyes reddened, and she lowered her head to stroke its head.
""I'm sorry, I won't be able to take care of you anymore.""
""Dakota, come back!"" The sight of this woman and the cat made Joseph's eyes ache. His expression couldn't be described as anything other than ugly.
In his eyes, Cassie was nothing but stubborn, and now she was even more obstinate.
""Cassie, don't regret it. Once you step out of this door, I won't accept you, even if you come back begging me,"" he said.
""Don't worry, I won't."" Cassie stood up and left without looking back.
When the door closed, she heard the sound of something smashing.
But it didn't matter anymore."
