The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 188

"Your dad brought his mistress and daughter back home yesterday, and now everyone's talking about it. They are calling him shameless for letting his mistress stay in the house of his late wife. Also, they dug out that he was just a guy from the countryside that married a city woman. He must be fuming with anger now."

"Who's behind this?" Paige was shocked.

"Who else could it be? I think the only person capable of this would be Joseph. He must have done it to avenge you," Abbie guessed.

"Why didn't he ask me before doing this?" Paige was a little angry with this.

"I'm sure he was only trying to help you. Joseph must be angry with how badly your dad treats you while he treats them like queens. To be honest, I can understand why he did that. He looks so much more manly now."

"Manly? This is outrageous. Let me go check out what is happening. Bye!" Paige immediately searched for the news of her father online. 'Liam Anderson, the country bumpkin who turned into a city gentleman, by flirting with Natalie Garcia."

Seeing the headlines of the newspaper, Paige shook with anger.

Liam was still her biological father no matter what. Even though they were constantly arguing, it was wrong to let him get scolded by everyone online.

Besides her father getting criticized, her late mother, Natalie, would also be gossiped about.

It was fine if her father was the only one criticized. However, she could not bear it if her mother was also humiliated.

Her mother was gentle, kind, talented, and smart. That was how she earned the trust and respect of the other wealthy families.

And now, they were criticizing and gossiping about someone that had already passed away. Obviously, Paige was angry about it.

In anger, Paige put on her clothes and went out of the room to look for Joseph. Just as she reached the living room, the apartment door opened and he walked in.

He held a Wolf Group bag in his hand and smiled sweetly at Paige when he saw her, "You're awake, I've bought some delicious food for you."

"I don't wanna eat what you bought! Joseph Dawson, you've gone overboard this time. Why didn't you ask me before posting that news online?" Paige demanded angrily.

Joseph immediately understood that she thought it was him who did that. He quickly explained, "It wasn't me! You've got the wrong idea." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Who else could it be then? It's so shameless of you to decide that on your own. Don't you know what would happen by doing this?"

"It really isn't me! Listen to me," Joseph was about to explain, but Paige refused to listen.

She could not bear the thought of her virtuous and gentle mother being criticized by the public. Thinking about it made her fume with rage.

"What gives you the right to do this? Who do you think you are? You can make the headlines every day since you're so thick-skinned. My parents are not like you, they need to keep their dignity and honor. If you post things like this, how is he going to face others in the future?"

Joseph had specially gone to Wolf Group early in the morning to get food for her. But now, he was scolded for no reason the moment he entered the house.

She also mentioned that the issue of him being popular in the headlines before was no better than Liam. How could such a cunning man be compared to him?

This sparked anger in Joseph and his expression immediately turned dark, "You think that your dad still deserves any dignity and honor?"

"Why not? He's not like you, a womanizer that doesn't take any responsibilities. All you are capable of is flirting around with women, drinking at bars, gambling, and you don't even have a job. All you know is to live off your…" Paige stopped short when she saw Joseph's face turn ghastly. He looked at her with an icy glare, and she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

"Go on", Joseph gritted his teeth and stared at her, "Why did you stop?"

"Fine, I'll say it. If you dare to do such a thing, you shouldn't be afraid of others talking about it. Stop acting all high and mighty. I'm telling you, stop interfering in my matters. You had better give me an explanation about this. Or else, I won't let you off so easily."

"What kind of explanation do you want?"

"Remove the headlines immediately! And then get someone to apologize for this..." Before Paige could finish her sentence, Joseph threw the bag he was holding on the ground.

"Crash!" Paige jumped in shock. The soup inside had spilled all over the floor. Joseph's eyes were cold and dark.

"Are you threatening me? Paige Anderson, what do you take me as? Someone you can order around? Yes, I always listen to you and do as you say. But that's because I like you. That doesn't mean that you can accuse me like this. You have angered me. That is impossible for me to apologize." After saying that, he walked out and slammed the door loudly.
