The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 82

When the interrogator arrived, Sophia had already peed in her pants. Seeing this, the interrogator scolded her loudly.

"What's wrong with you? Are you crazy? Why didn't you call me if you needed the washroom? How embarrassing!"

"I.. I've called you, but no one heard me", Sophia said in shame and anger.

"What are you crying for! Stop that and tell me everything if you want to leave this place. Or else you can just stay here!"

The interrogator spoke to Sophia harshly. "You had better not think that you will be lucky enough to escape this! We all know what you've done, so you'd better start talking. Or else, we'll just send you to jail with the evidence we have now."

Sophia did not answer and she continued crying. Seeing that she was not going to talk soon, the interrogator ignored her and left.

Sitting in the interrogation room with her pants soaked, Sophia felt utterly disgusted and uncomfortable.

Ethan, who was in the room next to her, started shouting when he heard Sophia cry.

The interrogator opened his door and asked.

"Are you going to pee in your pants too?"

"What?"

"The suspect who was with you peed her pants. I hope you won't be like that! What a disgusting pair." Ethan's face froze when he heard that Sophia had wet her pants. That was so disgusting.

In the Dawson family, Elizabeth had returned home and told Charles what had happened. She even told him that they could not bail Ethan out because the police had evidence of him. Enraged with the news, Charles poured his tea on Elizabeth.

"What have you been doing? Didn't I just tell you to be careful in the afternoon? Didn't you take my words seriously?"

With her face dripping with tea leaves, Elizabeth said, "Valerie was just too cunning. Ethan never expected this to happen!"

"He can't even handle a woman? That is such an embarrassment!" Charles boomed and immediately took out his phone.

"Director Baker, I would like to find out about something," Charles said with a completely different demeanor.

"Mr. Dawson, I know what you're going to ask. Since we're on good terms. I'm just going to be honest with you. The other party indeed has concrete evidence against your son, so there's nothing I can do to help you in this."

"Is that so?" Charles didn't expect to be rejected.

"Mr. Dawson, it's better for you to contact them yourself. Or else he'll really have to go jail. I believe you know that Michael has his way of words that could make people believe in all that he says."

"Alright then. Thank you for reminding me, Director Baker." After hanging up, Charles looked at Elizabeth and said, "Let Ethan get ready to go to jail!"

"Honey, you can't just wash your hands off this! Ethan is still so young! How could he go to jail! You have to help him!"

"Help? Are you going to pay 500 million dollars for him?" Charles looked at Elizabeth coldly and said, "The company doesn't belong to me alone. Dad, George, Philip, and Joseph are watching my every step. Do you expect me to gauge out such a hefty sum?"

"Uhm..." Elizabeth was in distress. After all, 500 million dollars was all she had.

"Hubby, why don't you ask Liam for help? He could probably pull some strings."

"Do you think it will work?" Charles looked at Elizabeth sarcastically.

"It's worth a try! Please, hubby, I'm begging you! Ethan is the only person closest to me! I've gone through thick and thin and done all I could for you! It's your turn to do the same for me!"

Seeing how Elizabeth had let herself stoop so low to plead him, Charles became silent. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He then thought about everything Elizabeth had done for him in the past.

He finally sighed and said, "I won't go to Liam for such a disgraceful thing. You can talk to him yourself! Let's be sure about one thing, I am not going to pay for the 500 million dollars. Also, I won't let Ethan take any important roles in the company. One more thing, you'd better fire Sophia right away!"

Elizabeth could tell that Charles had allowed her to ask Liam for help. Elizabeth sighed in relief. All she could do now was relied on him and hoped that he could convince Paige to drop her charges.

Paige didn't know that so much had happened within just one night. When she woke up, Joseph was still laying in her bed.

They snuggled and kissed in bed for a while until the phone rang. Checking the phone, Paige saw that it was Abbie. "Paige, my brother said that they have found evidence. Furthermore, Michael had agreed to be your lawyer. He might contact you soon."

"Really?" Paige couldn't believe it.

"Why would I lie to you? My brother said that you have to give me a designer handbag if you earn a lot from this lawsuit!"

"No problem!" Paige's face was full of disbelief when she hung up the phone.

"Aiden has found evidence, and he had even asked Michael Davis to be my lawyer. Do you know who he is?

"No, I don't." Joseph shook his head and said.

"He is the dark knight of Wolf Group. I've heard that he has a good relationship with their president.

Besides, he has never lost a single lawsuit. So I think I will definitely win this."

"Congratulations!" Seeing how happy Paige was, Joseph couldn't help but feel happy too.

"I really have to thank Abbie for this. She really is a good friend. And her brother, of course, I admire him so much!"

Joseph narrowed his eyes when he heard that she "admired" Aiden. Of course he wouldn't be happy hearing his woman gushing about another man.

Paige didn’t notice the change in Josephs mood and continued saying, "When this is over, I have to personally thank him for his help!"

"How are you going to thank him?"

"I could treat him to a meal, or get him a gift."

"What do men like? Do they prefer watches or bags?"

When he heard that Paige was going to give Aiden a gift, Joseph was even more annoyed. Truthfully, Aiden had not done anything. It was Joseph who had helped her.

Why should Aiden get to enjoy her gifts?

"I don't think it's suitable to give another man gifts if you already have a boyfriend."

"Does it matter? I'm not even doing it secretly. Aren't I telling you now?" Paige explained hastily when

she caught a hint of jealousy in his tone.

"You can't! You've never given me a gift before and now you're giving it to another man?"

"Hey, that's not true! I bought many clothes for you, didn't I? Besides, I am yours. You can just take anything you like from me.

Paige raised her head and gave him a few kisses.

"Come on, there's nothing to be jealous about. You should be more magnanimous. Besides, if it weren't for Aiden, I could have been in big trouble. You're the only one in my heart." These words made Joseph feel at ease.

Feeling pleased with her words, Joseph hugged her and kissed her deeply. Just as they were about to go further, Paige's phone rang. It was Michael Davis.

"Hello, this is Michael Davis. Miss. Anderson, Mr. Cook has asked me to be your attorney, so we should meet." Michael said with a strict tone.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up, Paige got up cheerfully. "Hooray! Michael called me and I'm going to meet him now!"

"I'll send you there!"

After Joseph dropped her off, Joseph returned and called Aiden.

Aiden answered lazily, "Is anything the matter? Why are you calling me this early?"

"I'll make this short. Firstly, if Paige wants to treat you to a meal, don't agree to it. Secondly, if she gives you a gift, don't accept it."

"Oh my god, Joseph. Do you have to be so overbearing? Why can't I have a meal with her or accept her gifts? I have helped her too."

"Shut up! You've done nothing much! How can you take credit for it? And you had better not act up in front of Paige. If I hear her complimenting you again, I will kill you."

"Joseph, I didn't know you could be so jealous! You were the one who asked me for help! If you're going to be like this, I can't be friends with you."

Ignoring Aiden's whining, Joseph hung up and went to the hospital.
