The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 41

Liam put on an embarrassed smile as he heard Paige's blunt question.

"The main thing is to invite you to dinner. Of course, I have something else to ask you."

"Oh." Paige knew that it was just a cover to invite her to dinner. With a deadpan face, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Liam thought that she would continue to ask him about something, but he didn't expect that Paige would start to eat without saying anything.

Suppressing his anger and unhappiness, he picked up a piece of shrimp for Paige, "Well, I read on the news that you know the president of Wolf Group. Is it true?"

"Of course not," Paige replied.

"I knew it. The president of Wolf Group never showed up and how could he possibly know you? Then why did you wear a custom-made dress at the feast that day?"

"The president of Wolf Group gave it to me." Paige replied.

It was very clear that Paige had been invited to dinner and was treated well just because Liam thought there was something between her and the president of Wolf Group.

"But didn't you say you don't know him?" Liam was a little confused.

"Yeah, I really don't know him."

"Then why did he customize the dress for you?"

"How would I know? Maybe he's got nothing to do." Paige continued to eat the shrimp without changing her expression.

Paige's story was so flawless that Liam couldn't get the information he wanted. He was a little worried.

In the past, Paige was a simple, kind person who would answer any question he asked without reservation. But now she had learned to put him off. It really pissed him off.

Liam was even much unhappier. He tried to control his anger, "Paige, tell me the truth. Is that dress a trick of Aiden and you?"

"No." Paige got tired of his tentative attitude. If Liam really regarded her as his daughter, how could he be so careful to test her. He was always on his guard against her.

Ha ha, the father and the daughter were wary of each other. How pathetic!

"Dad, if you just want to know about the dress, I can tell you clearly that it was James, the CEO of Wolf Group who asked me to wear it. He said that it was the president of Wolf Group who custom-made it for me. I don't know him and I don't know what he meant. It's a happy thing that someone gave me the dress, so I put it on. That's it."

"So you really don't know the president of Wolf Group?" The smile on Liam's face disappeared by more than half.

"Yes, I not only don't know the president of Wolf Group, but also don't know Aiden well."

She not only did not know the president of Wolf Group, but also had no relationship with Aiden. If so, weren't his worries and hopes become a joke?

Liam stared at Paige for a few minutes.

She ate the food in front of her with a calm look, but Liam himself was on tenterhooks.

When he came, he had too much expectation and thought that there was something between Paige and the president of Wolf Group.

In any case, it was good that she had a relationship with the CEO of Wolf Group, James. In this way, he could build a relationship with James through Paige, so that it would be convenient for him to do what he wanted.

Now, Liam had a feeling of being deceived for Paige had denied everything.

He tried to control himself from swearing at Paige and acting aggressively.

As Paige ate, she took in his ever-changing expressions. She inexplicably felt sad.

She lost interest in the food in front of her.

Paige put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm done. Do you have anything else to do?"

"No." Said Liam, in a very different tone from when he arrived.

"Then I’ll leave." Paige stood up, picked up her bag, and left quickly.

When she walked out of Szechuan Restaurant, she was extremely depressed.

She sat in the car for a long time before she drove to the company.

When she entered the company, she unexpectedly met Ethan, whose face looked a little haggard. He is no longer as elegant as he used to be.

He was stunned when he saw Paige, and then he was filled with anger.

It was because of Paige that he was humiliated to the extreme and had a mental breakdown. But Paige looked refreshed.

How could Ethan feel better?

He strode over to Paige and gnashed his teeth, "How dare you come here?"

Paige felt ridiculous when she saw his fierceness, "Mr. Green, I'm still an employee here so far. Is there anything wrong?"

"You won't be an employee here soon. I'll tell the personnel department to fire you right away."

After breaking up with Ethan, Paige had not planned to stay here any longer, but Ethan's attitude annoyed her.

She sneered, "Ethan, I am an official employee of the company. How can you fire me if I don't do anything wrong?"

"I'm the manager here! Paige, you are in the Dawson Family's company, not somewhere else. It's a piece of cake for me to fire an employee like you."

"Ha! Let's wait and see." Paige said with a sneer. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing that Paige didn't take him seriously at all, Ethan was extremely angry, "Your dismissal will be announced soon. Security, get this woman out of here right now!"

"Don't worry, I'll leave right now! But Ethan, I'm afraid you'll be in serious trouble the next time we meet!"

Paige gave the man, whom she had loved for several years, a contemptuous look and walked away.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Ethan anymore. If Ethan had had a better attitude towards her, she might have considered resigning. It was better for her not to see the jerk anymore.

But now that Ethan had taken the initiative to provoke her and expel her due to personal grievances. It was different now.

Paige was not one to be pushed around easily.

She was a formal employee. With her employment contract, there was no way for Ethan to fire her!

After Paige left the Dawson company, she drove back to the hospital.

In the ward, James was talking to Joseph, "Master Dawson is hospitalized today. It is said that his blood pressure suddenly overshot and he fainted. I've inquired about it. He's not very well. The doctor wants him to stay in the hospital for a few days."

Joseph was a little surprised, "He fainted? Does that mean he's seriously ill?"

"Yes, Charles kept the news a secret and didn't intend to tell you at all. His purpose is self-evident. Mr. Dawson, what are you going to do next?"

"If he didn't want me to know so much, how could I do what he wanted? Tell someone to announce my return to China, and I will go and see Master Dawson right away."

"If so, wouldn't Miss Anderson know your identity?" James reminded.

Joseph shook his head with a smile and said, "That little bunny is so silly and cute. She still thought that I'm a pimp in Climax Space. She wouldn't have thought otherwise."

James couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Anderson is quite cute, but a piece of paper can't cover a fire. She's gonna know soon or later, and if she finds out you lied to her..."

"I never said I was a pimp. She thought so. I didn't lie to her."

As the two spoke, James's phone rang. He picked up and the bodyguard's voice came, "Miss Anderson is back!"

"Mr. Dawson, Miss Anderson is back. I'm leaving now. I'll arrange for the news of your return immediately. You'll be able to visit Master Dawson tomorrow"
