Chapter 42
“What? Boss, I know you said this because you’re angry, right?”
Rylee went over hurriedly. “Boss, are you tired from Mr. Stowe’s surgery? Let me give you a massage.”
“Get lost. How can you touch her? Boss will chop your hands.”
Jairo turned around with a smile after scolding Rylee. “Boss, why don’t you let me massage your shoulders and loosen your muscles?” Rylee began to scold Jairo, “What are you talking about? Aren’t you afraid of being punched by Boss as soon as you touch her?”
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Jairo and Rylee looked at each other in an instant. They wondered if they had been discovered.
“My dear, are you asleep?”
Danica’s voice came from the door. Ccould it be that Danica had discovered something and especially came to knock on the door?
“Not yet.”
Paige’s voice sounded gentle. But when she looked at her two subordinates, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, “Take the check and disappear in 10 seconds.”
Jairo still wanted to say something, but he heard Paige’s ruthless voice, “Otherwise, the bonus will be confiscated.”
When Jairo heard this, he immediately jumped out of the balcony. “Goodbye, Boss.”
“What? Why aren’t you waiting for me?”
Rylee was amazed by Jairo’s speed. Then he turned to Paige. “I’ll leave right away. Goodbye.”
“You still have 3 seconds.”
Rylee rushed to the balcony after hearing it. “But there’s a dog down there. I don’t dare jump…”
“Paige, can I go in?”
Danica asked from the door.
Paige looked up and saw that although Rylee jumped down, he was still holding the railing with one hand. It was obvious that he was afraid of the dog below.
The dog was fierce and kept barking at Rylee.
Wait, Boss.
Rylee thought that Paige was here to help him, but he didn’t expect that Paige would directly kick him down. He fell to the grass, and his b*tt was in pain.
He didn’t expect Paige would do this…
At that time, the big dog saw him and barked at him. It opened its mo*th with sharp teeth and was about to bite him.
Rylee was so scared that he hurriedly ran for his life.
Paige saw that he ran away and opened the door. “M*m, I thought you slept.”
“I’m worried that you’re hungry. I wonder if you’re full from dinner with Martin tonight.”
As soon as Danica entered the bedroom with the tray in her hand, she vaguely heard a strange voice. “Paige, did you hear anything? It sounds like a man being chased by a dog.” Danica was right. A man was shouting, and there was also a dog barking.
It sounded like the scene was quite miserable.
“No.”
Paige answered without blushing.
“Maybe I heard it wrong.”
Danica put down the tray in her hand, and a delicate snack appeared in front of her “Eat it while it is warm.” “Did you make this?”
Paige was a little surprised. She didn’t expect Danica would have such good cooking skills. It looked good. “It was made by the chef.”
Danica was afraid that her daughter couldn’t eat her bad cooking, so she specially asked the chef to make some.
“Hurry up and eat.
Danica looked at Paige lovingly. “You just came back to the family. If there is anything that you’re not used to, you can tell me, understand?”
Paige took the fork that Danica handed over.
“Regarding the matter of you going home, your father and I have decided not to announce it yet.”
There were three reasons. First, Paige’s grandparents weren’t in good health, and they were old, so they couldn’t afford to be extremely happy or sad for the time being.
Second, there were too many relatives. And if they knew about this matter, sooner or later they would come.
Third, if Paige’s identity was to be announced, there would be too much media to report everything about Paige every day. Every word and action would be highly paid attention to. If Paige was judged, Danica was afraid that Paige would be uncomfortable.
Danica explained with worries, “When the time is right, we will announce the information. Is that all right?”
Paige didn’t expect her mother would specifically tell her this. She said lightly, “I don’t care about this.” Paige didn’t care about whether it was announced or if there was a grand ceremony.
As long as the family was together and every family member was united, it would be enough for Paige.
Danica looked at the sensible child in front of her with gratification. She told Paige to eat more. Paige finished eating, and they chatted for a while until Paige’s cell phone rang. Danica left with the tray.
“I’m home.”
It was a call from Martin.
“You gave me so many clothes that I can’t wear them all.
“Can I sell some?” Paige asked.
She indeed had a lot of clothes. If she couldn’t wear them all, it would be a waste. She might as well sell some clothes to someone else. Then she could use the money for medical research. “No need. Keep them and wear them in the future.
“I will take you to play tomorrow. Is there anywhere you want to go?” Martin asked in a doting tone.
“I need to go to work.”
“Work?” Martin was a little surprised. “Summer vacation work?”
“I guess so….
“Do your parents agree?”
‘Yes…”
It was the company Paige’s parents gave to Paige.
“Where is it? I’ll send you there.”
“No need. That place is close to my house.”
“Why do you have to go to work?”
Martin felt a little distressed.
He wondered if it was because Paige didn’t have enough pocket money.
But after thinking about it carefully, he stopped wondering about it. He gave Paige a blank check after the surgery, so it should not be a problem with the money.
Tm just playing. I have nothing to do during the summer vacation.”
If Paige didn’t choose the company, her parents wanted to give her money, so she had no choice.
“Come to my place to work then.”
Martin’s voice once again sounded attractive.
Paige didn’t say anything.
Martin added in his charming voice, “You can do however you want.
Paige remained silent.
“If you stay with me, I can also take care of you.”
“No need.”
“Think about it.”
This was the first time in Martin’s life that he tried to recruit someone
But Paige refused without thinking, “Thank you, I already have a job.”
“Seriously?”
“Yes”
“Then you can go there for two days. If it is not fun, come to me.”
Martin didn’t want Paige to go out to work for the summer vacation, because it meant that Paige wouldn’t be seen during all the work hours.
And Martin thought that Paige hadn’t experienced society yet and didn’t know the complexity of society.
If she was bullied…
The next morning.
As soon as Tyrell stepped through the gate of the Group, he found the secretary standing not far away. It seemed that the secretary had been waiting for him for a long time. Tyrell was in a good mood. He greeted the secretary with a smile, “Issac, why are you here so early today?”
“Mr Tate, you finally came.”
Issac Yonge screwed up his face, and he was about to cry. “Something big has happened. Several companies called today and said that their cooperation with us will end here.”
“Is the contract expired?”
“No.”
“Then are they not satisfied with the current proportion of the shares? I don’t think it’s a problem. Talk to
them properly…”
“From now on, they will never cooperate with us again. We have been blacklisted by them.”
When Issac said this, Tyrell was stunned.
“Why is that?”
When he suddenly heard about this, he couldn’t figure out why immediately. “Is it a problem with the price, or have they found a better partner?”
Chapter 43
The Company Is Big
“This…” Issac didn’t dare say it out loud.
“What are you talking about…” Tyrell was a little dissatisfied. “If you have something to say, just say it. We have worked together for many years. Do you think I will fire you because you said something wrong?
“Mr Tate, I know you won’t. But what they said is a bit unpleasant… I’m afraid that you will be unhappy if you hear it.”
Issac was indeed embarrassed to pass on the message.
But the more he didn’t say it, the more Tyrell wanted to ask why
Issac followed Tyrell into the elevator and entered the office. He couldn’t stand the pressure and said the truth. “They called you a f*ol. They said that they had long been fed up with your *and didn’t want to cooperate with you anymore. In short, they scolded a lot of strange things.”
“Which company said that?”
Tyrell thought the person who said it was rude.
So he suddenly got angry. Stopping cooperation was nothing. But why did they say so many inexplicable words?
“There are three companies in total. The biggest one is the most… Issac said.
When Tyrell heard this, he had a bad feeling in his heart. The Pai Group?”
“Yes…”
The Pai Group was a famous venture capital investment company. The founder of this company, Pai, was known as a good investor If she aimed at one project, the project would be able to make a big deal after the investment.
Many small companies were able to become big and strong because of the company investment.
In the past, no matter what Tyrell wanted to develop, as long as he told Pai, he could easily get the money.
Even if the project failed and the money was lost, Pai Group never blamed him.
Other companies saw Pai Group holding Tyrell up like this and thought that Tyrell had some background, so they were polite to Tyrell.
But what was going on?
Why did they stop cooperation with Tyrell so suddenly?
“What project did we invest in the last time we asked Pai Group for money?”
Tyrell couldn’t remember
“Two months ago, you took 80 million dollars from Pai Group and said you wanted to buy IU Company.”
IU Company was a high-tech clothing fitting company As long as one stood in front of the company’s mirror, they would be able to touch the electronic system on the mirror with their fingers and easily try all the clothes in the store.
The Tate family ran a fashion business and had their own clothing production company and stores. Tyrell wanted to install an atomic mirror in all the stores so that the customers could try more clothes and buy more.
“But we didn’t expect that using a mirror to try on clothes would be different from trying clothes by the customers themselves. The difference in effect is too great.”
Issac felt regretful.
And the cost of maintenance of the mirror was high, and the requirements for the environment were high. If the mirror was exposed to the sunshine for a long time, it would burst and spontaneously combust. The humid place would make it fail after being installed for a long time. Sometimes, the figures would distort in the mirror…
In short, Tyrell sent people to install tens of thousands of IU Company’s mirrors and then asked people to remove them….
Tyrell had spent more than 115 million dollars in total, which was much more than 80 million dollars.
“Is it because of this?” Tyrell tried to figure out the reason.
Tyrell guessed that Pai Group stopped cooperating with him because of this.
“That doesn’t seem to be the case.”
Issac hurriedly said, “Previously, you asked for 160 million dollars from Pai Group and said that you wanted to invest in a clothing mall. In the end, you lost everything and even lost our company’s 50 million dollars. Pai
Group didn’t stop cooperation with us after that…”
Tyrell thought about it and agreed. If Pai Group didn’t want to cooperate, they would have stopped the damage in time. They didn’t have to wait until now.
“Other than scolding me, did Pai Group say anything else?”
“No.”
Pai Group’s founder never showed up easily. All the work was handed over to Rylan Wager, who was in charge. of the company’s business in America.
“The person who called to mock you was Rylan’s assistant, Abel Lawton… when Issac said this, he hesitated to speak.
“Why are you hesitating again? If there is anything else, just say it.”
Tyrell had lost his patience. He pulled his tie and looked annoyed.
“Well… Pai Group stopped cooperation. It seemed that they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. And they seemed to be in a good mood. At the end of the call, I heard them laughing.” Tyrell was puzzled. *I have to call Abel and ask him what’s going on.” Tyrell wanted to call the assistant of Pia Capital.
Issac hurriedly took over the telephone in the office.
Tyrell called Abel first. Usually, Abel picked up the call faster than anyone else, but now Tyrell only got a cold reminder “Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off.”
Tyrell didn’t believe it and called several times in a row. His mood became even more agitated. He was most likely blacklisted.
He undid the buttons on his collar and called Abel’s supervisor, Rylan. But he didn’t expect Rylan would blacklist him too…
While listening to the system’s cold reminder, Tyrell was extremely agitated. He suppressed his anger and called the other two companies…
The other two companies didn’t pick up his call.
After calling for an hour, Tyrell got no answer
Issac stood at the side while shivering. Suddenly, he received a text.
“Mr Tate.”
“Can’t you see that I’m in a bad mood? Sh*t up. Be quiet.”
Tyrell was furious and irritated.
Issac couldn’t speak, so he could only take the small notebook on the table and write a line of words with a pen. “The board of directors is looking for you.”
Tyrell glanced at the small notebook Issac handed over, and his anger burned even more. “The board of directors is looking for me. Can’t you use your mo*th to say it? Why are you writing?”
“Mr Tate, you were the one who told me to sh*t up just now.
“These old guys usually get the dividends more happily than anyone else. Now that something has happened, they immediately come to blame me.”
Tyrell got up in frustration and picked up his suit jacket. “Let them wait and get me a car I want to go to Pai Group”
“Why
“I want to ask Rylan something.
On the other hand.
Paige followed the location sent by her mother and came to the door of a company
The exterior of this company was a hollow glass wall. It looked 18 or 19 floors high and was about 5 storefronts wide.
A large stone in front of the door was engraved with the company’s name. It was Daybreak Medicine
Research Company
But Paige remembered that it should be a small subsidiary company.
When Paige entered the building, she saw the receptionist dozing off. She softly said, “Hello.”
“Hello?”
The receptionist saw that the person who came was a girl who looked like a high school student. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, “Did you come to the wrong place? This is a medical research and development company…”
“My name is Paige Tate. I’m here to work.”
The receptionist heard this and was scared out of her wits. She immediately stood up. “Ms. Tate? This way please.”
Donald had already instructed yesterday that someone would come to take over the company today. Because Paige’s identity had not been announced, Donald only told the company’s staff that Paige was sent by the company headquarters.
The receptionist led Paige into the elevator and pressed the button to the highest floor. “I will take you to the office on the 20th floor.”
Chapter 44
They Aren’t Working
“No need. I just want to walk around.”
Paige looked at the floor layout map in the elevator and casually pressed the button to the 2nd floor She wanted to check the research and development department.
Early in the morning, there were not many people coming to work in the research department. Those who came were playing with their cell phones or taking a nap, and they didn’t seem to be working. When the receptionist appeared with Paige, she deliberately knocked on the door.
But when the people from the research and development department saw that she had brought a girl who looked like a high school student, they thought that Paige was a family member of their colleagues and didn’t take it seriously.
“Karley, you brought one of your families to work today. Right?”
A slightly plump woman smiled and said, “Come and play with me.
The receptionist was Karley Merton. Karley hurriedly used her eyes to hint at the woman not to speak nonsense.
“What’s wrong with your eyes?”
The woman didn’t notice anything, but Paige walked over and found that the woman was playing cards on the computer.
The woman was stunned. She didn’t expect Paige would be better than her in this game.
“9 of *should be the first.”
When the woman heard this, she subconsciously used the mouse to click on the card.
“6 of hearts.
3 of diamonds.
*5 of *.”
Under Paige’s instructions, not long after, the woman turned the tide.
“Wow, you are so awesome. How old are you?”
The woman patted Paige on the shoulder. “Help me win two more rounds. OK? I will give you several dollars to buy candy.”
“This is Ms. Tate, the head of the company sent by headquarters.”
Karley cleared her throat and said, ‘Go to work now. Don’t waste your time at work.”
The woman looked at the girl in front of her who looked like a high school student, and she was so stunned that her mo*th was wide open.
What?
The person in charge of the company sent by the headquarters?
Paige seemed to be a girl who hadn’t graduated from high school.
The woman thought that Paige might be some higher-ups’ mistress. And some thought that they would suffer if Paige was the head of the company.
It was obvious that others were also puzzled by Paige’s age. They didn’t believe that a girl like Paige could manage a company.
“You should improve your playing style because it is impossible for you to win in a short time.”
“Work hard and earn more money. Paige patted the woman on the shoulder.
Just as Paige was about to leave the research department, she noticed a girl in the corner wearing earphones and drawing something on a piece of wh*te paper.
She walked over and saw the girl drawing a small dress with a pen. The dress looked ordinary, but a thick stack of drawings next to it was enough to prove the girl’s diligence.
“This is the company’s most hard-working designer, Mariela Robins,” when Karley said this, she reached out and gently touched Mariela’s shoulder.
Mariela took off her earphones and looked at the two unexpected guests in front of her. She was a little puzzled, but she still asked politely, “What’s the matter?”
The office was too noisy just now. She was wearing headphones and drawing a draft, so she didn’t know what happened.
“This is Ms. Tate, the person in charge of our company. Hurry up and say hello,” Karley whispered.
Mariela looked at Paige and immediately stood up. She timidly and respectfully said, “Good morning, Ms. Tate.”
“Did you design all these?” Paige’s eyes fell on a stack of drawings.
“Yes. “Mariela hurriedly showed the drawings to Paige.
“Mariela finished her education at university at the age of 18. She is a top student in the school. She loves fashion design. Last month, when she just came, she designed a lot of work for the company.” “Pretty good. Keep up with your good work.” Paige returned the drawing to Mariela.
“Thank you. “Mariela looked at Paige’s leaving figure with expectations. She didn’t expect that Paige would be about the same age as her and had become the head of the company. She thought that Paige must be very strong.
After walking around the company, Paige found that the overall atmosphere was very undisciplined. Everyone who worked in Paige’s companies was not as undisciplined as the staff here.
This place was declining to the extreme. People who were working here didn’t want to work at all.
When Paige returned to the office and just sat on the office chair, Deon Hampson rushed in. Deon was assigned to be Paige’s assistant.
“Sorry, I am late. Well. Where is the person in charge of the company? Didn’t she come today? Excuse me. Have you seen the person in charge of the company? Get up quickly, that person should arrive soon. You can’t sit here.”
Deon said a bu*ch of things. He started to pay attention to the girl in front of him. Paige raised her eyebrows. Her casual and killing aura immediately made Deon’s scalp numb.
“You. You can’t be.”
“Paige Tate.”
“Ms. Tate. Deon hurriedly went forward and was scared out of his wits.
After listening to his stuttering explanation, Paige roughly understood that the slowest developing business. of the Lusk family was the medical business. Among these, medical research and development had the least results
Deon had been in the company for 4 years. There was no successful research and development of any projects here. The talented people had all left, and the people who stayed here were willing to do nothing.
The headquarters had half given up on this subsidiary and let it go. The staff here had no one to control them, so the overall atmosphere wasn’t good.
“Let’s hold a meeting in half an hour I want to see every department’s head and deputy managers as well as
all the company’s managing staff.”
“Yes…” Deon hurriedly sent a notice to the chatting group.
Half an hour later.
In the conference room, only eleven people arrived. There were still 27 empty chairs.
“Ms. Tate. The head of the finance department said that her child was si*k today. She wanted to take a leave of absence to send her child to the hospital. The deputy head of the department says that he isn’t feeling well and is resting at home.
“The head of the purchasing department said..”
Before Deon finished speaking, he was interrupted by Paige. Tell them that if they don’t come tomorrow, they will be fired.”
When the people who came to the meeting heard her big tone, they thought that Paige was a new official and deliberately came to establish her prestige.
“Since I came here, it means that you have to say goodbye to the laziness of the past. Or, you’ll say goodbye to the company.
Everyone looked up at the same time. They didn’t know that Paige was much stricter in managing her own company than this. If there were employees who were willing to do nothing, she would have already fired them.
“Now, who will tell me the current research and development direction of the company, as well as the advanced achievements made?”
Paige looked at everyone.
No one came out to speak.
“I will ask again.”
Paige repeated what she had just said. But the result was still the same, and no one answered.
The answer was obvious. The company didn’t have any research and development direction and hadn’t achieved any high-end results.
Just then, a newcomer stood up.
“Ms. Tate”
Henry Gardner, the head of the design department, stood up. “We also hope that the company will grow stronger, but we don’t know where the problem lies. Each department is well matched, but the company just stops.”
“What?”
“Also, I think all the things designed by our department are very good, but the products are not well-received by customers. I wondered why.
Paige was puzzled.
“For example, last month, Mariela of our department drew 10 summer dresses. We had a special meeting to discuss them. The style was good, and the product looked very good, but no one showed any interest in it. There is no problem with our aesthetics. If you don’t believe me, I will show it to you.”
Chapter 45
She Gets Into the Old Man’s Car, Henry picked ten good-looking dresses to show on the big screen.
With just a glance, Paige saw a few problems. “For the first one, the lace is and can be removed. The second dress should be changed into a short skirt, and the V-neck be replaced with a round collar The third dress can be changed to this.
Paige casually sketched on the paper, and then a prettier dress with flowers, which was suitable for summer, came into view.
“There is the fourth.
After Paige finished commenting on the ten dresses, everyone was shocked. Obviously, they were shocked by her professionalism.
They originally thought that the person sent by the headquarters was unreliable and did not take this girl seriously at all. They did not expect that she could point out the problems with just a few words. She was professional and knew more than them.
Otherwise, how could she find the problems in such a short time and give a better plan?
“Ms. Tate, it won’t help no matter how good our design is, as some of our colleagues are not good enough.
We are very helpless!
The atmosphere in the company is always bad. Even if you are not assimilated, others will exclude you!
“We are lacking in manpower and professional knowledge. It is useless for the headquarters to keep us, but it is also a pity to abandon us. We are also in a dilemma.”
Many people spoke out and pointed out the problem.
“Before I came to the company, I asked around Paige’s eyes swept over everyone. “Our company sets product design, development, production, and sales as one. We also take some external orders, such as helping other factories to process products. At present, in addition to clothes, shoes, and bags, there are also male and female accessories, such as square scarves, sunglasses, and other products.
“One year has passed, but the company saw no development. There must be something wrong with this.
“I walked around the company just now. Some machines are too old to keep up with the times. Let the people.
of the purchasing department get new ones in three days, including machines for cutting cloth, sewing, printing patterns, stitching, automatic packaging, etc. I will make a detailed list.”
When everyone heard this, they were a little excited! They had wanted to replace these instruments for a long time
The company will have two directions of development One is that our company must have some masterwork, and the other is to maintain the current development of the company. We still need to take some external orders.
“The management staff will be greatly adjusted. Everyone, be prepared.
“If someone is unwilling to cooperate with colleagues or can’t accept the change in work, you can submit your resignation to the HR department in advance.
“If you have any questions later, come to my office and look for me at any time. Let’s call it a day”
Paige stood up. She was exuding a strong and cool aura.
Many people looked behind her back and faintly felt that the company was going to change. They saw hope for the company. There would be great changes.
When Paige returned to the office, her mobile phone vibrated. “Samuel?”
“Paige, I have come to Chicago. Do you have time to have lunch with me at noon?”
A hearty laugh came from the phone, “Even if you don’t have time, you have to squeeze out the time! Guess what day it is today.”
“Your birthday?”
Paige did not expect that she would be so busy that she forgot his birthday! She did not prepare a gift!
“You little girl, at least you are not completely upsetting me! You still remember my birthday! Then let’s meet at Chilakey Restaurant at noon. It’s still the box you like, and I will pick you up. “OK, I will send you the location.”
“OK.”
After hanging up the phone, Paige sent her location to Samuel Plath and checked her bag. Today, she did not bring anything of value with her She remembered the production department of the company. There seemed to be a few machines that could be used.
At this time, Henry, the head of the design department, and the designer Mariela were at the production department to see how the latest designs were made.
They were talking when they saw Paige appear
“I will use the machine. You can do your work.”
She asked her assistant Deon to bring a lot of fabric. Some didn’t have the right color, and some materials were not suitable. She could only constantly change the style. After fiddling for a while in the production department, she finally made several sets of clothes and then left in a hurry.
Henry and Mariela looked at each other in shock. They could not believe that Paige had made several sets of clothes in such a short time. The whole process was smooth. There was no mistake at all!
The key point was that Paige could change the style according to the situation. There was not even a model draft, and the clothes she made were especially beautiful.
However, Paige did it too quickly. Even though they stood beside her, they couldn’t see it clearly.
Who on earth was this Paige?
She was so powerful.
After Parge finished the birthday present, she received a Line message from Martin.
“Where do you work?”
Seeing that Paige did not reply, he sent another message after a while. “Are you used to it on the first day?” After thinking for a while, he added, “Have you been bullied?”
Paige sent a location, and Martin saw that it was a small clothing company under the Lusk family.
She has only been back for two days, and she has already taken over the company? Isn’t that too fast?
“Are you tired?” Martin could not bear to see her get so tired.
“I’m not tired. It’s very easy. I was not bullied.” Paige replied to all of the questions.
“Let’s have lunch together.”
“Not today. I have an appointment with someone else.”
“Male?”
“Yes.”
Martin looked at her reply, and the jealous and unhappy feeling in his heart spread again.
“Which restaurant is it? I’ll send you there.”
Paige replied “no need” and picked up the report sent by Deon. She did not reply anymore.
At noon.
When Paige received a call from Samuel, she knew that Samuel had arrived downstairs. She picked up her baseball bag and got into his car
“Mr. Stowe, should we follow?” Rhys did not expect Paige would take over the company so quickly after Paige’s family acknowledged her. He also did not expect that Paige would reject Martin’s lunch invitation and get in someone else’s car!
This license plate number looked very unfamiliar. It should not be someone in the upper-class circle of Chicago. The background of the person in the car was unknown.
However, since Martin had to follow him personally, it must be a man!
“What follow? We are just looking for a place to have lunch,” Martin said in a disapproving tone.
“Sure.” Rhys thought, you are the boss, and you are right. Is the restaurant you are heading to the place Ms.
Tate is going to?
You just don’t want to admit it.
At this time, in the car, when the old man saw Paige, his tone was somewhat excited. “You get more
beautiful! It is too difficult to see you now!”
Samuel knew that if not for his birthday, Paige would definitely not have the time to see him.
“How is your grandmother now?”
Paige told him the general situation, only to see that Samuel had tears in his eyes, “With you taking care of her, and Todd also in Chicago, I am relieved.
Samuel was in love with Cassie back then, but he was born poor Cassie’s family looked down on him and disagreed with their relationship.
In the end, Samuel could only watch when his beloved woman was forced to marry a small local rich family member – the Tate family. He worked hard and made a name for himself in the business field, and finally managed to make business abroad and gain a foothold abroad.
Later, he felt that his career had been successful. He returned to the small z-list city to find Cassie and gave her a ring, promising that no matter what request she made with this ring, he would satisfy it!
Chapter 46
The Only Heir
Unexpectedly, one summer vacation, Cassie asked Paige to take this ring to him and ask him to teach her a skill.
He was a business genius and had many powerful friends around him.
Because of Cassie, Samuel never married in his life. He treated Paige as his own granddaughter and taught her to do business. His friends had also taught Paige medical skills. His several friends who were good at playing chess and painting also liked Paige very much and taught her all their skills.
And Paige did live up to their expectations and even surpassed them.
Paige spent most of her winter and summer vacation time with this group of old men. These men took credit for her success today.
“When will you graduate from college? It is time to share the burden of me!”
Samuel felt that he was old. “I have no son and no daughter. In the future, you will be the only heir..”
“Don’t.” Paige was really busy. What was more, Donald now gave her the company. She didn’t have time to do other things.
“You are the only family I have in the world. If I don’t give you my property, who else can I give it to?” Samuel laughed.
“Since you miss Grandma, why don’t you come back to settle down?”
In any case, his overseas career was stable. If he settled down in Chicago, they could often meet.
However, Samuel smiled bitterly. “People will gossip around.”
No one knew about his past with Cassie. Even Tyrell did not know that his mother knew such a person!
“Your Grandpa passed away early, but he treated your grandmother really well. I can’t get together with your grandmother after his death.” Paige was speechless.
“It’s enough to know about her information from afar.”
Samuel did not ask for too much. Now, what made him happy was that Paige had been trained so well. It would be a waste of talent to be his successor!
The car stopped at the entrance of Chilakey Restaurant.
Paige opened the car door and helped him get out of the car. “I told you not to work so hard when you were young, but you didn’t listen.
“Look, now that you are old, you can’t even walk steadily
Samuel smiled and was satisfied with her support. “When I think that after I d*e, I can still leave you a dowry, I feel these years of hard work are worth it
“You are obviously working hard for Grandma. What has it got to do with me?”
Paige supported him to walk forward slowly. “You’re old now. It’s time for you to take a break.”
“No, no, there are still some industries. Before I d*e, I have to get them for you.”
Paige was speechless.
At that time, Abbigail held Davon’s hand and said in shock, “Davon, isn’t that Paige?”
She came to the wedding dress shop opposite Chilakey Restaurant with Davon. Unexpectedly, just as she walked out, she saw Paige holding an old man’s hand as they walked into the restaurant. “That man is so old. Doesn’t she find it disgu*ting?”
Davon frowned. He did not expect Paige would spoil herself in order to stay in Chicago! Davon immediately felt sick.
Abbigail remembered that last night at Star Restaurant, Paige also came out of the VIP elevator with a man. Could it be that Paige was dating different men at the same time? Or was the man last night really her brother?
In any case, she was so down and out. It was really satisfying!
Martin, who was in the car, saw Paige holding the old man’s hand. Martin’s eyes could not move away.
That pair of small hands that he once held, was holding the arm of another person at this time.
“Mr Stowe, that old man is a little familiar
Rhys carefully searched his brain several times, and suddenly remembered. “Now I know! His name is Samuel Plath. He is the owner of the famous venture capital firm abroad, Monany Group.”
His Group was even bigger than Pai Group. In the past, he relied on a small business to make a name for himself. Later on, he had enough money and mainly developed investments. He had great insights. The projects he found promising and invested in all gained huge development. In the past few decades, he invested a lot of industries, and his personal wealth was extremely huge!
No wonder his car plate number was never seen. It turned out that he lived abroad all year round.
“Ms. Tate knows quite a lot of people,” Rhys could not help but say
Not only was the director of Farwen Hospital very sure of her, but also the group of medical experts listened to her. The richest man was her father Now it seemed that she had a deep relationship with Samuel Martin was still looking at those hands. They had been supporting Samuel for so long. Why hadn’t they let go?
Seeing them enter the elevator, Martin’s eyes darkened. “Check which room they are eating in.”
“Mr. Stowe, you want to go in and eat together?”
Just as Rhys finished speaking, he sensed displeasure of Martin. He thought for a moment and then understood.
“Mr. Stowe, I asked the person in charge of the restaurant. They said that Ms. Tate went to a private room on the south side of the second floor. There is also a restaurant on the opposite side of the south side. Why don’t we go to the opposite side to have lunch? We’d better not disturb Ms. Tate and her friend.”
“OK”
Martin retracted his gaze, but his mind was still thinking about that pair of soft hands.
“Here, this is for you.” Paige helped Samuel enter the private room and took out a small medicine bottle.
“My birthday gift?”
Samuel looked at the small wh*te bottle without any packaging. He knew that she had been fiddling with these strange things since she was a child.
“Take it and you don’t need to be supported.”
Paige poured him a glass of water and put it in front of him.
“This gift is not bad! I’ll accept it.” Samuel chuckled.
In his old age, what he cared about the most was his image.
He wanted to leave a good impression on Cassie. He didn’t want to limp out in front of her, although he didn’t know if he would have the chance to meet her again. “Mr Stowe, the dishes are all served. You can eat now.”
In the private room, Rhys saw that Martin’s eyes were fixed on the girl in the opposite room, and could not help but tease, “The sight here is really good!”
What Paige did inside was clearly seen.
“Just care about your food.”
Martin saw Paige give the old man a gift, pour a cup of water, and place food in front of him.
Last night, he didn’t even receive this kind of treatment!
“Mr. Stowe, then 1 won’t wait for you.”
Rhys picked up his bowl and ate with relish.
He was really hungry. He had been busy with work with Martin and had been hungry for the entire morning.
“Look at my memory. Samuel suddenly found that he forgot to bring the gift. “Your grandmother’s birthday will be in half a month. I have prepared a gift for her. Later, you come with me to the hotel to get it. It is still the same as before. You can’t tell her it’s from me.”
“OK.”
Paige placed another dish in front of him. “How many days do you plan to stay this time?” Paige asked.
‘I will leave in the afternoon.”
“This fast?”
“Well, I am alone…
Paige saw a trace of loneliness in his eyes, and she said lightly, “If you want to see Grandma, I can arrange it.”
Samuel was a little excited, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that this was not good. There were many people in the hospital. If people gossiped around and the younger generation heard it…
He did not care about it himself, but he was afraid that Cassie’s reputation would be affected, although they were innocent and had not done anything.
“I can ask Colin to take you in tonight to have a look.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma won’t wake up at night.” Paige took a sip of the soup and said lightly.
“This…” Samuel thought about it and shook his head firmly. “I’m afraid that once I go, I won’t be willing to leave.”
Paige was surprised and looked into his eyes.
“In fact, this is quite good… In a while, you go to the hotel with me and take your grandmother’s gift.”
Although he could not accompany her, there were very few things that could be by her side, making her not lonely.
Chapter 47
He Pulls Her Into His Arms
When Martin saw Paige finish the soup in the bowl, he couldn’t help but think, what kind of soup is that? It looks delicious. He also wanted to have a taste. After dinner, Paige got into Samuel’s car and went to Farwen Hotel to get the gift.
Abbigail and Davon, who were waiting outside Chilakey Restaurant, saw Paige holding an old man in the car which then dr*ve in the direction of the hotel. Davon was somehow angry. He started the engine and followed her
“I never thought that Paige would really betray herself.” Abbigail cried, pretending to be sorry “Davon, I really didn’t think that Paige would have such a hard time after she left the Tate family.
“She asks for it!”
For some reason, Davon was extremely annoyed when he saw Paige’s fair and beautiful face.
Maybe it was because he grew up abroad and had not seen Paige many times. He did not expect that she would look so well after dressing up. What was worse, she seduced old men.
If she was willing to come and beg him, maybe he would help!
“Mr. Stowe, Ms. Tate has entered the hotel. Should we follow her in?”
Rhys watched as Paige helped Samuel enter the hotel. He could feel Martin’s strong jealousy
“Why don’t you give Ms. Tate a call and ask her what she is doing?”
Martin ignored him, obviously disdainful of Rhys’ suggestion.
However, as time went by, Martin finally couldn’t bear it. He took out his phone and dialed the familiar number.
And only five minutes had passed since Rhys gave the suggestion.
“Paige.”
Even Martin himself did not notice that there was a trace of grievance in his tone, which sounded a little pitiful.
“What’s the matter?”
Paige just took the gift and walked out of the room.
“I want to chat with you.”
At this time, Martin only wanted to hear her voice. “What did you have for lunch?”
“Some home-cooked food.”
Paige entered the elevator, and the signal was still there.
“How does it taste?”
She even drank up the soup, so it must be very good.
“It’s OK.”
“Then take me there next time?”
Paige could tell that he was looking for something to talk about. “Why did you call me?”
“Where did you go?”
They were clearly simple words, but when Martin said them, they seemed to be filled with longing.
“Didn’t you know?”
Paige walked out of the elevator and went straight to the black car outside the hotel. She opened the door and looked at him. “You followed me from the company to the hotel.” “Did you know it all the time?”
When Martin saw her coming, he pulled her into his arms and said, “I just passed by and saw you.”
Paige thought, do you think I will believe it?
“Why didn’t you talk to me?”
Martin looked at her with his dark eyes.
“How? Should I stop the car and ask you what you are following me for? Or?”
Paige wanted to get out of his arms.
But Martin was holding her. For some reason, the uneasiness and anxiety from just now completely disappeared after he held her
“Martin, you are getting more and more excessive!”
He held her hand yesterday, and now he dared to hug her!
“I really want to hug you. What should I do?”
Martin looked at her seriously and affectionately. Without waiting for her to agree, he reached out and hugged her again. “Just for a while.”
Paige didn’t speak.
“Who is he?”
Martin’s chin gently stroked her shoulder, the jealousy in his words obvious
Rhys, who was in the front row, felt goosebumps all over his body. So you are like this, Mr. Stowe. When you act like a spoiled child, no one can resist it.
Paige i heart also softened. “An elder “
“Are you close?”
“What do you think?*
“You didn’t place food for me yesterday,” Martin said.
“Are you so old that you can’t move your hand?”
He was actually jealous of an old man!
“You do it for me next time.”
Paige was speechless. She did not expect Martin would be so childish. “Can you let go?”
“If you agree, I will let go.”
“OK”
Martin let go of her and held her hand.
Paige rolled her eyes.
In the BMW outside the hotel.
Abbigail and Davon stared with their eyes wide open. They could not believe that after Paige went to the hotel to serve the old man, she got into another luxury car! The license plate of this car looked very powerful. What kind of big shot would be inside?
“I didn’t expect Paige would be so self-indulgent.
Looking at the luxury car driving away, Davon was really angry. Rather than letting those old men enjoy it, it was better for Paige to have her first s*x with him! At least he was young and strong.
Rhys dr*ve the car to Paige’s company, but Paige still did not get off.
Her hand was still held by someone unwilling to let go.
Tm going to be late!”
On the first day of work, she didn’t want to give her staff a bad impression.
However, Martin kept holding her hand. “I will pick you up after work.”
“I have my own car”
“How about Rhys drive you home?”
“No need!”
Paige wanted to withdraw her hand, but Martin held it even tighter
I will send you to and from work.
“No need
I can drive your car”
Paige was speechless.
“There will be a thunderstorm these two days. It is not safe for you to drive alone.”
“I really don’t need it!”
“Shall I go up and have a look?”
Paige looked at him helplessly. “I am going to work.”
“We can also talk about cooperation.”
Paige rolled her eyes. She did not want to connect with such a top consortium on the first day of work. That was clearly pulling strings. Everyone could tell that.
“Let’s have dinner together”
“I have an appointment. I will take a rain check,” Paige said helplessly.
Martin did not expect that she would have so many appointments. “Then tomorrow?”
“OK”
“From today on, let me send you to and from work.
Paige looked into his eyes with a slight warning. “Don’t push your luck.”
“Just one week.”
Martin retreated to advance.
Paige looked at the time. She was really going to be late. She could only grit her teeth and agree, “OK.”
“Leave this week for me. Don’t spend it with others.”
‘Got it”
Paige finally pulled her hand back, got out of the car, and entered the company
Rhys looked at Martin in the rearview mirror. There was a smile on Martin’s face.
Rhys was shocked.
Was this really Martin?
This was too abnormal!
He had served Martin for fourteen years since he was eight, and this was the first time he saw Martin pestering a girl!
As soon as Paige stepped into the company, her mobile phone vibrated.
“Ms. Tate, it’s me.”
It was Rylan calling, the person in charge of Pai Group business in America. “Recently, there are a few investment projects that need your opinion. I will bring them to you tonight and also show you the various reports of this season.”
“OK
“See you tonight.” Paige entered the elevator.
Not long after hanging up the phone, the phone vibrated again. Paige looked at it and saw that it was Larry
Frey calling.
“Paige, how have you met your family recently?”
“Larry”
Paige entered the office and made herself a cup of tea. “Not bad. The family is good. How do you have time to call me today?”
Chapter 48
Is the Honored Guest Paige?
“I miss you. Also, the top three competitors of this year’s piano competition are selected by them. They said this year’s works were not up to much. I will send it to you.”
“OK.”
Paige was also one of the top judges, but she rarely participated in the selection. The people below were responsible for it.
There was a piano competition in America every year, but fewer people participated this year. They all went abroad to participate in international competitions.
“The first place got the first place mainly because of the fame of his family. His other works are average. For the second place, it was a pity. The first half of the show was ordinary, and the latter part was a little bad, The climax part was not bad, but it felt that there were too many things added! It was superfluous! The third place, well, it was OK to not say it…”
“OK, I will listen.”
Although Paige did not participate in the selection, she had to listen to it and know what stage it was on and what talents there were this year.
When she opened the audio sent by Larry, she found Patricia’s name on it.
Did Patricia take first place?
The tune sounded really ordinary.
The second place was, well, Abbigail.
This tune sounded so familiar.
The corners of Paige’s lips curled into a sneer. She turned off the computer and stopped listening.
On the other side.
Tyrell was sitting in the first-floor lounge of Pai Group, looking straight in the direction of the elevator. He waited from morning until noon, and Rylan still hadn’t appeared. Tyrell endured his hunger and kept waiting.
He had been waiting too long. He was so hungry.
No one invited him upstairs, and not even poured him a cup of water!
He finally went to the front desk and carefully put on a smile. “Excuse me, can I know if Mr. Wager has finished his meeting?”
From morning until now. It was impossible for a meeting to last so long!
“Sorry, Mr. Wager is busy. You can come here another day!”
The receptionist was not as enthusiastic as before. She was indifferent.
Tyrell asked politely. “Can you make an exception? Please ask me. I have been waiting since morning.”
As soon as the receptionist finished speaking, she saw Rylan walk out of the elevator She hurriedly stood up and nodded respectfully with the other colleagues. “Hello, Mr. Wager!” “Mr. Wager, it’s me… Tyrell finally saw the familiar figure and could not wait to get closer
But Abel reached out to stop him. “Sorry, Mr. Wager has a very important appointment to attend.”
“Give me three minutes. I want to talk to Mr. Wager Tyrell tried to get closer
“Sorry, Mr. Wager is really in a hurry.”
“Mr Lawton, can you tell me why Mr Wager stops working with us?”
Tyrell couldn’t care so much even with so many people absent. He quietly stuffed to Abel’s hand the bank card that had been planned to give to Paige.
“Mr Tate, you must not do this!”
Abel hurriedly pushed the card to him,
Tyrell insisted on stuffing the card into Abel’s hand.
As a result, the card fell to the ground. Many people saw it
“Mr. Tate, you are openly bribing me. You will make me lose my job!”
Abel was furious.
Abel hurriedly shook off Tyrell’s hand and followed Rylan, as if Abel could not wait to cut ties with Tyrell
“Mr Lawton, wait for me. Tyrell could not care about his sorry state. He picked up the card on the ground and chased after them. Seeing them get in the car, Tyrell hurriedly stopped a taxi. “Follow the car in front.”
In the private room of No. 9 Restaurant.
Paige had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Rylan in a formal suit, Paige could not help but joke, “Now you are more and more like a president.”
“Ms. Tate, you are making fun of me again.”
After Rylan entered the room, he put the reports aside and took out the greeting gift first. “These are the tea leaves from a one-thousand-year-old ancient tree in the East. It is specially taken for you.” “You are talking like I’m old!”
“Let’s eat first.” Paige took the gift.
Tyrell finally arrived at No. 9 Restaurant. After asking around, he found out that Rylan went to the private room on the second floor. As soon as he went up, he saw Abel guarding the door of the first private room.
Abel also saw him. He did not expect Tyrell would be so stubborn. Abel’s first reaction was that Tyrell wanted to break into the private room, so Abel immediately stood in front of the door to stop him. “Mr. Lawton!”
Tyrell went in front of him with an ingratiating smile. “You misunderstood. I didn’t intend to go in. I just wanted to wait for Mr. Wager to finish talking and meet me. I have something to say to him.” “Mr Wager has nothing to say.”
“How could that be?”
“We cooperated so well in the past!” Tyrell kept smiling.
Abel snorted.
If not for Ms. Tate, who would work with a small company like yours?
Moreover, the previous cooperation was not pleasant!
“Abel, can you tell me the background of the person Mr. Wager is meeting with?”
Tyrell said with a flattering smile.
But Abel said coldly. “No.”
“Mr. Lawton.
Tyrell still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Abel coldly. “Mr. Wager won’t see you. Mr. Tate, please go back!”
Tyrell didn’t get angry. He just stood at the door and waited. After a while, the waiter went in to serve the dishes. Tyrell poked his head out to see the situation inside. Although Abel tried his best to block it, the sharp-eyed Tyrell still saw a familiar figure!
Paige?
Why was she inside?
Was she the person that Rylan was in a hurry to meet?
How was that possible?
After a while, the waiter went in to serve the dishes again. Tyrell looked carefully and saw that the person was indeed Paige!
The key was that the always serious and indifferent Rylan was actually respectful of Paige.
How is that possible?
“That, that. Isn’t that Paige?”
After the door of the private room was closed, Tyrell looked at Abel in shock, but Abel was already used to it and ignored his words.
Tyrell was shocked. He remembered that the company cooperation was interrupted for no reason by people, and one of them was Rylan. Was this matter related to Paige?
What was the relationship between Paige and Rylan?
He suddenly realized something. Paige, Pai Group.
Were Paige and Pai Group related?
Tyrell breathed violently. He could not believe this guess at all. No, that was impossible. How could Paige. have such great abilities?
The fact must be that they happened to have similar names.
But just now, Rylan was indeed very polite to Paige, as if he was trying to please her
The more Tyrell thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. After waiting outside the box for a long time, he found that Abel suddenly left.
He rushed forward and twisted the door handle!
The people inside had already finished eating and left through another passage.
He did not expect that there would be another passage in this box!
He had to ask Paige and find out what was going on!
Chapter 49
After seeing Rylan, Paige was driving home when she suddenly received a phone call. Seeing the familiar number on the screen, she pressed the button on the steering wheel and rejected it directly But Tyrell seemed unwilling to give up and called again and again.
“What?”
Finally, Paige picked up the phone impatiently and said grumpily.
“Paige… I’ll make it short. I saw you have dinner with the boss of Pai Group tonight. So you know each other?”
“What’s it to do with you?”
Paige did not expect that he would call to ask such a boring question. She was ready to hang up.
“Paige, tell Dad the truth. Does Rylan like you? Is he pursuing you?”
Paige was lost for words.
“You didn’t ask him to make trouble for our company, did you?”
Paige was utterly speechless.
“In fact, it is a good thing that you can find such a good man, but you need your family to look respectable, right?”
“What do you mean? Paige asked with coldness in her eyes.
“Your biological parents are in the countryside. It’s such a disgr*ce! But I am not. Think about it. I’m the richest man in Dolton, and I’ll prepare your dowry. Then you can marry proudly, isn’t it nice?” Paige sneered, “What do you want to do?”
“I just want you to introduce me to Rylan and let us meet so that we can cooperate again…”
“No way.”
Just as Paige was about to hang up, she heard Tyrell plead, “Paige, I have at least raised you for eighteen years! Are you really not helping me out? Now the company is in a crisis!” “What’s it to do with me?”
Paige said indifferently, “I don’t know where you got the cheeks to say this to me. The one who raised me was my grandmother. Have you given us a cent these years? Have you come back once to see me?” Every winter and summer vacation, she was sent to a group of old men to study this and that, and her so-called parents had never found out about it these years!
It could be imagined how rarely they came home!
“I’ve been busy making money, and I’ve no other choice…”
Paige ended the call and didn’t want to waste time with him.
“How is it? What did that *say?”
Lindsey, who was waiting nearby, saw Tyrell looking frustrated after the call. She had a guess. “She said no?”
Tve told you! Treat her better! Don’t make things too ug*y! But you didn’t listen. See?”
Tyrell sighed. He didn’t know what else he could do.
Lindsey felt angry. “It’s not like this is the only way out! We can’t use that *, but we have Abbigail. And that VIP ward! It must be the Elinor family who helped get it. Tomorrow night, we will invite the Elinor family to eat outside and talk to them about the crisis. Besides Pai Group, aren’t there two other companies that refused to collaborate with us? These two companies are close to the Elinor family. Let’s ask the Elinor family to help us…”
“It seems this is our only choice now.”
Thinking that they could turn to the Elinor family. Tyrell was in a better mood. “Someone, bring Abbigail down.”
He had something to say. Just then, Abbigail ran down the stairs and said happily Dad, M*m, I got second place for my piano piece!”
“What?”
Tyrell and Lindsey did not expect their daughter would be so outstanding. Wasn’t she raised by a cleaner? Why could she play the piano and even win an award?
Abbigail hurriedly showed them the phone screen. “Look, this is the ranking! Patricia, the girl from the Lusk family, got first place and I got second place!”
“You are second only to the daughter of the richest man!”
Lindsey was too proud of her daughter and couldn’t help but turn her head and say. “Tyrell, this is a good opportunity…”
Tyrell agreed. “Abbigail, with the second place you got, do you think you can get Davon and his family out for a meal?”
“Should I even invite his parents?”
Abbigail was a little surprised.
Tyrell told her about the company’s crisis. Unexpectedly, she patted her chest and said, “M*m, Dad, leave this to me!”
“Good kid!”
When Paige returned home, she found that there were a lot of people in the living room, and all of them were complimenting Patricia.
‘Ms. Lusk, you are awesome! You got first place in the piano competition!”
“I am really glad that I am a maid in this family I can listen to such elegant music every day and be influenced by it…”
“Ms. Lusk’s music is so wonderful!”
Danica was the first to notice that Paige had come back. She immediately went forward. “Darling, welcome home. It’s your first day at work today. Is it tiring? Did your colleagues pick on you?”
‘Ms. Tate is back?”
“People in the company are all saying that the new director is very amazing and very capable! They don’t know that the person they are talking about is my baby daughter! Haha.
Seeing that everyone left her and gathered around Paige, Patricia was dissatisfied. She walked over gracefully
“Paige, welcome back.”
She put on an elegant smile. “How about the whole family go out and have a meal together tomorrow? We will celebrate Paige’s officially taking over the company and also Paige’s coming back home! How is it?”
She did not mention anything about her winning the first prize, deliberately making people think that she always put Paige before herself.
“During the two days after Paige comes back, we did not hang out with her Instead, we make her go to work and suffer So, let’s eat outside.”
Patricia took Danica’s arm and also Donald’s and said sweetly, “OK, Dad, M*m?”
Paige was speechless.
“I think it’s a good idea.”
Danica looked at Donald. Donald also nodded. “Paige, what do you think?”
“Anything you say. Paige did not want to be a killjoy to her parents. Seeing that they were happily making reservations at a restaurant, she casually went upstairs, washed up, and went to bed!
The next day. Martin sent her to work. On the way, he learned that she was having a family dinner at night, and he said jealously, “Didn’t you promise to give me the rest of your time?” Paige paused. “I forgot.”
When she made this promise last night, she really didn’t expect that he would…
“You won’t take me to the family dinner?”
“Next time.”
“Then you have to make it up to me twice as much.”
Martin took her hand. “Since we’re not having dinner together, let’s eat lunch together”
“Alright.”
After a day of work, Paige was sent to the Wavyhill Restaurant by Martin. “Alright, you don’t have to pick me up later I’ll take my parents’ car back.”
Then call me when you get home.”
“OK.”
Meanwhile.
Tyrell booked a private room in Wavyhill Restaurant with his best efforts. Although it was just an entry-level restaurant, it was impossible to book a private room there if he wasn’t the richest man in Dolton! Greta, Davon’s m*m, did not like Abbigail because the latter was brought up by a cleaner since she was a kid. And Greta felt Abbigail reeked of poverty. Even though Abbigail was wearing expensive and fancy clothes, they could not hide the insecurity and sensitivity that occasionally flashed through her eyes.
Today, when Greta heard that Abbigail had won the second prize in the piano competition, her expression softened a little. However, after hearing Tyrell’s request after he beat around the bush for quite a while, Greta wiped her mo*th with a napkin. “Mr Tate, I’m afraid we can’t do you this favor.
Chapter 50
“What?”
Tyrell thought he had heard wrong.
Greta said arrogantly. “The two companies have declared that whoever dares to help you will end up like you.”
It was impossible for Greta to put everything the Elinor family had at risk just for the sake of the girl her son liked at present and the shameful engagement!
Abbigail did not expect Greta would reject them so flatly. She clenched her fists under the table.
She felt humiliated!
“M*m!” Davon shouted in a low voice.
lan Elinor, Davon’s dad, spoke to ease the tension, “We have to think about this carefully Let’s eat first. The dishes are cold We’ll talk later!”
“Yes, yes. ” Tyrell was an old fox. He clinked his glass with lan s. “I forgot to thank you for getting Cassie a VIP ward and asking the doctor to take good care of her
lan replied, “I didn’t. It’s very hard to get a VIP ward in Farwen Hospital. There’s no way for us to get one. We don’t know any higher-ups in the hospital”
The Tate family was dumbfounded. Then who got Cassie that ward? Who told the doctor to take good care of her?
Suddenly and simultaneously. Tyrell and Lindsey thought of what Colin had said So it really was Paige?
Impossible!
Meanwhile…
Paige had just finished the meal with her parents and was about to leave when her phone buzzed. There was something she had to take care of
“M*m, Dad, you go first. I’m going to the bathroom. I’ll be back soon.”
“OK, take your time. There’s no hurry!”
After she left, Danica whispered to Bonnie, “Stay and wait for her Keep her company!”
“Yes, Mrs. Lusk.”
Bonnie waited in the private room. After a while, she saw Paige walk out of the bathroom. She went forward and said respectfully, “Ms. Lusk, your parents’ car is waiting for you outside!” “OK, let’s go.”
Paige was typing something on her phone as she walked forward.
She had just taken a few steps out of the private room when several people suddenly came out from the corner Bonnie hurriedly grabbed her clothes. Ms. Lusk, be careful!”
The few people who came out were the Elinor family and the Tate family.
When Lindsey saw Paige come out of the best private room and be called “Ms. Lusk by this decently dressed old *, Lindsey was stunned.
“Wait.”Lindsey was bemused. She pointed at Paige and asked Bonnie, “What did you call her just now? Is she your young mistress?” “Who are you?”
Bonnie’s eyes were full of vigilance. These people obviously weren’t their friends.
How she called her young mistress was none of their business.
Abbigail, though stunned, explained with an awkward smile, Paige grows up in our family”
“Oh, you are Ms. Lusk’s adoptive parents?”
Realization suddenly dawned on Bonnie. She did not know how this group of people had bullied Paige in the past. Instead, she said politely. “My master and mistress talked about you a few days ago. They wondered why you didn’t accept those gifts, the 500 million dollars in cash.
“You! What are you talking about?”
Lindsey was stunned and thought that she had heard wrong
“The thank you gift that a driver sent to you on behalf of our master and madam that day! Those thirty shops are at the best locations in the city center. And those thirty villas. They have the finest views. And the 500 million dollars in cash…”
The Elinor family and Tate family were stunned. What was this old saying? Why couldn’t they understand a single word?
“Also, the one-thousand-year-old treasures, which take so much more than just money to buy. They are all from my master and mistress! But you didn’t accept them. You’re so dignified!” When Lindsey heard this, she was mind-blown!
Those tr*shy gift boxes that day actually contained so many precious things? Then, why didn’t that driver tell them?
Wait Weren’t Paige’s biological parents living in a poor rural area?
Why did her parents sound richer than them?
“You Aren’t your master and mistress from Hidalgo County…”
“Hidalgo County is the birthplace of my master and mistress. We are now…”
Seeing that Bonnie wanted to continue, Paige cut in, “Let’s go. Don’t waste words with them.”
Bonnie looked at Paige’s face. It seemed Paige did not like these people.
Did they not get along well before?
Thinking of this possibility, Bonnie was less nice to them. And she followed Paige.
“Wait, don’t go.”
Lindsey tried to catch up with them and ask more questions. Then she saw Ryker, the driver who sent them the gifts, bent over to open the car door for Paige
It was a limousine, with a green color. It had just been in the news two days ago. It was specially made by the Rolls-Royce company for a rich man!
There was only one in the world!
It was worth 50 million dollars!
Before they could see the other people in the car clearly, the limousine dr*ve off. The Tate family and the Elinor family looked at each other, still in shock.
The clothes and shoes that the old *was wearing were worth thousands of dollars altogether!
And what kind of family could afford such a car…
Lindsey did not dare to think further Tyrell also had a complicated expression on his face!
“Mrs. Tate, you guys have missed a lot this time.”
After this meaningful parting shot, Greta left in her high heels with a mocking smile.
“I’m really sorry, Lindsey. My wife is not in a good mood today. I’ll take her home now. “lan grabbed his son’s arm and did not forget etiquette. “Let’s meet again next time!”
The Tate family looked like *, mostly because of Paige. They did not take Greta’s attitude seriously and hurriedly headed home after replying to lan curtly.
In the limousine, Danica asked with concern, “Paige, do you have a stomachache? Is the food tonight not fresh enough? Or is it something else?” “Paige is probably not used to delicacies. Give her more time.”
Hearing what Patricia said, Bonnie hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Lusk, just now, we met Ms. Lusk’s adoptive parents, so we were held up a little.” “You met Tyrell and Lindsey?”
Danica was a little surprised.
“Mrs. Lusk, you know them?” Bonnie was also surprised.
She even knew their names!
Ha!
Danica was furious at the mention of them.
Previously, when she heard the driver Ryker say that the Tate family didn’t accept any of the gifts they sent. over, she thought it was because they were dignified people!
However, after seeing the cheap clothes on her precious daughter, they got people to investigate and found. out that their precious daughter had been treated badly by the Tate family since she was little!
Neither her dad nor her m*m cared about her. If Cassie had not been protecting her…
Because she liked Cassie, Danica left the Tate family alone for the time being. But she didn’t expect her daughter would meet them today, which was such a bummer!
“In the future, you don’t have to be polite to them when you see them. And don’t let them know how rich we are.”
The information showed that the Tate family was greedy and snobbish. If they showed their wealth, the Tate family would definitely pester them endlessly!
