Chapter 37
Paige waited for almost an hour in the pawn. Several staffs took magnifying glasses and carefully studied her jewelry one by one. Finally, they finished.
"These jewels are all real. I will report to our boss immediately. Miss Anderson, what is your estimated price?"
Of course a hundred million dollars. But Paige knew the jewels weren't worth that much. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
She had also learned to be smart now, "What do you think the highest price can be offered?"
"Let's ask the leaders and then make a bid for you. Please wait for a moment, Miss Anderson"
Less than ten minutes, they replied, "Miss Anderson, our boss said that he would pay you 100 million dollars for your jewels.
"One hundred million?" Paige was stunned. She suspected that she had heard it wrong. The staff repeated it again. Paige was shocked.
"But when I bought these jewelry, I didn't spend so much money. Isn't the pawn supposed to reduce the price? How could it be so much higher than the original price? Could you be mistaken?"
"There's nothing wrong with it."
The staff replied seriously, "Many of your jewelry has gone up in price now."
"Even so, it's impossible to go up so much. You'd better calculate it again. Don't get fired for
miscalculating." Paige kindly reminded.
"It can't be wrong, Miss Anderson. If you agree, we will accept these jewelry and give you 100 million dollars.
Of course, Paige agreed. She signed the contract with the staff, gave all the jewelry to the pawn and took away 100 million dollars.
Holding the check of 100 million dollars, Paige felt like she was in a dream. After getting on the car, she immediately called Joseph, "Hurry up and come back. I've prepared you a big surprise."
Joseph knew what Paige had in store for him. Just now, James vividly reported the whole story happened in the pawning.
Joseph burst into laughter when he heard the words and deeds of the silly woman.
He had to say that Paige was too pure and kind. It was lucky for her to run into him. If it were someone else, she would have been eaten to nothing.
Joseph immediately drove back to Lake View Nest. After five minutes or so, Paige came back.
As soon as she entered the room, she presented the check and handed it to him, "This is for you. Go and pay your debts right away!"
"So much money? How did you get it?" Joseph put on a surprised look.
"I won't tell you. Anyway, I've given you the money. You can take it immediately to pay the debt. Don't go to work in Climax Space anymore. Go find another job to do, okay?"
Joseph suppressed the urge to laugh and said, "I know, but in that case, I'll owe you one hundred million dollars. What if you force me to pay the debt back in the future?"
"I won't let you pay off your debts. Don't worry."
"But what if you turn against me in the future? You must have a purpose for such a large sum of money, don't you?"
"I don't have any purpose. I just want to help you."
"The people who lent me money before said the same words. But later, they asked me to do such a job. I've been fooled before and I don't dare to trust people anymore. You'd better tell me what you want, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take your money."
Joseph insisted that she tell him what she was up to. Paige was speechless. She had never met someone like him who refused to take the money but insisted on asking her purpose.
She said in a rough tone, "Let's just say I like you, just like all the rich women do. Here's my tip for you."
"Is that so? Then I'll be yours from now on, right?" The corners of Joseph's lips curled up into a sinister smile.
"That's right!" Paige said, in an unkind tone.
"Well, then I’ll take it reluctantly. I'll ask you one more question. Do I need to serve you tonight? Do you have any other special hobbies? For example, do you like to do strange things in bed?"
"Are you done or not?" Paige flushed and could not bear it anymore. She reached out to grab Joseph's check and said, "Take it or leave it!"
"I'll take it, how can I not?" Joseph would never allow her to snatch the check. He hid the check immediately and smiled mischievously.
Sophia and Isabella were driven out of the villa area by the security guards unceremoniously. They couldn't enter the villa area so they had no choice but to wait in a nearby coffee shop.
They found news searches while waiting in the cafe and saw Paige being praised for wearing limited- edition gowns.
However, they themselves were scolded as the mistresses and b*tches to the point of death. It fumed them with anger.
Sophia and Isabella kept calling Liam, and it was not until noon that they got through to Liam.
Hearing that Paige went home and asked the security guards to drive Sophia and Isabella out, Liam flew into a rage, "This b*stard! How dare she!"
"What shall we do now? We can't enter the villa. Paige told the security guard not to let us in, and asked the nanny to throw all our things out." Isabella complained sadly.
"I’ll go back and have a look."
Hearing Liam's words, joy flashed across their faces, "With Liam's support, we'll see what Paige can do to us."
Liam hung up the phone and got up angrily to go home. The secretary knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Anderson, there are reporter outside who want to interview you."
"Reporters? I don't want to see them!" Liam was in no mood to accept any interviews.
"It... it's not a good idea. They are from TV stations of B City." The secretary reminded.
"TV's reporters of B City?" Liam was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, "It's a great thing to be interviewed by B City TV station, which is the most influential media in B City. But why does B City TV station's reporters come to interview me?"
"Do you know why they're here?"
"They probably came here for the most searched hashtags."
"The most searched hashtags? What hashtags?" Liam still didn't know about the hot search, and the secretary didn't dare to tell him. After all, Liam was also scolded by netizens.
"You, the young lady, Miss Martin and Ms. Green, all are on the most searched hashtags for what happened at the feast last night."
"D*mn it! Why didn't you say it earlier?" Liam was furious.
He could imagine the content. "What a shame!"
The reporters from B City TV station must have come to see him make a fool of himself. Last night had been the first time in his life that Liam had been so humiliated.
Since he married Natalie, he had changed from a poor boy to a rich man with happy marriage and family, and his career was green all the way.
Now that he had lost all his face after he hooked up with Isabella. It could be imagined how angry Liam was.
What made him even angrier was Paige. It was all Paige's fault. If Paige hadn't come last night, he wouldn’t have lost his face.
The more Liam thought about it, the angrier he became, "D*mned b*stard, is she trying to piss me off for making such a thing? Ask the security guards to throw those d*mn reporters out right now."
"Mr. Anderson, I'm afraid it's not that easy. The major shareholder of the B City TV Station is Aiden. I think Aiden came prepared. If you let someone drive them away, it will certainly make it worse. Moreover... President of Wolf Group showed up at the banquet last night. In the most searched hot
topic, the relationship between The Young Lady and the Boss of Wolf Group was not that usual. You'd better think twice."
"Unusual? What does that mean?" Liam was stunned.
"Last night, the Boss of Wolf Group gave a custom-made dress to the young lady and even
unexpectedly showed up for the first time. Although he showed up through VCR, everyone was very surprised. If the rumours on the internet about their relationship are true, you'd better think twice."
