The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 54

Paige knew it well that there must be a conspiracy waiting for her but she hadn't formed any expectation at those people going so far as to be so despicable, so she didn't really pay much attention to it.

In the evening, she cooked dinner early and waited for Bob. Bob went home on time.

At mealtime Bob told Paige, "Your father, Sophia and her mother, the three of them are going to be together again."

"How do you know?" Paige asked.

He learned it from James, who said that Liam and the Dawson family would soon be talking about a partnership.

Sophia and Ethan were said to have made a high-profile appearance at the office today. After a period of silence, the two made up again. Needless to say, Elizabeth gave Sophia and Ethan permission to continue their relationship for the sake of Sophia's pregnancy.

Elizabeth was not that stupid. She would not compromise just because Sophia was pregnant. In Joseph's opinion, Elizabeth must have reached an agreement with Sophia.

And that agreement must have something to do with the Anderson family. So he thought it was necessary to warn Paige. It did not occur to him that she should ask him how he knew. So he made another fabricated excuse, "I heard it from James."

"You're just a driver, James even told you about this?" Paige picked holes in his saying.

Bob laughed, "I overheard his phone conversation." The answer held water.

"I can't do anything with this. As long as those disgusting mother and daughter don't bother me, I'll be fine."

"Don't be that stupid. They'll stop at nothing until they marry into a wealthy family. And with all the wealth of your family, are you willing to give it up to them?"

She needed to think it over carefully, because half of the share belonged to her mother, Natalie.

After Natalie's death, those shares had been transferred to her. Liam could only transfer his own part.

She had saw through Liam. She didn't care whether he was to continue taking possession of her share. Bob was the one who created a "surprise" tonight because he brought the share up, as a person who never talked about property before.

"Maybe he's with me for another purpose? For my shares in the company?"

This made Paige uncomfortable. She frowned and looked at him in disbelief.

"If I were not Liam's daughter, or he wouldn't give me even a penny, would you still love me?"

"Of course!" Bob was clever enough to know what was in Paige' head.

He stopped eating and kept a tight grip on her hand, and stared at her very seriously, "I was not

interested in your shares or property. Not now, not forever. I promise!"

Bob's words reassured Paige. She was amused that she should have suspected Bob.

The man love her so deeply. She shouldn't have done this.

She kissed Bob out of guilt, "I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have said that."

"Not at all. If I were you, I would have thought like that too."

So he knew what she was thinking about. Paige felt it amazing for Bob to read her mind.

They put it in the past. After dinner, Bob offered to do the dishes.

He spilled water all over the ground, and Paige had to mop the floor following him.

"Forget it. I'll do the dishes. You can't even do the dishes. Are you too spoiled?"

Bob laughed, "I can do it. You cook and I do the dishes. We get a clear division of labour, don't we?"

Afterwards, the two cuddled up on the sofa and watched TV for a while. Bob accompanied her to watch soap opera.

While he kept flirting with her.

They had a hot night like the previous ones Ravishing. Paige was lethargic. Then Bob's phone rang.

He answered it in a low voice, "Hello?"

It was James on the phone. He said in a quick and nervous voice, "Mr. Dawson, Master Dawson came down with illness. Come here right now!"

Bob ended the phone and began to get dressed in haste. Paige heard the noises and opened the eyes, "What are you doing?"

"To pick James up. I'll get back later. Be a good girl and sleep by yourself!" Bob pecked on her cheek and left in haste.

Master Dawson suddenly fell into a coma at dinner and several doctors were battling to save his life.

Having received the news, Joseph rushed to the hospital, and his brothers, Charles Dawson, George Dawson and Philip Dawson, had already been waiting there.

This was the first time the four brothers had been seen together. They all inherited Master Dawson's handsomeness.

Especially Joseph, the nurses was swooning at first sight of this oh-so-handsome man.

However, it were not only the girls staring at Joseph, but also his two old half-brothers, George and Philip.

The three brothers were the offsprings of Master Dawson's first wife.

And Joseph was the child of the second wife who had died birthing the second child. I Joseph was

away from the country since eight. There were very few people who knew him at home.

Charles, the eldest child, didn't know about Joseph's return until yesterday. But he didn't inform the others, so George and Philip were startled when Joseph turned up.

Ignoring the sight, Joseph walked straight towards Charles, "Charles, what's going on?"

"Not good! The doctors are trying their best to save him." Charles sighed and tapped

Joseph on the shoulder, "We need to work up to facing the results."

Joseph nodded. Philip could not help but ask, "Joseph, When did you get back?"

"I've been back for quite a long time." Joseph was a man of few words.

Charles, the calculating one, pretended they were good as they used to be facing the most loved son by Master Dawson.

However, George and Philip, who was not tricky as Charles was, did not disguise themselves. They looked at Joseph with unfriendly eyes and said in a weird tone, "I thought you would live abroad forever. What are you back for?"

"Our father fell ill. I came back to look after him." Joseph answered lightly.

"I don't know that you are so dutiful, Joseph." George sneered, "It's an excuse for the property, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I heard that father has gave you a huge amount of property. You probably have blew at least a

few billion dollars abroad?" Philip satirized him.

"You heard it, by the grapevine, right? Or the proof?" Joseph asked lightly.

This made Philip look at Charles, "Charles, I thought you.

"Shut up! Our father is in a vital period now while you are talking about these unimportant things here. Aren't you shameless?" Charles's face darkened and he fiercely scolded them.

Charles meant to sit on the side-lines and waited to see who would win. But he didn't expect that Philip would direct the fire to him. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He was the one who incited George and Philip with the "a few billion dollars" thing.

His was to make them hate Joseph, while he had been playing the role of a good brother to Joseph. Now Philip almost made a slip of the tongue and sold him, which made Charles scolded Philip for being stupid and glared at Philip to interrupt him.

Philip deferred to Charles in these matters so he shut.

But Joseph thought with a sneer, "A few billion dollars? It was nothing but mudslinging from Charles. Interesting!"
