Chapter 161
Ernesto felt that it was necessary to go there. Maybe Martin
really took a fancy to his daughter’s beauty…
Taking a closer look, his daughter was indeed pretty. He went too far just now and her face had been swollen.
Half an hour later. The Stowe family’s car was parked in front of a deserted warehouse in the suburbs.
Julia was a little scared and grabbed her husband’s clothes tightly. “Why do they want to meet us in such a desolate place? I have a bad feeling…”
“You know nothing!” Ernesto rolled his eyes at her and took her hand away. “Don’t wrinkle my clothes. I am going to talk with Mr. Stowe!”
“Ernesto, let’s go back…”
“Women have short vision! Sometimes, men like playing something different! What do you know?” Ernesto looked up and down at the place in front of him.
Jessie could not wait to get out of the car.
On the way, she deliberately put on a young girl’s makeup.
At this time, she was full of confidence. She felt that her appearance could definitely seduce Martin. Before entering the warehouse, she even deliberately took off one side of her shoulder strap, revealing half of her body.
Ernesto glared at his wife as if to say that his daughter was better than hers!
After entering the warehouse, they found that this place. It was frighteningly empty. Martin was sitting on a single chair. Rhys was standing next to him. The rest of the place was empty.
The light coming through the windows from high above was gloomy.
“Mr. Stowe, please save me…” Jessie knelt down in front of Martin and cried, “I accidentally did something wrong and implicated my family… As long as you save me, I can agree to any conditions!”
“Oh?” The corners of Martin’s lips curled up in a ruthless arc. “Any conditions?”
Jessie thought that Martin was really interested in her, so she quickly nodded. “Yes, of course, I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will never go back on my word.”
Ernesto, who was at the side, bowed and looked respectful, and afraid, “I apologize for my daughter. Mr. Stowe, please teach her a lesson for me.”
He wished Martin would fuck Jessie here. After the matter is. done, not only will he be able to keep his wealth, but also Jessie will become Martin’s lover.
That was killing two birds with one stone.
Martin waved his hand. Rhys pulled out a knife and threw it in front of Jessie.
Clank! People of the Robins family were stunned when they saw this shining knife, not knowing why…
Did Martin want to play something exciting?
“Hurt your the same hand that you hurt her.” Martin’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
The family of three finally realized that he was referring to Paige.
Martin was here to stand up for Paige.
“Mr. Stowe…” Ernesto was already trembling in fear, “Ms. Paige is your…”
“My fiancée,” Martin said slowly.
Ernesto was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was so scared that he couldn’t speak.
Julia was even more frightened because her face was pale. Paige is Martin’s fiancée? It is over. The Robins family was not only going bankrupt this time!
“You hurt her last time, and today you bullied her again…” The coldness in Martin’s eyes seemed to come from hell. “Do you think she has no backer?”
When Ernesto heard this, he fiercely slapped Jessie twice. “You rebellious girl! What did you do to Ms. Paige last time? Do you want to die?”
Julia was so scared that she didn’t dare to protect her daughter anymore. She watched her husband slap her daughter seven or eight times.
“Dad, Dad, stop hitting me…” Jessie cried, her makeup
completely ruined, “Last time on my uncle’s death
anniversary, Paige, she… stood up for Mari, I… I am sorry. It was my mistake…”
“You idiot!” Ernesto slapped her two more times.
Jessie finally realized why so many bodyguards resigned that day. It turned out that it was because of Martin…
It is over, what should I do?
Offending Martin was much scarier than offending Hernan!
“Mr. Robins.” Martin’s voice and eyes were both as cold as water. “She hurt my fiancée twice. Is it too much to ask for one hand of your daughter?”
Ernesto was so afraid. “Not too much, not too much. You rebellious girl, what are you still standing there for? Do you want me to help you?”
“Ernesto? Mr. Stowe, I beg you. Jessie is still young. We can leave Chicago and never come back…” Julia begged.
“You want to leave after injuring Ms. Paige? Dream on!” Rhys said coldly, “You only have 30 seconds.”
Jessie desperately cried, shook her head, and looked at the knife on the ground, not daring to move.
The timer started.
Ernesto hardened his heart, picked up the knife, and walked step by step toward his daughter. “You shouldn’t have touched Mr. Stowe’s woman!”
“Ernesto…”
“Dad, don’t…”
The knife went down, Jessie’s right wrist was full of blood,
and her bones were exposed…
“Ah!”
The screams were heart-wrenching and echoed in the warehouse.
Julia rushed over and held her injured daughter. Her heart ached.
Ernesto wiped the blood on the knife with his clothes and handed the knife forward respectfully and timidly. “Mr. Stowe, it’s clean. Do you think this is okay? Can this matter be over?”
“Why are you speaking like Mr. Stowe is threatening you to hurt your daughter?”
Hearing Rhys’ words, Ernesto bowed even lower, “No, no, no. My daughter accidentally scratched herself. It has nothing to do with Mr. Stowe.”
“Last night, there were twenty-two people who bullied my fiancée. Bring them in.” Martin’s voice was filled with displeasure.
The twenty-two thugs from last night had already been beaten badly. They almost died.
Seeing the people she had hired become like this, Jessie was
so scared that her entire body trembled. The intense pain from the wounds almost made her faint.
“How many of our people are there?” Martin softly asked
Rhys, who was behind him.
“Twenty-two, Mr. Stowe,” replied Rhys respectfully.
“Whether or not you can leave this place alive will depend on your own luck.” Martin stood up and left. Rhys gave them a cold look and followed behind Martin.
Only then did Ernesto realize that Martin wanted to use their trick to punish them.
Last night, his daughter had made twenty-two hooligans bully Paige, so today, Martin asked his twenty-two subordinates to deal with them.
But they had been used to rich life. They wouldn’t possibly defeat Martin’s people.
In addition to the twenty-two hooligans on the ground who almost died… How could they possibly win?
The door to the warehouse opened, and a huge light shone in from outside.
Martin and Rhys walked out, and the twenty-two subordinates walked in…
“Mr. Stowe, please, we beg you…” Just as Ernesto knelt down, the door to the warehouse closed mercilessly…
Not long after, heart-wrenching screams came from the warehouse….
“Mr. Robins.” Martin’s voice and eyes were both as cold as water. “She hurt my fiancée twice. Is it too much to ask for one hand of your daughter?”
Ernesto was so afraid. “Not too much, not too much. You rebellious girl, what are you still standing there for? Do you want me to help you?”
“Ernesto? Mr. Stowe, I beg you. Jessie is still young. We can leave Chicago and never come back…” Julia begged.
“You want to leave after injuring Ms. Paige? Dream on!” Rhys said coldly, “You only have 30 seconds.”
Jessie desperately cried, shook her head, and looked at the knife on the ground, not daring to move.
The timer started.
Ernesto hardened his heart, picked up the knife, and walked step by step toward his daughter. “You shouldn’t have touched Mr. Stowe’s woman!”
“Ernesto…”
“Dad, don’t…”
The knife went down, Jessie’s right wrist was full of blood,
and her bones were exposed…
“Ah!”
The screams were heart-wrenching and echoed in the warehouse.
Julia rushed over and held her injured daughter. Her heart ached.
Ernesto wiped the blood on the knife with his clothes and handed the knife forward respectfully and timidly. “Mr. Stowe, it’s clean. Do you think this is okay? Can this matter be over?”
“Why are you speaking like Mr. Stowe is threatening you to hurt your daughter?”

Martin and Rhys walked out, and the twenty-two subordinates walked in…

Not long after, heart-wrenching screams came from the warehouse….
Chapter 162
Although he misses Ms. Paige very much, he doesn’t come in…
Martin said gently, “Bonnie, there is medicine in the bag. Paige’s hand is injured. Can you apply some medicine to her later?”
“Is Ms. Paige’s hand injured?” Bonnie suddenly remembered. No wonder Ms. Paige has been eating with her left hand tonight!
Everyone knew that Ms. Paige was very skilled at using her left and right hands. So no one was surprised that she held the fork with her left hand.
But how did Mr. Stowe know this?
“Don’t worry. I will apply medicine to Ms. Paige later.”
“Thank you.
“You are welcome… You’re very considerate! Please pay attention to safety on the way home.”
When Bonnie brought the things into the living room, Donald happened to see this. When he asked Bonnie what happened, Bonnie told him that Martin had brought food for them.
Dozens of exquisite boxes were placed all over the dining table.
Paige was speechless.
Why did he bring so much food?
Patricia was very jealous. She heard that Martin went abroad
yesterday, but she didn’t expect that he would bring Paige food when he returned home today.
When Patricia saw the logo on the box, she knew that the food was very expensive.
Although Paige can play the piano and design clothes, I don’t think she is great!
Why is Martin so concerned about her?
“Ms. Paige, let me take a look at your hand.”
As soon as Bonnie wanted to see the wound on Paige’s hand, Paige took her hand back.
“This is the medicine that Mr. Stowe prepared for you. He instructed me to apply it for you…” Bonnie took out the medicine from the bag.
There was also a note written by Martin, and it said what medicine to use and how to apply it.
Martin wrote down the whole medication process…
Then Donald and Danica knew that Paige’s hand was injured. They thought that Martin was careful and cared about Paige’s injury.
“Paige, what happened? When did you get hurt?”
“Your hand is swollen. Did you fall or be bullied?”
Paige withdrew her hand. “It’s nothing. I was injured by accident.”
Because the video of the competition was not leaked, Donald and Danica did not know that Paige was injured.
In addition, Paige usually kept things to herself, so no one noticed that she was injured.
“Why didn’t Hernan tell us?
“I’ll call Dr. Ashton now.”
Seeing Donald pick up his mobile phone, Paige said, “No need. Martin has brought the medicine for me.”
These medicines seemed very rare and expensive and couldn’t be bought in ordinary pharmacies.
Martin can’t always have these medicines in his car.
Paige guessed that it might be that on Martin’s way here, he first went home to get these medicines, and then sent them to her.
“Let’s enjoy this food first.” Paige took the plates and forks to Donald and Danica, then sat down and took the fork with her left hand.
Patricia was jealous. She sat down, smiled sweetly, and said, “Martin has brought so much food. Let’s share it together. Paige, Martin is so good to you! You are so happy!”
“Since you know he is my fiancé, you can’t call him that way,” Paige said, eating the delicious food, and said casually.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Patricia bit her lower lip and said pitifully, “What do you mean? I don’t understand…”
“Didn’t you tell everyone that Martin is your fiancé?” Paige looked at Patricia. “Your friend believes this, and today she has bothered me.”
Patricia was shocked. “Who? She must have misunderstood something! Who is she? I will call her now.”
“Okay.” Paige did not stop Patricia and raised her eyebrows. “She comes from the Garner family.”
Olivia?
Donald and Danica were about to say something, but Patricia hurriedly said, “How could she do this to you? Martin has nothing to do with me… Maybe she thinks that
Martin should be with me… She shouldn’t have done such a thing to you! I will call her now!”
Amily hurriedly said, “Ms. Patricia, it is so late. Don’t disturb Ms. Garner…”
Chapter 163
“She should not have gone to bed.” Danica suddenly understood. No wonder Paige was angry when she called me this morning. It turns out that Olivia was looking for trouble with her.
Did the Garner family’s designer also participate in the design competition?
Thinking of this, Donald asked angrily, “Is your hand injury related to her? If she hurts you, I’ll ask her to apologize to you!”
“This has nothing to do with other people.” When Paige said this, she looked at Patricia and asked, “Just call her.”
Patricia had no choice but to take out her mobile phone. If she called Olivia, her lies would be exposed.
When Patricia thought this, she was embarrassed.
“Ms. Paige, Ms. Patricia has always treated you as her sister. You misunderstood her.”
Amily said, “For Ms. Patricia, you are the most important. She can’t spread rumors to hurt you and the relationship between you and her.”
Paige was speechless.
“You are new and may not know Ms. Patricia. But for the past eighteen years, Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk have known Ms. Patricia well.”
“How can you say that? You’ll hurt Ms. Patricia and destroy family harmony. And Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk will be embarrassed!”
“If Ms. Patricia has to choose between you and Mr. Stowe, she will definitely choose you!”
“You really misunderstood, Ms. Patricia!”
Patricia’s eyes were filled with tears, looking even more innocent and pitiful.
Paige was speechless.
So is everything my fault?
Patricia did nothing wrong, right?
“Amily.” Danica reached out her hand to stop Amily from continuing. “I know Patricia very well, but Paige can’t lie without reason. I also know Olivia very well. Although she is arrogant, she is kind.”
When Amily and Patricia heard this, they were flustered.
“If Olivia knows that Paige is my biological daughter and that Paige and Martin love each other… If she knows Patricia’s identity, she will not find trouble with Paige.
Maybe Olivia doesn’t know that Patricia is my adopted daughter, and she doesn’t know Paige’s true identity.
So, did Patricia not tell Olivia the truth, or did Patricia intentionally hide it from her and mislead her? This is very important.
“If Olivia thinks that Paige destroyed the relationship between Patricia and Martin, what will she think of Paige?”
Olivia will think that Paige is shameless and scheming.
“This is going to be very bad. If Olivia misunderstood, quickly call her and explain it to her,” Danica said.
With tears in her eyes, Patricia said pitifully, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’ll call Olivia now.”
“Turn on hands-free. I’ll listen to what Olivia says.
“Mrs. Lusk?” When Amily heard this, she pretended to be surprised. “Don’t you believe in Ms. Patricia?” After Ms.
Paige returned home, you changed…”
Patricia cried bitterly.
“In the past 18 years, Paige has had no family and has suffered a lot. When she came home, I swore that I would protect her and wouldn’t let her get hurt!”
When Danica said this, she looked at Amily. “Over the past
eighteen years, we regarded Patricia as our biological daughter. Even if Paige came back, we also gave Patricia everything she wanted as before! I just want to make up for Paige! Did I do something wrong?”
Amily said hurriedly, “Mrs. Lusk, you misunderstood. Of course, you didn’t do anything wrong. What I mean is…”
“Since I know about this, I won’t let others insult my daughter! I have to know what happened. Call Olivia and turn on hands-free!”
I will soon know who is right and who is wrong.
Patricia had no choice but to cry and dial Olivia’s spare phone number.
Beep……
No one answered the phone after a long time.
Patricia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Olivia
has two mobile phones and two phone numbers…
“Olivia should be asleep. I will call her again.”
Patricia knew that Olivia rarely used this phone, so she was quite confident in making another call.
As Patricia thought, no one answered the phone.
“Ms. Garner should be asleep…” Amily secretly sighed in relief; fortunately, Ms. Garner did not pick up, otherwise, Ms. Patricia would have been exposed!
Danica took a look at the clock. It was only ten o’clock in the evening. She didn’t think Olivia could go to bed so early.
“Give Olivia a voice call.”
When Patricia heard this, she was stunned. A voice call?
Although Olivia had two mobile phone numbers, she would answer the voice call. If Patricia called her, Patricia would be exposed.
“I know Olivia’s Line account…” Danica suddenly
remembered. She took out her phone and was about to give Olivia a voice call.
Patricia was flustered. I can’t let Mom give Olivia a voice call!
“Mom, I’ll call her…” Patricia said hurriedly.
Patricia had no choice but to give Olivia a voice call. In a few seconds, Olivia answered.
“Patricia? You haven’t gone to bed yet?” Olivia said very excitedly.
“Olivia! Did you bother Paige today?”
Patricia did not wait for Olivia to answer and said, “I know you did it for me, but Martin is already Paige’s fiancé! Don’t do this again. Paige has misunderstood me. Well, I’m going to hang up. I have to explain to Paige. Remember, don’t do this again…”
When Patricia finished speaking, she hung up the phone in a hurry.
Donald was speechless.
Danica didn’t know what to say.
And Paige was also speechless.
Olivia was stunned. What was going on? Why did Patricia
say that to me? Did Paige find trouble with her?
Patricia can’t tolerate Paige’s bullying. After all, Paige is just her relative.
Paige is just an assistant. Why should Patricia be afraid of her?
It must be because…
Olivia subconsciously touched her neck and remembered. That today at the competition, Paige hit her…
Patricia should have been threatened by Paige. This may be the reason why she called me.
I sent a message to Patricia, but she didn’t reply to me…
Thinking of this, Olivia called Patricia back. She worried about Patricia’s safety.
Just now, after Patricia hung up the phone, she turned off the phone.
Olivia could not get through to Patricia’s phone, so she could only leave a message to ask Patricia about what happened…
Seeing that Patricia did not reply, Olivia became even more anxious.
Patricia raised her eyes and said pitifully, “Paige, don’t worry. I won’t destroy the relationship between you and Martin. I know that he only loves you. Even if I like him, I know he won’t like me.”
Before Paige answered, Patricia stood up and said sadly, “Enjoy the food Martin brings. I don’t want you to misunderstand me again. I will go upstairs first…”
Chapter 164
With that, Patricia turned around innocently and pitifully. And she was about to leave.
At that moment, the phone in the living room rang. Bonnie picked it up and hurriedly walked to Danica with the phone. “Mrs. Lusk, here’s a call for you.”
Bonnie handed the phone to Danica and added, “It’s Ms. Garner on the phone.”
Patricia thought in surprise, Olivia?
It was too late for Patricia to take the phone away. She had already stepped out of the restaurant. She felt uneasy and anxious and could neither leave nor stay..
Danica took the phone and asked lovingly, “Olivia? What happened?”
“Mrs. Lusk, Patricia’s phone is off. I’m very worried about her. And I must tell you something about your relative, Paige. She…”
Olivia wanted to say that Paige had a propensity for violence…
But Danica naturally asked, “Oh, you mean my daughter,
Paige? What happened to her?”
“Your daughter?” At that time, Olivia froze. She was
stunned for a few seconds before asking, “Is Paige your daughter?”
“Yes.”
“Your biological daughter?”
“Yes.”
“So, she is Patricia’s…”
“Sister.”
“Why did Patricia say she was…
“What?”
Olivia asked subconsciously, “Isn’t Paige one of your relatives?”
“Did Patricia tell you that? Did she say that Paige is one of our relatives?”
At that, Patricia rushed to grab the phone. “Olivia! Why are you calling again? Why do you always talk about relatives? Don’t talk nonsense! We are busy. Don’t call to cause trouble!”
After hanging up the phone, Patricia hurriedly explained, “Mom, don’t listen to Olivia’s nonsense. She should have misheard. I never said that Paige is just one of our relatives…”
Patricia looked nervous and furious. Danica’s eyes then darkened. “Patricia, you have always been sensible and kind since you were young. You should know what to do next.”
“Mom… Don’t worry. I will tell all my friends that Paige and Martin are a perfect couple. I am just an adopted daughter…
“I will never snatch Martin from Paige. I will not take anything that belongs to Paige!
“Whether you believe it or not, Paige is the most important in my heart…
“Sorry for causing the misunderstanding. I’m really sorry!”
Patricia shed tears and took the opportunity to leave…
Paige had been eating while watching the show. Now she was full.
“Dad, Mom, please enjoy your meals. I’ll go upstairs.” Paige was going to leave.
Danica hurriedly held Paige back. “Paige… I’ll apply some medicine for you.”
“No. I can do it myself. I just got a slight injury.”
Paige did not take the slight injury seriously at all. But Danica insisted on asking her to sit down. According to the list made by Martin, Danica first applied some medicine to reduce the swelling and then applied some painkillers for Paige.
“Did Olivia bother you today? What did she say?” Danica wanted to learn about what had happened.
“She didn’t say anything.”
Paige added inwardly, she was cursing.
“Patricia seems to deliberately mislead Olivia. So, Olivia thought that you were just one of our relatives…”
Patricia’s behavior was not difficult to understand. After all, Patricia had been loved by the whole family for eighteen years.
She was the most favored daughter of the Lusk family.
However, one day, a girl suddenly came back and said that she was Donald and Danica’s biological daughter. Patricia was not related to the Lusk family…
No one could accept the sudden change…
Danica said, “Maybe Patricia wants to maintain her dignity in front of her friends… Or she doesn’t dare to tell others
before we reveal your identity to the public… In short, we let you feel wronged.”
“I don’t feel wronged.” Paige just couldn’t bear to see Patricia acting in front of her every day. Tonight, Paige just took the chance to fight back.
But Paige didn’t expect that Patricia would shed tears and pretend to be wronged…
Paige thought, Patricia is a complete actress.
Donald was beside them. He felt distressed and said, “After a while, your grandparents will be better. Let’s go to visit them together and then ask them to decide when to announce your identity.”
“There is no hurry.” Paige planned to go to the Triangle Area after a while. If her identity was revealed in advance, those people couldn’t hurt her, and they then would bother her family…
Although Donald and Danica were protected by many bodyguards, they were obviously no match for those people.
In case those people had eyes on the four elders in the family…
Paige thought about it and made a decision. In addition to the Triangle Area, she must deal with some other threats quickly…
When Patricia returned to her room, she cried her heart out. She was so angry and cursed, “Olivia is an idiot!”
Amily stroked Patricia’s back. “Ms. Garner is worried about you… Don’t be angry. You should be happy to have such a close friend.”
“I was almost ruined by her tonight!” Patricia sobbed. She remembered her parents’ cold expressions. She felt wronged and angry. “Mom and dad seem to believe in Paige and care more about Paige’s feelings… We lived happily together for eighteen years. Is it not comparable to a blood relationship? They said that they would treat me as their biological daughter…”
Patricia thought, however, they always support Paige and criticize me…
They are so prejudiced!
“Fortunately, Mr. Hernan went to rest and did not know what happened just now. Otherwise…”
When Amily said this, she could not help but remind Patricia, “Be careful in the future. Don’t leave any evidence
for that wretched girl. She is a gossip and likes to complain.”
Patricia agreed with the point of view.
“Last time, you wanted her to pick you up. And you went to see Mr. Killian Stowe together. But she didn’t agree. She even deliberately sulked and refused to eat lunch to attract Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk’s attention… She’s too despicable!”
Patricia had the same opinion and thought, Paige always plays tricks and appears cold. If she pleased me and got along well with me, we could be close sisters on the surface!
However, Paige didn’t give Patricia a good look and even gave her all kinds of disapproval…
Amily appeared fierce. “It’s time to let her suffer. Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk need to know that Paige is not as perfect as they imagined…”
Amily thought Paige could just play the piano and make some clothes. She isn’t superior to others at all….
Ms. Patricia is a real noble lady. Compared to Ms. Patricia, that wretched girl is nothing!
The next morning.
Paige finished her breakfast and was about to go to work. Hernan said, “I will drive you there.”.
At that, Patricia almost could not hold her fork.
She stood up and said, “No. Someone will drive me there.
Enjoy your meals. I will have dinner at home tonight.”
Hernan looked at Bonnie, and Bonnie hurriedly explained,
“It is Mr. Stowe. He comes to pick up Ms. Paige to and from work.”
Herman thought, Martin?
Danica then smiled, “Martin is very considerate. I heard that he gave Paige a pink diamond necklace from PQ Fashion.”
Chapter 165
Hernan was surprised.
He didn’t expect that the pink diamond that he wanted to give to Paige would be sent by Martin first.
“I’ll go meet him.”
Hernan had just left the main hall, even without walking out the door. Then he saw Martin holding Paige’s face and saying something affectionately from afar.
His eyes were filled with displeasure, then he quickened his pace. But the two had already gotten into the car and left before Hernan approached.
In Daybreak Clothing.
When Deon saw Paige, he immediately stepped forward and said, “Ms. Paige, you are finally here! So many orders! A lot of people want the clothes designed by Mariela at the competition. There are also some manufacturers who want to order thousands or tens of thousands of clothes at once!”
“Then what are you waiting for? Carve out a production line to increase production.”
As those clothes were designed by Mariela and the copyright was in their company, they could produce the clothes at will.
“Also, the clothes that Mariela had designed in the past were sold out in all the major shopping malls. They are all out of stock! Should we take the opportunity to produce more?”
Deon used his hand to block the elevator door. After Paige entered, he reached out and pressed the highest floor.
“Of course.” Paige made a prompt decision and said, “Let Mari come up with some new clothes. Strike while the iron is hot. Tell the company’s official website and online store to set up a special column for Mari. In addition, the headquarters said that they would give Mari ten times her monthly salary. Confirm it with them right now. Make sure Mari can get it from next month.”
“Ten, ten times…” Deon opened his eyes wide. Mariela’s salary was 1,500 dollars at present. Ten times was 15 thousand dollars?
This was too much!
“She won the national championship. 15 thousand dollars is nothing.”
At the competition venue that day, someone offered 20 thousand dollars and even 25 thousand dollars for Mariela to come to their company.
But Mariela did not agree.
“Oh, right, Ms. Paige. In the morning, a customer asked us if we authorized other shops to sell the new products designed by Mariela for this season.”
The elevator doors opened with a ding. Deon followed Paige and reported as they walked.
“Because the design style is very similar. The packaging box is exactly the same as ours in the past. It also has the trademark of our company, but the price is much lower than our previous price.
“At present, the shop has sold thousands of new products, but those new products are not from Mariela.
“I am worried that these products would implicate our company and affect Mariela’s reputation.
“What do you think…”
Paige pushed open the door of her office and said, “It’s nothing. Ask some trusted employees to pretend to be customers and order in their shop. Then you will know their delivery address and mobile phone number. Then call the police, and leave the rest to the police.”
Paige wouldn’t investigate this kind of trifle personally.
Anyway, with the basic information, the police could fix it.
“Yes, I will do it right away!”
After a while, Paige’s mobile phone rang.
“Boss, big news! David has revealed the scandal of his
family to the media reporters.”
“What scandal?” Paige sat in her office chair and turned on the computer.
“David said that many years ago, after his uncle John got into a car accident, his family robbed John’s company and drove Evelyn and Mariela out of the house.”
“They have done all kinds of evil. On the anniversary of John’s death, David and Jessie splashed oil on his grave and threw garbage to bully Evelyn and Mariela. After that, their family of four had a high fever and bad luck.”
“He also said that he dreamed of John every night. In his dream, John became a fierce ghost and pestered them without peace. His parents and Jessie could not bear to be disturbed. They were mentally weak and chose to commit suicide. He was the only one left. Therefore, he decided to give the company and the house back to Mariela to beg for the forgiveness of John.”
Paige raised her eyebrows. “Who believes this kind of news?”
“So many people. Everyone says that David and his family have suffered retribution, and they deserve it! At the same time, the public opinion is all on Mariela’s side. They say Mariela is such a strong girl that she could study hard in such an environment and win the championship. They all praise and support her!”
Paige knew that this news should be related to Hernan. Yesterday, Hernan gave the Robins family time to give back the things they had stolen from the original owner.
It should be David who came up with the idea himself. It was not forced by Hernan.
But the cause of death of Ernesto, his wife, and Jessie was definitely not as simple as suicide!
“I have checked. Ernesto, his wife, Jessie, and the 22 gangsters who attacked you that night suddenly disappeared from this world. There is no news about them.
There was only one person in the world who could do this.
Jairo and Paige thought of the same person at the same time: Martin.
Paige remembered that last night, Martin said that he was in an emergency temporarily. Did he go out with her?
As she thought of this, her eyes deepened a little.
The Design Department.
Many people surrounded Mariela and chatted nonstop.
“Mari, you actually won the National Championship. You’re amazing!”
“You’re the pride of our company!”
“You’re the daughter of the Robins family? You never told us before! You hid too deeply!”
“You are the owner of the Robins family’s garment company, right?”
“I didn’t expect Jessie and the others to be so bad. They stole all your property and even bullied you! Fortunately, your father helped you in your dreams! Otherwise, this group of heartless people would bully you for a long time. I can’t imagine how much pain you will suffer!”
Mariela knew that it was not her father, but Paige and
Hernan helped her. Thus, she had profound gratitude for them.
“Mari, what do you plan to do next?”
“You are the national champion, and Ernesto has returned the company to you. Have you ever thought about operating the company alone?”
“Take over the company and establish your own brand.”
“Mari, don’t forget me when you are successful in the future!”
“If one day Ms. Paige fires me, you have to take me in!”
Mariela looked at the colleagues around her and smiled, “I have this day because of Ms. Paige’s guidance and help. I will not leave here. My current ability is not enough to manage a company, so I will stay and learn more from Ms. Paige.”
“What about your company?” everyone asked.
“Those experienced seniors would run the company. If there is any problem, I will ask Ms. Paige.” Mariela checked the time. “Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I am going to find Ms. Paige.”
Mariela took the elevator to the twentieth floor and knocked on the office door.
“Ms. Paige, it’s me.”
“Come in.”
Mariela pushed open the door and returned the key to Paige with a smile. “Ms. Paige, David has just given back my house. Thank you for renting the house to me!”
Paige raised her eyebrows. She was surprised that Mariela knew this.
Chapter 166
“Last night, when I went to pay the utility bills, I heard from the property management that the owner of the house was you. It was only then that I realized that you had rented the house to us at a low price!”
In the past, Paige had always told them that her friend rented the house to them at a low price.
Mariela was grateful. “If not for you, on the day of my father’s death anniversary, maybe my mother and I would have already…”
They would have been raped.
They might commit suicide because of that.
Mariela looked down as she said. But soon she smiled. “You help me over and over again. You made me stand on the top of the mountain and see the beautiful scenery! So I decided to stay by your side and study well!”
Mariela was brilliant in this game, and many people said that she was a new designer who was as excellent as Master Quinn.
However, Mariela knew that it was because of Paige’s help that she could make such stunning works. She won the championship trophy and became famous. She was loved and admired by many fans.
Paige should be the champion!
Without Paige, Mariela would not be where she is today!
“I will give you three months.” Paige smiled, “Three months later, you will go back to take care of your company.”
“Three, three months?”
Mariela wanted to learn from Paige for three years, five years, or even ten years…
“Three months is enough for you. You are very smart, and you have a lot of ideas. You will make remarkable achievements as a designer.”
Mariela looked at Paige gratefully.
“Your salary has been confirmed. Now that you have a place to stay, I will keep the key.”
“Thank you, Ms. Paige!”
“Just call me Paige privately.”
During this period of time, Paige had always treated Mariela as a friend. Otherwise, she would not have helped Mariela all the time.
“Paige, it’s good to know you!” Mariela said gratefully and happily.
Ever since she met Paige, her life had been completely different from before!
They had been busy for the whole day.
After work, Martin brought Paige back to the Moon Dunes Villa.
The daisies had already been planted, and it was like a sea of flowers.
Countless pink and white daisies surrounded the crescent lake. Under the light of the setting sun, it was as beautiful as a fairyland.
All that could be seen was the sea of pink and white daisies.
Martin held Paige from behind and whispered in her ear. Have a surprise for you.”
Surprise?
Such a beautiful sea of flowers was already a surprise for her.
Was there another surprise for her?
Martin covered her eyes with one hand and held her waist with the other. He whispered the countdown in her ear in a bewitching and charming voice.
As he counted down, he slowly released his hand.
Paige looked up and saw thousands of butterflies flying in the sea of flowers.
So many butterflies?
Where did they come from?
Was that magic?
“Are they beautiful?”
Martin had someone prepare this in advance. Colorful butterflies flew out of the bags and flew over the beautiful sea of flowers. It was as beautiful as a painting.
“That’s great.” Paige was happy as she looked at the beautiful scenery. She smiled and said, “It’s so beautiful.”
“If you like it, I will catch butterflies every day for you to see.” Martin held Paige even tighter.
It was a pity that Paige could not stay for dinner for the next two days…
Otherwise, Martin could prepare more surprises for her at night and stay with her for a while longer…
Paige found that there was a transparent round glass room in the sea of flowers. There was a top-grade crystal piano inside.
She could see that it was the internationally renowned Harmony piano, which was worth 50 million dollars.
“You want to hear me play the piano, don’t you?”
Paige walked into the glass room and created a beautiful piano piece for him.
Martin looked at her beautiful face and gorgeous facial features as she played the piano, and his eyes softened.
Her slender fingers freely danced on the piano keys. Every movement and expression of her was incomparably beautiful.
After the song ended, Martin bent down to give her a kiss.
He could feel her mood from this song. At this moment, she was happy.
Martin sat down and said, “I will play a song for you, too.”
Paige was a little surprised. Could he play the piano?
His fingers were dancing on the piano keys. Although it was an improvisation, it did sound great!
His finger movements surprised Paige. This familiar feeling reminded her of the piano genius, Star, who was famous several years ago.
Star never showed his face when playing the piano. He only revealed a pair of hands, which were slender and good-looking, and it could be seen that Star was a young boy.
On the Internet, there were only three videos of Star’s performance, and he would release a new video every year.
Paige had watched Star’s videos many times, and she was familiar with every finger movement of his plays.
Unfortunately, a few years ago, he stopped releasing new videos. The fans waited for a few years, and he no longer remained popular. And then Vallorie became popular.
Star seemed to be slowly forgotten…
After the song was played, Paige looked up and asked, “Are you Star?”
Martin was a little surprised. He wondered why Paige could tell who he was just by watching him play.
She was so smart.
“Star’s hands are very good-looking,” Paige added.
Martin smiled and asked, “Is he good-looking?”
How could he ask that?
“It doesn’t matter. It makes me happy enough to hear you praise my hands.” Martin kissed her lightly. “This is a song I composed for you. It’s called ‘Love’…”.
Paige’s eyes became gentle.
Martin sent the song to her mobile phone. “This is what I recorded in advance, and it is for you.”
The song was romantic and beautiful, and it told all his love for her…
Paige could hear his thoughts, and he was really saying, “I love you.”
Martin saw that the sun was setting and that the sky had darkened slightly. He could only send her home.
He heard that her big brother had returned in the past two days. She had to go home for dinner. Although Martin was reluctant, he still respected her decision.
In the car, Martin gently helped her apply medicine. “Be careful when you take a shower. Don’t wet your wound.”
“Yes.”
“You don’t need to change your dressing tonight. I will help you change it when I send you to work tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Paige felt loved when Martin took good care of her.
Adam could see that Paige’s finger movements were not simple. Her piano skills were not inferior to those of Martin.
She seemed to be Vallorie…
Adam thought of the finger movements and posture of Vallorie and that of Paige…
The more Adam thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible… In the end, he couldn’t help but ask Rhys for confirmation.
Adam learned that Paige was the internationally renowned pianist, Vallorie, and he thought that Paige saved Killian twice…
Adam was shocked, but at the same time, he was deeply impressed. He did not expect that Paige could not only save people but also play the piano…
The key was that Paige was young and beautiful. He thought
Martin was lucky to have her.
Chapter 167
Two days later.
Paige and Martin returned to the Riverside Villa to visit Killian. They heard that Rosa had moved back.
In the past, Killian was in poor health and often had to stay in the hospital. He could not even take care of himself, and Rosa was thus sent to an advanced sanatorium. There were professional doctors and nurses looking after her 24 hours a day and working hard for her treatment.
Those famous doctors had spent all their efforts but to no avail. Killian recovered, so he brought Rosa back and took care of her in person.
Neil held a bowl of the decoction in his hand. “Mr. Stowe, take the medicine.”
“Take it away!” Killian frowned and said with disgust, “Paige will come later. If my mouth carries the bitter taste, how can I talk to her?”
At that moment, a servant reported loudly, “Mr. Killian, Mr. Martin, and Ms. Paige are here!”
Seeing Martin holding Paige’s hand and walking into the courtyard, Killian was suddenly in high spirits. “Paige, you finally came to see me!”
He ignored the tall and handsome Martin next to Paige.
“Killian,” Paige smiled. She saw Neil and also greeted him politely, “Neil, is the decoction ready?”
“Yes, Ms. Paige,” Neil smiled respectfully. He thought, Mr. Killian, I’ll wait and see what you can do next.
Paige took the bowl and brought it to Killian. “Killian, you have to drink it while it is warm. You look more spirited than before.”
“That’s right. It’s all because of your superb medical skills. I feel refreshed every day when I get up! I was about to drink it, but Neil was talking nonsense just now. I forgot about it for a moment.”
Killian took the bowl hurriedly and defended himself, “I am obedient every day.”
The servants were all shocked.
Killian found various excuses and refused to take medicine every day.
However, he actually pretended to be obedient in front of Paige!
Killian asked overbearingly after taking the medicine, “Why is there only half a bowl today? Are there any more in the kitchen?”
Neil held back his laughter. “Half a bowl is enough. Mr. Killian, I will go get some sugar and snacks for you. You can chat with Mr. Martin and Ms. Paige for a while.”
“Go.” Killian drove Neil away and said warmly, “Paige, come to me quickly. Have you been busy lately?”
“No,” Paige said as she sat down.
“Did this brat bully you? If he did, I would help you vent your anger.”
“He is quite good.” Paige glanced at Martin. From the time they met until now, he had been taking care of her.
“Really?” Killian was not convinced. “If he doesn’t do something well, you have to tell me. I will support you.”
Killian looked at Martin. “You have to treat Paige better. Be careful not to be defeated by a young man who is more outstanding than you. It’ll be too late to regret it!”
“Paige likes a mature one.” Martin sat down and asked softly, “Where’s Grandma?”
“She was just basking in the sun. The servants took her to change clothes. Why hasn’t she come yet?”
Neil served tea and snacks.
“Go bring Rosa over.”
Neil pushed Rosa out of the inner room.
Rosa was dressed well and sitting in a wheelchair. She looked kind and elegant.
It could be seen that she was taken care of very well. Her hair was neatly combed, her fingernails had been carefully trimmed, and her clothes were her favorite style.
If she could move and speak, she would be a kind and gentle old lady.
“Rosa, Paige, our granddaughter-in-law, has come to see you,” Killian took Rosa’s hand and introduced Paige to her with a smile, “I have often mentioned Paige to you. How is she? Is she beautiful? Not only is she beautiful, but she also can play the piano and save people. Martin is really lucky to date such an excellent girl like Paige.”
Killian added in his heart, I heard that Paige is also Vallorie Walker, the piano master!
Paige looked at Rosa and said gently, “Hello, Rosa. My name
is Paige. I am happy to see you.”
She touched the necklace on her neck and said, “Thank you for the gift. I like it very much.”
She took out another gift. “This is for you.”
“What is this?” Killian took it and opened it. It was a beautiful jade bracelet.
Last time, Paige bid for a piece of jade for Cassie and designed two bracelets. One was for Cassie as a birthday present, and the other was for Rosa as a greeting gift.
“The jade is quite good, and the design is unique. Thank you, Paige. You are so generous.” Killian took the bracelet in front of Rosa and said, “How beautiful it is! I will put it on for you.”
He put the bracelet on Rosa’s wrist. “If Rosa can move, she will hold you excitedly at this time…”
Unfortunately, no one could treat her illness.
Although she could blink and breathe, she was almost the good as a vegetable.
Martin did not know that Paige had prepared such an expensive jade bracelet as a gift for Rosa. He was moved and also felt sorry for her generosity.
In the past, some rich young ladies came to Killian in the name of visiting Rosa and only bought things to please Killian. They thought subconsciously that a vegetative person did not need any gifts.
Even if they prepared a gift, it would be a waste.
On the contrary, Paige regarded Rosa as a living person and treated her with respect.
This was the difference between Paige and others.
Paige held Rosa’s wrist. “Rosa, when you are better, let’s go out and enjoy ourselves. We can go shopping or go on a trip to see the outside world together.”
Killian heard Paige’s words, and his eyes turned wet. He looked away and held back the tears in his eyes.
Martin reached out and patted Killian’s back as if he were comforting Killian.
Paige finished checking on Rosa and was clear about Rosa’s overall condition. “I believe that you will be better soon.”
As Martin had said before, Rosa really had brain damage.
A long time ago, Paige had treated a patient who had also become a vegetable because of brain damage.
Although the patient was finally cured, he needed various medicinal herbs. Some of them were rare, and some were in the Triangle Area outside the border. It was a dangerous place, and if someone went there, they might not be able to come back alive.
The difference between Rosa and the previous patient was that her life would end a few days later.
Paige discovered it when she checked Rosa’s condition just now.
However, Paige did not say it. She planned to go back and think of a way.
If she said it out loud, Killian and Martin would be anxious…
On the way back to the Larsen Villa, Martin asked in a soft voice, “What’s the problem?”
Chapter 168
Paige was surprised.
Martin noticed that she was feeling Rosa’s pulse just now!
“Grandma really has brain damage. It is difficult to recover,” Paige did not hide anything and said truthfully.
Martin did not expect Paige to figure it out by only feeling Rosa’s pulse. Her medical skills must be much more outstanding than many famous doctors.
Paige knew that if she wanted to cure Rosa’s illness, forty-nine herbs were needed.
These herbs were hard to find, and one of them, named
Heavenly Ginseng was even rarer.
It had once appeared in the Triangle Area, but that place was too dangerous.
Even if Paige had her force over there, she would not break into that area casually.
What was more, she did not know if there were any
Heavenly Ginseng.
At night.
Paige got someone to find a lot of herbs that had similar effects to the Heavenly Ginseng. She tested them for a long time but failed.
It seemed that she had to make a trip to the Triangle Area tomorrow.
In the Riverside Villa…
Killian called Martin and said, “Martin, your grandmother’s breathing today is different from before. Just now, I asked the servants to measure her blood pressure and found that it had dropped a lot. I don’t know if her condition has improved or worsened…”
“I’ll ask Mr. Williamson to take a look,” Martin heard the anxiety in Killian’s words.
Todd’s medical skills were well-known at home and abroad, and he happened to be in Chicago recently.
“Don’t panic. I will go back later.”
“Okay, come back quickly.”
“OK.”
Martin finished his work in the company and rushed back to the Riverside Villa. Todd had just finished taking Rosa’s pulse.
He sighed and said helplessly, “This is the omen of a vegetative person dying. In other words, not much time is left for Mrs. Stowe.”
Killian suddenly fainted after hearing the bad news.
“Mr. Stowe? Mr. Stowe! Dr. Williamson, please save Mr. Stowe!” Neil was frightened.
Todd checked Killian and said, “He’s fine. He just got a little stimulated. Send him back to his room to rest.”
“Mr. Williamson, is there any other way?” Martin asked in a deep voice.
Rosa was the backbone of the Stowe family. If Rosa died,
Killian would most likely give up on himself…
Rosa was especially important to Killian.
It could be said that she was more important than Killian’s own life.
“There is a way, but… it is unrealistic!” Todd said, “A medicinal herb called Heavenly Ginseng may be effective, but it is rare. Many doctors have never heard of it in their lives, let alone seen it. It is difficult to find it.”
In the world, few people knew what it looked like.
“Is this medicinal herb helpful to Grandma’s illness?”
Martin asked seriously.
“Yes. But your grandmother might not be able to wait any longer.” Todd took a sip of tea. He stood up and said, “I’m sorry for being unable to do anything. I’ll be leaving.”
“Send Mr. Williamson off,” Martin instructed.
A servant stepped forward and gave Todd a blank check. Todd waved his hand and refused, “I didn’t help anything at all. If I take the check, I will feel uneasy. By the way, you can try to look for Skylar. Perhaps he will have a way.’
“We have been sending people to inquire about Skylar’s whereabouts for the past half year, but there is no news of him,” Martin said truthfully.
Todd shrugged. “Then I have no more advice.”
Martin cast a glance at the servant. The servant caught up to
Todd insisted on giving him the check.
“Your advice is a great help to the Stowe family!”
Todd had no choice but to accept the check. He planned to write a small number on it.
Martin took out his phone and made a call. “Find out where there is Heavenly Ginseng.”
“Mr. Stowe, why are you looking for it?” Rhys was confused.
“Grandma needs it,” Martin said, his eyes darkening.
Rhys immediately sent someone to inquire about it.
The next morning, he called Martin and said, “Mr. Stowe, there’s finally news. The Heavenly Ginseng once appeared in the Triangle Area, but that place is very dangerous. Although we have power over there, it’s better not to take the risk.”
Martin’s eyes darkened. The Triangle Area?
“Mr. Stowe, what if the Heavenly Ginseng is just a legend? Why don’t we look for some other herbs that can replace it?”
“There is no time.
“I don’t know how long it will take if we try it one by one. It is better to find the Heavenly Ginseng directly. At least it can save Grandma’s life.
“Arrange to go to the Triangle Area.”
“What?” Rhys never expected that Martin would indeed
plan to go to that place. “Is there any change to Mrs. Stowe’s illness?”
“Yes. Only a few days are left.”
Rhys finally understood why Martin wanted to go to the Triangle Area.
While sending Paige to work, Martin found that the wound on her right wrist was getting worse. He felt distressed and asked, “What happened?”
The ointment he applied to her every day was the best one in the world, and it was impossible for it to have no effect at all.
“Have you overused your hands recently? Playing the piano. or drawing?”
Paige retracted her hand and said disapprovingly, “I’m just a little busy at work.”
In fact, she had been in the Knapcoll Villa last night testing the medicine to save Rosa. She had been working all night and indeed overused her hands.
“Don’t be busy anymore.” Martin felt pity for her. “I have something urgent to do and have to go abroad. When I come back, I want to see your hand get better.”
“Okay.” Paige did not know Martin’s plan to go abroad. Originally, she was still thinking about what excuse she should find to go to the Triangle Area…
Now, there was a good opportunity.
“Don’t worry, I will take good care of myself.”
Looking at Paige’s expression, Martin raised his eyebrows and said, “I feel that you are a little happy.”
He was going to leave, but Paige was actually a little happy.
Was it his illusion?
“You are wrong.” Paige said calmly, “I am not happy.’
Was that so?
The corners of her lips had clearly curled up just now.
When they arrived at the company, Martin packed up the ointments and handed them to Paige. “It’s the same as before. Use this one first, and use this one after it. Twice a day. Don’t touch water.”
“Got it.”
Martin hugged her for a while. He then lowered his head and kissed her for a long time before letting go of her, “Wait for me to come back.”
“OK.” Paige got out of the car and waited for his car to drive far away. She took out her mobile phone and said, “Pick me up at the coffee shop next to the Daybreak Clothing.”
“Okay, Boss.”
“Prepare a private plane in the Knapcoll Villa. I want to go to the Triangle Area.”
“Triangle Area?” The person on the other side of the line was stunned. “Boss, you are finally going to help us teach those bastards a lesson? That’s great!”
He thought happily, with Boss there, no one dares to be presumptuous!
They have never seen Boss’ power. If they did, they would probably be scared to have a heart attack…
Chapter 169
Paige walked toward the coffee shop and called her mother. “Mom, a friend of mine is in trouble. I want to see her. Yes, it is quite serious. She is abroad, and I will be away for two days…”
After that, Paige called Deon. “I have something to deal with these two days. If someone comes to me, just say that I am in a meeting. Don’t let others know that I am not here.”
It was the first time that Deon had heard that Paige could not go to work. He said hurriedly, “No problem. Ms. Paige, where are you going?”
He was curious, but just heard a beeping sound in the end.
Paige was always like this. She was decisive and resolute and did not say a word of nonsense.
At this time, a luxurious private plane was parked on the top of Knapcoll Hill.
Four men of sacrifice stood respectfully at the side.
Jairo had brought a lot of equipment with him, and Rylee was loading the gun with bullets. Seeing Paige, they immediately stepped forward.
“Boss, you’re finally here! Why do you suddenly want to go to the Triangle Area?”
Rylee was despised by Jairo. “Is there a need to ask? That
place is also one of Boss’s strongholds! Give those brats a blow and keep the prestige of our sect!”
Jairo thought it was what Paige should do.
“Help me inquire about the Heavenly Ginseng.” Paige walked up the stairs. Her aura was strong, and her back looked cool.
“Heavenly Ginseng?” Jairo was stunned for a moment. He recalled what they had experienced when they got Heavenly Ginseng last time. “Boss, who are you going to save this time?”
Paige did not hide it and said, “Martin’s grandmother.”
The Stowe family?
Martin’s grandmother?
Jairo seemed to see a lot of money waving at him. “Martin must have offered a high reward, right?”
To let Paige risk her life to get the Heavenly Ginseng,
Martin should at least pay tens of millions of dollars!
“No.”
“Huh? No rewards?” Jairo and Rylee looked at each other. In other words, Paige wouldn’t earn a single cent this time.
Then why did she do so?
Was it because of Martin’s handsome face? Or was she bewitched by Martin’s sweet words?
“Let’s go.” Paige’s tone was with a trace of coldness.
Jairo and Rylee sympathized with Martin in their hearts. They did not know how Martin felt when he faced the cold Paige every day…
Was he as afraid as they were?
The journey would last for eight hours, and Paige slept on the plane. After waking up, she changed into a cool outfit and put on a cap.
“Boss, there is an epidemic of a virus called X3.”
It was said that it could be infected by breathing. The whole body of the infected person would fester, and they would die from torture…
The virus was spread from a famous research institute in
the Triangle Area. There was no antidote.
Jairo handed a black mask to Paige. “A few of our people have also been infected.”
Paige put on the mask. Only her clear and bright eyes could be seen, and they made her look more attractive. “Let’s work on it when we get back.”
“Okay.” Jairo glanced at Paige’s side profile. “Boss, if you are a man, you will definitely charm many girls.”
“Boss is so good-looking. That bastard Martin is so lucky.”
The plane flew into the air of the Triangle Area. Before the captain could activate the automatic defense mode, shells hit the tail wings. The plane suddenly lost balance and rotated in the air.
An ear-piercing warning sound rang in the cabin.
Everything was falling, and Paige subconsciously grabbed the armrest, her face cold.
Fortunately, everyone had fastened their safety belts, or they would have been thrown out long ago.
“Which bastard did this?” Jairo cursed. He stood up with difficulty and went to the cockpit.
“Who has been so unscrupulous recently?” Paige had not been to the Triangle Area for a while. She did not expect that it would be much more dangerous than before.
“Recently, there has been a new gang called Wolf Gang. Except for the Microvay Gang, the other gangs are all provoked by them!”
Paige smiled coldly. The Wolf Gang was indeed unscrupulous.
“It is probably the Wolf Gang who attacked us!” Rylee was indignant and wanted to destroy it.
The tail wing of the plane was broken a little, and the plane was falling rapidly.
“Lock on them and throw the bomb.” Paige said coldly, “Since they have the guts to blow up our tail wing, they have to bear the consequences. Find a place and land urgently.”
“Yes.” Rylee transmitted her order to the cockpit immediately.
The captain locked onto the position where the tail wing had just been hit and dropped a bomb. With a bang, thick smoke billowed, and the Triangle Area was shrouded in horror.
After the plane landed urgently, several cars quickly appeared in front of Paige.
The people who got out of the car were holding guns. When they saw Paige, they bowed respectfully.
“Boss!”
“Boss, you are here!”
“Long time no see.”
Paige nodded at them and got in the car with a trace of coldness in her eyes.
Everyone admired her strong mind and felt that she was worthy of being their leader. In such a dangerous place, she was still expressionless as if she didn’t take anything seriously.
Even if a competent spy from the country stepped into the Triangle Area, he would be alert all over, especially his eyes…
However, even if the tail wing was blown up, Paige
remained composed as if nothing had happened. Her eyes were clear and cold.
Paige’s mobile phone vibrated.
It was Martin’s call.
“Paige, I’m abroad.” Martin checked the time. “Someone will pick you up from work later.”
Pick her up?
Paige said immediately, “No need. I have a car.”
“I will be worried about you if you go to and from work alone.” Martin’s tone was gentle. “Be Good. Adam will be
there in three minutes. There is some food in the car for you.”
Paige had a headache, but she was patient. “I will ask Deon to get it. I have a meeting later. Adam doesn’t have to pick me up.”
“Do you have a meeting at this time?” Martin was worried that she would be too tired. “Then call me when you get home.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Paige called Deon. Deon went downstairs immediately and saw someone driving a Rolls-Royce. He thought, Martin is really rich. Even his driver can drive a luxury car and looks so elegant.
“Hello, I am Ms. Paige’s assistant. You can call me Deon.” Deon smiled, “Did Mr. Stowe ask you to come?”
“I am Mr. Stowe’s butler. You can call me Adam.”
“Hello, Adam.” Seeing that Neil was carrying a bag of expensive snacks in his hands, Deon was surprised and thought, rich people are so extravagant. A casual meal is worth my monthly salary.
“Where is Ms. Paige?” Adam did not see Paige and asked with concern.
“Oh, Ms. Paige is still in a meeting. She has something to do later. She has told Mr. Stowe that she will go home by herself in a while.”
Chapter 170
“Okay.” Adam handed the snacks to Deon. “This is prepared by Mr. Stowe for Ms. Paige. Deon, please help take it up.”
“OK. Thank you, Adam,” Deon said a few words of courtesy and then went upstairs with the snacks. He called Paige and asked, “Ms. Paige, how should I deal with these snacks?”
“Eat them.”
“Huh? Me?” Deon was overjoyed and said, “There’s so much, and I can’t finish it all by myself.”
“Get some for Mari.” Paige sat in the car and said in a cold voice, “Don’t slip anything out.”
“OK.”
Deon sent some snacks to Mariela.
Paige arrived at the stronghold and got out of the car.
Several men with guns saw her and said excitedly, “Boss, you are here!”
Paige found that they were all wearing masks and raised her eyebrows. “How many people are infected?”
“There were four Yesterday and three more today…” A subordinate said, “Boss, they are all at Dr. Schmidt’s place.
You should not go…
Paige was a little puzzled.
“Yesterday, Dr. Ashton was infected. Today, his whole body began to fester…” Another subordinate said, “The X3 Virus is menacing. If you are careless, you will lose your life. You are the backbone of our base. We need you…”
“It’s okay. I will be careful.” Paige walked in, not taking the virus seriously at all.
The subordinate reminded hurriedly, “Boss, you have to put on the protective suit before going in!”
Otherwise, it would be troublesome if she were infected.
In Paige’s base, the main castle was at the edge of a large grassy area, and her research institute was on the second floor.
Guillermo and the seven infected people should be in the most eastern ward on the second floor.
Along the way, everyone saw Paige and greeted her respectfully.
Paige changed into a protective suit and walked into the eastern ward. She saw seven infected people lying on the bed with different degrees of festering skin.
They cried bitterly and were suffering.
“It hurts so much, Dr. Schmidt…”
“Dr. Schmidt, I feel so bad. My whole body seems to be burning…”
“Save me. I don’t want to die…”
“Don’t scratch your wounds, or you will die faster!” Guillermo was busy. When he heard the door open, he turned around and felt as if he had seen his savior!
“Boss, you’re finally here!”
Guillermo was excited and thought, Great! Boss is here! We will be saved!
“Tell me about the situation.” As soon as Paige came in, she began to observe each patient’s condition and take their pulse.
“I heard that someone stole the medicine that was unsuccessful from the research institute of Microvay Gang and sold it to harm others.”
Guillermo was indignant. “People who are infected will have a high fever and feel their skin burn. They can’t stand it and scratch their wounds. After a short period of comfort, they feel even worse.
“So they keep scratching, and their wounds worsen more quickly. In the end, their skin will rot, and they will die.”
Guillermo saw the process and was anxious, but he had no way to help them….
“The process will only last for three days…” Guillermo said helplessly.
Now, only two days were left for some of the people lying in bed, and only one day for others…
Paige’s eyes darkened. Those who sold such a kind of disgusting medicine were really wicked.
“The members of a few big forces and some small gangs have been infected…” Guillermo sighed, “The entire Triangle Area is in a state of panic, and all of the people wear masks when they go out.”
Some of those gangs invited medical experts from home and abroad. Without exception, they were all helpless about the illness.
“Give me my tools.”
Guillermo immediately went to get them. Paige opened the bag, took out a slender special medical tool, and inserted it into the vital body part of the patients one by one.
“Treat others according to my method.” Paige demonstrated to Guillermo, and Guillermo hurriedly did as he was told.
After a while, several patients spat out a mouthful of blood. Although they felt a little better, their skin was still burning.
“I will go to the research room. Ask two more people to come in and watch them. Don’t let them scratch the wound. If it is unbearable, press against them gently with your fingers,” Paige said.
“Yes!”
Paige wrote a prescription and asked people to go to the mountain in the back to pick up twenty or so herbs needed.
The treatment just now could only slow down the spread of the poison temporarily.
To cure the patients, Paige needed to find twenty-nine herbs. Fortunately, all of them could be found in the mountains.
At the base of Microvay Gang.
Rhys walked in hurriedly and reported, “Mr. Stowe, four more of our people have been infected with X3 Virus. You should put on a mask…”
It would be troublesome if Martin were infected.
Martin put on a mask, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. His voice was cold. “Why did the medicine in our research institute spread?”
“It is said that there are traitors in our gang. We are investigating…” Rhys had never thought that someone would be so daring as to betray the Microvay Gang.
Seeing Martin’s eyes darken, Rhys said hurriedly, “Several experts are researching the antidote. However, people who are infected with the virus will die in less than three days. I’m afraid that before the antidote is developed, half of them will die.”
The virus was highly infectious, and the mortality rate was one hundred percent.
“Mr. Stowe, we cannot stay here for long. Once we find the Heavenly Ginseng, we should leave immediately.”
“We can’t ignore those infected people. Let the experts speed up and find out the antidote as soon as possible.” Martin asked coldly, “Is there any news from the Heavenly Ginseng?”
“I heard that there was once a stalk of it in an auction in the Triangle Area. I have sent people to investigate it, and there will be results soon.”
Martin turned on his phone and looked at the girl on the
screen. His voice softened. “If there is any news, take action immediately.”
He was determined to get the Heavenly Ginseng.
He had only left for a few hours, but he started to miss the girl on the phone screen.
The last time Martin went abroad, he missed her so much that he couldn’t sleep…
When he returned home, he got to take Paige into his arms and finally had a good sleep…
Rhys saw the photo inadvertently. It was taken by a reporter outside the Melody Theater when Paige went there.
After that, it was bought by Martin at a high price.
Rhys thought, if Ms. Paige knew that Mr. Stowe loved her so deeply, she would be moved…
In Mr. Stowe’s heart, Ms. Paige always ranks at the top…
“OK. I will send someone to investigate,” Rhys said respectfully and left.
