Chapter 366
After having his way in the car with Sophia, Charles let her go in satisfaction.
She was indeed a seductive person who managed to make him lose control of himself.
After returning to normal, he said, "Is your father looking for Paige right now to use the 'family' card to take advantage of her?"
"Yes!" Sophia did not hide the truth. "My dad could not sit still with his losses. He was in a rage and forced me to look for her. But Paige hates me so much, so I know that there's no way she would agree to see me. If I can't get her to see him, he'll beat me up again!"
He frowned and said, "Liam is really cruel! It's okay, I'll help you look for her."
"Really? Thank you!" Sophia sighed in relief.
Charles fixed his clothes and got out of the car to enter the Wolf Group. Soon, he found the room Paige was in and went inside to look for her.
Although the people in the room hated Charles, they still respected him. Aiden and James suppressed their resentment and greeted him.
He greeted everyone with a smile on his face and looked at Paige. "Miss Anderson, Sophia has to talk to you about something. She said that your father was hospitalized. Although I know what happened so far between you two is quite horrendous, he's still your father, so I think you should visit him. It would be bad for your reputation if you don't."
"What reputation? When it comes to that, people in the business industry have the worst ones." Joseph said calmly.
"Yeah, I don't have a reputation either! Since Paige saw through Liam's awful plans, she is not obligated to care about him anymore. Good riddance!" Aiden also sneered.
Michael was even more ruthless. "Those who care about their reputations are all fake! Take Mr. Dawson for example. Do you care about your reputation?"
Lamont, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, burst into laughter when he heard that.
Upon hearing his laughter, Charles looked over with a ghastly look on his face. When he saw that it was Lamont, he was shocked.
"L... Lamont?"
"How have you been, Mr. Dawson?" Lamont laughed sarcastically. "You had an affair. You forced your wife to her death, and then the mistress took her place. You didn't care about your own son, but you raised your mistress' nephew like a treasure. Oh right, does your current mistress know about the women you play with now? Mr. Dawson, since you don't care about your own reputation, what right do you have to give Paige advice?"
Charles thought that everyone would take him seriously, so he was taken aback when none of them did.
Lamont's words, in particular, were a slap to his face. His face fell even more, but he swallowed the
anger bubbling in him.
He cleared his throat and said, "What everyone said makes sense, and Liam also had his own faults. But Paige is different from us. Currently, she still has a good reputation. There's no need for her to throw all of that away because of this situation."
"That's more like it!" Joseph sneered.
"Paige, why don't you go to the hospital?"
"Sure! You come with me too then." Paige was happy at the sight of everyone ganging up on Charles.
Joseph took her hand and stood up. "You guys continue with what you were doing. Paige and I will be back soon."
In the hospital, Liam finally received Sophia's call after waiting for three hours.
She asked him to get ready as Paige was on her way.
Liam put on a miserable act to face her.
Paige did not want Joseph to see Liam's disgusting facade, so she asked him to wait in the car. She went to the ward by herself and opened the door. Looking at Liam lying weakly on the bed with his eyes closed, she wanted to laugh.
With a look of surprise on her face, she said, "Ah, weren't you okay yesterday? Why are you like this today?"
Isabella replied, "Who knows? This was a sudden illness, and we're worried sick."
"Oh? What did the doctors say?" Paige said faintly.
"The doctor said that this happened because he was too triggered yesterday, so don't provoke him. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." Isabella made up the story on purpose to make Paige relate to his condition.
However, Paige sneered at her words.
"Provoke him? So you and your daughter provoked him?"
"How could that be?" Isabella immediately retorted. "We've always respected him. How could we have agitated him?"
Paige looked at her sarcastically and smiled. "If it wasn't you, who could it be? My dad has been living with you two for a while, and I haven't been in contact with him for a long time. If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Did you agitate him by doing something unforgivable?" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Isabella didn't expect that Paige would try to blame Liam's condition on her. She furiously retorted. "How could I ever provoke him?"
"It's hard to say. You can do anything if you're a mistress. You secretly got pregnant so that he would be forced to be with you, so you might be scheming after his inheritance, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Isabella put on an aggrieved expression. Based on what
Paige was saying, did she discover something?
"We'll see if it's nonsense after the baby is born. I just find it strange, because my parents have been married for so many years but they have only given birth to me. My mother has never gotten pregnant again. How could you be pregnant after being together for such a short time? My father is old... so how can you be knocked up? Maybe the child in your belly is not my father's?"
Liam furiously listened to Paige's accusations with his eyes closed. Naturally, he did not believe that Isabella would betray him. However, the marks on Isabella's neck that night were strange.
Could it be that she cheated on him behind his back?
Regardless of whether that was true or not, his main focus now was not this.
First, he needed to see Paige's attitude first.
As he was thinking about it, he slowly opened his eyes and coughed. Paige already knew that he was pretending and said, "Dad, you're awake!"
Isabella immediately went over to the side of the bed and asked, "Liam, how do you feel?"
"I feel a tightness in my chest. It's so uncomfortable!" He answered in a weak voice.
Paige stepped forward and asked, "Do you want me to call a doctor for a check-up?"
"There's no need. Give me some water," He ordered. Paige did not move as she looked at Isabella and said, "Get some water for my dad!"
Liam and Isabella both thought that Paige would get some water immediately, but she did not do so. Hence, Isabella had to pour the glass of water herself.
Liam drank half a cup of water and coughed a few times as if he were seriously ill. Meanwhile, Paige had her arms crossed and said mockingly, "Dad, why did you ask for me? Tell me quickly, I am very busy!"
Liam did not expect her to not care about him at all. He held back his anger and told Isabella, "Please leave for a moment, I have something to say to Paige."
Then, Isabella left obediently, and Paige stood at the side and looked at him. He held it in for a little while and finally managed to fake some tears. "Paige, I'm sorry! It's all my fault. Forgive me!"
