The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 232

Paige felt sad, but she had to admit that the two of them did dance well and were very in sync with each other.

Abbie knew that Paige was a little upset, so she snorted, "Paige, let's go down too!"

"Forget it, she's a professional while we're amateurs. Let's not join in the crowd."

"Who said that? I must go!" Abbie was someone who would never admit defeat, "I want to go down and stir things up, I will definitely make sure they stop dancing!"

"Forget it, Abbie!"

Abbie refused to listen to her advice and went straight to Aiden, "Mr. Cook, would you like to dance with me?"

Aiden laughed, "My pleasure. Please, Miss Cook!"

The siblings went down to the dance floor, and many other couples joined them. Soon, more and more people gathered on the dance floor. Paige stood next to it as her eyes followed Joseph and Paisley.

While dancing, Paisley spoke to Joseph with a smile. He maintained a gentle expression throughout, and Paige felt truly upset.

Seeing Paige standing alone next to the dance floor, Ethan came over again and said, "Mr. Dawson and Paisley really are a perfect match!"

Paige pretended that he didn't exist, but he didn't give up until she got annoyed. "By the way, why didn't anyone invite you to dance?"

Paige was about to argue with him when Hardy came over and asked with a smile, "Paige, will you please dance with me?"

He reached out politely and waited for Paige's response. The timing of events made Ethan felt sick.

Paige turned her head and looked at Ethan mockingly. She reached out her hand and went to the dance floor with Hardy.

Ethan watched her and Hardy twirling around the dance floor with a pale face and a heavy heart.

His helplessness made him feel like a joke.

He came to the party with excitement, thinking that things would go his way.

However, half a day had passed, and no one paid him any attention. This was because the Green Family had fallen into isolation as they had been chased out by the Dawson Group.

He could only come here on behalf of being Elizabeth's nephew. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have any rights to attend the event.

This made Ethan very angry. He used to be so happy when Paige was nice to him. He thought that she liked him for reasons other than him being her lifesaver.

He thought that maybe she had fallen for his talent and good looks.

But now, looking at so many elite, handsome, rich, and powerful men at the party, Ethan felt like a fool.

Even Joseph, whom he looked down upon, was also a top overseas university graduate.

If it weren't for Charles's meddling, Joseph's achievements would definitely have not been lower than Hardy's.

Not to mention that Joseph was better than him in both appearance and social charm.

Ethan felt ashamed of himself, and it showed on his face.

Sophia came over out of nowhere and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable? Are you sad?"

Seeing Sophia, Ethan was reminded of his extreme hatred towards her. This d*m woman seduced him and spread bad rumors about Paige in front of him, which caused him to be break up with Paige.

If it weren't for Sophia, they would have been fine now. He wouldn't have experienced the embarrassment he went through. Ethan glared at her angrily, "Get out of my way!"

Sophia did not leave. Instead, she looked at Ethan and sneered, "Ethan, I've always wanted to tell you that we are the perfect match."

She chuckled, "You see, I am an illegitimate daughter. Although you are part of the Green Family, you have no one to rely on. What is the difference between you and me? We are the same, so we will do anything to achieve our goals."

"No, I'm different from you!"

"What's the difference? Look at you. The people around you have their own statuses, but what about you? If you don't have Charles to support you, what are you? You couldn't have come here by yourself, could you?"

Sophia's words triggered Ethan, so he viciously pushed her away and left. Sophia laughed mockingly as she watched him leave.

Ethan hated her, and she, of course, hated him too. She had been shunned to this state because of him. If she had known that he was unreliable and that the situation was going to be like this, she wouldn't have tried to seduce that b*stard in the first place.

On the dance floor, Abbie and Aiden soon danced next to Joseph and Paisley.

Abbie went to the dance floor intending to create trouble. After reaching Joseph and Paisley, she took her hand off of Aiden's shoulder and prepared to set a trap for Joseph.

Aiden knew her tricks. As soon as she released her hand from his shoulder, he grabbed her and spun her around to control her.

Although Joseph danced with Paisley, he was not into it at all. Abbie's slight actions did not escape his eyes.

He glanced at her, and Abbie shivered.

Aiden frowned and said in a low voice, "What are you trying to do? Will you learn your lesson only after Joseph does something to you?"

"I didn't even do anything. I just lost my balance just now," Abbie tried to explain herself.

"Do you think I don't know how you are? Let me warn you again. You're not allowed to provoke Joseph. If you do, I'll send you out of the country!"

Abbie felt threatened and groaned. "I'm not dancing anymore! This is no fun!"

However, when she saw Hardy and Paige enter the dance floor, Abbie immediately cheered up again, "Paige is coming. Bro, let's go over there! Let me tell you, Paige's dancing is the best. Let's go closer to her!"

"Didn't you want to stop dancing?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"I feel like dancing again after seeing Paige. Hurry up, or I'II go pester Joseph!" Abbie threatened.

Aiden had no other choice but to take Abbie to them. Abbie had a smile on her face, "Hardy and Paige, you guys are dancing really well!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Cook!" Hardy replied with a smile.

"Mr. Anthony, will there be any talent performances later?" Abbie asked.

"Yes, there will be. Miss Cook, do you want to put on a show for the crowd?" Hardy asked in reply.

"No I don't, but I think Paige would want to. Let me tell you, she's not only good at dancing, but she's also amazing when it comes to the piano as well. She once won a big prize for it. She usually doesn't dance nor play the piano, so today is a rare opportunity. Mr. Anthony, you have to take your chances!"

"Thank you for telling me, Miss Cook! I will make good use of this opportunity," Hardy smiled. Abbie mouthed the words to Paige, "Good luck, I have faith in you!"

Paige stared at her with a fed-up expression. Hardy felt something stir in his heart when he saw her cute demeanour.

"Paige, when did you win the prize for dancing and piano?"

"Mr. Anthony, don't listen to Abbie's nonsense. I got the award when I was a child, and I haven't played the piano in years!"

"In that case, later you can.…”

"No! I'll make a fool of myself!" Paige shook her head while laughing.

"No, you have to be confident in yourself. I believe in you!"

Joseph's gaze grew colder when he saw Paige and Hardy talking and laughing together.
