The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 290

When Paige got up in the morning, Joseph had already left.

Bobby said that he had gone to the Dawson Group for a meeting. Even though he wasn't around, he had prepared the Wolf Group's breakfast for her.

Paige sat at the table to have breakfast and thought about her troubles as she ate.

Liam definitely wouldn't stop plotting against her after Joseph had interrupted his plan last night. With her understanding of him, he would try to do the same thing again.

This time, she would not walk into the trap as easily as she did yesterday. She had to think of a way to counter it.

"What should I do?" Paige thought of what Abbie said to her last time.

She had to learn how to manage a company.

In order to not let Liam succeed in his plans, she had to firmly have her mother's company in her control. Liam was now in charge of the company, and he certainly would not hand over his power easily. He was already so vicious towards her, so he definitely would not agree with her plan if she were to go to the company now.

She had to find a way to enter the company.

As she was thinking it, he called her.

Pretending to be the kind and gentle father, Liam asked, "Paige, how do you feel? Does your head still hurt?"

Paige smiled calmly, "It was bad last night, but I'm much better now."

"That is good to hear. By the way, are you free at noon? Dad will treat you to something delicious again," he invited her to have a meal again.

"Okay! I don't have much to do for now," Paige answered quickly.

"I'll pick you up, then?" Liam smiled cunningly when she easily agreed to his invitation. Just as he thought, she was innocent and gullible, so she didn't doubt what had happened last night at all.

"No, I'll come to you. I have something to tell you," After hanging up, Paige scoffed. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

He didn't succeed last night, so he was thinking of treating her to a meal and doing the same thing again. How stupid did he think she was?

Since he thought that she was so stupid, she had to give them some trouble today. She had to do something to Liam and Sophia.

In Liam's office in the Central South Building, he said with a sneer after hanging up the phone, "Idiot!"

On the opposite side, Sophia said with a smile, "Dad, is Paige, the fool, walking right into the trap again?"

Liam laughed and said, "Yes, she didn't doubt me at all. She's really stupid! Since then, it's easier for me to get things done. You should print out a contract and make the preparations. By the way, do you still have the medicine Kyrie gave yesterday? If so, you should prepare it. She likes to drink juice, so put some in it later. Remember not to put too much though."

Sophia agreed and went downstairs to prepare, while Liam narrowed his eyes and sneered complacently.

At the Dawson Group, a stylish limited edition sports car rushed to the entrance of the company's building at the speed of light.

After a while, Joseph opened the car door.

With his hands in his pockets, he slowly got out of the car and walked into the building.

It was peak work hour when he handsomely entered the company with a white shirt.

The sound of gasping could be heard one after another. He entered the VIP elevator under the watchful eyes of all the female employees.

After he left their sights, a group of female employees began to talk about him, "He's too handsome!"

"I know, right? My eyes were literally glued to him! Who wouldn't like such a handsome man?"

"Yeah, you're right. Just his aura, it's enough to make any girl weak! I wonder who will have the glory to marry him!"

"It definitely wouldn't be someone like us."

"Not necessarily. I heard that Joseph likes pretty girls. You'll have a chance if you have the looks. If we find excuses to accidentally meet him in the elevator, in the restaurant, or in the parking lot, we might be able to start something out of it. Having a fling with him would already be more than enough for me!"

Paisley had entered the company amidst the discussion of the female employees. When she heard what they were talking about, a look of disgust appeared on her face.

"These low-class women, don't they know their place? Joseph is not someone they can simply daydream about." Everyone was unfamiliar with Paisley's gorgeous appearance. They stopped their discussion and rushed into the elevator as it arrived. Usually, Paisley would be disgusted to squeeze in an elevator with low-status employees.

However, this was Dawson Group, not the Acma Corporation. She had come to the Dawson Group for her job today, so she naturally couldn't be nit-picky. Thus, she entered the elevator as well.

When they saw such an unfamiliar yet beautiful woman, everyone stared at her and tried to guess who she was.

Paisley was a person who had experienced all kinds of difficulties. Facing so much attention, she stood calmly in the elevator.

She reached out to press the button on the chairman's floor. They saw the button she had pressed and they made wild guesses about her identity.

She was so beautiful, cool, and elegant. Why was she going to the management floor?

The elevator stopped floor-by-floor, and the staff inside left in twos or threes. Soon, Paisley's elevator stopped at the chairman's floor, and she walked out with confidence.

Walking out of the elevator, she saw Lucas who was making a phone call in the corridor.

He also saw her and hurried over while putting away his phone, "Good morning, Miss Anthony!"

"Good morning, Lucas!" The arrogance on Paisley's face disappeared in an instant and she responded with a smile.

"Mr. Dawson is already waiting for you in the office. This way, please." He led her to the Chairman's office and opened the door for her.

In the office of the deputy general manager downstairs, Joseph sat down and looked at the secretary with narrowed eyes, "What's the content of today's meeting?"

The secretary began to report, "Mainly to discuss cooperation projects with Acma Corporation. Sir Hayden personally came over and appointed you to be in charge of the project. By the way, they also arranged a representative to come over."

This made Joseph frown, "What's Acma Corporation's purpose of sending a representative here? To supervise us?"

"They're not supervising us. They just want both cooperating parties to keep in touch." The secretary answered with a smile.

"They're not even that far from us, why would they need a representative? It's so unnecessary!" Joseph suddenly remembered something and his face changed. "Who is the representative for Acma Corporation?"

"It's Miss Anthony!"

When Joseph heard this, he laughed coldly.

The secretary felt a chill run down his spine after hearing his laughter.

When he was assigned to work next to Joseph, he thought that it would be easy for him since he heard that Joseph was a nonchalant playboy who didn't care about work.

It would be a breeze to be working under such a person, but it also meant that there won't be a future for him either.

But now he realized that Joseph was not easy to fool at all, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking at all.

He felt like he was walking on thin ice all the time because Joseph always asked him unexpected questions, leaving him dumbfounded, and Joseph would always sheer randomly.

He did not know why, but he would get goosebumps every time Joseph sneered.

He somehow always fell into these unlucky situations.

The secretary sighed in his heart and pretended to look at his watch, "Mr. Dawson, it's almost time for the meeting. Look at this."

"Then let's go!" Joseph stood up and left the office with his hands in his pockets.

The secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately followed him.
