The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 231

Paige looked at the screen in his hand that showed a long list of money transfer records, "What is this?" She asked in confusion.

"The bank sent this to me last night. It tells me that all the funds in the bank card have been transferred out."

"How is this possible?" Paige was shocked.

"I also think it's strange though. Didn't you call me last night to say that you would return my card? How could you transfer the money out? I thought it was a mistake, but now you're saying that you lost the card. How can it be so coincidental?"

"Uh... I really can't find the card. Did someone... But how is this possible?" Paige did not understand what was going on.

She remembered that the card was in her bag when she arrived home. Although she threw the card angrily at that time, there were no outsiders at home. Liam did not enter her room either. How could the card be taken away and later used in a fund transfer?

"Do you think it's a mistake?"

"A mistake? I hope so! Paige, you wouldn't be so shameless, would you?" Joseph said with a sneer.

"What do you mean?" Paige was a little irritated.

Did Joseph suspect that she transferred the money?

Just as she was thinking about this, Joseph lowered his head and looked at her, "Tell me, you're not trying to cover up for yourself here, are you?"

"Of course not! Why would I do that?"

"If it wasn't done by you, well, I believe you. Give me the card then."

"I don't have the card! I couldn't find it!"

"Then why did you say you are going to give it back to me? Were you just saying it for the sake of it? That was your breakup compensation money. You can take it. You don't have to pretend. I won't hold it against you anyway."

"Joseph, I didn't take your money! I don't even care..."

"You don't care about giving the card back to me?" Joseph looked at her with a sly expression.

"I promised you last night. Give me the card, and then I'll consider giving you ten billion dollars."

"You!"

There was a faint smile on Joseph's face. His tone was casual, and it was clear that he was mocking and despising here.

That caused Paige to feel infuriated.

"I swear I really lost the card. I didn't transfer any money."

"Then who transferred it? Huh?"

Paige was speechless as he took a step closer. She could feel his warm breath on her face, "I didn't know you are this kind of person!"

This obviously meant that he assumed she had transferred the money. Paige was so angry that she reached out and shoved Joseph away, "You b*stard, don't you know me?"

"I don't! Tell me who you are." Joseph lowered his head and looked at her.

"I…" Paige became increasingly ashamed and angry as they continued to argue.

Abbie who stood not far away felt a little strange because they were taking so long.

"It's just a card, isn't it? What's the point of dragging the conversation for so long?" Could it be that Joseph flirted with Paige again?

She went over quickly to their side and saw Joseph looking down at Paige with an unreadable expression that resembled a smile, while Paige's face was flushed with a look of bewilderment.

Was Paige being seduced by Joseph's sex appeal again? Abbie strode over in anger and grabbed her hand, "Paige!"

"Abbie!" Seeing Abbie, Paige's face turned red, "The money in my card has been transferred away by

someone!"

"What? How is this possible? Joseph, are you up to no good again?" Abbie immediately thought that this was his doing.

"Miss Cook, I don't understand what you are talking about. What the hell can I do?"

"You made a copy of your card and then transferred the money out to set her up!"

"Miss Cook, your mind is amazing. What benefit do I get from setting her up like this?" Joseph sneered. "Do you think I have nothing else better to do than this?"

"I..." Abbie couldn't find a reason either.

Joseph openly gave the money to her and he never asked for it back. There was no reason for him to ask someone to transfer the money away.

Joseph narrowed his eyes and snorted, "The money is for the breakup compensation. I gave it to you openly, so you can just accept it openly. Why did you do this? To show that you're righteous?"

"How can you say that?" Abbie was extremely angry.

Paige was also extremely angry. However, apart from saying that she had not transferred the money, she really had no other evidence. Joseph had stated that he did not believe her, and she had nothing to support her words.

In the midst of this mess, Paisley came over and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

Upon seeing Paisley, Joseph stopped grinning and replied seriously, "We were talking about the news that's happening lately."

"Is that so?" Paisley did not quite convinced.

Her gaze lingered on Paige for a moment.

She had clearly seen Joseph and Paige were talking alone on the other side. They looked quite intimate while talking, and Abbie had only come over later.

Paige looked gorgeous. Could Joseph have taken interest in her?

Paisley's heart was filled with inexplicable hostility against Paige. She could no longer be reserved and had to take the initiative.

She thought about that and immediately moved closer to Joseph. She looked at him lovingly, and her voice was as gentle as it could be.

"The dance is about to begin. Let's go!"

Seeing Paisley's affectionate expression as she looked at Joseph, Paige felt as if her heart was being torn into pieces. She did not want to look at them flirting.

She grabbed Abbie's hand and left.

Meanwhile, Joseph looked at Paige with a gloomy expression. He remained his smile and said, "Okay!"

Seeing the gentle expression on Joseph's face, Paisley's heart was filled with joy.

However, she did not notice the change in his eyes as the two of them left to the dance floor together.

The evening party was specially held for Paisley by Hardy. She had been abroad for many years and she rarely returned to the mainland, so this was her welcome party.

Since it was prepared for her, she was the center of attention.

Seeing Paisley and Joseph walking towards the dance floor, everyone turned to look at them.

Paisley was very beautiful, and Joseph was also famous for his good looks. They looked so good standing on the dancing floor together. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Paisley smiled at Joseph and offered her hand, "Mr. Dawson! May I invite you to dance with me?"

With so many people staring at him, he found it hard to refuse, so he accepted her invitation. Paisley arched her eyebrows and put her hand on Joseph's shoulder. The two of them then slow danced to the music.

Paisley had always been famous for dancing. She had won an international prize when she danced, so one could imagine how solid her foundation was.

Joseph, on the other hand, was a famous playboy. Everyone knew that he liked many women, and changing women to him was like his routine. However, no one knew that he could dance.

Seeing Joseph and Paisley dancing flawlessly on the dance floor, the people burst into warm applause.
