The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 391

Abbie and Paige left the hydrotherapy center in a good mood.

Abbie started the car and asked, "Where should we go now?"

"Send me home. I want to prepare dinner for Joseph tonight."

She rolled her eyes and said, "Can you stop showing off your love in front of me? You're torturing a single person like me to death!"

Since she put it that way, Paige was a little embarrassed. "Uh... I didn't mean to."

"I would beat you up if you did! Well, I'm a good friend, so I'lI take you to get groceries!"

"Aww! You're the best!" Paige sent her a flying kiss. Abbie exclaimed, "I finally know why Joseph gave in! Did you seduce him like this every day?"

At the Dawson Group, Joseph hung up Paige's call with a big smile on his face.

When Steven came in and saw his beaming expression, he asked confusedly, "Mr. Dawson, did something good happen to you?"

"Yepp! Of course!" Since he was in a good mood, he was less irritated by his secretary.

"What's the matter? Tell me now because I'm about to leave!"

"Leave? I'm afraid you can't. Sir Hayden has just notified us to attend an emergency meeting!"

"I'm not free." He did not take the emergency meeting seriously at all. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Sir Joseph, it's not good for you to be absent... If Sir Hayden asks…"

"Tell him that I left a long time ago and that my phone is unreachable!" With that, he grabbed his jacket and left.

Steven anxiously followed him to the door and watched him stride into the elevator.

Paisley, who was next door, also came out after seeing Steven standing in the corridor.

"What's wrong? Did you get scolded by Mr. Dawson again?"

"No, Sir Hayden issued a notice to a meeting. However, Sir Joseph didn't take it seriously and said that he had a personal emergency to attend to. What should I tell Sir Hayden later? Oh no... I'm going to be scolded again."

Paisley's eyes twitched when she heard that.

Even though Joseph was nonchalant, he had never been absent from a meeting. As far as she knew, the meeting tonight was very important, so what was Joseph planning to do?

Seeing the look on Steven's face, she had no choice but to comfort him, "It's alright. Just lie and say that he won't pick up his phone. Or perhaps, he went home because he didn't feel well. Sir Hayden won't blame you."

"Thank you, Ms. Anthony!" He sighed and left. Paisley went back to her office and sent a text message. "Keep an eye on Joseph and see what he is doing tonight!"

When Joseph walked out of the Dawson Group's building, Bobby drove the car over.

He got into the car and said, "Let's go to the flower shop!"

As soon as Bobby started driving, Aiden called him. "Joseph, I just found out something bad. Your father and Lamont secretly met up with each other. Do you know their intentions?"

"Lamont and my father?" He was stunned for a moment. What did they meet up for?

Could it be that they were talking about him and Paige?

Hayden had been silent about it for a while, but it was also impossible for him to ignore them. Lamont didn't seem to like him, while Hayden didn't seem to favor Paige. If the two of them were to join forces to discuss how to separate him and Paige, it would be bad.

As he thought about it, he told Aiden, "Can you get any info on what they were talking about?"

"I don't think so. Lamont is very alert, and your father has bodyguards around him. I can't get close to them at all."

"Forget it, they must be talking about me and Paige. They won't be able to settle this in a day. Just let them be, and we'll see their reactions to the news tomorrow."

"What do you mean? Are you going to get your marriage certificate with Paige?" Aiden guessed it immediately.

"Yes, that's it." He did not deny it either.

"Do you have your household registry? In this country, you have to have your household registry to get a marriage certificate. If your dad holds on to it, you can't do anything about it."

Aiden's words reminded Joseph of this.

"Ah, I actually forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me. I'll go back and get it right now!”

He hung up and ordered Bobby, "Let's go back to the mansion! I want to get the household registry while my father's not at home."

Bobby made a U-turn and headed straight for the mansion. As he sped up the car, he asked Joseph worriedly, "Sir Joseph, what if Mr. Dawson faints out of anger after hearing about your secret marriage?"

"Shh! Can't you say something more auspicious?" Bobby didn't dare to say anything after Joseph glared at him.

In the tea room, Hayden narrowed his eyes at Lamont, while Lamont also did the same.

This went on for a while, and Hayden finally spoke first, "I didn't expect you to come looking for me. Don't you hate me?"

"Those are two separate things!" He replied.

Lamont didn't hold back his hatred towards Hayden at all. Hayden let out a cold laugh and said, "Heh! Go ahead, tell me what's the matter."

"I came to you to talk to you about your son and Miss Anderson. You've known about their relationship all along, and I want to know why you haven't stopped it. Do you really want to see your son marry the daughter of his mother's enemy?"

"Who said I didn't stop it? I opposed it from the beginning, but it was useless. Joseph will not listen to me at all. To tell you the truth, I have also looked for Paige to threaten and shame her, but it was useless."

"You've never thought of telling her the truth?" Lamont retorted.

"Yes, but I can't! If I told her the truth, she would probably break up with Joseph. But if Joseph knew what happened that year, he will hate me!" He didn't hide anything from Lamont.

"So you're not going to tell her? So, you're going to keep it a secret and watch them get married and give birth to children?" Lamont sneered at him.

"How do you know they'd get married and have children?" He frowned. "Joseph is a player. He'll get over her after a few years of fun."

"I don't think you should be ignorant anymore. Let me tell you, Joseph has already proposed to her, and they have already bought their wedding house. Do you know the Wolf Group's villas by the ocean? They got the most expensive one!"

He chuckled when he heard Lamont's words.

"Don't young people like to do romantic things like that? People break up after the fun is over. What's there to worry about?" Lamont frowned. "Well, if you don't believe me, I'll tell you one more thing. You know about Liam, right? If Joseph didn't ask Aiden and James to help, Miss Anderson would have never won. I'll tell you one more thing. Joseph borrowed 100 billion dollars from James and Aiden as Miss Anderson's betrothal gift!"

"What! Are you telling the truth?" He was extremely shocked.

"That's impossible. How could this be?" Hayden found it extremely hard to believe.

The amount was not a billion dollars, nor 10 billion. It was 100 billion dollars!

How could Aiden and James lend the money to Joseph so easily?
