The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 241

Paige was extremely embarrassed and pushed Abbie into the room as she closed the door. She immediately explained, "I didn't do it on purpose... I didn't know you were here last night, and Joseph was being so shameless. I couldn't do anything about it either!"

"Pfft, one excuse after another! I don't believe that he could've forced his way through your stubbornness. I know you like him and can't forget about him!" Abbie didn't believe her.

"Don't be angry. Okay, I admit that I can't forget him! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have ignored you! I'm sorry, and I promise this won't happen again!"

"How can you treat that good-for-nothing b*stard like treasure? You make me so mad!" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

She retorted bluntly after hearing Paige's confession even though she wasn't actually mad.

She couldn't bear staying mad at her anymore after seeing Paige's smile.

"Alright, I don't have the strength to be angry with you anymore. I am starving. Let's go and eat something."

The two of them went to the restaurant on the cruise ship. Abbie ordered a steak, some seafood soup, a vegetable salad, and a potato pancake.

Both of them were hungry, so they dug in as soon as the food was served.

After filling their stomachs, Abbie put down her cutlery and said, "I heard that there's a barbeque buffet on the yacht today."

Paige's eyes lit up when she heard about the barbecue, "Really?"

"It's true. I heard it from my brother and his friends last night. Let's go find them!"

They got up and walked out of the restaurant. Abbie warned Paige before calling Aiden, "Ignore Joseph if you see him later. If you don't, I won't be your friend anymore!"

"Okay, okay, I know!" Paige knew that Abbie was the type of person to hold onto grudges.

After all, Abbie was still unable to unfreeze the card that Aiden froze because of Joseph.

Abbie called Aiden excitedly.

"My brother asked us to go to the deck to catch the yacht later! By the way, I need to go back to my room to change into casual clothes for the activities later. You can wait for me on the deck."

"I can go back to the room with you."

"No need. Just go to the deck and wait. I'll be right there."

Paige had no choice but to go to the deck.

When she got there, she saw many clusters of people who were discussing the event that was going to happen later.

As soon as Paige stepped onto the deck, Sophia came over and said sweetly, "Paige!"

Seeing Sophia's pitiful smile, Paige felt a little disgusted. She used to fall for Sophia's tricks like a fool because she would act so pitifully.

Now that the two of them knew of each other's true nature, why was she acting so соу?

Paige looked at her coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Paige, can you tell Mr. Anthony that I'm going on the yacht with you later?" Sophia had no choice but to throw away her ego to ask Paige for a favor. There was a special guest list for the barbecue tonight, so not everyone was qualified to go.

She received an invitation to the main party because Liam had asked Hardy shamelessly, but she was not qualified for the special yacht party.

At first, Sophia wanted to hook up with a few young men so that they could bring her with them, but none of them looked at her in the eye.

She came to Paige after thinking about it for a long time. After hearing Sophia's request, Paige was completely speechless.

"How shameless are you to come to me for help? I never thought you would have the guts to get help from me like this."

"I know that we've had many conflicts between us, but I have broken up with Ethan, and I have been punished already. Can't you help me this time?"

"You asked for the punishment yourself. Does it have anything to do with me?" Paige was speechless, "Sophia, do you think I am stupid?"

Sophia did not give up. She hesitated for a while and continued to plead humbly.

"Paige, I know that I have wronged you. After all, we're sisters. You'll benefit from helping me! As long as you help me, I promise I won't go against you anymore!"

"Are you negotiating with me? Who do you think you are?"

"I'm not negotiating. I'm just begging you. Paige, can you just help me this once?"

"No!" Paige refused without hesitation.

"I've already humbled myself like this. Why are you still so stubborn? Paige, please be generous to me!"

"I should be generous to people and not to animals", Paige said with a cold smile.

"Brushing off the fact that I don't have the capability to help you, even if I did, I wouldn't help you! Give up! Helping a dog would be better than helping you, you ungrateful b*tch!"

Sophia grew pale when she realized that the chances of Paige helping her were zero.

"Paige, I've already humbled myself so much. What else do you want? Do you think you've won already? It's still too early to think so!"

"Then come to me when you're qualified!"

After saying this, Paige moved past her and went straight to the deck. Sophia clenched her fists.

For her to humble herself so much to ask Paige for help, Paige still acted so coldly towards her, so she was infuriated. No matter what, she had to find a way to go to the barbeque tonight.

Sophia was going to call Liam to ask him to help her deal with Paige, so she left the deck to find a quiet place to make the phone call.

However, she didn't expect to hear a woman crying at the top of her voice. "What? My brother is injured? Why is he injured? Who did it?"

The woman's voice was loud, which startled Sophia. When she saw the woman on the phone, a sneer flashed in her eyes.

So she had moments like these too?

Sophia more or less were acquaintances with that woman, who was Lexis' sister.

Her name was Charlotte Burtos. She was ugly with a muscular build.

They had never talked before, but Charlotte went crazy last night. Just as Sophia was about to hook up with a rich man, Charlotte came over and poured a glass of red wine onto her.

Seeing that she had a strong and tall build, Sophia did not dare argue with her. She held back her

anger and went to the bathroom to wash off the wine stains.

Now that she couldn't hook up with the rich man, she was furious and found out about Charlotte's identity from other people.

She turned out to be the sister of Lexis, who was driven off the boat by Hardy. Their whole family was mentally ill.

Seeing that Charlotte was on the verge of tears when she was talking on the phone, Sophia's heart was filled with joy.

She was so arrogant when bullying other people!

This was karma for her.

She was thrilled, while Charlotte was fuming.

"Did you call the police? Did you find out who did it? I'll come and have a look!"

"Don't come. Just stay there. It wasn't easy to get the invitation. Now that your brother has become like this, wouldn't you be wasting your chances if you both come back like this?" Mrs. Burtos stopped her.

Both Charlotte and Lexis were not invited by Hardy himself. Due to them being distant relatives, Mrs. Burtos went through a lot of trouble to get them an invitation.

Now, her son was lying in the hospital with his hands broken. If her daughter came back, her efforts would be in vain.

Upon hearing her mother's words, Charlotte didn't persist any longer. She roared angrily, "We can't just let this matter go. We have to find out the truth. Let me know who broke my brother's hand, and I’ll peel off their skin!"

As she vented her anger on the other side, Sophia came up with a plan.

"Here comes the opportunity!"
