The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 237

Joseph looked at Hardy's concerned face and replied nonchalantly, "She accidentally sprained her ankle, so I'm taking her to see a doctor."

Upon seeing Paige's tearful eyes, Hardy was very anxious, "Does it hurt? I'll go with you!"

Joseph was being weird.

Hardy could see that Paige was embarrassed to be carried like that by him, "I'm much better now. Please let me down!"

She had been complaining and crying in his arms not long ago. But now she felt better after Hardy appeared. It was clear that she wanted to draw a line between them.

Joseph's face darkened as he said in a cold voice, "Are you sure you can stand on your own?"

"I can try to stand..."

He put her down immediately after she finished her sentence. She was in so much pain that she almost fell, but he ignored her and said, "Mr. Anthony, you should go with her. I have something to do!"

After saying that, he left without waiting for their reactions.

Seeing him leave like that, Paige was filled with anger, pain, and hatred. Her tears flowed down vigorously at the moment.

Hardy thought that she was crying from the pain, so he comforted her softly, "Hold on for a bit, we'll go

to the doctor right away."

However, Paige's tears kept falling uncontrollably.

She wasn't in pain anymore. Indeed, she was crying out of anger towards Joseph!

How could he be so heartless?

He hurt her first, and now he left her with Hardy.

How irresponsible of him!

Paige picked up her mobile phone and called Abbie, "Abbie, I sprained my ankle, boohoo..."

Abbie quickly came out of the hall and saw her crying like a baby, "How did you sprain it?"

"I slipped!" Paige answered with tears in her eyes.

"Let's go see the doctor! Everything will be fine!"

Paige felt much better with Abbie around.

She helped her into the elevator, as Hardy followed them from behind, and the three of them went to the infirmary.

After the doctor examined Paige, he mentioned that her ankle was sprained, so he applied some

ointment on the injury.

Hardy was worried, "Is the injury serious? Does she need to go to the hospital?"

"No. We'll apply the ointment first, and it'll be much better after compressing it with a hot towel," the doctor replied.

After hearing the doctor's reassurance, Hardy finally relaxed.

Abbie helped Paige out of the infirmary afterward. Since she was in no condition to go back to the main hall, she helped her back to her room to rest.

Paige was a bit embarrassed with Hardy following them around, so she spoke...

"Mr. Anthony, I'm fine now. You can go and tend to your business!"

"I don't have anything up. I'll send you guys back to your room first!" Hardy only left after sending them off.

After closing the door, Abbie poured a glass of water for her. Paige wasn't that type of person who would cry because of a sprained ankle. There was definitely something up with her.

"Tell me, what happened just now?"

"It's all Joseph's fault. He pushed me and he just left me. He makes me so mad!" Paige told Abbie everything that had happened.

"You really don't have any dignity! You're crying just because of that? You should have given him a big slap in the face and hit him with your heels!" Abbie was furious.

"I will hit him to death with my heels next time!"

"Come on, pigs can fly if you are willing to do something to Joseph!" Abbie retorted.

Paige rubbed her eyes and vowed, "I will definitely hit him with heels. I'll prove it to you! You'll see!"

"Pff!" Abbie didn't believe it.

After applying the ointment, her foot wasn't as painful anymore. She knew that Abbie would have loved being at the lively hall downstairs. She must have been bored being here, and Paige didn't really need her company either, "You should go down. I can stay here alone."

"Alright, I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything." Abbie didn't insist on staying behind.

After she left, Paige lay in bed and watched TV for a while.

She was so bored, and the thought of Joseph made her clench her jaw in anger.

At this moment, he was probably enjoying his time with Paisley.

She couldn't let him off the hook so easily, so she picked up her phone and sent him a message. "Joseph, you b*stard! You deserve to die!"

Joseph returned to the hall in a fit of anger.

When James saw his unhappy expression, he walked up to him and said, "Who's troubling you?"

"Paige", Joseph muttered her name through his gritted teeth.

When James saw his expression, he knew that Joseph was furious. To irritate Joseph to such an extent required special circumstances.

He didn't dare say anything else with Joseph being so angry, so he changed the topic and asked, "Do you want a drink?"

"No. Anyway, did the police say anything about the bank card?" Joseph asked.

"They were very stubborn about it. They insisted that some random person picked it up on the streets that guessed the pin code and got lucky with it. The reason they transferred the money out was because of the large sum inside it."

"Wasn't that just nonsense?" Joseph didn't believe it at all, but there was nothing he could do to get them to tell the truth.

James tested the waters and asked, "Miss Anderson must be very anxious, right? Did you tell her the truth?"

"I would be stupid if I told her the truth. She's so stubborn. She keeps insisting on paying me back when she has nothing. I won't tell her anything! We'll see how is she gonna return it."

"Uh... this isn't a good idea!" Joseph's phone rang as soon as James was done speaking.

He glanced at the notification and saw that it was a foul message from Paige. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

He laughed out of anger, "I won't be called Joseph Dawson if I were to tell her the truth!"

Paige sent the message in hopes of making things difficult for Joseph, but she did not expect any reply from him.

However, a notification popped up soon after she sent the text, "How dare you scold me! Do you want to die?"

"That's right. I do want to die. Come kill me if you can! How shameless of you to lay a finger on a woman! I didn't know you were like this. I regret everything with you, you abusive man!" Paige replied.

Joseph stood up when he saw her accusing him to be an abusive man.

James stopped him and said, "Mr. Dawson, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to be an abuser! What is Paige's room number?"

"Mr. Dawson, this isn't a good idea", James tried to persuade him.

"Tell me! What is her room number?" Joseph said more harshly.

James gave him a bitter smile. "She's on the same floor as us. Just two rooms away from yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph turned around and left. Just as he reached the hall's exit,

Paisley came over with a smile on her face. "I was looking for you."

"What's the matter?" Joseph said in an obviously impatient tone.

"Mr. Cook and Michael are looking for you to play cards."

"I don't have time for that. I have something else to do." After finishing his sentence, Joseph walked away.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face as she helplessly watched him leave.

She had never been ignored like this, so her face turned extremely pale.

Who had offended Joseph?

Before she could figure anything out, a coy voice came from behind her, "Miss Anthony, I have something to talk to you about."
