The Mysterious Billionaire

Charles and Ethan planned to get over this by apologizing and quickly letting it slide. But they didn't expect Joseph to not give them a chance at all!

"Cheated? Why did you deliberately try to defame him? Tell me the truth now!" Hayden's face darkened instantly.

"Dad, didn't you read the news? The headlines said I sinned by stealing Mr. Green's girlfriend. What the hell does that mean? He's an Green while I'm a Dawson, so how does that make it a taboo?"

Joseph did not back down, "Besides, Paige and I only got together recently. Ethan and Sophia have already hooked up half a year ago! Yet, the news slandered me and Paige instead, making us look like the bad guys here. I'm curious, how much did the guy pay to get this bullsh*t to the media?"

"Embarrassing! How shameless!" Hayden then splashed the tea on Charles face.

"What did you say this morning? Hm? Tell me again now, won't you?"

"I.. I was lied to by him! B*stard, aren't you going to explain the whole situation?" Charles wiped the tea on his face and shot daggers at Ethan.

Ethan immediately said, "This is all because of Sophia Martin, she manipulated and lied to me! I didn't know better, and I trusted her. I'm sorry, Sir Joseph! I didn't mean to do this! I apologize for my mistake."

"So, a woman alone is capable of creating such a huge trouble?" Joseph snorted. "She's only an illegitimate daughter of a mistress. Do you think I'm stupid? You dare to say you're not involved in any of this?"

"I... I am. But I didn't mean to offend you. I just wanted to teach Paige a lesson. Sophia said that Paige pushed her down and caused her miscarriage. I feel sorry for our child, so I did this in a fit of anger." Ethan put all the blame on himself, but Charles slapped him again.

"Shameless bast*rd, you're such an embarrassment! You did such a humiliating thing and yet still have the guts to complain about this to me! You dragged me into this mess!"

"Bro, this won't look good for you as well, will it? For a person that is in charge of the Dawson Group, you easily believed in rumours, and you are manipulated blindly... If this is how our company is being taken care of, does that mean it's going to be at a loss instead of earning profits?"

Joseph let out a cold laugh and retorted.

Hayden stared at Charles with an expressionless face, "Son, could it be that you are not suitable for this position anymore? If that is the case, you should be replaced!"

Charles broke into cold sweat upon hearing this. He was finally able to take charge of the company for the past year since Hayden fell sick. If he was to be replaced now, it would be difficult for him to be promoted again.

Charles immediately apologized, "Dad, this is just an accident. As for the company, I would never be so careless with it. I promise."

"So, that means you are only careless when it comes to me. Hey, I need a good reputation too, you know?" Joseph added fuel to the fire.
