The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 230

Watching Lexis leave, Hardy looked at Paige and said, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" She forced a smile.

Looking in the direction where Sophia was standing, she realized that Sophia had already disappeared.

Instead of Sophia, a few more people took her place, which included Joseph, Paisley, Aiden, James, and some others. Without noticing it, everyone was crowded there.

Abbie quickly came over and grabbed Paige's arm, "Hey, Paige! What happened?"

"Abbie, I'll tell you about it later."

Paisley also came over, "Bro, what happened?"

"It's nothing, just a little accident though", Hardy didn't want to say more. After all, Lexis had just regarded Paige as an escort and he was about to harass her.

Hardy naturally wouldn't tell them the real story. Since he wasn't saying anything, Paisley didn't push further into it, "Thank God, it's all okay. Let's go back to the main hall!"

She was talking to Joseph, but he didn't reply. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and said, "You guys go first, I'll smoke a cigarette before I go in!"

His voice and expression were cold. Paige bit her lip and secretly glanced at him, but she immediately lowered her head.

She didn't know if Joseph saw what happened or not, but Joseph would stand up for her without hesitation in the past. Now, even when he knew that she was being bullied, he kept his cool. He must have moved on already.

Paige felt a dull pain in her heart as she was pulled away by Abbie.

Paisley was disappointed that Joseph wanted to smoke, but there was no reason to stop and wait for him, so she turned around to talk to Aiden, James, and Michael.

Soon, Aiden and Michael also left shortly after, leaving Joseph and James in the corridor.

Joseph glanced at James, "What happened just now?"

"When I came out, I saw Lexis holding Miss Anderson against her will. She slapped him, and then he started speaking rudely to her, and that's when Hardy came forward to stop him."

Joseph lit the cigarette in his hand and took a puff, "Why didn't you stop it?"

"Hardy came when I was about to stop him."

"Lexis Burtos.." Joseph paused for a moment and puffed out a smoke ring. A stern look flashed across his face, "Let Bobby cripple his hands!"

"Now?" James asked.

"Yes, right now! Immediately!" After saying this, Joseph threw the cigarette butt away and left.

James picked up his cell phone and called Bobby, "Joseph is very angry that Lexis harassed Miss Anderson. He wants you to cripple his hands. Right now!"

"Got it!" Bobby, who was in the parking lot, hung up the phone and glanced at the security camera in the parking lot. He grabbed a steel bat and got out immediately after he opened the door. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

As he walked, he nonchalantly smashed the cameras around him one after another.

Lexis, with a swollen face and aching feet, was kicked out of the cruise ship by Hardy.

He cursed loudly as he walked.

"D*mn it, who was that sh*tty woman! What the hell! Bad things happen to me every time I see her! The last time I was stripped naked, this time not only was I slapped in the face, but also kicked out of the cruise ship. How am I suppose to meet people in the future?"

"She better not come my way next time! I'll make her suffer if I see her again!"

While he was cursing, a figure flashed in front of him, and then he was punched in the face with a strong fist.

He let out a scream of terrible pain after getting hit on the face.

His vision went black. The next second, someone took hold of his hands and broke them as if they were mere tree branches.

Two cracks sounded loudly in his ears and both of Lexis' arms dangled, the pain of the broken bones was too much for him to bear.

He fainted and fell to the ground instantly.

Bobby kicked Lexis, who was lying on the ground unconsciously before he left unhurriedly.

Lexi’s scream echoed far. When the security guards on duty heard the voice, they immediately came over to check. When they saw him lying unconscious on the ground, they were shocked and hurriedly dialed 999.

The ambulance arrived with a roar. Bobby leaned against the car and looked at all the commotion with a sneer on his face.

Paige was dragged to the hall by Abbie and they found an unoccupied corner. Only then did she tell Abbie what had happened just now.

"Sophia is really shameless and vicious. She looked so skimpy in her dress. The men here would definitely think she is an escort. She deliberately pretends to be friendly with you just to make them think you guys are partners."

Abbie immediately understood, "That b*tch. How evil of her! I'll get revenge for you."

"No, I'll deal with her myself! I've always wanted to settle things peacefully, but now I know that does not work at all. I'll do to her what she did to me!"

"You should've done this a long time ago!" Abbie agreed.

"Wait a minute. Let's see where that shameless girl is now. I'll make a plan after I find her."

The two of them began to look for Sophia, but there was no sign of her in the hall.

"That's weird. Where did she hide? Did she escape?"

"No, she came here to hook up with a rich man. How could she leave so easily? I guess she was a little scared when she saw Hardy beat Lexis. So she may have gone to hide first."

Paige guessed, "The cruise ship is so big and it has dozens of floors. There's really no way to find her now."

"Then let's stop looking for her. She won't give up so easily. No one with high status will pay attention to her tonight, she can only entertain the ignorant and incompetent crowd. If we pay attention to people with those characteristics, then we might be able to find her."

As they were talking, Joseph walked in from outside with his hands in his pockets.

Instead of going to the crowded area, he went in their direction.

"Joseph is here. Aren't you going to talk to him about the card? Hurry up settle it while no one else is here", Abbie reminded her.

Abbie's words reminded Paige of the bank card. She immediately walked to Joseph and said, "I have

something to talk to you about." Joseph squinted at her and said, "Is it about my card? Give it to me then."

He reached out his hand, and Paige felt a little embarrassed, "I want to return the card to you, but I can't find it."

"You can't find it? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not joking. I'm telling the truth. I was drunk last night. When I got home, I didn't know where I threw the card. Abbie and I searched all over for it, but we couldn't find it."

"So?" Joseph asked casually.

"Anyway, that card is yours, and I didn't touch your money. Wouldn't it be okay if you report it missing to the bank?"

"Report it missing? Well! This is a good way, but Paige, are you sure you haven't touched the bank card?"

"Of course I didn't. Do you think I'm that shameless to use your money?" Joseph narrowed his eyes and sneered, "How noble of you to treat money like dirt! You're worthy of my respect then!"

He took his phone out of his pocket and opened it, "So how do you explain this text message sent by the bank?"
