The Mysterious Billionaire

Joseph had returned to the Dawson Group casually after he had parted ways with Paige. When he came out of the elevator, he saw the office door next to his was opened.

He glanced inside the room as he passed by just to see Paisley was checking at documents while sitting in front of her desk.

He did not stop but straight strode back to his office. His secretary immediately followed up once he saw Joseph had returned, "Mr. Dawson, there's a meeting today."

He interrupted the secretary, "Let's not talk about the meeting first. What's going on with the office next to mine?"

The secretary immediately replied, "It's more convenient for business partners to be next to each other, so I arranged for Miss Anthony's office to be next to yours."

"Hah!" Joseph sneered. He had brazenly refused to cooperate with her yesterday, but he was surprised to see that she had managed to force her way in.

Moreover, her office was even arranged to be next to his!

Did Paisley have ulterior motives, or was Hayden setting up some kind of trap?

James called him while Joseph was deep in thought.

"Mr. Dawson, just as you expected, Liam is indeed planning to transfer the company's funds. I just received news that he was preparing to register for a new company yesterday afternoon, but he didn't succeed because we dealt with the industrial and commercial bureau beforehand."

Joseph had been suspicious of Liam's intentions to transfer the company's funds since the day he did the DNA identification with Paige. Therefore, he had asked James to arrange for someone to keep an eye on him, and he dealt with the staff in charge of the industrial and commercial bureau just in case.

Joseph would immediately find a way to put an end to his plans if Liam wanted to-register for a new company.

Liam's company registration was within the time frame that he had expected, even though the latter had taken action a bit later than he predicted.

Joseph was not concerned about Liam at all, and he only ordered James casually, "He probably won't give up so easily, and he'll find a way to continue his plans. Arrange for someone to keep an eye on him at all times, stop him immediately if there's any sign of trouble!"

"One more thing. Liam and Sir Hayden had an appointment last night. I don't know what they talked about, but I'm guessing it must have something to do with you and Miss Anderson," James said.

Joseph paused for a moment. "When did they meet?"

"At 12 o'clock at night!"

"Why didn't you tell me when it happened?" He asked in a harsh tone.

"I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, so I didn't want to disturb you. Mr. Dawson, do you think their meeting is a big problem?"

"It must be. Why didn't you find a way to get close to them last night to figure out what they were talking about?" Joseph asked unhappily.

James immediately explained, "I wanted to arrange our men to listen into their conversation, but there were bodyguards standing outside the room they met. They did not allow anyone to get close to them during the whole process, so there was nothing I could do."

"Why didn't you deal with Liam beforehand?" Joseph asked again.

"Our men wanted to follow Liam, but they saw Hardy's men following him as well. Our men were one step behind, as he was the first to follow Liam."

Joseph was annoyed when he heard Hardy's name, "Hardy was following Liam? Did he find out anything?"

James was not sure, "Probably. Hardy was closer to them, so he might hear more than we did."

Joseph thought for a moment and said, "Get someone to keep following them. I'll find a way to see what's going on with Hayden."

His secretary urged him to go to the meeting again once he had hung up his phone, so Joseph had to get up and go to the conference room.

Paige talked to Lucian for a while and then left. Lucian immediately went back to her room after sending her off.

She picked up her cell phone and dialled Lamont's number, "Miss Anderson has just been here, and she encountered a large problem indeed."

"Really? Tell me what kind of trouble she has."

She told Lamont in detail about Liam's plan to transfer the funds, "What do we do now? Miss Anderson is very anxious. She trusted Liam too much before, and Madam Natalie left her so suddenly. She is so pitiful... Lamont, you have to find a way to help her."

He was silent for a long time before replying, "All this happened too sudden. Liam's plan is progressing too fast, and we have no time to prepare. I think we might have to visit Mr. Saunders."

"Archer Saunders? You want to look for Archer? No, you can't go to him!" Lucian stopped him.

"Who else other than President Saunders would have enough power to help her?" Lamont responded with a question.

"Madam was deeply hurt by Archer after being forced to marry Liam. No one could even mention his name in front of her during the years I was with her. Let me put it this way, her hate for him isn't so simple because everything that happened to her was his fault! If you were to look for him for help, she wouldn't be able to rest easy."

"So I can't ask him for help because of that? Haven't you thought about why Liam suddenly decided to transfer the company's funds at this time? Miss Anderson is his daughter after all, don't you find his actions strange?" Lamont asked.

"What's so strange about it? Liam has always been a greedy and shameless person. It's very normal for him to scheme things like this," Lucian's disgust for Liam was beyond comprehension.
