The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 225

Paige closed her door and sat at the edge of her bed. She then picked up her phone and called Joseph again.

This time, he answered the call. His tone was very cold, "What's the matter?"

"Why didn't you answer the phone just now?" Paige was a little angry.

"I just didn't want to, do I still need other reasons?"

"Joseph, you are going too far!"

"If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up," Joseph was utterly annoyed.

"Pick a time and day, I want to return you your card!" Paige was furious.

"Didn't I tell you it's the breakup fee? Why are you acting so hypocritical?" Joseph said mockingly.

"I don't want your money! Even if I have to starve to death, I won't take it. Do you think money can do anything? You're such a bully!" Listening to Paige's sobbing voice, Joseph was silent for a moment. Paige faintly heard the sound of the car.

It proved that he was still outside. "Come over right now, I want to return it to you!"

"I never take back what I gave."

"I don't care, I won't take your stinky money even if I die!"

"Do you think it's too little? Why don't you just tell me how much you want?"

"You.." Paige trembled in anger. She felt that they weren't on the same page. "You're right! I think it's too little! I'll return you this one billion dollar bank card. You better give me ten billion dollars as a breakup fee."

"Haha!" He sneered. "You've finally shown your true colors. You want ten bilion dollars, right? I can give it to you tomorrow. I'm busy today."

Then, he hung up. Paige was furious, and the tears in her eyes were threatening to spill. He had agreed to give her ten billion dollars. Was he crazy or something?

"Joseph, you son of a b*tch. Even if you're rich, so what? What a shameless rich kid. Earn it yourself if you can. What's the point of using someone else's money as a breakup fee?"

"Are you trying to humiliate me with ten billion dollars? You better watch out. I will throw this card at your face!"

She took out the card from her purse and cursed while looking at it. She was so angry that she threw it on the ground and stomped on it. Finally, she staggered to the bathroom to take a bath.

Once she heard the tap turned on, Sophia tiptoed out from her hiding spot.

She heard what Paige said on the phone.

They had already broken up, and he even gave her a breakup fee worth one billion dollars. But how come she didn't accept this money?

Hearing this, Sophia was extremely jealous.

Why was Paige so lucky while she received a breakup fee like that?

Paige was such a fool. Why would she reject his money and return it to him? Was she crazy?

How good would it be if the money belonged to her? Seeing the card thrown on the ground, she immediately picked it up.

She was very short of money now. So she took the money and tried to see if she could get the money out. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Paige was a careless person. Since she threw it on the ground in a drunken state, she wouldn't remember what happened.

When she woke up the next day, she would be looking everywhere for it. And when she couldn't find it, she would tell Joseph about it.

When the time came, Joseph would definitely not believe her. And when they were at loggerheads with each other, she would have already taken the money inside.

Thinking to herself, she hid the card and tiptoed outside.

Liam was looking around nervously downstairs. When he saw Sophia walked out, he lowered his voice

and said. "She didn't see you, right?"

"No, she went to take a bath, so I sneaked out! Dad, I'll go back first. I don't want her seeing me later."

"Alright!"

Sophia took the card and left in a hurry. She did not know the password, so she went home. Once she returned, she told Isabella about it and showed her the card that contained one billion dollars. Isabella's eyes almost popped out of her sockets.

"Quick, give me your card. I'll call to ask if there is any way to unlock it and transfer the money."

Isabella immediately made a phone call. Once she hung up, her face was full of joy. "It can be unlocked. Someone will come over and transfer the money for us. If there really is money inside, we'll be rich!"

They waited for more than 40 minutes. Then, a man wearing a cap and sunglasses stood at their door. Isabella gave him the card and he left without a word.

Seeing Isabella give it to him without saying anything, she got worried. "Mom, why did you just give him the card like that? Aren't you scared that he might keep it for himself?"

"Don't worry! I'm not scared at all," Isabella closed the door and said. "He's more reliable than your father. I know it."

"Who is he? How come I have never seen him?" Sophia asked.

"He's just a friend," Isabella replied, but she was unwilling to say more. Sophia thought that it was weird and she was sure that Isabella was hiding something from her.

After the man left, Isabella and Sophia did not rest either. They sat on the sofa and waited for his news.

An hour later, he called them and said, "The password has been unlocked. I'll get someone to transfer the money immediately."

"Great!" Isabella was ecstatic, but also a little worried. "This is a big sum. Will we be suspected?"

"No, I'll make sure they transfer the money in batches. Just wait for my good news."

After he hung up, Sophia and Isabella could no longer hide their excitement.

It was one billion dollars!

It was not just a few hundred thousand dollars. If they really succeed in receiving the money, they would immediately become billionaires.

This must be what it meant to be rich overnight!

They were nervously waiting for the man to finish transferring, so they weren't sleepy at all.

In the presidential suite of Wolf Group Hotel, Joseph was about to go to sleep after his bath when someone knocked on his door.

He opened the door and saw James. "Mr. Dawson, the bank have just called to tell me that the one

billion dollars in your card had been transferred out in batches."

"Who would transfer so much money in the middle of the night?" Joseph was surprised when he heard the news.

Seeing how he didn't react, James continued, "This one billion dollars is from the card you gave Miss Anderson."

"Paige transferred the money?" Joseph could not believe it.

She just called to say that she was going to return it to him. In two hours, she was going to transfer it out?

Why would she do that in the middle of the night? That card was for her, so she didn't have to transfer it out if she wanted to use it.

"Where is the money transferred to?" Joseph asked immediately.

"There are about ten people's names. And they are all cards from abroad, so there is a delay. Besides, it is a huge sum, so the bank called to remind us of it."

"Tell the bank not to approve the transaction. Go and find out what is happening," Joseph instantly ordered James.

Even if Paige wanted to transfer money, she wouldn't transfer it abroad. Moreover, it was in the middle of the night.

Joseph guessed that the person who transferred the money wasn't Paige. But who could it be?

He had to find out the truth before letting the bank proceed with it. He wanted to see who was the mastermind behind it.
