The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 83

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."
