Chapter 287
Although Liam had tried his best to suppress his anger, Paige, who had been observing him, still caught the flash of resentment in his eyes. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Her heart dropped. There was something wrong with his gaze. It was not the expression of a father looking at his daughter, but an expression of hatred towards his enemy.
Why did Liam look at her like that? Paige suspected that he had done the paternity test that related to her and this just confirmed her suspicion.
She felt a little scared. If Liam really did carry out a paternity test on her because of Isabella and Sophia's manipulation, the results would definitely not be good.
Liam's attitude towards her was so bad before. Now that he had proof that she was not his daughter, how could he speak so kindly to her?
He must have a purpose tonight! Paige became alert.
Since she had doubts, she was naturally silly enough to trust him. Paige immediately picked up her phone and sent a message to Joseph, "My dad asked me to have dinner today. I feel a little uneasy."
Joseph did not reply. Paige guessed that he was busy, so she believed that he would reply immediately after he saw the message.
She tried to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and followed Liam out of the house.
The driver was Liam's assistant. When he saw them coming out, he immediately got off the car and
greeted Paige politely, "Hello, Miss Anderson!"
Paige nodded and said, "Hello, Kyrie!"
"Miss Anderson, please get in the car!" He diligently opened the car door for them.
The car drove straight to the restaurant.
After getting on the car, Liam was back to his well-mannered self and he spoke to Paige lovingly and caringly.
Paige was on guard, so she answered his questions very carefully. She would answer his questions and not include anything more than what he had asked.
The atmosphere was awkward beyond words. Fortunately, the car soon stopped at the entrance and they entered the hotel together.
Liam booked an exquisite private room.
After sitting down, he smiled and said, " know you like spicy food, so I told them to prepare some Mexican cuisine for you."
"Thank you, Dad!" Paige forced a smile. The waiter quickly came in and served the dishes.
They were all her favourite spicy dishes.
Liam laughed and said, "Have a taste to see if it's good!"
Paige was still wary of him, so how could she start eating just like that? Instead, she stood up and took the food for him.
She said with a smile, "Dad, you can eat, too!"
Liam's face stiffened. Why was Paige so considerately taking food for him?
"Could it be that she suspects that I have a purpose? That shouldn't be the case. With her stupidity and how kind I have been, how can she doubt me?"
It was probably a coincidence. Fortunately, he didn't drug the food, or he would have embarrassed himself. Liam picked up his chopsticks and tasted them, "Kyrie said that the Mexican food here tastes very good. He's right."
Seeing that he had tasted the dishes, Paige was relieved and she followed suit.
He asked with a smile on his face, "Do you like them?"
"Not bad. It's delicious."
"It's good that you like it. Let's have a few drinks tonight," Liam suggested with a smile.
"Drink? I'm not a heavy drinker," Paige refused.
"It's just a few sips. Since your tolerance is low, we'll get the one with the lower alcohol percentage,
During their conversation, the waiter brought over two kinds of wine.
Paige looked at the two kinds of wine and a terrible thought appeared in her head. There was no problem with the food. Could it be that he drugged the wine?
She had a plan of pretending to take a sip and vomiting it out when her phone rang.
She picked up the phone and glanced at it. Joseph had sent her a message, "I'm in the room next to yours."
Paige was relieved to see Joseph's message and she immediately replied to him.
"My dad is being weird. His behaviours are odd and now he's asking me to drink from the wine bottle that's different from his. I'm feeling like he must have drugged the wine."
Joseph immediately replied and said, "I got it. You can go ahead and drink with him, I've switched out the wines he prepared. Remember to act dizzy after!"
Seeing Paige texting on her phone, Liam tilted his head and looked over, "Who are you talking to?"
"Abbie", After saying that, Paige put down her phone and picked up her glass, "Dad, let's have a toast!"
He immediately picked up his glass and clinked it with hers.
Seeing Paige drink the wine without any hesitation, he smiled and drank his wine. Then, he immediately filled her empty glass again.
Knowing that Joseph was next door, Paige did not refuse. After a few glasses, she rubbed her head and said, "I'm starting to feel a little dizzy. I need to go to the bathroom, it's getting uncomfortable!"
"Are you okay?" Liam asked with concern.
"It should not be a big deal," Paige staggered to her feet and walked to the sofa in the room. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell on the sofa.
When Liam saw Paige lying on the sofa, he immediately stood up. "Paige! Paige, are you alright?"
Paige kept her eyes shut and did not move nor respond. Liam reached out and shook her a few times. Seeing her motionless with her eyes closed, he picked up his phone and made a call. "Come over right now, my daughter had too much to drink."
A few minutes later, Kyrie came in. He was surprised to see Paige lying motionless on the sofa, "What's going on?"
"She drank too much!" Liam answered irritably, "Isn't the drug supposed to just make her lose touch with reality? Look, she's unconscious now! What's going on?"
"I don't know either. Would you like me to call the person who sold the drug?"
"What's the point? Where's the document? Take it out right now and stamp her fingerprint on it!" Liam ordered Kyrie around in a foul tone.
Kyrie immediately opened the briefcase and took out the document for share transfer and an ink mound. Liam grabbed Paige's hand, pressed it into the ink, and printed her fingerprints on the
document.
After pressing her fingerprint, they wiped the ink off her finger with a wet wipe, "Well, we have her fingerprint, but what about her signature? It's all your fault! How is she going to sign it like this?"
"I…... Why don't we think of another way next time?" Kyrie was helpless when he saw Paige in such a state.
"We can only do it next time then," Liam said resentfully.
Liam's purpose was to ask her to sign the contract, but she didn't know what the contract was. Paige was listening to every word.
