The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 256

Paige and Joseph left the hospital together and returned back to the car.

Paige sighed heavily and said, "Do you know why my father was chasing me away?"

"Was it because he couldn't scold you while I was there? Chasing you out would be equivalent to chasing me out as well!"

"That's just one of the reasons. Another one is that if we leave, he could call his mistress and her daughter to come to accompany him."

"Really?" asked Joseph.

"Yes. To him, I'm the disobedient and rebellious one. That lady and her daughter are sweet and gentle. I'm betting that he is going to say things about me later."

Joseph caressed her head and asked, "Are you upset?"

"No, I think I've gotten used to his way of treating me!"

"Was he like this from the start? Does he hit you all the time and whenever he wants to?"

"Actually, he was nothing like this when my mother was still here. He treated me so well, just like how a father should. After my mum passed away, he totally changed."

Paige sighed again and said, "Maybe it's really because I was disobedient."

"You're already good enough. Don't start putting the blame on yourself. It's definitely not you, it's him."

"You're the only one who will say words like these to me. Joseph, you're the best! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know how to get through this. I'm just so grateful to have you." Paige clung to his neck and immersed herself in the smell of his cologne.

"I'm so blessed to have you..."

Joseph hugged her tightly upon hearing the depressing words from her. "Paige, you are the most genuine person I have ever met. I'm so lucky to have you too. I promise to treat you well forever!"

"Really? You better keep this in mind. You have to treat me well for the rest of your life. Don't ever break my heart!"

"I promise!" Joseph assured.

Sophia and Isabella rushed to the hospital as soon as they received the phone call from Liam.

Without asking further, they could guess that it was because of Paige that he had ended up in the hospital.

When they entered the ward, Isabella asked worriedly, "How did all this happened?"

"It's all because of that disobedient daughter of mine! Ugh, I'm so pissed off!" Liam put the blame on Paige completely.

Hearing Liam's words, Isabella said with a distressed face, "How could she be so mean to you? You are her dad, after all. How could she hurt you like that?"

"I didn't expect her to be this rebellious as well. D*mn it, she thinks she's a grownup now and my words don't matter anymore."

Liam was mad at Paige, and the fact that he couldn't cooperate with Hardy angered him more, "What's so good about Joseph? A pretty face is all he got. Hardy is a capable man. She must be blind if she doesn't like him!"

"Indeed. Why wouldn't she like someone like Hardy? If it's Sophia, she would have tried her best to help you. How heartless of her." Isabella immediately tried to draw a line between Liam and Paige.

She said, "Liam, I'm not trying to say anything bad about Paige, I just feel that it shouldn't be that way. How could a daughter be so cruel toward her father? It's as if she's your enemy."

"I know right. I'm just so disappointed that I've raised such a daughter like her for 20 years."

Looking at Liam's disgusted face, Isabella added oil to the fire and said, "Liam, you should really consider what I said. I've always felt that there is something wrong. It would be best if you take a DNA test."

Isabella brought up a sensitive topic. He usually would be furious hearing these words from her. However, this time, he was actually considering it. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Let's talk about that next time!"

"Stop delaying it. If she really is your daughter, you should educate her properly. You should have a plan if she isn't. What if she becomes worse and brings outsiders to fight against you in the future?"

Liam thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine with taking the test, but that girl is going to travel abroad. I don't have anything for the DNA test."

"It's actually simpler than you think. The cup she used before or even her hair can be used as samples."

Liam finally made a decision and he said, "Alright, let's do it! I'II let someone look for her hair for the test."

Hearing that from Liam, Isabella and Sophia secretly eyed each other delightfully.

After having dinner with Joseph, Paige was still worried about Liam.

She then specially bought some food for Liam and headed back to the hospital.

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the hospital, she saw Liam walking to the parking lot, escorted by Isabella and her daughter.

Paige smiled bitterly as she saw how happy they were when they entered the car.

She clearly knew in the first place that Liam would call that woman and her daughter to accompany him after she left.

So why did she even bother to do this?

Seeing what happened, Paige went back to the villa with Joseph. Before this, she was still worried about Liam and even considered cancelling her plan to Australia.

But it seemed like she didn't need to worry anymore. He was enjoying his time with Isabella and Sophia.

After packing up her passport and some clothes, Paige and Joseph returned together to his villa.

The next morning, they boarded the plane together with Bobby.

Hayden had arranged for Lucas to accompany them. Lucas was looking around for Joseph in the airport. He only found Joseph when he got on the plane.

Seeing Paige who was next to Joseph, he was shocked. He then immediately reached out to his phone and wanted to report to Hayden.

Joseph placed his hand on Paige's waist and raised his eyebrows at Lucas with a wicked smile.

For some reason, Lucas' courage dropped, and he slowly retracted his hand. He greeted respectfully, "Sir Joseph!"

"Yes, I'm bringing Paige along for a trip. Why are you so surprised? You know Paige, don't you?" Joseph said with a smile, "Paige, this is Uncle Lucas.”

"Hello, Uncle Lucas!" Paige greeted him politely. Lucas replied with a smile, "Hello, Miss Anderson!"

After greeting Paige, Lucas looked around for Bobby but he was nowhere to be seen, "Where is Bobby?"

Joseph put his hand on Paige's shoulder and said with a smile, "I've asked Bobby to take Paige's seat. Help yourself and take a seat!"

Lucas sat down, but he felt that Joseph's smile meant something else. He continued to stay in his seat, as he was filled with guilt about what he had done.

The plane rumbled as it took off from the runway. Lucas felt a bit uneasy as time went by.

Joseph was arranged by Hayden to go to Australia. At the same time, Paisley was also on her way to Australia. If she knew that Joseph brought Paige along with him, it would be extremely awkward.

However, the plane had already taken off.

There was no way to tell Hayden about it.

What should he do now?
