The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 12

Joseph paused for a moment. Then, without any expression, he asked, "How much are you going to give me?"

"How about... three thousand dollars?" Paige knew that the rent of this apartment in this area would be tens of thousands of dollars, and three thousand dollars would certainly not be enough.

But now she really had no money. Her salary was a little more than 10,000 dollars. Except for the rent, she had to spend money on food and drink.

And she also owed 180,000 dollars to him, which was also a considerable debt. This sum of money, which used to mean nothing to her in the past, now became an astronomical number.

"A hero can be crushed with one dollar!"

"Well, you see, I only use the bathroom and bedroom. I don't need to use other places Can you give me discount?"

Joseph couldn't help laughing when he saw she try to lower the price with her sparkling eyes. So Joseph said, "Okay, but you have to do all the house chores!"

"Um.. um..." Paige had never done housework. It must be so hard to clean up and cook.

But what if she provoked him and then he got angry and let her go?

When she was hesitating at this moment, Joseph's phone rang. He picked it up and his bodyguard's voice came, "Young Master Joseph, Madam Elisa is here. She's asking when you'll arrive."

Joseph suddenly remembered that he still had something important to do and answered immediately, "I’ll be right there."

Paige stood at the side, hearing the phone call of Joseph and the bodyguards clearly. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

He was just a gigolo. How could he been called Young Master Joseph? and who was the Madam Elisa?

Was there a foreign woman among the customers of the gigolos? Could this Madam Elisa be an old woman in her fifties or sixties?

She thought about it and Joseph and hung up the phone, "What do you think? Is it a good idea to do household chores to offset the rent?"

"Okay! But I have to say first that I am not very proficient in household chores."

"You can learn it." Joseph said with a faint smile, "I have something to do, so I have to go first. This is the apartment code. Suit yourself!"

Seeing Joseph turn around and leave, Paige lost in thought again.

She was penniless now. She had to buy some daily necessities. Paige made up her mind to stop Joseph from leaving.

"Well, Young Master Joseph, can you lend me some more money? I have to buy some daily

necessities. Just one thousand dollars is enough for me."

"Sure." Joseph was surprised that she had called him Young Master Joseph.

He was still considering how to make up a name for himself. Since she called him Young Master Joseph, he could just let her call him like this.

Joseph transferred 10,000 dollars to Paige on Wechat and left with large strides. Paige Tet out a sigh of relief.

She began to plan what she was going to buy, such as toothpaste and toothbrush, washing face and skin care products, as well as some other products.

After a few rounds, it seemed that 10,000 dollars was not enough. No, she couldn't blow money.

Her family's things were ready, and Liam did not say that he would not let her pack up.

It was better to go home and pack up her clothes bag and daily necessities. In this way, she could save a lot of money.

Paige did as she said. She decided to immediately go home and pack up her things and move them over.

In the hospital, after Liam left, only Sophia and her mother were there.

Without anyone else, Sophia lowered her voice, "Mom, my dad just went to find Paige and asked her to apologize, but she refused. Now my dad has driven her out of the Anderson family."

"Really? That's great!" Isabella sneered, "Didn't I say that Paige was stupid? We'll be able to move into the Anderson family soon."

"But I'm still a little worried. After all, your father and Paige have been father and daughter for so many years. If Paige admit her fault to your father, your father will definitely be softhearted and let her move back again."

"You're right, we really have to consider this issue," Isabella thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes became fierce, "He who is narrow-minded can't be a nobleman and a real man must be ruthless. Otherwise, why don't we…"

Isabella did not finish her words, but she made a beheading gesture.

"Isn't it too dangerous?" Sophia knew that Isabella meant to kill Paige.

She wanted Paige dead, but it was too risky to kill her. Paige was not a nobody.

"If the police find out, will we be implicated?"

"This is a good opportunity for us. Your dad slapped her and threw her out. Isn't it reasonable for her to commit suicide?" Isabella's face was full of coldness and hatred.

"You're right. It is indeed a good opportunity. It's now or never. We have to act as soon as possible, but it's just the killer..."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it!"

Paige got out of Lake View Nest and took a taxi back to the Anderson family to pack up her things. There was only her aunt at home, and Liam had not returned.

When she saw Paige coming back, her aunt came up to her with a smile and said, "Miss, you are back!"

"Mmm!" Paige answered and hurried upstairs. The aunt followed her and said, "What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll prepare it."

"I'm not going to have dinner. I'm came back to pack things up."

After seeing Paige enter her room, the aunt turned and went downstairs to secretly make a phone call, "Miss Anderson is back. She's packing up upstairs."

Paige did not know this episode. She had packed up three large suitcases with clothes and daily necessities in her own room. The auntie came up to help her, "Ms Anderson, are you going on a business trip?"

"Mm." Paige didn't want to say anything more. Being expelled from home by Liam wasn't something to be proud of.

"I'll help you." The aunt carried the three suitcases out of the door. She didn't go back to the villa until she saw Paige get on the taxi.

The taxi stopped at the downstairs of Lake View Nest. Paige dragged the three suitcases into the elevator and then moved them into the apartment. She was so exhausted.

She sat on the sofa and panted for a while.

Her stomach was growling.

She hadn't eaten anything from morning till now. No wonder her stomach was growling.

At first, Paige wanted to order a takeout, but now she was in debt, so it was better to save some money.

So she put aside the idea. After all, if she had to live independently, she should learn how to cook. So she started with the simplest dishes--noodles.

Paige decided to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, so she took her mobile phone with her when she went out of the apartment.

She was not familiar with the neighbourhood of the apartment, so she sent a message to Joseph, "Is there any place to buy food near your apartment?"

But there was no reply. He must be busy serving the rich woman and he didn't have time to read her text message, did he?

Paige walked out of the elevator with her head shaking and went straight to the outside of the apartment. She walked along the road while searching the nearest supermarket with her mobile phone.

The nearest supermarket was three kilometers away from where she was. It would definitely take a long time to get there, so she had better call a car.

When she was contemplating, a car suddenly coming over. The driver of the car put down the window and warmly asked Paige, "Take a taxi?"

Paige was overjoyed, "Yes!"

She opened the door and got in the car.

Suddenly, she found that there was actually a person sitting in the car. Amid the faint lights, she didn't notice the person in black in the car at all.

Was it car-pooling?

While Paige was thinking, the person sitting there suddenly reached out and covered her mouth.

Shocked by this accident, Paige struggled desperately.

But the man was very strong, and she couldn't break free at all.

The man covered her mouth with his hand on which was applied something with a strange smell, and Paige felt that her consciousness was getting fainter and fainter.

Soon, she lost consciousness!
