The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 337

Charles frowned at Ethan's bloody face and immediately ordered his driver as they were driving out of the police station, "Head to hospital now!"

Ethan wiped the blood on his face before exclaiming, "I'm fine! I don't need to go to the hospital!"

Charles did not insist after hearing his words, "Drive us to Ethan's house then!"

The driver immediately turned and headed to Merton Condominium. Charles followed Ethan off the car when they arrived and coughed as he said, "That incident last night…..stays between us!"

Ethan turned and stared at him, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation for your actions, uncle?"

"An explanation?" Charles asked with a sneer.

"Where do I even start? Sophia and I were both set up and we somehow ended up on bed together."

"That's it?" Ethan retorted.

"What? Did you think that I would be interested in a woman that you slept with?" Charles replied coldly, "I'm saying this not because I think that I'm disappointing your aunt, but make sure you forget about this incident if you don't want to upset her."

Ethan understood the meaning behind his words immediately. However, he was confused as to how Charles could pretend nothing had happened.

Charles had taken out his temper on Elizabeth by scolding and hitting her, and Ethan felt that it was a pity as it was obvious that Charles did not care about her at all.

Why would he marry Elizabeth if he had no feelings for her then?

Ethan thought as he tried to control the rage burning inside him, "I promise to keep this a secret from my aunt if you promise never to meet Sophia again."

"Alright, stop nagging, I know what to do," Charles waved impatiently, "Remember to go back and come up with an excuse so that you can answer your aunt when she questions you about it!"

Charles got in his car and left after reminding Ethan.

Ethan sighed as he watched the car drive out of the condominium.

He realised everyone wore masks and never treated anyone sincerely. Instead, they were all pretending to help each other while trying to stab each other in the back.

Ethan couldn't help but look back at the carefree days when he was still dating Paige. Paige had always been sincere and she had never betrayed him.

What did he do in return?

He cheated on her!

Ethan suddenly remembered that he had fainted while trying to stop a waitress from carrying Paige into the elevator.

He was worried about her.

He immediately picked up his phone to call her, but only a robotic voice could be heard from the other end, "The number that you've dialled is engaged, please try again later!"

Ethan felt ashamed as he hung up. How could he have forgotten that Paige had blocked him after their fight?

As he thought about how Paige had taken care of him when he was injured, Ethan teared up once he realised that he could never mend his relationship with Paige anymore.

He had only realised how important Paige was after losing her.

However, it was impossible for him to get her back, and no amount of regret could change this fact.

Paige picked up her phone to read the news as soon as she woke up the next morning.

Joseph reached out and pulled her back into his arms, "It's still early, so why don't we sleep a little longer?"

"I can't fall back asleep anymore! You can go ahead and rest more, I'll read the news!" She answered gently as she escaped from his arms.

Joseph reached for her again and caught her, "Just a little more!"

In the end, Joseph sat up and let go of Paige as he had been woken up by her attempts to escape.

Other than a report on what happened in Halcyon Hotel, there was nothing special on the news today.

Paige was scrolling through the news about Declan when she saw that the police had found out that Declan had been dealing with thousands of packets of drugs.

However, she was sure that Lamont had not found a large number of drugs when he was exploring Declan's house.

Where did the drugs come from then?

Paige thought before glancing at Joseph, "Did you do this?"

"Yes." Joseph nodded.

"Where did you find the drugs?"

"It's just drugs. Every household keeps some, right?" Joseph answered jokingly.

"Tell me the truth! I have no time for your jokes!" Joseph coughed dryly before answering, "I told my men to add some flour to the drugs because I thought that there were too little drugs around him!"

"Why did you do that?" Paige was stunned.
