The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 313

Paige got off her car and met up with Abbie, who had arrived before her.

Abbie was grinning from ear to ear as she greeted Paige, "Well, something good must have happened to you, right?"

Paige sat down and gulped down a glass of water before answering, "I have shocking news, today I discovered that there is an evil streak inside me after all."

Abbie was excited to know more, "Really, what mischief have you gotten yourself into this time?"

"Shush! Don't be too loud, you never know who might be listening in to our conversation," Paige pretended to look around suspiciously before lowering her voice as she moved closer to whisper to Abbie. "Can you believe it? I actually switched out the company's official seal to a fake one!"

"Wow!" Abbie exclaimed while sticking out her tongue, "I can't believe you did that!"

"Right? I guess people do end up taking desperate measures when they are forced into unfavourable situations after all" Paige answered gleefully.

"By the way, you haven't told me what happened with you and your father," Abbie urged Paige, remembering what Aiden had requested her to find out.

Paige sighed and repeated everything that Hardy had told her beforehand, "I was driven in a corner at that time, and I had no choice but to ask your brother for help."

Hearing Paige's story, Abbie was furious, "Does Joseph know about this? Both your father and Hayden

are insane!"

"No, I haven't told him. I made my plans after hearing about it from Hardy because this whole issue might have not even been true. I only confirmed it after overhearing the discussion between Kyrie and my father. I'm really conflicted, should I even tell Joseph about it?" Paige asked.

"You definitely should!"

"There's a lot on my plate right now. I have to worry about the company's issues, and I have to think about Joseph at the same time. You know about his foul temper, don't you? I'II be in trouble if he decides to ask Hayden about it!" Paige groaned.

Abbie was confused, "Why are you so concerned about Joseph?"

"He's a playboy! I heard that Hayden decided to hire Paisley into the Dawson Group, and you know how cunning she can be. What if she seduces Joseph and he breaks up with me?"

Abbie tried to comfort Paige, "Look, if Joseph really cheats on you, that means that he doesn't deserve you after all! Instead of crying about him leaving you, you should be celebrating about getting rid of him instead! Don't worry, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

"You're right, I'll think about what I can do after this. Let's enjoy our meal first, I might be too busy to meet you again soon."

Both of them immediately stopped talking as the waiter brought their dishes in. Paige was extremely hungry, and she started gulping down the food in front of her once it had been served.

Hearing her phone ring, Paige immediately put down her food to check her message.

Her jaw dropped when she saw the picture that Hardy had sent to her.

The photo was taken from a weird angle, but even the lighting in the dimly lit cafe couldn't hide the figures of Isabella and another man.

Paige was confused, why would Hardly send her a photo of Isabella and another stranger?

While she was deep in thought, another message from Hardy arrived, "Paige, is this Isabella Martin, you dad's mistress?" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"That's right! What about her?"

"Well, I just saw her being all intimate with this other man." Paige was shocked.

Why did Hardy send this message?

If she wasn't mistaken, could he be hinting that Isabella was dating other men behind Liam's back?

Paige immediately replied, "What sort of intimate behaviour are we talking about here?"

"It's exactly what you think. They were acting like a couple with the man's hands around Isabella's waist."

Paige was stunned, was Isabella really cheating on Liam?

Something wasn't right here, why would Isabella cheat on Liam? Didn't she claim that she had finally found the love of her life when she got together with Liam?

Right, Isabella couldn't be cheating on Liam!

However, Paige knew that Hardy would never send her this photo and talk about Isabella behind her back on a whim. After all, he hadn't been lying when he told him about Hayden and Liam's plans, which meant that this incident was true as well.

Paige shook herself off her thoughts, "I got it, thank you Mr. Anthony!"

Abbie had been sitting across Paige this whole time and she put down her chopsticks before asking, "What's wrong?"

"Look at what Hardy sent me," Paige stated, showing Abbie the picture on her phone.

"Wow, this is your chance, Paige! As long as you can find hard evidence that Isabella is cheating on Liam and send it to him, they'll both be done for! Now all you have to do is find someone to follow Isabella around to investigate this."

Paige grinned, "You're right, let me discuss with Joseph before I get someone to do so." After saying goodbye to Abbie, Paige made her way back to the Central South Building, but there Liam and Kyrie were not back yet.

She decided to call Liam under the pretence of being worried about Kyrie's injuries. The reply she got was that the injury on Kyrie's eye was too serious. He wouldn't be able to start work anytime soon since

he had to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Paige smiled in glee secretly after hearing the news. Putting down the phone, she stayed in the company until five to review some documents before heading back home.

As she was walking out of the company, she decided to call Joseph, "What's up?"

"I miss you," Joseph answered.

"Please, who would believe such nonsense?"

"I really miss you so much. I was about to pick up the phone to call you just now too, our hearts are really connected, aren't they?" Joseph laughed softly.

Paige was speechless. She knew that Joseph had a way around with words, he even managed to twist and turn his way around to say all these, "Why were you looking for me?"

"Must there be a reason for me to call you?"

"Stop spouting nonsense. Anyways, are you free to talk?" Paige was annoyed and she couldn't bear to listen to his words any longer.

"I would make time for you even if I am busy. You know that you're always my first priority after all," Joseph flirted back.

"Joseph, stop acting so corny and speak normally for once, will you?" Paige sighed in annoyance as her fingers rubbed the sides of her forehead, "Look, do you want to know what's going on with our

fathers?" Joseph became serious after hearing Paige's words.

He knew that Paige was planning to tell him the truth, but this was really earlier than he had expected. But he couldn't refuse her, could he? "Of course, tell me."

"Are you picking me up then? Or should I go over?"

"I'm at Dawson group, why don't you come and pick me up from work?" Joseph smiled.

"Alright, I'll be there in about half an hour…”

Joseph hung up the phone with a gentle smile. But he immediately regained his composure when there was a knock on his door, "Come in!"

It was Steven Barrack, his secretary, "Sir Joseph, Mr. Dawson has requested everyone's presence in the company dinner tonight."

"Why are there so many events getting in my way?" Joseph frowned and annoyed by Hayden antics.

"You should at least show your face during the dinner tonight, it is Sir Hayden's order after all" Steven smiled while answering.

"Am I allowed to bring my family members with me?" Joseph retorted.

The secretary paused for a moment before answering, "Well, he didn't say you couldn't."

"I understand, I'II be there on time tonight," A mischievous look flashed through Joseph's eyes as he

replied.

Meanwhile, Paisley was in the office next door fixing her makeup. The company dinner tonight was another chance for her and she was determined to make use of this opportunity to catch Joseph's attention completely.
