"Because of me? Am I that important?" Paige asked. She was being extra vigilant in front of him.
"You are one of the shareholders of our company. Therefore, your every movement and every single word would be amplified."
Paige glanced at the secretary and walked to the bedside, "Dad, are you feeling alright?"
"My stomach hurts... It's uncomfortable…" Liam replied weakly.
Then, Paige's gaze fell on his face. She remembered how Joseph had a stomachache because of some spicy food he ate that night. That day he looked pale and sick.
However, Liam looked fine. His eyes were full of vitality and his complexion was healthy. Everything was alright except for his croaky voice.
Was he pretending to be sick? Why did he do that? What the hell was he scheming again?
Perhaps it was really like what Abbie said about him? Paige thought in her mind, but she didn't say it out, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that he would get better after an IV therapy and some anti-inflammatory medication." The secretary continued, "But now Mr. Anderson is worried about the company's affairs. Recently, the company was experiencing a huge loss of clients, and currently experiencing a shortage in funds. Mr. Anderson is really worried about the money!"
Upon listening to her words, Paige immediately knew what was on Liam's mind. He was just eyeing her 500 million dollars, wasn't he?
Paige laughed silently, but she didn't express it out.
"Ah, the company short of money? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I received a compensation of 500 million dollars yesterday. If only you told me earlier, I could've lent it to you. But now... the money has been taken away!" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
What do you mean? Who took away the money?" Liam, who was pretending to be sick, almost jumped out of his bed upon hearing this.
"Oh, Michael took it," Paige replied.
"That's actually Michael's lawyer fee. He promised to help me file a lawsuit, and of course, the compensation I gained is all transferred to him. Ugh, if only you had said it earlier, I would definitely help you out using the money first. Sadly, it is all given to Michael now!"
Upon hearing this, Liam was mad with rage, "You unfilial rascal! How dare you scheme on me like this? Do you still have a conscience?"
"What are you saying? I'm filing a lawsuit because Sophia and Ethan slandered me. What does it have to do with you?" Paige refuted.
"I'm the one who paid one hundred million dollars in your total compensation fee of five hundred million. Now tell me, how could it have nothing to do with me?" Liam was extremely furious.
Without pretending, he immediately plucked off the needle on his arm.
"Aren't you ill? Why don't you tell me the reason for paying the one hundred million? I'm not expecting you to pay for it. So, what does this have to do with me?" Paige sneered
"And as far as I know, you never care about me when I was framed by Sophia and Ethan. All you did was scold me on the phone. But how are you so kind and generous now? Perhaps I, the daughter of the Anderson family, can't be compared to an illegitimate daughter, is it? If that's the case, aren't you too disappointing?"
Liam was at a loss for words after Paige's refutation.
To vent out his anger, he immediately flipped out and threw the cup of the table, "Get out! Get out of here right now!"
Paige glanced at his fiery red face. Then, she walked out of the ward. However, her eyes suddenly turned red when she entered the elevator.
Liam was willing to pay 100 million for the sake of that b*tch, Sophia Martin. But he had no sympathy for her at all; instead, all he did was taking advantage of her. Just how could he be so despicable and shameless?
