The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 51

“Hey? I’m talking to you! Who the hell are you? Where is Miss Paige? Tell me, or I will screw you!” the

exhausted vice president continued to shout at Lily. At that moment, he was already going nuts, and he

almost resorted to violence. Before that, he heard some rumors in the company—the legendary

terrifying man in Oplen seemed to be related to Paige Mooney of the Aceshine Group. Therefore, when

Rory asked him for help to collaborate with Aceshine Group last night, he immediately agreed and

signed the contract with a woman from the Mooneys in the early morning. However, he didn’t expect

that he signed with the wrong person. That woman from the Mooneys was not Paige! In fact, he was

too busy that he had not rested since last night. Hence, after signing the contract with Lily, he didn’t

double-check it before rushing back to the company to prepare for the grand wedding. Later, around an

hour ago, Dennis—who was in the headquarters-came to find him with Ernie and asked him to show

them the contract. Only then, he realized that he had signed with the wrong person!!! With that, Dennis

and Ernie gave him a death stare. Even now, Dennis’s words from then kept flashing in his mind.

“Aiden Marsh, do you know who the female lead of this grand wedding is?” At that time, Dennis was

scowling at him coldly. Once he came to a realization, he rushed to Aceshine Group as fast as he

could. When he arrived, he found that Leonard was away. After inquiring about his whereabouts with

the employees, he knew that Leonard and Paige were having lunch in this restaurant. Thus, he hurried

over. Sure enough, Leonard was in this restaurant, as well as the woman who cheated him to sign the

contract! As soon as he saw Lily, he could no longer suppress his fury. Currently, Lily was so frightened

that her face went ashen, and she quickly responded, “Mr. Marsh… why must you sign the contract

with Paige? I am also a part of Aceshine Group…” “F*ck you! Who do you think you are?! Are you even

on the same level as her? Scram!” as he fumed, he tore the contract and smacked it on Lily’s face. At

once, Lily screamed, stepped back, and shut her mouth. She didn’t know what was wrong with Aiden,

but at the moment, she could only look at Rory with pleading eyes. Frowning with displeasure, Rory

stood up and reprimanded in a low voice, “Mr. Marsh, you’ve gone too far. Besides, didn’t you signed

the contract for the sake of my father? He told you last night. Have you forgotten? That’s enough. Show

me some respect!”

After Rory finished, Aiden was bewildered by his idiotic words and was stunned for a while. Then, with

a bang, he furiously kicked Rory in his stomach, and Rory flew

out.

Following that, he went to Rory and continued to beat him up. As he punched, he cursed, “Show some

respect? Who the f*ck are you? Do you think your family is that great? Even Harrison Shelton doesn’t

speak to me this way! How dare you teach me a lesson? You little b*st*rd!” Seeing that, Leonard was

rooted to the spot. Once he regained his composure, he went and tried to stop the fight. “Calm down,

Mr. Marsh. Calm down. Lily is in the wrong this time. I will ask her to apologize to you…” he persuaded.

“Who the hell are you? Get out of my way!” Aiden—who was already enraged, waved his hand and

pushed Leonard aside. After all, Leonard was old. So, with that push, he knocked over several plates

on the table and fell to the ground. Then, he groaned in pain. “How dare you and your family trample

me?! Do you think I am easy to bully? Huh? You…” Bang! Just as Aiden was about to continue cursing,

Joseph-who was drinking tea slammed the teacup on the table. The next moment, his cold words

echoed in Aiden’s ears, “Are you done?” Boom! When Aiden heard Joseph’s voice, a chill crept up his

spine. At once, his blood ran cold, and cold sweat dampened his body. For a split second, he felt as if a

grim reaper was staring at his back. Fearfully, he turned around. The moment he saw Joseph, his heart

almost stopped beating, and his body was sweating like rain. He was so scared that his face turned

pale, and his legs went weak as he had seen Joseph before! Just this morning, he saw Dennis, Ernie,

and the horrifying Alpha 1 following Joseph respectfully. “S… S… Sir.” Aiden stammered while he was

trying to apologize to Joseph, but Paige suddenly interrupted him. After she recollected her senses,

she hurriedly stood up with a frightened look and apologized, “Mr. Marsh, I’m sorry. I… I’m Paige.

Please calm down. I’m sorry. Please calm down…” When Aiden saw Paige got up and apologized to

him personally, he was almost scared to death. Right away, he slapped himself hard while apologizing

to Paige, “No, no, no, Miss Paige. Don’t… Don’t be. It’s my fault. I was exhausted from working

overtime yesterday, so I mistook other women for you. I’m sorry…” His posture was really humble…

Boom! Watching that, Leonard, Rory, and Lily were extremely stupified with their mouths and eyes wide

open. After all, Aiden was different from all those small business partners who had signed with Paige a

few days ago. In fact, he was one of the eight vice presidents of Gempoint Group, which also meant his

status was

much higher than Rory’s father-Harrison! And yet, such a high-rank person was

slapping his face and apologizing for fear that Paige would be offended. As Paige was also shocked,

she quickly waved to Aiden. “Mr. Marsh, it… it’s okay. Please don’t hit yourself. I’m fine…” Even so,

Aiden didn’t stop because the legendary big shot hadn’t said anything. Not having the guts to stop, he

continued slapping himself. Looking at this scene, Paige felt familiar. Just then, she recalled that Brian

did the same thing in Mirage Hotel the night before. As long as Joseph didn’t say anything, they dared

not stop. So, she looked at Joseph-who was still quietly sitting. At the same time, Leonard and others

also returned to their senses. Wait a minute! From the beginning till the end, Joseph was the only one

who was still sitting! Only him!!!! Upon realizing that, Leonard and the others turned to Joseph. After

that, Joseph looked up to Aiden aloofly and uttered, “Didn’t you come to sign the contract with my wife?

What are you doing?” When Aiden heard this, he immediately understood that Joseph probably had yet

to tell Paige his identity, and his fear intensified. Therefore, he quickly nodded and said to Paige

anxiously, “Miss Paige, shall we sign the contract now? I have to go back quickly as the company is too Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

busy right now. I’m sorry. I’ve been working for the whole night these days, so I was completely out of

my mind. Just now, you must’ve been scared. I’m sorry. Very, very sorry...” Once he finished, he took

out two new contracts with his signature and his company’s stamp on them. After Paige signed them,

he left quickly. Only when he went far away from the room, he lay on the ground and gasped, terribly

frightened. Just as Aiden left and everyone was still in a trance, another man pushed open the door. It

was the vice president of Mysticorps Group. After coming in, he spoke to Paige politely and signed the

contract with her. With that signature, the problem that had troubled Aceshine Group for years was

completely solved. However, it was not over yet. Later, the vice president of Pendulum Group—the

third-ranked company in Oplen-came. The vice president of Seawares Company—the fourth rank

company in Oplen came… The representative of the Municipal Administration Department came… The

vice president of the Business Association of Oplen came…

One after another big shot that Aceshine Group had always tried hard to approach

signed with Paige. With that, the problems that hindered Aceshine Group’s development were solved,

and all of this happened in less than half an hour!! Finally, an hour later, when Paige’s hand got tired,

no one else came in. And at this moment, facing Paige—who signed the contract with so many big

bosses in Oplen

-Leonard dared not sit anymore. Instead, he stood in front of her with some restraint. Looking at those

high-value contracts, he swallowed hard, and he was shocked to the extreme. Once again, he

subverted his conjecture. The identity of this grandson-in-law—who suddenly appeared from nowhere

—was not ordinary for sure. “Haha…” Joseph smiled at Leonard and said, “Grandpa, you only

requested Paige to help Aceshine Group solve a problem. But now, she has solved more than one. So,

isn’t it time for you to fulfill your promise and appoint her as the vice president?” With a pale face,

Leonard nodded. “Well… Of course. I’ll keep my word. From now on, Paige will be the vice president of

Aceshine Group! A position which is second only to mine! Also, she will be in charge of our cooperation

with these large companies! When I return to the company, I’ll announce it!” Leonard was still

perplexed because Joseph was still smiling. Besides, Joseph was calm from the beginning. Way too

calm! What was his identity then? While Leonard was pondering, huge storms surged within him…

“Joseph, do… Do you know all those… people?” Leonard stammered. Although a huge part of him

knew the answer, he couldn’t help but ask. Looking at Leonard with a grin, Joseph asked in return,

“What do you think?” Hearing that, Leonard trembled and stopped talking. Finally, he understood how

Paige handled Reuben’s debt, found hundreds of business partners, and solved tons of the company’s

problems despite returning for only a few days. It turned out that Joseph secretly helped her! On the

other hand, Paige lowered her head, feeling down. Knowing that Joseph was behind everything, she

felt useless. Of course, Joseph knew Paige’s thoughts, so he held her hand tightly and comforted,

“Haha, don’t overthink. Actually, I didn’t help you that much. The biggest reason why they are willing to

sign with Aceshine Group is because of your efforts and Aceshine Group’s ability, which has nothing

much to do with me. All I did was introducing you to them. And don’t forget, they are just some

businessmen I met when I was doing business in Usmait six years ago. Even if they are doing me a

favor, they won’t risk their company and their projects…” Hearing Joseph’s words, Paige felt much

better. However, she still did not fully believe what he said. “Are you telling the truth? Do they really

think I have the ability?” With a nod, Joseph smiled, “Yes, of course, but don’t overstrain yourself. You

haven’t rest much these days, and that kinda breaks my heart…” At once, Paige’s face turned crimson,

and she lowered her head even lower. After seeing that Paige was fine, Joseph looked up at Leonard

and suggested, “Grandpa, it seems like we can’t eat together today. Why don’t we meet some other

day? I’ll book a better restaurant and invite you over.” “Sure, sure. You may go ahead with your own

business. Don’t worry about us. We’ll have our lunch somewhere else after this…” Leonard replied

nervously to Joseph. At that moment, his attitude was totally different from the first time he met Joseph.

To that, Joseph nodded, informed Paige, and walked out. However, when he walked to the door and

passed by Rory, he stopped and looked at Rory. “Why are you still here?” “Hmm? What… what are you

going to do? You…” when Rory looked at Joseph this time, his heart was uneasy, and he stuttered.

That was because he was frightened by the scene just now. “Haha.” Joseph laughed and insinuated,

“Nothing, but I think you should leave. Who knows? Maybe your father is looking for you… Of course, I

am just saying because I know some physiognomy. And somehow, I feel that your family will be in

trouble if you marry your fiancee. Haha…” Upon finishing his words, he left without turning back. After

Joseph left, Rory came to his senses and quickly took out his phone. To his surprise, his mobile phone

had dozens of missed calls and text messages. Right away, he opened them and found that they were

all sent by his father. D “You unfilial rascal! What the f*ck did you do out there? Who did you offend?

Something serious happened at home, and we might go bankrupt. So, come back now! Now!!!” This

was a WhatsApp message from his father, Harrison. After Rory read Harrison’s text message, his face

changed dramatically. Instantaneously, he grabbed his phone and quickly dashed home without

bothering to say goodbye to Lily…
