Meanwhile, Paige and Joseph had no idea that Paisley and Danya's misfortune was a ploy. After Paisley and Danya were brought to the guest room, Paige was still frightened.

"Isn't it too dangerous around here? They're so lucky to run into you. I couldn't bear to think what would happen to them if they didn't!"

"Yeah, they are," Joseph nodded in agreement.

"Ms. Anthony and Danya must be scared out of their wits. Do you know if they've had dinner yet? Maybe I should prepare some food for them," Paige suggested enthusiastically.

However, Joseph stopped her and said, "Ask the servants to make it. You're the host now. You should go to Paisley and see what our guests need."

Paige's eyes widened in realization, "Oh! I forgot Paisley was robbed of everything. Of course, she'll need fresh clothes to change into. Since she's almost my size, she should be able to wear my clothes, right? I'll bring her some clothes right away."

"Go ahead," Joseph urged while stroking her hair.

Leaving Joseph, Paige went to her room and she picked out quite a few sets of outfits. She brought a lot with her for this trip, and some of them were gifted by Joseph. Even though she had disputes with Paisley, Paige wasn't petty enough to let Paisley wear clothes that she had worn before.

Therefore, with the new outfits, Paige went to knock on the guest room's door. Danya came to answer the door and she pulled a tight smile when she saw Paige. "Ms. Anthony is taking a bath."

"I'm here to give Ms. Anthony some clothes,"

Paige said as she handed the garments to Danya.

"Thank you, Miss Anderson," Danya politely replied to Paige. Not thinking much of it, Paige continued, "I've asked people to make food for the both of you. So, please, head downstairs and eat something later."

"It's kind of you to keep us in mind, Miss Anderson," Danya thanked Paige again with civility. Then, because they had run out of things to say, Paige left shortly after she gave Danya the clothes.

After sending Paige off, Danya closed the door and instantly dropped the smile on her face. She snorted and muttered under her breath, "Who is she trying to fool with the innocent act, I can see through you at first glance."

When Paisley came out of the bathroom, she noticed the clothes placed on the bed. Then, as she went to have a closer look at them, she found out that they were all limited edition from luxurious brands. She couldn't help but ask Danya, "Did Paige send these?"

"Yes. I've made sure that these are new. So, Ms. Anthony, you can put them on!"

However, Paisley didn't appreciate Paige's kind gesture. She scoffed, "Can you believe that she's giving me such expensive items willingly? Are you sure she isn't flaunting?"

"You're right. Paige doesn't seem as simple as she looks. She's obviously showing off her status by sending clothes to you and arranging for our dinner so enthusiastically."

Danya disregarded Paige's good intentions as well and she scorned, "But she probably forgot that as long as Sir Hayden disapproves of her, things wouldn't work out between her and Sir Joseph. I can't wait to see Sir Hayden give her a good slap in her face."

"She's certainly going to receive a blow to her pride. I'm just a little pissed off. I supposed she must be very happy to see me in misery, isn't she? I won't let this go! I'll let her do all she likes for now, and then she'll know what I have in store for her!" Paisley's blood was boiling.

"Are you going to call Sir Hayden then?" Danya asked.

"Why should I? Sir Hayden must be well aware of this. It wouldn't change anything even if I called," Paisley replied to Danya in frustration.

"Even so, I think you should still make the call. After all, Sir Hayden sent you here. You have to let him know Sir Joseph brought a woman with him."

However, Danya had a different opinion than Paisley. She wasn't going to let Paisley be wronged in any bit. So, she tried her best to convince Paisley to complain to Hayden.

Yet, Paisley ignored Danya's words. She was not known as the brilliant girl for no reason.

She knew that it wasn't the right time for her to ask for Hayden's help. He must have been using this opportunity to evaluate her performance as well.

Paisley knew Hayden wouldn't think she was worthy of Joseph if she was just another helpless woman, who could only cry for help when in distress.

Since Joseph had such an outstanding appearance, Hayden was the one who had the upper hand in their arrangement. If Paisley failed to meet his requirements, he could have moved on to match Joseph with other talented debutantes. Therefore, Paisley's main goal at the moment was to take care of everything on her own so that Hayden would look at her in admiration.

It wasn't until late night when both Paisley and Danya had cleaned up and had their dinner. Paige was already exhausted by the time they finished their meal. Because of this, Joseph brought her back to their bedroom with his arms wrapped around her waist.

Meanwhile, Paisley's eyes darkened with baleful thoughts when she saw Joseph and Paige enter the same room without batting an eyelid.

Danya was also looking at the back of the couple in contempt while whispering to Paisley, "And she thinks she's a daughter of a well-mannered family. A decent girl with proper upbringing wouldn't just sleep around with men before marriage."

She said that with the intention of humiliating Paige, but to Paisley, Danya's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Paisley came to Sydney because she was after the same thing as Paige. If Joseph didn't mind sleeping with her, Paisley definitely wouldn't refuse him.

At the thought of it, Paisley glanced at Danya in displeasure and warned, "Watch your tongue! The walls here have ears!"

"Yes... I'm sorry. I'II keep it in mind." Danya quickly apologized. Seeing that Paisley had gotten mad all of a sudden, she warily added, "Miss, it's late now. You should rest early tonight."

"Okay, you too. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."

At the same time, Paige was thrown into bed in the master bedroom after Joseph had brought her back. She was already completely drained of energy, yet she didn't forget that they had guests. So, Paige reminded, "We're not alone. Can we not do it tonight?"

Joseph asked in response, "They're going to stay here until they get their passports. Are you saying that we can't have sex until they leave? Then what should I do if I really want that?"

"Just why do you have such a high libido?" Paige asked, feeling absurd.
