The Mysterious Billionaire

The bodyguard at the door of the ward greeted Joseph respectfully as he arrived.
"Is everything all right?" Joseph asked calmly.
"Yesterday, Madam Elizabeth brought her men over, but we stopped her. She was pissed and wanted to call you, but none of us
spared her any attention."
"Well done!" Joseph said before he walked into the ward. Meanwhile, Hayden was already awake and eating breakfast.
When he saw Joseph, his face broke out into a grin, "You're here!"
"Are you feeling better?" Joseph sat down beside the bed.
"I feel much better after seeing you!" Hayden stopped eating his food, and he reached out to grasp Joseph's hand. "You look
well, but thinner than you used to be."
"Really?" Joseph touched his face.
"Yeah, I know you're tired because you have to take care of me." Hayden looked at his beloved son. "Joseph, have you
considered what I said to you earlier?"
"Working at the company?"
"Don't think about it any longer. Just listen to me. I'm begging you!"
"Dad, I really don't know anything about..."
"You can learn the ropes slowly. I'll arrange for a team of professionals to guide you."
"This is too much Dad, it won't do. I'll go work at the company, but perhaps in a lower position. I'd rather not upset my brothers."

"I always knew you were the most filial son. Fine, low profile it is. But I have one request. You need to work at the company
okay? You can't deny me any longer!"
Hayden insisted on Joseph going to work at the company and Joseph knew that his father was afraid that he wouldn't have
anything to back him up if his father passed on.
However, his presence at the company would definitely cause a stir, and Joseph smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't want his
father to worry, but this time his father might have made a mistake.
Meanwhile, Paige had gone to see Michael.
To be honest, she didn't expect him to be so young and handsome.
Alas, he was rather cool, and Michael stared at her for a long while after she sat down.
Then he said slowly, "I used you as an excuse to send Ethan and Sophia to the police station. Do you have any issues with
that?"
"No, that's great! You're simply amazing, Michael!" Paige was overjoyed to hear that Ethan and Sophia had been caught. "How
did you do it?"
"I have evidence." Michael retrieved a recorder from his bag and handed it to her. "This is it. Listen to it, and you'll find that all the
evidence you need is in there. This will be a very easy case, so leave everything to me."
After listening to the recording, Paige almost laughed out loud. Ethan and Sophia were two very despicable people, and they
deserved to be given a taste of their own medicine.
She would give anything to see their faces during the recording. Meanwhile, Michael just stared fixedly at Paige, who was
smiling.
Meanwhile, Paige found that she might have been a little too unrestrained in her actions, so she sipped on a cup of tea and said,
"Thank you, Michael. How much do I owe you?"

"That can be settled later," Michael said slowly. "Miss Anderson, I have a very personal question for you. May l?"
"Go ahead."
"I heard that you're seeing a gigolo. Is that true?"
Then, the smile on Paige's face suddenly disappeared. "Who told you that?"
Michael slowly asked, "I heard it along the grapevine. He must be very handsome, right? How did you meet him?"
Next, Paige's face darkened. "Michael, although you can help me, I'm not very pleased with what you said about someone I care
about."
"Someone that you care about?" Surprise flashed across Michael's face. She actually cared about Joseph? This must be some
sort of sick joke.
"Yes, I care about him, and he is not a gigolo! He is a caring, kind and ambitious man! I'll forgive you for your ignorance this
once, but say that to me again and I'll kill you!"
"You... what kind of rich lady are you?" Michael was so shocked that he couldn't get the words out.
He thought that Joseph had been bewitched by a gentle and intelligent woman. However, he didn't expect Paige to be like this.
"I'm not even a rich young lady in the first place! All right, is there anything else? If not, l' m leaving!"
"That's all." Paige stood up and left after she heard Michael's words. When she walked outside, she called Abbie in a rage.
"What the hell is wrong with Michael? He actually badmouthed Joseph! God, I'm so pissed!"
"Paige, you can't offend him. What if he refuses to help you?" Abbie immediately advised her.
"It doesn't matter. No one gets to talk about my Joseph that way. What does my relationship with him have to do with anything?"

While she was venting her anger, Liam and Elizabeth spotted her from afar and he called out, "Paige! What are you doing here?
I was just about to call you."
"What do you want?" Paige turned to look at Liam.
"Drop the charges and have Ethan and Sophia go free!" Liam commanded sternly.
"Who do you think you are?" Paige looked at Liam coldly.
"I'm your father. How dare you disobey me!"
"Dad? Aren't you ashamed to say that you're my dad?" Paige couldn't help but laugh.
"What did you say to me when I was being slandered yesterday? You said that I was a good-for-nothing, and you wouldn't help
me at all. Now that I've put those scum where they belong, you come and defend them? Are you even my father?"
Thus, Liam was embarrassed and replied, "I'll make them apologize and take responsibility for what they've done. But you need
to free them first."
"Responsibility? Why wasn't there any of that yesterday? So you're here to explain after they've been caught? Do you think I'm
stupid?"
"Miss Anderson, how could you talk to your father like this?" Elizabeth cut in after Paige spoke rudely to her father.
"Who do you think you are?" Paige retorted.
"If it is not mistaken, you must have something to do with what happened yesterday, right? How dare you show up in front of
me?"
"You..." Elizabeth was so angry that her face started turning purple.

Meanwhile, Liam was unhappy when he saw now Paige treated Elizabeth, "Nonsense! Madame Dawson is still your elder no
matter what!"
"Even if she's someone to Ethan, so what? I'll make it very clear, my reputation has been ruined because of those b*stards Ethan
and Sophia. So, if they don't make up for it and clear my name, I'll never free them!"
"What do you want?"
"Compensation of course! I lost my job yesterday, and I've been vilified on the internet. Oh yes, the Dawson Group also fired me
for no reason yesterday and demanded 500 million from me in damages. They're the ones who slandered me, and yet they want
me to pay? Now, I want 500 million back. Don't think I’ll let them go if I'm not paid!"
"You're ridiculous! You b*stard, you are doomed now!" Liam thought that Paige had crossed the line, and he rushed towards her
to hit her.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and shoved him so hard that he nearly stumbled. After Liam righted himself, he stood and looked
over before he was startled, "Huh? It's you?"
