The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 363

Compared with his subordinates, Liam had it the worst. Within a day, he had lost control of the company and its shares.

These executives could still start over from the beginning, but he was already so old. It was too late for him to start from zero.

Moreover, he knew very well how he got to his high status. If it weren't for Natalie giving him the opportunity and for his shameless plan to plot against her, he wouldn't have been able to achieve his current achievements no matter what.

So even if he had still been young, he would never have such an opportunity again.

Liam almost looked ten years older in an instant. He had not told Isabella and Sophia that he lost all of his shares with the company, and he no longer had any ties with it.

He was not a fool. He knew why they stuck with him. If they knew that he had no control over the company, they would definitely turn their backs on him.

Liam did not want to experience the feeling of being betrayed by his family, so he had to cover up the truth and keep it away from Isabella and Sophia.

Isabella and Sophia obviously didn't know about Liam's plan, but they knew Paige was now in control of the Anderson Group, and Liam's executives had been all fired!

He was now alone and helpless. In the beginning, they had intended to push Paige out of her position and find an opening to enter the Anderson Group.

However, that plan would not be happening any time soon, so the only thing they could do was take over the shares in Liam's possession.

Because of the mess Liam was in, he would definitely not save his shares for Paige.

Therefore, Sophia, Isabella, and the baby inside Isabella's stomach were the only people who could inherit the shares. However, Liam was cunning and as fit as a fiddle. He was not old enough to die either. His mind and plans were unpredictable.

They both felt that they had lost a lot this time. After all, they had gained nothing except a few beatings ever since they followed him.

Sophia was also afraid that he would change his mind and leave nothing for her in the future, giving everything to his son instead.

But Isabella was afraid of more things. She knew exactly whose child was in her belly. If he found out that the child was not his, he would definitely beat her to death.

As they were thinking about their own troubles, Liam was in a bad mood, and his hand ached badly. Nothing was going his way, and he kept cursing at Sophia.

"B*tch, it's all because of you! You are f*king evil for attacking my injured arm. Now I have to treat it for a long time, and it'll probably affect my businesses. You'll payback for this!" Knowing that she was in the wrong, she did not dare to make a sound. She lowered her head and let him scold her.

Liam was still angry after scolding her, so he raised his hand to hit her.

Isabella tried to stop and persuade him, "Liam! She didn't do it on purpose... She knows she's wrong, and you should calm down!"

While persuading him to calm down, she gave Sophia a wink as a signal to leave the room and avoid the situation. Taking the hint, Sophia left the ward.

She had nowhere to go, so she just sat on a bench in the hospital garden. She felt extremely frustrated.

She had planned on working her way to a high position in the Anderson group, and when the time came, the company would be Liam's, so he would be able to give her some shares. However, that didn't seem possible anymore.

Liam had a traditional mindset and prioritized sons more than daughters, so Sophia thought that the possibility of her getting a portion of the shares was close to zero.

Sophia had to find a new person to back her up. She thought about possible people who would help her and remembered Charles.

After being schemed by Paige to be with Charles that night, he didn't seem to hate her. When Ethan hit her, he even tried to stand up for her. It seemed that he was leaning towards her side.

If her assumptions were not wrong, she would be able to figure out a way to take advantage of Charles.

Back then, he was able to cheat and marry the woman he had an affair with, Elizabeth.

So, she thought that he could divorce Elizabeth and marry her.

She got excited at the thought of this.

Charles was the general manager of the Dawson Group. Although he was a little older, his wealth and power were still better than an average worker.

If she could get married to Charles, wouldn't she be able to crush Paige under her foot again?

If Paige really married the ignorant and incompetent Joseph, she would be forced to call her sister-in- law. Moreover, with Charles's ability, it should not take much effort to deal with Paige and Mr. Joseph, right?

The more she thought about it, the more excited she felt. She had to find another opportunity to get closer to Charles.

Joseph held another celebration dinner at the Wolf Group. It was still the same group of people from last night, but unlike last night, Michael was the first one to arrive, and Abbie was the last.

Abbie was different from before. She sat quietly by Paige's side and ate. Other than talking briefly with Paige when she came in, she did not say anything else.

After Paige woke up from her drunken sleep, she had already forgotten that she saw Abbie and Michael in the other room last night.

Seeing her eating quietly, Paige also felt strange. She reached out and poked her, "Why are you so quiet today?"

Abbie forced a smile. "I don't feel very comfortable." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"What's wrong with you?" Paige asked as she noticed the wound on Abbie's lips. "How did you injure your lips?"

'I was bitten by a dog," Abbie replied indifferently.

"I told you not to tease it all the time, but you didn't listen. Is everything okay now?" Abbie had a Pomeranian at home, and she would always tease it by dangling pieces of meat in front of it. Paige really believed that the dog had bitten her.

She asked with concern, "Did you take a rabies shot yet?"

"Yes!" Abbie nodded.

Aiden also believed that Abbie was bit by a dog, so he said, "Send that d*mn dog away. What's the point of keeping it? I'll ask someone to send it away tomorrow. Dogs who bite their owners should not be kept any longer!"

"Yes, I think so too. Dogs who bite their masters should not be kept any longer," Abbie looked at Michael as she spoke with a hint of ridicule in her words.

A trace of awkwardness flashed across his face. Last night, he was slapped in the face after trying to kiss her. He thought that she would let go of it, but now, she referred to him as a dog! How bold of her. He would get her to pay back for what she had said.

Joseph was observing the two of them as the conversation went on. Michael's speeches were the best in court, and no one could defend whatever he said. However, he was now extremely silent in the face of Abbie's insults.

Joseph smiled and added, "What's the point of giving it to someone? Isn't dog meat very delicious? It would be nice to have such a disobedient dog as soup!"
