The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 214

In the afternoon, she excused herself by saying she needed to take care of some matters. However, she returned to Lake View Nest.

Everything was the same as the day they had quarreled. She didn't clean up that day as she left in a rush. Joseph most definitely wouldn't come back to clean it up.

She reminisced the sweet memories she shared with Joseph as she stared at the messy house.

There was a pang of hurt as Paige bent down to clean the mess.

After she was done, she walked to the room with heavy footsteps. She could see her suitcase once she opened the door.

The luggage was packed when they quarreled for the first time. She sat by the bed and stared into space as she looked at the luggage.

The last time she came back to pack her bags, Joseph had rushed to stop her from leaving. Would he do the same this time?

She knew that it was only her wishful thinking. Joseph had already admitted that they had broken up. So why would he stop her?

Paige could easily walk out with her luggage, but she was reluctant to leave.

If she left that day, she would never have a reason to return. So she hoped that Joseph would come back and stop her from leaving.

With this faint hope, Paige waited in the house for two hours. Even until the evening sky had turned into molten brass. Joseph still hadn't appeared.

Paige knew that what she hoped for would not come true. So she smiled bitterly and walked out of the room with her luggage in hand. Once she reached the living room, she heard the door being opened and she halted in her steps.

The door was pushed open, but it wasn't Joseph who entered. It was Bobby instead.

When he saw Paige in the room, he was shocked. "Uh, Miss Anderson?"

"I'm just here to take something," she mustered up a smile.

"I see. I'm here to get something for Sir Joseph too," Bobby explained.

"I see," Paige said.

Bobby's words made her heart turn cold. Joseph had already decided to move out, but there she was hoping that he was going to make her stay. She felt she was just so stupid.

She carried her suitcase in a hurry and strode to the lift. Bobby scratched his head and decided to call Joseph. "Sir Joseph, I came to get your stuff and I met Miss Anderson. She's here for her stuff, should I stop her from leaving?"

Joseph answered coldly, "Stop her? Those are her legs, she can just leave if she wants to."

Bobby scratched his head again. Maybe he shouldn't have made that call.

When she arrived downstairs, Paige put her luggage in the car booth and started the engine. Tears were about to spill from her eyes.

The breakup with Joseph felt worse than she had expected. If she hadn't scolded Joseph like that, would they come to this extent? Why didn't she restrain herself a little? Paige thought with teary eyes.

She was a spoiled woman. She always thought that she would be loved and spoiled by Joseph. Never did she expect that there was a limit to his love.

Perhaps he longed to break up with her. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Didn't the rumours say that no woman could be with him for more than three months?

She had been together with Joseph for more than three months, so the reason for breaking up wasn't because she was too unreasonable. It must be because he was bored with her and he had met Paisley Anthony.

As Paige's imagination ran wild, her phone rang. It was Liam, so she picked it up.

As soon as she was about to answer it, a car appeared out of nowhere. She shouted in shock and her phone fell out from her grip.

She was frozen in shock when she watched her car crash into another.

Luckily, only the bonnet of her car was damaged and she wasn't injured.

The owner of the other car was a middle-aged bald man. There was a little bruise on his forehead. Looking at how his favourite car was damaged, he got down in anger.

Paige was still in shock when the man pointed at her and started scolding her.

Seeing how she was timid and afraid, he began to get ruder.

He started cursing her. Paige was so angry that she retorted, "How can you curse at me?"

"What can you do about it? I just bought this new car and I am so angry about it! Don't drive if you don't know how to! What the..."

He was calling out a string of dirty words when someone grabbed his collar and punched him in his face.

His mouth was instantly covered in blood and he stopped cursing.

Paige's eyes were wide open as she watched this scene unfold. That person then punched him in the stomach twice until he begged for mercy.

The bald man covered his stomach and knelt on the ground. Paige stepped back in fright and that person supported her waist. "You must be shocked."

"I... Mr. Anthony, Paige did not know what to say as he appeared in front of her.

With Hardy's help, the accident was quickly dealt with. It was the man's fault for not letting Paige's car have a go first. And when the police arrived, he was fined.

Paige's car was damaged and couldn't be driven. So it was towed away by the repair factory. Afterward, she got on Hardy's car.

After getting in the car, Paige came to her senses and said, "Thank you, Mr. Anthony."

"It's nothing. Are you alright? You must be really shocked."

"A little."

"Have you eaten yet? I haven't had my dinner. Why don't we take dinner together?"

Thinking about how he helped her, Paige did not refuse. "Alright, I'll treat you."

"How can I let a woman treat me?" Hardy smiled and said, "I'll treat you, let's go to Revolving Restaurant."

"Okay!" Paige nodded and agreed.

The both of them entered Revolving Restaurant. Hardy wanted a seat by the window, where he could enjoy the night view.

As soon as Paige and Hardy sat down and finished ordering, Michael entered with a few friends. He could immediately see Paige and Hardy sitting together by the window. An incredulous look spread across his face.

In the Dawson family, Joseph was lying lazily on the sofa while Hayden was talking to him sincerely.

"You have done a good job today and made me proud. This is the first time I feel so happy. You have to continue working hard. I don't expect you to be like Hardy. But at least be like Aiden." Hearing Hardy's name made Joseph laugh out. Hayden knew that he didn't like Hardy.

"Don't look so indignant. Hardy is the same age as you, but he can obviously handle things better than you. He is so much more mature. You didn't have to embarrass him in public, right?"

"Alright, I'll be sure to learn from Hardy," Joseph emphasized. Hayden could tell that he wasn't going to listen to what he said by his attitude.

He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll stop talking about him. Tell me what happened with Elizabeth today. Even though she is a shameless woman, you didn't have to embarrass her. After all, she is your sister- in-law."

"Alright, I'II be sure to take everything in if she ever mocks me again. I have to since she's my sister-in- law.. "

Hayden shook his head and laughed at his words. "Forget it, I'll stop talking. You're annoyed with talking to me, right? Go on out and have fun."

"Alright, I'II be leaving now," Joseph stood up immediately. Seeing how excited he was to leave, Hayden stopped him again.

"Paisley is a really great woman. You have to contact her frequently. After all, she saved me before."

"Why should I contact her? Should I marry her just because she saved you?"

Hayden was stunned by what he said. Did Joseph have no interest in her at all?

While he was still in a daze, he heard the footsteps of Joseph retreating. The expressions on his face changed in seconds.
