The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 42

Paige rushed into the inpatient building.

The elevator stopped and the CEO of Wolf Group, James, walked out of it.

They met face to face. Paige was stunned for a moment. James greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Miss Anderson!"

"Hello, Mr. Field!" Paige came to her senses and responded.

James walked away with a smile. Paige looked at his back and felt a little strange, "Why is James so friendly to me?"

"And who did he come to the inpatient department for?"

Then she went straight to the ward while Joseph was lying on the bed and having an intravenous drip.

When he saw Paige come in, he smiled and said, "You're back? You don't look very well. Did something bad happen?"

"How do you know something bad happened? I was so angry just now." Paige told Joseph how she had been bullied by Ethan in the company.

A dangerous glint flashed across Joseph's eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Paige did not notice it and continued angrily.

"I didn't expect Ethan to be such a person. He blamed me for his own wrongdoings. He even wanted to

fire me with great fanfare. Did he take me as a pushover? I have to fight him out this time."

"Mm, don't be angry anymore. I will help you." For some reason, Joseph's few simple words made Paige feel much more at ease.

"I am not worried about Ethan. Anyway, we have picked fight openly. At the worst, things would turn nasty. I am just angry with my father."

"Did you go to see your father?"

"Yes, do you know why my dad suddenly changed his attitude towards me? He thought I knew the president of Wolf Group and wanted to build a relationship with him through me."

"Oh!" Joseph responded. He had long thought of Liam's purpose. She was so stupid and cute that she didn't figure it out until now.

"Oh? Don't you feel surprised? I was so angry just now. My father really hurt me." Paige was a little unhappy with Joseph's reply.

"What's there to be angry about? Isn't it what life all about? You'll get over it if you've seen too much of it."

"What life is all about? It seems that you've gone through all kinds of vicissitudes of life. Shouldn't there be unconditional trust and tolerance between relatives?" Paige retorted.

"Normally, it should be, but there are also some in-normal relatives, so be more optimistic. Don't worry

about it. We should always look forward, don't we?"

"Well, I'll think of it this way then. By the way, when I came back, I met James at the door of the elevator. Do you know James?"

"I've heard of him." Joseph said calmly.

"I don't know who he's here for. He's very approachable and doesn't put on airs at all. He greeted me when he saw me."

"Is that so?" Joseph laughed. How could James take the initiative to greet her if it wasn't for him? How silly and cute she was. She even thought that James was easy-going. If she knew how ruthless and crazy James was in business, she would not say so anyway.

Paige didn't know what Joseph was thinking. She asked, "Why did the president of Wolf Group give me a dress? I don't know him."

"It's enough that he knows you, and you don't need to know him." Joseph laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense. How can he possibly know someone like me? What is that dress all about? Everyone thinks that I have something to do with him, but I really don't."

"Maybe you and the president of Wolf Group know each other. It's just that he didn't reveal his identity to you." Joseph tried to solve the problem for Paige in a serious way.

"There are only a few people I know, and we all know each other very well, apart from you. I mean, you won't be the president of Wolf Group, will you?"

Joseph's expression was a little interesting.

The next second, Paige shook her head and said, "If you were him, you wouldn't be a gigolo. So, it's absolutely not you!"

Joseph's face darkened instantly and Paige apologized with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rip your scars off. Do you want to drink water? Your lips look so dry, and you must be very thirsty. Come on, have a glass of water."

She got up and poured a glass of water for Joseph. Joseph did want to drink some water, so he took the glass and started drinking.

Paige was still puzzled, "I thought that James was so weird with me. He shouldn't be an approachable person with that kind of identity. And I never knew him before. How could he be so kind to me? I suspect…"

Paige paused for a moment, "Do you think there is a possibility that James is secretly in love with me?"

"What?" Joseph suddenly spurted out the water in his mouth.

Paige took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. "Why are you so excited? Do you think my thought is unrealistic? It's quite normal for James to have a crush on me for I'm pretty good-looking. Anyway, I can't figure out why he would help me."

"You are so shameless! Why don't you say that all the men in the world are secretly in love with you? If

you are so attractive, why would Ethan choose Sophia?"

Joseph was provoked by Paige and began to speak in a merciless manner.

"That's because he's blind!" Paige glared at Joseph. How dare he talk to her like that? She was so angry.

"Do you think that no one wants me after I'm dumped by Ethan? I'll prove to you how charming I am right now."

"How to prove it?"

"I'll go and invite James to have tea now. He is so young, promising and handsome. If I can riding on his coattails and make him fall in love with me, I'll be able to do whatever I want in B City."

Joseph sneered, "James wouldn't dare."

"What would he not dare to do in his position?"

"I'm pretty sure he wouldn't dare go to tea with you, or would you try?" Joseph said, gritting his teeth. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"I'm just kidding. Why are you grinding your teeth?" Paige laughed.

For some reason, it lifted her spirits to see him angry.

"I don't like James at all. He is too old for me. To be honest, I like the president of Wolf Group."

"Is that so?" Joseph replied with a smile on his face. That's quite good.

"From the VCR, he looks so handsome and his voice is so nice. He must be very good-looking."

"Hum. He must be very good-looking?" Joseph smiled and was in a good mood.

"Do you think he is as handsome as you?" Paige felt strange when she saw Joseph was smiling. Did he have to be so happy when she complimented the President of Wolf Group?

"We are about the same."

"What's wrong with your brain? If the president of Wolf Group is as handsome as you, why does he hide behind the scenes like a rat and never show up?" Paige looked at Joseph with disdain.

"Let me tell you, the person in that VCR will definitely not be the president of Wolf Group himself. It must be a fake. The real president of Wolf Group must be old, ugly, and disabled. Maybe he's even a psychopath. Otherwise, why didn't he show up? Why should so many people try to guess his identity?"

"It's not a good thing to talk about people behind their backs. Aren't you afraid that the old, ugly, disabled, and psychopathic president of Wolf Group will know that you said so and take revenge on you?"

The man, who were full of smiles just now, turned gloomy and gnashed his teeth in anger.

"I heard from the rich woman whom I served before that the president of Wolf Group has arranged his men everywhere, and those who were talking about him behind his back were all killed!"

His face suddenly turned cold, and it seemed that the temperature in the whole room dropped a little. Coupled with his tone and movements, Paige shivered inexplicably.

She could not help but shrink her neck. A look of fear flashed across her beautiful face as she subconsciously moved closer to Joseph.

Joseph thought he had scared her, but he didn't expect that the next second, Paige would come close to his ear and whispered in a very low voice.

"That's why I said he's very abnormal. He's definitely a traumatized psychopath."

Joseph did not expect that Paige would still think so. He turned around angrily and unexpectedly touched Paige's lips. Both of them were instantly stunned.
