The Mysterious Billionaire

---

Paige smiled harder when Liam agreed to do it.

She signalled at her bodyguards, and one of them lifted his shirt and took out the hammer on his waist to give to Liam. "Mr. Anderson, I'll lend you my tool!"

They even prepared a hammer!

As Liam gritted his teeth, he took the hammer and slammed it hard on Kyrie's arm.

Kyrie screamed in pain. Paige shuddered when she saw how emotionless and cruel Liam could be. She controlled her emotions and said in a cold voice, "It seems that it's not broken yet. Let's do it again!"

Liam smashed the hammer four times, and Kyrie's hand went limp. He finally threw the iron hammer aside with his head full of sweat.

The bodyguard picked up the hammer and held it in his hand.

Paige then looked at Liam with a mocking smile. "Good. Actually, I was just testing you just now. I don't believe that you had nothing to do with what happened last night. After all, you have been defending the shameless mistress' family all this time. But fortunately, you have erased all my doubts with this!"

After that, she looked at Kyrie, who was rolling on the ground in pain. "In fact, I didn't expect my father to be so cruel even though all he wanted to do was to stand up for me. Breaking your hand was just a silly joke I made, and I never intended to follow through. After all, we are all law-abiding citizens. We can't do such bloody things."

"What? You... you... you were joking?" Liam was so angry that he gasped for air.

Paige ignored his expression and said, "Yeah, I was just joking. I just wanted to test your attitude towards me. After all, Elizabeth said that I was nothing, and you only have your other family in your heart. Now, I finally know that you love me! I will never listen to her words in the future."

After that, she turned to look at the two bodyguards. "Well, today's performance is over. I will transfer the money to your bank account. You can go now!"

"What? You... you hired them?" Liam opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes, they are actors. I pay them according to the hours they've worked. Apart from giving Kyrie a few slaps, everything else was fake. Their acting was so good and realistic! If it wasn't, you would've seen through them already."

"You... You…" Liam was so angry that he almost cursed, and the smile on Paige's face disappeared instantly. "Although I hired these actors to be bodyguards, there is a real one outside. Dad, do you want to meet him?"

As Paige finished her sentence, Bobby walked in from outside and said respectfully, "Miss Anderson, Sir Joseph said it's about time to go. Let's go deal with something else."

"I'm leaving now! Dad, take care of yourself. I’ll come back to see you later!" She left with Bobby.

Liam held his chest and trembled with anger. He had been completely fooled and played by her!

It was too infuriating!

Paige followed Bobby back to the parking lot, where Joseph was closing his eyes and resting. When she opened the door, he opened his eyes and smiled. "How did it go?"

"Very well!" Paige threw herself into his arms and said, "Come on, comfort me. It's my first time doing something like this. My heart is all over the place!"

"Okay, I'll comfort you!" He reached out to hug her and gently patted her shoulder. "Don't be afraid! Didn't I tell you to let me deal with it? You kept insisting to do it yourself!"

"I would be suppressed by others for the rest of my life if I don't learn to be strong," she replied as she held his waist. She had been extremely frightened when Liam ruthlessly broke Kyrie's hand with a hammer, but she did not want to show her weakness and acted tough.

Now that she had returned to Joseph's embrace, so she finally felt a little less afraid. "My dad is so scary, and he's too... too awful! The television shows are all true because it's so easy to be heartless!"

"You just realized that?" Joseph smiled helplessly.

"That's right. I just realized it, but it's a good thing that I finally did! Joseph, my father is truly scary. Since he could do that to his assistant who had been through thick and thin with him, he could probably do it to me too, right?"

Joseph nodded. "Yes!"

"What should I do? I can't deal with him as he did to Kyrie, but he can deal with me without limits. What should I do?"

For the first time, Paige was worried. She could take revenge on other people who tried to hurt her with an eye for an eye, but she couldn't do it to her own father. It was crossing the line for a daughter to take action against her father.

She didn't think that she could do such things.

Joseph looked at her miserable face and patted her on the shoulder. "Where there's a will, there's a way. Let's get to it slowly." After that, he ordered Bobby, "Go to the detention center!"

Bobby started the car, and she asked him curiously, "Why are we going there?"

"To deal with something else!" He smiled.

"Didn't you want to know whether they let Declan out from prison? You'll know after we go there!"

"Are you serious? Are we going to see him at the detention center?" She looked at Joseph with disbelief.

"Of course, it's true. Why would I lie to you?"
