The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 312

Wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses, Lamont had arrived in West Hill cafe and was scrolling through his phone while waiting for Archer.

Around ten minutes later, he heard footsteps coming his way as Archer entered the coffee shop through the front door.

Then, Lamont stood up to greet him, "Mr. Saunders!"

Archer gestured for him to sit before asking, "What's wrong? Why are you looking for me so urgently?"

Next, Lamont nodded, "Yes, I wanted to ask a quick favor from you. It's about Miss Paige Anderson."

"Paige? Do you mean Natalie's daughter?" A mysterious expression flashed across Archer's face a while before disappearing.

"What about her?" Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Paige came to me for help when she heard that Liam was preparing to transfer his funds. As you know, I'm not too knowledgeable about business issues, so I thought I'd ask you. Paige is just a helpless young child, surely you have some idea to help her, right?"

Lamont explained. After that, Archer frowned, "Wait, my father-in-law is involved in this? Why is he siding with Liam against Paige?"

"I don't understand either, could Hayden have left the issue only to settle the score later on?" Lamont guessed.

At that, Archer shook his head, "I don't think so. The reason he hasn't been diving into this matter is probably that I agreed to his terms, which means that he would've come to a conclusion regarding it. Paige should have nothing to do with this, and he would have no reason to go against her. There must be some other reason that we don't know yet…"

"Let's ignore the fact that Hayden and Liam are colluding for now. Do you have any ideas on how we could stop Liam's plans?"

"It might be tough, but it's possible," Archer answered after a slight pause.

"You should order a fake Anderson Group stamp and find a way to switch it with the real one. In this case, the stamp on the contract would be fake, thus the contract would not be legally binding. After that, all Paige needs to do is to wait for Liam to slip up before dealing with him directly." Then, Lamont's face brightened up at Archer's suggestion, "Why didn't I come up with this idea? I'll inform Paige about it right now."

As soon as Lamont finished speaking, he immediately picked up his phone to call Paige. Meanwhile, Paige had just parked her car when her phone rang, and she picked it up before answering, "Hello? Who's on the line?"

"Hello Miss, it's Lamont! I've thought of a method that you could use to stop Liam's plans!"

"What should I do?" Paige asked.

"You should switch out the official stamp."

"Oh, I've done that," Paige replied with a flat voice.

"What? You've already changed the stamp? When did you have the time to do so?" Lamont asked, thinking that he had misheard Paige's answer.

"Just now," Paige replied, "Besides changing the company stamp, I also ordered Aiden to freeze all of the company's assets. With this, my father can't carry out any of his plans now."

Lamont had been talking to Paige while in speaker mode, and Archer, who had been sitting across the table the whole time heard their conversation clearly, was shocked yet impressed with her quick thinking.

On the other hand, Lamont himself was also extremely surprised at how fast Paige had taken action against Liam. "Miss, what's the next step of your plan? Do you need my help?"

"I've actually decided to find someone else to take over the company. I even have a candidate in mind, and that's Braelynn, who Lucian recommended to me. But I haven't decided what to do after the takeover though," Paige replied as she reached out to open her car door. "Well anyway, I'm meeting my friends soon, we'll talk later…"

Hence, Lamont couldn't believe his ears as he hung up the phone. "Well well, who would've thought that Paige was so smart? I thought she was just an innocent and clueless child."

"She must have inherited Natalie's intellect. People like them normally want to lead simple and peaceful lives without complicating things, but once they've been put in tough situations, they would resort to any necessary means to get themselves out of danger," Archer replied.

Then, Lamont stole a glance at Archer. Indeed, Paige appeared to have inherited Natalie's intelligence, but what about Archer's aptitude for business?

Paige would be proclaimed as the next genius in the business industry if she had really inherited both of their strengths.

"Now that I think about it, she should be around twenty-four years old this year, right? She has such a lovely voice, doesn't she?" Archer smiled slightly while thinking about Paige.

"That's right, she's turning twenty-four this year," Lamont nodded.

"Twenty-four is the best age one can be!" Archer sighed softly in regret. He and Natalie's children would have been around that age too if that incident hadn't happened.

"I can't believe how ungrateful Liam is! He has such a brilliant daughter, but instead of spoiling her, he decides to make an enemy of her?"

"Well, everyone knows that Mr. Anderson isn't exactly the best parent out there as he has a mistress and an illegitimate daughter. I actually pity President Garcia right now."

Archer's eyes flashed in pain when Natalie was brought up. "It's all my fault, what I did was unforgivable!"

"Don't blame yourself, President Saunders, you can't control everything that happens in this world after all. If you want to seek forgiveness from President Garcia, perhaps you should help Miss Anderson as much as possible."

"You're right! Feel free to tell me anytime if Paige needs my help, I'll definitely help her to the best of my ability," Archer agreed as he stood up to leave. "I'll be going, but remember to keep my past a secret from her, I don't want her to be tangled up in my problems as well."

"I will!" Lamont replied while standing up to see Archer off. He only put on his cap and left the coffee shop ten minutes later.

Then, Lamont had been driving for quite some time after leaving the coffee shop when he felt that something was off.

Slowing down, he realized that there was a sleek black car trailing behind him.

This car had been driving behind him since he left the coffee shop. Was he being followed?

Next, Lamont decided to speed up to shake the car off his trail, but the car had also sped up to catch up with him. There was no mistake, the car was following him.

How could anyone be so daring to stalk him during the middle of the day?

Lamont sneered as he stopped his car so he could get off.

As soon as the black car that had been trailing him stopped, Lamont immediately rushed over and knocked on their window.

The window had barely been opened before he grabbed the driver by their collar with one hand and he punched the driver's face as hard as he could.

Therefore, Lamont's punch was unexpected, and the driver could barely let out a scream before he had been blinded.

Satisfied, Lamont shook his hands and drove away as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Joseph was going through his documents at the Wolf Group when James entered his office, "Mr. Dawson, our sources report that Lamont has been sighted!"

Hence, Joseph immediately put down his pen, "Where is he?"

"I followed your orders and kept an eye on Archer. Just like you predicted, Lamont met Archer in a coffee shop in Ruthorham today for about forty minutes. However, I also need to report that Lamont has discovered someone following him and he immediately dealt with him. I guess he really is as arrogant as ever after all."

"Where is he now then?" Joseph immediately retorted.

"We don't know his exact location, but it has been reported that he has left Ruthorham and is now in B City. We lost the cunning fellow as he was driving past a red light," James replied as he glanced at Joseph's face cautiously. "What do you think, Mr. Dawson? Who would be following Lamont around now?"

Then, Joseph paused for a while, and he was deep in thought before answering, "Well, perhaps it could be my sister's men?"

"Why would your elder sister be sending people to follow Lamont?"

"I have no idea," Joseph shook his head to dismiss the idea, "Do you have anything else to report?"

"Yes, just one more thing. Isabella went out on a date with a man in a coffee shop today. Our sources reported that their relationship is possibly more than just normal friends as they were behaving intimately with each other."

"Is that so?" Joseph was smiling, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "Well, this is interesting. Make sure we don't lose track of Isabella. I wonder what Liam would think after catching her in the act.”
