The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 216

Paisley could not fathom Joseph, but her heartbeat erratically when she looked at his gentle smile.

Joseph's smile was really too charming.

Indeed, what Hardy said that she was only attracted to his appearance was actually true. He was just so handsome that she didn't mind if he didn't have any talents.

Paisley felt much happier as she looked at his appearance. So she held up her glass to bring a toast to Joseph, "Here's to you, Mr. Dawson. Congratulations for your collaboration with Acma Corporation today!"

He had embarrassed Hardy that day, but here Paisley was congratulating him. Joseph was slightly surprised by her attitude. So he smiled and clinked his glass with hers.

"Thank you, Miss Anthony."

Aiden and Michael locked eyes as they saw how Paisley took the initiative to speak to Joseph.

Aiden then said, "I heard that Mr. Anthony was embarrassed deeply by him. Aren't you angry with him?"

"My brother's business has nothing to do with me." Paisley replied. "Besides, business is like a battlefield. You should know that whatever you do to others might come back to you someday."

"That's right! Miss Anthony, you are right. I have decided to have you as my friend. Let's toast to you," Aiden said and raised his glass.

Paisley clinked her glass with Aiden's.

Paisley was open-minded and elegant.

Aiden and Michael were greatly impressed by her.

They kept toasting her and Paisley did not seem to reject them. Seeing this, Joseph scrunched his brows. "That's enough. Why are you bullying a lady? How shameless."

"Do you feel sorry for her?" Aiden looked with his eyes scrunched together. "If you feel sorry, you should drink for her."

Joseph looked at Aiden speechlessly.


Paisley then smiled and said, "Don't worry. I can hold my liquor. Even my brother can't beat me in this."

"Really?" Aiden couldn't quite believe him.

Aiden had seen how well Hardy drinks as well

"It's true." Paisley answered very seriously.

"Joseph can drink well too. Why don't both of you drink and compete who's better?" Michael was eager to watch them.

"Why should I accept your suggestion?" Joseph retorted.

"Well, we can play some games and the loser shall drink."

"I'm not interested." Joseph refused.

"Are you afraid of losing?" Aiden provoked him.

"Who said I'd lose?"

"People say that those who succeed in love always fail in gambles. Why don't we see if it's true." Aiden took the dice and said, "Let's play by the old rules, the smaller count will have to drink."

They started throwing dice.

Joseph was on a winning streak. Aiden, Michael, and Paisley were losing behind.

Aiden and Michael were agitated. "What is happening? Didn't it say that those who succeed in love fail in gambling? Why do you keep winning?"

"Exactly, what is happening? It must be we are sitting in an unlucky position," Michael asked to change seats with Joseph, but then he still lost.

He and Aiden downed two bottles of beers respectively while Paisley drank two bottles of XO.

Joseph did not even touch his glass once.

Aiden was already a little tipsy, but he still wanted to continue. Joseph put the dice down and said, "It's no fun to keep winning. Enough of this game."

The rest of them were drunk, but Joseph was still sober. Aiden staggered and said, "Didn't you say that he's going to lose because he succeeds in love?"

A hint of gloom flashed across Joseph's eyes. Who said that he was successful in love?

He was so annoyed that he didn't want to stay any longer. So he said gloomily, "Let's end the day."

"Okay, you should send Miss Anthony back." Paisley had drunk so much that he didn't have a choice but to do so.

When Paisley and Joseph walked out together, she was staggering but she was still conscious. Once both of them reached the parking lot, Bobby drove to where they were waiting. Out of courtesy, he helped her to hold the door.

Paisley turned sideways and got onto the car. As he was about to get into the car, a sharp voice echoed, "Wait!"

Joseph turned and saw Abbie's head poke out from a car. "Joseph, come here. I have something to say."

Joseph looked at her for a few seconds and walked to her. "What do you want to say?"

Abbie's body reeked of alcohol as she was drinking earlier. Once Joseph walked over to her, she opened the door and got down. She pointed at him and said, "My brother told me not to offend you, and I have promised not to. But I just can't take it any longer."

Seeing how Joseph helped Paisley hold the door so considerately, Abbie was furious.
