The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 317

Joseph carried Paige and placed her on the bed inside their room, "Alright, you can tell me now."

"Guess what I did today? I managed to not only switch out the official seal of the company with a fake one, but I also got Abbie and Aiden to freeze all the company's funds! I'm amazing, right?"

"Wow, that's awesome! How did you do that?" Joseph pretended to be shocked but he was secretly enjoying Paige's satisfied expression.

"Wait, aren't you curious as to why I had to do this? I found out that our fathers colluded to take out a ten billion loan so that they could steal my company's funds!"

"What a smart girl!" Joseph praised as he gave Paige a thumbs-up, "So who was the one who told you about their plans?"

"It was Hardy," Paige stated honestly as she began to tell Joseph about the messages that Hardy had sent to her.

"So why did you evade me and not tell me about this problem in the first place?" Joseph questioned, pinching her face while putting on a strict expression on his face.

"I wasn't evading you. It's just that Hardy's information might be false and I just wanted to have sufficient evidence before reporting it to you."

Joseph felt better after hearing her explanation, "I'll forgive you this time, but I have to be the first person you approach if something like this happens again, alright?"

"Alright, but aren't you upset with me for going against your father?" Paige asked bitterly as she met Joseph's gaze with tearing eyes, "You won't think of me as an evil woman just because I plotted this whole scheme right?"

"Of course I won't! In the first place, you were only forced to fight back because they were plotting to steal your company's funds. But if you tell me about your future plans, I might be able to give you suggestions that would work against my cunning father."

Paige was relieved, this meant that Joseph would support her actions no matter what, "Also, Hardy sent a photo of Isabella going out on a date with a stranger today. They were behaving intimately though."

As she was explaining, Paige swiped through her phone to find the photo before showing it to Joseph, "Here, take a look."

Joseph took her phone and looked at the photo carefully, "Yeah, they look more than friends."

"I want to find someone to follow Isabella around, do you have any recommendations?" Joseph was overjoyed as this was the first time that Paige had actually asked for his help directly, "Of course, I'll get someone on it. If you face any problems in the future, you should tell me so I can help you too."

"What else can you do?" Paige glanced at Joseph suspiciously. It would be easy for Jospeh to send someone to follow Isabella because of the number of bodyguards that he had, but it seemed like anything else was impossible.

"I can help you with anything you want as long as you ask for it."

"You're kidding!" Paige rolled her eyes at Joseph before stating, "Well, helping me with everything might be impossible, but you'll support me throughout hard times, won't you?"

Joseph didn't know how to react and he decided to pretend to be angry instead, "Why don't you believe in me? Don't you know that can grant all your wishes?"

"Yeah right... I believe you," Paige sat up and kissed Jospeh deeply, "I'll come to you for help if I need it, alright?"

"That's right!" Joseph returned the favour with another deep kiss as he pushed her onto the bed.

And they rolled around in the sheets until dawn...

After Paige and Joseph had left the dinner hall, Lucas had ordered Steven to send Paisley back home before escorting Hayden out of Wolf Group.

Hayden had a helpless expression on his face as he rubbed his forehead in annoyance.

"That ungrateful brat, now that he offended the elders of Dawson Group, they would only pick on him more!"

Lucas smiled, "It's alright, Sir Joseph will be fine, you still support him after all."

"That brat needs to learn how to take care of himself! I won't be here forever, and that's why I left Paisley and Hardy to help him so that he could deal with Charles's cunning tricks in the future. But even though I already planned out his future for him, he decides to repay me by dating Paige instead!"

"Don't worry too much Master, Sir Joseph is actually smarter than you think. I'm sure he'll cross that bridge when he gets to it, after all, he is your son right?"

"I hope so too. I'll do my best to plan his future for him, but I can't do anything more than that," Hayden answered as he checked his watch, "Liam must have been waiting for such a long time, let's meet him at the coffee shop."

"Sir, are you really colluding with Liam? I've heard rumours about his illegal actions…"

Hayden interrupted Lucas before he could finish, "I know Liam's personality even better than you do. But I have to do this for Joseph."

Lucas decided to stop his persuasion as it was obvious that Hayden had made up his mind, and he drove them both to the coffee shop silently.

Liam had arrived an hour before Hayden did, and he was worried that Hayden had decided not to go ahead with their plans.

He let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw Lucas and Hayden's figures, and he reached for the debt contract in his bag.

As Lucas started to go over the details of the contract meticulously, Liam smiled as he offered a cigarette to Hayden, "Do you smoke?"

Hayden waved, "I don't unfortunately. Are you sure about your decision? There's no going back once this contract has been signed and Anderson Group will not exist anymore."

"Don't worry, I've thought about it carefully," Liam answered with a smile. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alright, let's confirm the deal then. Where's your seal?"

Both Liam and Hayden signed the contract and stamped the official seals of their companies on it.

"The ten billion will be handed over to you once the ownership of your company has been transferred over to the Dawson Group."

"Thank you!" Liam replied excitedly, thinking about the money that he would receive.

After the other executives had left, Charles and Elizabeth made their way to a car outside Wolf Group.

Charles, who was on the back row, glanced at Elizabeth's upset face before saying, "You dumb b*itch!"

Charles had been humiliated completely tonight and Elizabeth was prepared for the repercussions that would come from it. It was all her fault, and she knew that Charles would not forgive her mistake.

Charles stared at Elizabeth slightly before sighing again, "Get out and go back to the villa yourself. I'll deal with you once I'm done with my business."

Elizabeth got of the car without a word and watched as Charles drove away with loathsome eyes.

A few minutes later, Elizabeth left the car-park and rented a taxi, "Merton Condominium, please!"
