Chapter 367
Paige was not moved at the sight of Liam crying. She stepped back and said, "Dad, what exactly are your intentions? Do you just want me to forgive you?"
"Yes, Paige. After I fell ill, I realized how evil my actions were towards you…"
"I know, but it doesn't matter anymore. I don't blame you, and I forgive you. Do you have anything else to say?" She interrupted him.
"Paige, I did those things because of Isabella and Sophia's manipulation... I regret it a lot now. If they found out that I don't have any more shares in the company, they would definitely leave me."
"Dad, you still have money even if you don't have shares, right?" She laughed sarcastically. "Didn't you sell all the shares of the company? The money you got would probably last you a lifetime."
Liam's face flushed, but Paige didn't seem to care at all. "Fortunately, I had the money to escape from your plans. Otherwise, Dad, you would have been overjoyed at the news of the drop in stock value, right?"
"I don't... I don't have that kind of ill intention. It's just..."
"Dad, I don't care about what you're thinking. Just know that it's best for you to have a good rest to take care of your health right now. After all, you can't manage a company in the state you are currently in. I think it's a wise decision for me to take over the company. Otherwise, it might change its name to the Martin Group under your control."
She did not give him the chance to pull the 'family' card on her. "You have so much cash in your hands
anyway. It'll last you a lifetime, and you can even travel around the world with Ms. Martin! You can also bring your beloved daughter and newborn son along... How nice!"
After listening to her suggestion, he knew that using family affection as an excuse was useless against her.
He angrily pointed at her with his uninjured finger and said, "You're so disobedient! Karma will get you for doing this to me!"
"You're angry? Dad, you really suck at putting on an act... If you managed to keep it up for more than ten minutes, I might've believed that you were actually regretful. I'm super soft-hearted, and it heavily affects my decisions, so I might have agreed to let you go back to the company. But... you dropped the act so quickly... I think you should take lessons from Ms. Martin and Sophia." Paige uncrossed her arms and laughed sarcastically. "Well, since you're fine, I'll leave then!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Liam was so angry that he pushed everything off the table next to his bed.
Then, Isabella rushed into the ward and said, "Liam, don't get angry. It's not worth it!"
"How can I not be mad?" He widened his eyes. He thought that he had seen through Paige's thoughts and was hoping for a reversal, but he did not expect her to have seen through his plans since the beginning.
At the thought of her enjoying his subpar act and her mocking words, Liam could not control the rising
temper in him.
Seeing that he was extremely angry, Isabella was also pissed. How dare Paige talk to her like that just now!
Did Paige know that Isabella had an affair, or did she just mention it casually? Whether or not Paige knew about her scandal, she wouldn't let her off so easily.
She said maliciously, "Actually, you don't have to be so angry. Isn't there another way to deal with her? It's the best and the safest way too."
"What is it?" He asked.
"Isn't it best for her to die? You haven't cut ties with her yet, and only you know that she is not your legitimate daughter. In this case, let's find a way to kill her! If she disappears, you can officially take over the company again. If that happens, no one will try to take your property away from you anymore!"
"This... If we don't handle it well, it will kill us!" He didn't expect Isabella to be so cruel as to plot murder against Paige.
"Liam, I'm not being cruel. Think about what happened last time. Do you think she changed after she found out about what happened in the past? If Paige were to know that Natalie passed away out of her anger for us, we'll be dead meat!" Liam's expression changed when Isabella mentioned Natalie's death.
Then, Isabella continued to persuade him.
"Let me tell you something. Paige isn't alone now. She has a lot of help around her. Lamont and Mr.
Dawson are among the many that are helping her! It's not easy for us to deal with them."
"They must have weaknesses. I don't believe that they will keep such a tight watch on her!"
Isabella was determined to kill Paige. "As long as we're determined, we will definitely find an opening. Besides, since Lamont has already appeared, we'll be the unlucky ones if you don't take action now."
Liam thought for a while and agreed. It was now or never. "Alright, I'll try to plan something. I just can't find a suitable candidate to do it."
"I have someone who can help."
"You have someone? Who? From where?" Liam asked.
"Sophia knows two people who have a grudge against Paige. She said that these two people were attracted to her good looks at a bar, and they wanted to hit on her, but they were beaten up by Mr. Dawson's men. They have been waiting a long time for an opportunity to take revenge."
When Isabella realized that Liam had given in to her plan, she didn't care about the consequences anymore and immediately thought of the two gangsters she had hired to kill Paige in the past.
Liam sneered when he heard her say this.
Isabella was indeed a vicious woman. Since she was willing to plan it, he would leave it to her.
"Very well. Go ahead and make the arrangements then! As long as you get rid of her, I won't mistreat you or the child in your belly." He said with a smile.
After Paige left the ward and returned to the car, Joseph looked at her and said, "You're done already? Tell me about it!"
"Yeah... I couldn't be bothered to watch his act any longer. At first, he cried and complained to me, but I told him the truth very bluntly. Then, he became ashamed and cursed at me angrily, so I left."
"You just can't control your temper, can you?"
He sighed as he patted her head. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"You messed up my hair!" Paige pushed his hand away. "Judging from his facial expression when I left just now, he will definitely find a way to deal with me."
"That's for sure! Don't worry. If he does, I'll make him regret his decision." She felt confident after hearing his words.
Suddenly, she remembered what happened with Isabella in the ward. "Joseph, there's something wrong with Isabella."
"Really? Why do you say so?"
"Wasn't she quite intimate with another man other than my dad? I provoked her on purpose and said that the child in her belly was not my dad's, but she avoided my eyes and didn't dare to fight back. It was a completely abnormal reaction! If she was not guilty, how could she allow me to say that to her?"
"Yes, your analysis is correct. There is indeed something wrong with her. I'm guessing that not only the child in her belly isn't Liam's, but Sophia isn't his real daughter!"
