The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 354

In the nightclub, Paige was on cloud nine.

After drinking too much, she staggered while walking to the bathroom. When she was going back to the private room, one of the other doors opened.

Michael cupped his face as he came out with a smile. Because he was cupping his face, Paige paid extra attention to his cheeks.

His cheeks were red, and she wondered, "What's going on? Did someone hit him?"

"How could he still smile after getting hit? He's too drunk!"

Paige was puzzled. Then, she saw Abbie coming out of the room with messy hair and crumpled clothes.

Paige was dizzy after drinking so much. "Abbie, what are you doing here?"

A trace of awkwardness flashed across her face at the question. "I... I came out for a walk."

"For a walk? I just saw Michael coming out from here too! Was he also taking a walk?" Abbie's face was as red as a tomato. She knew that Paige was drunk after she nonchalantly asked her questions like that.

"You saw wrong!"

"Hey! Why are your lips swollen?" Paige got closer to Abbie and asked, "Did you get bitten?"

"I accidentally bit myself just now." Abbie looked more and more unnatural, but Paige, who was drunk, didn't give it much thought.

"How could you be so careless to bite yourself! Let's go back and have a drink!"

Abbie shook her head and rejected, "I have some stuff to attend to so I'll go home first."

"What's that?"

"Some personal stuff. I will look for you tomorrow," Abbie said as she left in a hurry.

Paige stared at her back for a while before staggering back to the private room. Joseph came out of the door to help her.

"I told you not to drink anymore, but you didn't listen. Now you're so drunk! You're even staggering when you walk."

"Who said I drank too much? I didn't drink too much. I can actually still drink... two more bottles!"

"Wow, how amazing! I know you can. You can still drink a whole crate!" Joseph held her and retorted in anger and amusement.

"Let's go home. Don't go in!"

"Is there anyone else in there? What would they think of me if the host leaves first?" She refused to

leave.

"James is in the room attending to the guests. Don't worry, we're all friends." He held her in his arms and took her out of the nightclub.

Outside, Bobby immediately drove the car to the entrance. Joseph helped Paige get in the car, and then he got in himself.

Paige put her head on his lap and muttered, "Joseph, I saw Abbie and Michael come out of another room. Abbie said that she came out for a walk. Why did she go to another room for a walk?"

"Really? Maybe her other friends were in that room," Joseph agreed with her.

"But I saw that her lips were swollen, and she said she bit it herself. Michael looked like he had been hit too! Half of his face was covered with handprints."

Upon hearing this, Joseph immediately understood what happened. Michael must have done something to Abbie. "You're really sharp with your observations!"

"Yes, I have good eyesight!" Paige was proud. "Listen, I suspect that Abbie didn't bite her lips. She must have accidentally kissed someone in that room."

Paige was different when she was drunk.

She looked cute. Joseph held back his laughter and asked, "How did you know?"

"I know from my personal experience! The last time you kissed me, you also bit my lip. I remember it

very clearly."

Joseph held his forehead, and he looked at Bobby, who was driving before saying, "Don't spout nonsense."

"This isn't nonsense! You bit my lip, don't deny it! If you don't admit it, I won't let you kiss me next time!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Okay, I admit it!" Joseph found it amusing.

"So Abbie really kissed someone? Who kissed her? I am so curious! I feel that no one is good enough for her. She is so pretty! I have to see if that person is worthy of being with her... I can't let her be taken advantage of!"

After she said that, she suddenly remembered something. "I don't know if Aiden knows about this or not. I think I have to tell him. He's a better judge than I am when it comes to reading people." Joseph was shocked when he heard this, so he immediately said, "Please don't tell Aiden about this."

"Why?"

"No reason, listen to me. You can't tell Aiden about it. You can only tell me! If you do, then Abbie and Michael will suffer."

"It's just a relationship. Why should they suffer? Besides that, what does Michael have to do with this?" It was hard to reason with drunk people.

Joseph gently patted her and said, "Sleep for a while. I'll tell you when you wake up!"

Paige closed her eyes obediently as he continued to pat her gently. When he saw her sleeping soundly, he picked up his phone and sent Michael a message.

"Starting from now, you'll be my wife's lawyer for free for three years.”

"Are you crazy? Why should I?" Michael shorted.

"Because we know that you kissed Abbie in the private room!"

Michael replied with, "F*ck!"

Joseph smirked and replied, "Can you send me a proper reply? If you can't, I'll tell Aiden about it right away and let him skin you alive!"

Michael was so angry that he sent a whole paragraph of words.

"Joseph, you f*cker, you've gone too far. You coerced me to be your lawyer for free for three years just because of some stupid thing. I didn't charge a penny. Now, you want to force me to be your wife's lawyer for free. Who do you think I am?"

"I'm telling you, this for your own good. It won't be a waste if you become my wife's lawyer for free! She and Abbie are best friends. If you make her happy, she will speak up for you in front of her. Wouldn't it be much easier for you to get what you want? Your lawyer work can serve as payment for my wife's cupid work."

"Let me think about it!"

"What else do you need to think about? I'm telling you, my wife said that she's going to tell Aiden, so you'd better give me a quick answer. Otherwise, it'll be too late when my wife tells him about it tomorrow!"

Michael was silent for a long while. "Okay, you said so! She'll be my cupid?"

"As I said, a man of honor never goes back on his words."

"It's a deal!"

After Paige and Joseph left, the rest of the people in the nightclub room also dispersed.

Aiden followed Lamont and Braelynn till they were outside, and he even took the initiative to ask, "Do you need me to send you off?"

"No, thank you, Mr. Cook!" Lamont thanked him politely.

Aiden did not persist either. He looked at Braelynn and said, "Ms. Saunders, you will help Paige manage the company, so we will meet more often in the future. For future convenience, let's be friends on WhatsApp."

Braelynn hesitated obviously and said, "Well... that's fine."

After adding her on WhatsApp, he got into his own car and texted Joseph, "Is Braelynn Saunders really Lamont's daughter? Why do I think that she kind of looks like Paige?"
