Chapter 3
At the headquarters of Wolf Group International of B City, all the executives were sitting in the conference room, keeping silent.
Last night, they received a notice from the CEO's Office at eight o'clock.
It said the CEO, who had never shown up before, was coming to the company today.
Undoubtedly, he was the most mysterious person in B City.
Three years ago, an unknown buyer bid for the most prosperous business block in the center of B City at the price of more than two billion dollars.
Later, it cost more than ten billion dollars to build the tallest building of B City, which was named Wolf Group.
Within just two years, Wolf Group was involved in many industries and profited well, such as hotel, catering, real estate, financial industry and film-television industry.
Wolf Group was the most profitable company in B City. However, no one knew who owned it.
This plutocrat had never been seen in public, and even no one knew his real name. The only thing people knew was that his first name was Joseph.
Now the boss was about to show up, and all the executives dared not to behave casually.
Everyone was sitting properly and making guesses about him
At ten o'clock, someone came closer to the conference room.
All the executives looked at the door tensely.
James Field came first, who was the Executive President and the Chief Secretary of Wolf Group.
He entered the conference room and bowed, "Sir, please!"
And then Joseph Dawson walked in casually like a model.
Joseph was tall and slender, and he had the air of a noble man with good-looking features. When people saw him clearly, they were all amazed.
No one had expected that the mysterious big boss turned out to be such an extraordinary youth.
For a moment, everyone was staring at Joseph in shock. But he ignored their reactions and walked to the main seat in the conference room. He sat down and glanced the crowd.
His gaze showed the dignity as a superior.
Having eye contact with him, the executives immediately withdrew their sights and stood up together to greet him, "Welcome, Mr. Dawson!"
In fact, Joseph was always rigorous and resolute in his work, so he talked concisely and finished the regular meeting in less than half an hour.
James left with him and they entered the CEO's Office soon.
The office was decorated at Joseph's will.
And it had been vacant for a long time, waiting for its owner's arrival.
Joseph looked around and sat down on the large chair with satisfaction.
Having been worked for Joseph for a long time, James could see that Joseph was in a good mood at present, so he smiled with relief when standing at the other side of the desk.
"Mr. Dawson, I think the fact that you are the real boss of Wolf Group will soon be known by others. I wonder how your families will react when they find out."
Joseph smiled significantly, and what he said was totally beyond James's expectation.
"They won't find out anytime. Prepare an internal document and asked all the executives to keep secret."
"Are you still going to keep it a secret?" Before that James thought Joseph was to show up in public after returning home from abroad, not expecting that he decided to continue to keep it secret.
"My brothers will be go crazy and stressful if I show up in public. It's better for me to be an useless freeloader. After all, my dad is weak now, and I don't want him to worry about us." answered Joseph.
James knew very well about the Dawson family, as he had been working for Joseph for a long time.
The rich and powerful families were always friendly on the surface, but in private, they struggled for equity and property.
Joseph had became a so-called freeloader because of his older brothers.
If his father had not been badly ill, Joseph wouldn't come home so soon.
Now Master Dawson was in poor health, and Joseph was as filial as always. He had already endured his brothers for so many years, not minding the situation remaining for a bit longer. Then James replied, "I see. Shall I keep handling the business affairs on behalf of you?"
"Yes, everything goes the same as before." As they were talking, James's phone rang.
He looked surprise when he heard the person at the other end.
After hanging up the phone, James looked at Joseph seriously and began to report.
"The identity of the woman last night was figured out. She is Mrs. Dawson's nephew, Ethan Green's girlfriend, and her name is Paige Anderson."
Hearing this, Joseph felt a little astonished. He thought, "She is Ethan's girlfriend? Well, interesting!" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Paige wandered along the streets despairingly until it was night time. Finally, she was exhausted and felt extremely hungry.
She took out her mobile phone and check, but found no new messages. Ten hours passed and Liam
still hadn't called her.
Was he going to abandon her and stay with the shameless mother and daughter?
Abandoned by her father, Paige felt desperate. She could not go back home now. What's more, her best friend Abbie Clark was on her vacation abroad, so she had no place to go.
Having no choice, Paige went to the nearest Wolf Hotel. When she walked into the lobby, she bumped into Sophia.
Sophia was sitting in the lounge in a good mood with her mother Isabella. And she was stunned when she saw Paige came in.
After whispering a few words to Isabella, Sophia strode over to Paige.
"What a coincidence! Paige, are you also here for dinner?" But Paige didn't want to waste any time on this shameless woman.
But Sophia obviously didn't want to let go of this opportunity to irritate her.
So Sophia continued, "Daddy invites us to have dinner here. He has booked the best private room to treat us. Oh! And Ethan will come later!"
Liam didn't care about his own daughter, who had run away from home, but he had time to invite the shameless mistress and her daughter to dinner here. Paige felt broken-hearted.
She tried hard to control her anger and said, "Stay away from me!"
Sophia didn't want to let her go and said, "Aha, are you angry? Here's another piece of hot news for you. Daddy asked us to live with him tomorrow. So Paige, now your boyfriend and your home are all mine!"
Sophia proudly said that. Paige believed that Sophia was planning something evil in her head.
However, Paige was so exhausted that she almost fainted. Therefore, she ignored Sophia and walked away without saying a word.
Sophia was unreconciled for Paige's indifference. And she kept irritating Paige.
"Paige, did you remember that night Ethan and me had sex in the car? In fact, I did it on purpose. By the way, do you know why Ethan broke up with you and chose to be with me?"
Paige stopped when hearing what Sophia said. Indeed, she could not understand why Ethan would give up her and chose Sophia.
After all, she had an advantage in everything over Sophia.
Sophia smirked when she saw Paige stop, "I told Ethan that you have had sex with plenty of men and even had an abortion. He was so angry that he broke up with you!"
Paige stared at Sophia in astonishment.
How could this b*tch be so despicable?
At the same time, Sophia felt the pleasure of revenge when seeing Paige's startled look, and she stared at Paige coldly.
"This is just the beginning. My mother was supplanted in her lover's affections by your mother, and we suffered a lot for so many years. Now it's my turn to take back what belongs to us! I am going to kick you out of the Anderson family. Everything you have will be mine in no time. Just wait and see!"
Paige could no longer bear Sophia's provocation and slapped her hard.
This slap drained Paige of all her strength, and she felt numb in her palm. However, Sophia did not dodge but bore the slap.
But instantly, she covered her face with her hand and said pitifully, "Paige, calm down, please!"
Before Paige figured out why Sophia suddenly changed her attitude, an angry voice sounded, "Paige, you've gone too far!"
She turned around and saw Ethan and Liam come from nowhere.
