The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 228

James turned around as Joseph slowly walked over with his hands in his pockets.

"No matter where Joseph goes, he always looks like a beautiful work of art." Michael praised.

"Pff! What nonsense is that? It's his sex appeal! Can't you see through his cheekiness?"

As they were talking, Joseph walked up to them and asked, "What are you guys so happily talking about?"

Aiden smiled and said, "Well, don't you think Paige looks so beautiful tonight?"

"Yeah, Paige is so beautiful. I have never seen her dress up like this." Michael joined in.

Joseph sat down and followed Aiden and Michael's line of vision. His eyes lit up when he saw Paige who was getting food with Abbie.

Abbie also noticed Joseph and said, "Hey, Joseph is here! He's looking at you. I can't tell if he is regretting it or not."

As soon as Abbie finished her sentence, Joseph immediately looked away.

"Sh*t, you are so beautiful tonight, but Joseph has no reaction at all. What the hell!" Abbie muttered, "I don't believe that Paisley is as beautiful as you are!"

On the other side, Joseph sat down as if nothing had happened after looking at Paige. Aiden purposely asked him...

"Paige is beautiful, right? Do you regret breaking up with her?"

"What should I regret for? Am I the kind of person that will pull back on my words?"

"You keep lying to yourself. I don't believe that you can keep up that facade…"

"Ms. Anthony is here!" James said.

Paisley, who was swaying in her long champagne-colored dress then walked over graciously.

"If I were Joseph, I wouldn't know how to choose. One is beautiful and elegant, while the other is cute and simple-minded. Getting married to either one of them would be good enough."

Aiden's words caught Joseph's attention.

He smiled cheekily and said, "Did I say anything wrong? See, don't you want to enjoy the married life?"

"Shut up!" Joseph frowned. Paisley walked to their side and said, "Hello, Mr. Field, Mr. Cook, and Michael!"

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Anthony! You look so beautiful tonight!" The three of them praised her endlessly.

"Thank you!" Paisley smiled and looked at Joseph, "I just called you, why didn't you answer?"

"I didn't hear it. My phone was muted," Joseph lied calmly.

"So what did you call me for?"

"Uhm, nothing... I just wanted to know if you were coming over."

"I see... Well, you look beautiful today!" Joseph also praised her.

A red blush spread across Paisley's cheeks.

She looked at Joseph shyly and said, "Uh... Thank you."

James, Aiden, and Michael, who were sitting next to him, looked at each other. Was it appropriate for them to sit here as third wheelers?

The three people stood up one after another.

Aiden yawned and said, "Let's go and get some food. Joseph, do you want me to take some for you?"

"No, I'II get it myself!" Joseph also stood up.

"I'II get something to eat."

Paisley dressed up for tonight, hoping that Joseph would give her a few more glances.

However, he did not take her seriously at all.

She was very disappointed. Seeing Joseph abandoned her to get some food for himself, she bit her lip and followed him.

Paige and Abbie took some food and were ready to find a place to eat. When they saw Joseph and Paisley walking towards them, Paige's face darkened.

Joseph was so obnoxious. Was he openly declaring his relationship with Paisley?

Afterward, Paige found a seat with Abbie and they sat down to eat.

Although she had her head lowered, Paisley's soft voice kept ringing in her ears, "Do you want this?"

"No, thanks." Joseph's voice was also very gentle.

"This is very delicious. It was specially made by the chef hired by my brother. Try it?"

Paisley acted like a spoiled child. Joseph couldn't stand such an attitude, so he agreed and said, "Okay, I'll try it."

Paige couldn't stand it anymore. She threw down her tableware and left.

Feeling the tightness in her chest, she hurried out of the dining room to get some air.

Just as she stood next to a basin and let out a sigh, footsteps came from behind her, and she heard a man's snickering voice, "You also have days like this?"

Paige did not turn her head and said, "Get out!"

Ethan did not get out. Instead, he took a few steps forward.

"I told you before that I was deceived and I made a mistake. You refused to give me a chance and you only had Joseph in your eyes. Look who's abandoned now, this is karma."

Hearing Ethan's unsympathetic voice, Paige turned her head and looked at him coldly.

"What right do you have to mock me here? Although Joseph is a player, he has never cheated on me. When he was with me, there were no other women with him. He found his next partner only after breaking up with me. What about you? What the hell?"

"You mocked Joseph for being ignorant and incompetent, but how much better are you than him? What else can you do without Elizabeth's care? Oh right, Joseph has the capability and he can afford to play around with women with what he has. And you? Look at yourself in the mirror. You only know how to take advantage of others!"

Ethan's face stiffened at Paige's words, "Paige, I'II let you see the difference between me and Joseph. Just wait. I'll definitely show you!"

"In your dreams! You have no hope to be comparable to Joseph in this life. After all, Joseph is open and honest. He never schemed against others in any way. Even after we broke up, he compensated me with a hundred million dollars. Can trash like you give others a hundred million dollars? You can't even bear to give me ten dollars, can you?"

Such a direct insult made Ethan tremble with anger. He wanted to provoke Paige as a joke, but he didn't expect the tables to turn on him. Eventually, he made a fool out of himself.

He didn't know what kind of unpleasant words he would hear if he stayed with Paige any longer, so he left in a huff.

Seeing Ethan scram, Paige felt that the tension in her chest loosened.

When she was ready to go back, she suddenly saw Sophia.

Sophia was also deliberately dressed up for today, as she spent a lot of money to buy the dress and a bag for the party.

She had a pretty face and a curvaceous body, along with some wealth.

There were many playboys at the party and Sophia was unfamiliar to them. With her skimpy outfit and heavy makeup, many of them treated her as an escort.

Along the way, several playboys with female companions showed their interest in Sophia.

However, they had brought their female companions with them, so they couldn't say anything else.

Sophia thought that her sexiness would make her the center of attention, and those rich men would be swarming around her. But she realized that she overestimated herself.

"Today is not wasted, is it?" When Sophia was thinking about this, Lexis came out of the elevator with a mobile phone in his hand.

Lexis Burtos was Hardy's distant cousin.

Since the night Joseph made people took off and threw away his clothes, he had been too ashamed to appear in public. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Today was Hardy's party. He had been holding it in for too long, so he had to come over to join in the fun.

Upon seeing Sophia with her good figure and heavy makeup, his eyes lit up and he whistled, "Wow, what a pretty girl!"

Seeing Lexis's outfit and his watch which was worth a million dollars on his wrist, Sophia's eyes also lit up. She showed him a charming smile and winked at him.

Lexis was a pervert. When he saw that Sophia reciprocated his advancements, he immediately went up and groped her butt, "Hey beauty, I don't think I have seen you before? Which company are you from?"
