The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 71

Joseph did not go back to Lake View Nest this night. Paige woke up in the morning, saw nothing around her, and thought Joseph had not come home again.

"Does James have to call Joseph in the middle of the night to tell him to go to work?"

"And Bob never comes back after being called away at night. They are not doing things Rated-R, are they?" Paige was stunned when she imagined James pulling Joseph to the bed. She became more and more suspicious of their relationship.

"But, given Bob's strength, he shouldn't have been pulled down by James."

"Besides, he always looks like that he's not getting enough of me, it doesn't make sense that he is bisexual. Furthermore, even if they have an affair, they won't be so blatant."

"Enough daytime for them to hook up, why bother to take the night?"

"So I must be out of my mind." But Paige still felt uneasy. She had to get back to work immediately. Work and money could make her build confidence in front of her man.

Paige decided to start her new job immediately. She had to go to the Dawson family today to complete the resignation procedures.

Paige rushed out of the house with her bag and headed towards the Dawson company.

She, however, received a call from the Legal Affairs of the Dawson family when she was downstairs. "Paige, please come to the company immediately. We have a case of plagiarizing here, and you need

to come and explain it immediately."

"Plagiarizing? Who plagiarizing what?"

"It's the villa that you were responsible for designing last time. Now someone accuses you of plagiarizing her ideas."

"Are you sure?" She said. "How is this possible? This is too ridiculous. I completed the villa's design all by myself." She was very clear about whether she had copied other's design or not.

Paige's anger was rising to its breaking point. A designer feared nothing more than getting involved in such things. But she got a clear conscience as a sure card and she would like to find out the one who was picking on her.

Paige drove over to the Dawson company.

Along the way, the old colleagues all looked at her with weird looks, and she angrily went to the Legal Affairs.

The people there threw her a lawyer's letter, claiming it had been sent by the designer who had accused her of plagiarism and claiming she was demanding an apology and damages.

The people in Legal Affairs was with poor attitude, "Miss Anderson, it won't be a small problem if it's true that you are involved with some kind of plagiarism. The Dawson will also hold you accountable for the loss then."

"I didn't plagiarize anything." She said angrily, "I completed the design draft on my own"

"So why do they have the design draft? Check out the date. They released it on the seventh night, but your design was handed over to the company on the eighth. How do you explain it?"

On the night of the seventh? Paige was stunned for a moment because her design was completed on the seventh night.

She recalled how excited she was that day, after the design was finished, to celebrate with Sophia. She drank a lot that night. "So Sophia stole the design draft to set me up?" She thought.

In such case, she really got nothing to explain.

Seeing that Paige's face changed, the people in the office sneered, "You still have time to find evidence, if you don't find evidence, I'm sorry, our company will not let you go!"

She returned to the car only to find that her phone had already started to push the news of her plagiarism.

Paige didn't expect problems within the company to spread so quickly.

"What to do now?"

"Sophia and Ethan were the only people who saw my design when I was working on it, and I had to be suspicious of those two."

"D*mn f*cking shameless shit. B*tch and son of the b*tch!" I

Paige knew that it was very difficult for her to prove her innocence now. Sophia and Ethan must have planned everything behind this.

Paige sat in the car and tried to cast her minds back to things that could help her, but nothing showed up.

In the meantime, a growing heat of the news on her plagiarizing the design was going on.

"F*cking a*shole. They want me to die? If I get a reputation as a copycat designer, my life will be ruined."

"What should I do? What to do now?" Paige was distracted when the phone rang and the company she was applying to rejected her application.

Later, Liam also called Paige and yelled at her, "You make trouble all the time. Well, now you've been caught plagiarizing. You could have not done the stupid thing! Haven't you embarrassed me enough?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Lately, Liam had become more and more fond of scolding her, which had become an almost indispensable pleasure for him.

Paige held back her anger and hung up the call. She couldn't just stand still and do nothing, and she had to search for evidence.

It occurred to her that her home computer had stored her designs and she would go home and look at them.

Paige immediately drove back home, got out of the car and entered the villa. But she found that her fingerprints could not unlock the door when she tried to open it.

And the password had been changed, "What does Liam want to do by deleting my fingerprints and changing the password?"

"Never see me back again, ha?" Angry and sad, she rang the doorbell.

It was Julie who came to the door in the pajamas. She smiled with a fake smile, "Paige, happy to see you back!"

Paige just left Julie alone and strode into the living room and went straight upstairs to the study, and only to find that her computer was no more there when she pushed the door of the study open.

"Who took my computer?" Paige immediately called Liam, who answered the phone with curse words.

"D*n it, who just hang up the phone so rudely? Why are you calling back now?"

"Where is the computer in my study?" Paige asked.

"I threw it away!"

"Why?"

"Never saw you use it since you bought it. Why didn't I?" Liam didn't see anything wrong about it.

"This is my stuff! Why did you throw it? Dad, you've gone too far!" Paige was shaking with anger.

"This is my house. So what then?" Paige was devastated by Liam's unapologetic questioning. She had to fight back tears of anger, "Are you even a father? How can you be so cruel to me?"

"I want say the same to you. I gave birth to you and raised you, but you gave me your disobedience and ungrateful conduct. How could I raise a daughter like you?"

Liam did not see that he had done anything wrong, "'Look, your name is tarnished. Listen, as long as you come back and tell me you were wrong, I'll take care of it for you. Otherwise, don't blame me."

"Helping me handle the aftermath? It sounds too good to be true."

"Of course, there's a condition for me to help you clean up the mess. Break up with that chauffeur right now and do whatever I ask you to do in the future, then I'll go to the Dawson family to talk them into not suing you. Or you can just handle this all by yourself."

"Just have them make me end in prison!" Paige shouted and hung up the phone.

She hurried downstairs. Julie came over with a synthetic friendliness, "What's wrong, Paige?"

"Why are you here? Who make you here?" Paige glared at Julie.

"Your dear father does. Have you any idea that we are going to get married soon? And this is my home from now on."
