The Mysterious Billionaire

Paige and Joseph left the hospital together and returned back to the car.

Paige sighed heavily and said, "Do you know why my father was chasing me away?"

"Was it because he couldn't scold you while I was there? Chasing you out would be equivalent to chasing me out as well!"

"That's just one of the reasons. Another one is that if we leave, he could call his mistress and her daughter to come to accompany him."

"Really?" asked Joseph.

"Yes. To him, I'm the disobedient and rebellious one. That lady and her daughter are sweet and gentle. I'm betting that he is going to say things about me later."

Joseph caressed her head and asked, "Are you upset?"

"No, I think I've gotten used to his way of treating me!"

"Was he like this from the start? Does he hit you all the time and whenever he wants to?"

"Actually, he was nothing like this when my mother was still here. He treated me so well, just like how a father should. After my mum passed away, he totally changed."

Paige sighed again and said, "Maybe it's really because I was disobedient."

"You're already good enough. Don't start putting the blame on yourself. It's definitely not you, it's him."

"You're the only one who will say words like these to me. Joseph, you're the best! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know how to get through this. I'm just so grateful to have you." Paige clung to his neck and immersed herself in the smell of his cologne.

"I'm so blessed to have you..."

Joseph hugged her tightly upon hearing the depressing words from her. "Paige, you are the most genuine person I have ever met. I'm so lucky to have you too. I promise to treat you well forever!"

"Really? You better keep this in mind. You have to treat me well for the rest of your life. Don't ever break my heart!"

"I promise!" Joseph assured.

Sophia and Isabella rushed to the hospital as soon as they received the phone call from Liam.

Without asking further, they could guess that it was because of Paige that he had ended up in the hospital.

When they entered the ward, Isabella asked worriedly, "How did all this happened?"

"It's all because of that disobedient daughter of mine! Ugh, I'm so pissed off!" Liam put the blame on Paige completely.

Hearing Liam's words, Isabella said with a distressed face, "How could she be so mean to you? You are her dad, after all. How could she hurt you like that?"

"I didn't expect her to be this rebellious as well. D*mn it, she thinks she's a grownup now and my words don't matter anymore."

Liam was mad at Paige, and the fact that he couldn't cooperate with Hardy angered him more, "What's so good about Joseph? A pretty face is all he got. Hardy is a capable man. She must be blind if she doesn't like him!"

"Indeed. Why wouldn't she like someone like Hardy? If it's Sophia, she would have tried her best to help you. How heartless of her." Isabella immediately tried to draw a line between Liam and Paige.

She said, "Liam, I'm not trying to say anything bad about Paige, I just feel that it shouldn't be that way. How could a daughter be so cruel toward her father? It's as if she's your enemy."

"I know right. I'm just so disappointed that I've raised such a daughter like her for 20 years."

Looking at Liam's disgusted face, Isabella added oil to the fire and said, "Liam, you should really consider what I said. I've always felt that there is something wrong. It would be best if you take a DNA test."

Isabella brought up a sensitive topic. He usually would be furious hearing these words from her. However, this time, he was actually considering it.

"Let's talk about that next time!"

"Stop delaying it. If she really is your daughter, you should educate her properly. You should have a plan if she isn't. What if she becomes worse and brings outsiders to fight against you in the future?"

Liam thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine with taking the test, but that girl is going to travel abroad. I don't have anything for the DNA test."

"It's actually simpler than you think. The cup she used before or even her hair can be used as samples."

Liam finally made a decision and he said, "Alright, let's do it! I'II let someone look for her hair for the test."

Hearing that from Liam, Isabella and Sophia secretly eyed each other delightfully.

After having dinner with Joseph, Paige was still worried about Liam.

She then specially bought some food for Liam and headed back to the hospital.

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the hospital, she saw Liam walking to the parking lot, escorted by Isabella and her daughter.

Paige smiled bitterly as she saw how happy they were when they entered the car.

She clearly knew in the first place that Liam would call that woman and her daughter to accompany him after she left.

So why did she even bother to do this?
