The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 217

Joseph got into his car again.

Looking at his hand, Paisley took out a tissue to help him stop the bleeding but she didn't ask him anything.

She was a smart woman who knew how to observe the situation.

While helping Joseph to stop the bleeding, she told Bobby, "Hurry to the hospital!"

"No, it's not necessary, just send Ms. Anthony home," Joseph said expressionlessly.

"But your hand might be infected!"

"Nah... It's just a minor injury," Joseph insisted on not going, so Paisley could only oblige.

It was only a small injury, so he could take care of it himself. Besides, they weren't familiar enough for her to make decisions for him.

Bobby quickly sent Paisley back to the Anthony family. Once she got down, she waved to him and the car sped off.

Once there were no outsiders, Bobby asked, "Sir, should I send you to the hospital?"

"No, it's just external injury. It's not very serious though," Joseph said in annoyance with a gloomy expression.

"Miss Cook drank too much, you don't have to take her words seriously."

"I know. I couldn't hold it in just now. But I'm much better now," Joseph could be honest in front of Bobby.

Once they returned to the villa, Bobby put some disinfectant on his wound. After bandaging it, he went back upstairs.

It was already late at night, but Joseph was not in the least tired. His hand hurt slightly, but he just stood quietly on the balcony until sunrise.

When the sky was illuminated with golden shadows, he returned to his bedroom.

After being awake the whole night, he turned off his phone and fell asleep soon.

He finally woke up at noon. After he took a bath, he felt much better and went downstairs.

Bobby was waiting dutifully downstairs.

Once he saw Joseph, he stood up.

"Sir Joseph, you're awake!"

"Yes! No one called me, right?" Joseph asked.

"Mr. Aiden called and asked about how you were. When he heard that you were fine, he hung up."

Bobby replied. "Sir Joseph, are you hungry? Where should we go for lunch?"

"Let's go to Wolf Group! Ask James to go too," Joseph replied.

The car then sped off to Wolf Group. As Bobby was driving, he kept glancing at Joseph.

He was completely different from how he was the previous night, where his brows were tightly knotted together. But now, there was no sign of sadness on him.

Bobby breathed a sigh of relief and sped up.

Once the car arrived at Wolf Group, Joseph got down and entered the hotel.

In the hall, Abbie held Paige's hand with a bitter expression. "Paige, my brother has cut off my card. From today onwards, I am broke and have nothing on me anymore. You have to take care of me from now on, alright?'

"What's going on?" Paige looked at Abbie in surprise. He spoilt her very much so why would he do that?

"It's a long story. I drank a little too much yesterday. And when I saw Joseph and Paisley getting close, I couldn't stop myself from scolding him."

Abbie scratched her head and said, "Joseph is such a petty man. Not only did he get violent, he even threatened me and complained to my brother. So he cut off my card. Well.. I am so unlucky."

"Did he actually hit you?" Paige's eyes widened in surprise. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"He didn't actually hit me, but he punched my car. And now my car is dented. I have to spend a few hundred thousand dollars to have it repaired. My brother doesn't want to help me to fix it too. So I have to find a way. And that jerk, Joseph said he was going to cut off my tongue if I ever say something ridiculous to him."

"Abbie, I know you did it for me... I got you into this." Paige sighed and said, "Next time, you should walk away if you ever see him. Don't provoke him because of me. It's not worth it."

"I know. I won't do it ever again. But I don't know when my brother will recover my card."

"It doesn't matter. I can lend you some money."

Upon hearing this, Abbie smiled and said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. By the way, why are you treating me to lunch at Wolf Group today?"

"I'm not treating you. It's my dad," Liam was going to treat Hardy for lunch, and he forced Paige to come as well.

Paige didn't want to, but since Hardy agreed to it so she had no choice but to attend the lunch date. To prevent Liam from doing anything embarrassing, she asked Abbie to come together.

As long as Abbie was around, Liam wouldn't be so shameless and care more about his reputation.

Hearing that it was Liam who invited her, she nodded and said, "Alright, it's rare that your father is treating us. We can go shopping after that. There is a new fish spa that we can try."

"Fish spa? Forget it," Paige thought of how the fish bit her and she got a goosebump immediately.

Abbie spoke softly in her ear. "I'm telling you, the real reason I'm going is because there's a handsome hunk there. I am going to flirt with him."

"Aren't you afraid that your brother will find out?"

"I'm not afraid. Why can't I flirt with men?" Abbie's self-righteousness made Paige laugh out loud.

Afterward, familiar footsteps sounded behind them and Paige saw Joseph at this point. Her footsteps halted and her smile disappeared.

Abbie was about to tell Paige about the handsome guy but when she saw her stop walking, she turned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Joseph walked past them with long strides and went to the lift. He didn't even spare them a glance.

Watching Joseph get in, Abbie finally came to her senses.

"Did you see that? His hands are wrapped with a bandage. That is evidence that he hit my car yesterday. He must be a violent person. It's a good thing that you broke up with him. What if he hits you?"

Paige didn't reply.

Joseph always coaxed her, so it was the first time seeing him act so cold towards her. This made Paige

feel uneasy.

The man who just brushed past her was like an entirely different person. He exuded an aura that told people to keep away. Paige's heart sank and upset as they were now strangers.

Because of the encounter with Joseph, Paige was in a bad mood again.

As Joseph entered the luxurious room upstairs, James had already ordered the dishes.

Once Joseph was there, James stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Dawson."

Joseph motioned for him to sit and he walked to the seat in the middle.

James saw his bandaged hand and felt worried for him. He immediately filled a bowl of soup for him and said, "Have some soup to warm yourself. Is your hand alright?"

"It's fine." Joseph finished the bowl of soup and put it down.

James then helped him set up the dishes. Without saying anything, he looked down and started eating. He ate quickly as he was very hungry.

James had never seen him eat so hastily before. As he looked at Joseph, he wanted to say something to him, but he didn't know what to say.

After he was half-full, he put down his chopsticks. He turned to look at James and said, "Help me invite the Director of Urban Construction tonight. Hardy and Liam are going to build an amusement park, so I want to make it difficult for them."
