The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 318



Chapter 318

In Merton Condominium, Ethan had just finished his shower when his doorbell rang.

He opened the door and the sight of a haggard Elizabeth greeted him.

"Aunt Elizabeth, why are you here? What happened?"

Elizabeth kicked her shoes off angrily and made her way to the sofa before sighing heavily, "Joseph embarrassed me in front of all the other executives tonight!"

"That b*stard embarrassed you? How dare he do so?" Ethan had never gotten along with Joseph.

"Our great Sir Joseph is the next head of the Dawson Family, who would dare to stop him from doing so?" Elizabeth smiled coldly, bummed out at the events that had happened.

"After the dinner tonight, I realised that they never treated me like one of their family members after all. Hayden, Charles, Joseph, none of them recognise my efforts! It's even more annoying because I can't do anything about it!"

Ethan was furious after hearing about Elizabeth's complaints, "The Dawson family has gone too far! Don't worry Aunt, I'll definitely make sure they pay the price for treating you this way."

"Humph!" Elizabeth sighed heavily again. She once believed that Ethan could make a name for himself in the future, but now she suspected her own beliefs.

Could Ethan really meet her expectations?

Ethan knew that Elizabeth was disappointed in him as she continued sighing.

"Don't worry Aunt Elizabeth, my company is in talks with Acma Corporation, we'll be fine once the project starts."

"You're working with Acma Corporation?" Elizabeth was shocked.

"That's right. Hardy had dismissed our plans beforehand, but we received a call from Acma Corporation saying that their Lady was interested in our project. So I changed some of the terms of the contract according to their wishes, and they agreed to work together with us this afternoon.

"Was it Paisley that contacted you?" Elizabeth couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Isn't Paisley Joseph's business partner? Why would she help you? Wait, is she doing this to get rid of Paige? It must be!"

After all, the enemy of an enemy was a friend indeed, and Paisley was helping Ethan just because they had one common enemy, which was Paige.

Elizabeth was excited, but she calmed herself down before waning Ethan, "Listen, you need to make sure that you work together with Paisley to build up your company."

Elizabeth felt more hopeful now that Ethan had secured a contract with Acma Corporation, so her disappointment and grievance were dissipated.

Of course, as the daughter of the fallen Green family, she had also worked hard throughout the years

to marry Charles.

Her efforts would not be in vain as long as Ethan managed to build their family's company back up.

Elizabeth left Merton Condominium in a better mood and headed back to the Dawson family villa.

Instead of asking the taxi driver to drop her off at the doorstep, Elizabeth got off in front of the main gate and started the ten-minute walk back to the door.

She knew Charles well, he would be fine once he had blown off some steam. She just had to think of how to deal with him later.

If he wanted to take out his anger on her, then she would bear with it until Ethan had finally gotten on his own feet.

Deep in thought, Elizabeth was making her way through the villa's garden when she heard a woman's mourning sounds coming from a nearby pavilion. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Why would someone be secretly meeting in a garden that was inside the Dawson Villa?

Elizabeth couldn't believe what she hearing and she stole a glance at the villa in distaste.

To her shock, she saw Isabella in the arms of a stranger!

Why was Isabella meeting another man in the pavilion when she was already pregnant with Liam's child?

As Elizabeth was about the leave, a phone rang through the darkness. The female figure rushed to pick up the call hurriedly before answering, "Hi Liam, I'm just taking a walk in the garden. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

So Isabella was really cheating on Liam after all!

Elizabeth was stunned but she quickly recovered herself when she realized that she could use this incident in her favour.

She made her way back to the pavilion before greeting Isabella with a smile, "How are you doing, Ms. Martin?"

Isabella froze as she turned over to Elizabeth's direction with a stiff expression. She was about to cover the man that was with her but it was too late, Elizabeth had caught them in the act.

Elizabeth had managed to snap photos of the disheveled Isabella and the man who was with her. The man who had been hiding behind Isabella immediately rushed forward and attempted to snatch her phone from her hands.

Elizabeth took a few steps back in surprise before scoffing, "Don't move. Everyone will be here to witness this scene if I scream now"

Isabella stopped the unfamiliar man before saying, "Leave us, I'll deal with this issue myself. Madam Dawson here and I have known each other for years now."

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" The man asked quietly.

"Yes, why don't you leave first? I'll deal with it," Isabella comforted him.

The man turned back and gave Elizabeth a fierce glare before leaving.

Isabella did not appear to be nervous at all even though she knew that Elizabeth had caught her cheating, "So Madam Dawson, what do you want in return? Name a price."

Elizabeth was elated as it was obvious that Isabella was just trying to maintain a calm facade.

Isabella was probably the most shameless person that Elizabeth had ever met, as she was willing to resort to any methods possible to achieve her goals.

Elizabeth smiled, "Well, I guess the only common target we have is Paige, isn't that right?"

Isabella smiled before answering, "You're right, but I myself have plans to deal with her. I'm planning to get rid of her in just a few days, so why don't you sit back and wait for the news?"

"I guess I’ve been too impatient, that b*tch has took things too far this time after all." Elizabeth could not get revenge on Joseph, and therefore she could only get rid of Paige

She did not bother to hide her excitement from Isabella seeing that they had a common goal, "Would it be possible to tell me your plans in advance?"

"I'm afraid not, but I do have a suggestion for you. Liam is looking for a perverted old man to marry Paige off, do you have any recommendations?"

"I have the perfect candidate actually," Elizabeth's eyes lit up at Isabella's suggestion.

"What a coincidence!" Isabella agreed with gleaming eyes, "Let's sit down and discuss about it then!"
