The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 236

Paige went to the back to change her clothes, and Abbie followed her, "My brother wanted to dance with you, but he had a sudden leg cramp, so he let Joseph take his place. But, d*mn! Joseph really surprised me with his tango skills. After all, he's Joseph, the pro at drinking and f*king around." D Paige did not reply. She knew that Joseph would not dance with her for no reason. He must have had some secret intentions."

The voting had already begun when she was changing her clothes.

The performance that had the highest votes was her dance with Joseph.

According to the rules, Patek Philippe's watch should be their prize. However, Hardy said that she and Joseph were not lovers, so the couple's prize was given to the second most voted couple, while Paige won the Hermes' bag.

Paige had no thoughts about the prize, but Abbie was very happy.

"This trip wasn't wasted. You won a limited edition bag! Let me tell you, this bag costs a lot of money. No, it's something you can't even buy with money!"

"Is that so? I'll give it to you then."

"No, this is your prize. I can't take what's yours", Abbie, who was a handbag fanatic, refused her offer.

"Paige, this is a gift from Hardy. It's not for me."

"Isn't this a prize? What do you mean by a gift from Hardy?"

"You idiot! This bag isn't the same as the bag mentioned in the beginning. It's better! It's twice as expensive as the previous one. Look at how Hardy treats you.."

"Stop talking about nonsense!" Paige felt strange. She never thought about having anything with Hardy, but according to Abbie's words, he seemed to think of her differently.

She was not in the right mind for another relationship. Paige gave Abbie the bag and went out for some fresh air.

The sky was dark, so nothing could be seen from the deck. The salty sea breeze blew on her face as she stood quietly.

Suddenly she saw a flash of fire on her left.

Was someone smoking over there?

Paige fixated her eyes in that direction and vaguely saw Joseph's silhouette. She didn't see him when they were giving out the awards, so he must have been here for a while.

She rarely saw him smoke when they were together. However, after they broke up, she had seen him smoking several times.

Was it because he was frustrated?

Didn't he have Paisley already?

What else was there to be unsatisfied for?

Paige could not stop looking at Joseph as her thoughts ran wild. He, on the other hand, was unbothered and continued to smoke his cigarette.

Paige thought for a moment and she walked towards him. She hadn't resolved the bank card problem with him yet anyway.

She quickly walked to his side as he stood there smoking while looking out to the ocean.

How could he be unaware of her walking towards him?

She didn't believe that Joseph didn't hear her footsteps because her high heels made a lot of noise, but he did not turn around to acknowledge her.

She felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do, "Joseph!"

He turned around and looked at her indifferently.

Paige bit her lip and asked, "Did you call the police about the bank card?"

"Mhm," He didn't even open his mouth to answer her.

"What did the police say?"

"The money has been transferred to a foreign account, so they can't do anything about it anymore."

"Then I... I.." Paige said to him, "I'll find a way to return the money to you."

"Really? When will you give it back to me?" Joseph's voice was full of sarcasm.

"I'II ask my dad first, or I can pawn my jewellery. Didn't you get me the jewellery? I can pawn all of that and..."

"Don't tell me you really think that your jewellery is worth a hundred million?" Joseph interrupted her coldly.

"Didn't we get it from the Wolf Group…"

"I was the one who told them to take the money! I gave them the 100 million," Joseph mercilessly interrupted her.

"You... you.." Paige didn't know what to say.

Her jewelry was indeed not worth a hundred million. She initially thought it was strange too, but she finally figured it out after hearing what he said.

She felt a little miserable, "Was it fun for you to tease me like that since the beginning?"

"I've never said that I was a gigolo, but you've always thought so. I couldn't do anything about it."

"You had many opportunities to tell me the truth. Why didn't you?"

"Do you think it matters anymore to ask me now?" Joseph sneered.

"Paige, the one billion dollars was the breakup fee. You don't have to be so caught up about it."

"I don't want your money! Joseph, I will pay you back."

"How righteous!" Joseph sneered. "But how are you going to pay me back? Your father won't give you money, and you don't have the money yourself. Tell me, how can you pay me back the one billion?"

Paige found herself at a dead end.

Joseph looked down at her and said, "Actually, if you insist on paying me back. There is someone who can help you."

"Who is it?" Paige asked.

"Hardy Anthony?" Joseph's replied with a sadistic look.

"Why would he help me pay for the money?" Paige asked in confusion.

"Are you playing dumb with me? It's not a cute look at all," Joseph's tone was full of sarcasm.

"He is young, promising, and owns so many companies. One billion dollar is nothing to him. As long as you use your brain a little, I think he would gladly pay the amount for you."

Paige angered instantly and raised her hand to hit Joseph, "B*stard!"

Joseph grabbed her hand and asked, "What's wrong? Are you mad now?"

"I was so blind for falling for you!" Paige said angrily. She could neither hit him nor bear to stomp on his foot. So, she attacked him verbally. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Joseph, you're the most shameless man in the world! You have no morals!"

"Am I worse than Ethan?" Joseph asked flippantly.

"Yes, you two are almost the same!"

After being compared to Ethan, Joseph felt his temper rising. He let go of Paige's hand and he pushed her away. She tripped and screamed as she fell.

When Joseph heard her scream, he was stunned and immediately reached out to help her, "What's wrong?"

"My foot! Joseph, you b*stard, my foot hurts!" Paige was in so much pain that she burst into tears.

Joseph realized that she had sprained her ankle, so he immediately picked her up and said, "I didn't do it on purpose! I'll take you to the doctor!"

"No, you did it on purpose! You b*stard with no good intentions, I hate you to death!" Paige was swearing at him non-stop while Joseph ignored it and carried her inside.

Passing through the brightly lit corridor, he rushed to the elevator while carrying her.

While waiting for the elevator, Hardy came out of the hall and saw Joseph holding Paige, "What's the matter?"
