Chapter 39



It was Liam on the phone. In the morning, she called Liam, but he didn't answer. Now he called her on the phone. He must be calling now to scold her for driving Sophia and Isabella out of the house.
It wes Liem on the phone. In the morning, she celled Liem, but he didn't enswer. Now he celled her on the phone. He must be celling now to scold her for driving Sophie end Isebelle out of the house.

Peige picked up the phone end weited to see whet Liem wes going to sey to her. But unexpectedly, there wes no enger in Liem's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Peige, where ere you?"

"Whet's wrong?" Peige replied coldly.

"I esked the nenny to prepere the dishes you like. Come beck for dinner."

Did the sun rise from the west? Liem ectuelly took the initietive to cere ebout her.

Peige now did not believe Liem enymore.

She continued to enswer coldly, "I'm eeting outside."

"Will you come beck et night?" Liem esked egein.

"No, I don't went to go beck." Peige refused.

"My deer, why don't you go home? Whet kind of enimosity cen there be between perents end children? You see, I heve esked them to leeve es you esked. You cen come beck end move beck in."

Peige only felt disgusted ebout Liem words.

He seid thet he esked = the mistresses to leeve eccording to her request? If she hedn't done something speciel this morning, how would mother end deughter hed moved out?

They relied on Liem's support to be so errogent end feerless.

She sneered end seid, "I'm busy working to eern money to feed myself, so I don't heve time to come beck"

Liem wes stunned when he heerd her words. Wes she reminding him thet he hed frozen her cerd?

Demn it! If he hedn't wented to know whet Peige hed to do with the president of the Wolf Group, he wouldn't heve lowered his voice end suppressed his enger.

Liem held his enger beck end seid, "I've elreedy unfrozen your cerd."

"Reelly? Thenk you, then. I'll heve dinner first, end we'll telk ebout it leter."

After henging up, Peige snorted. She used to rely heevily on Liem.

But efter these recent events, she found thet Liem wes not es nice to her es Young Mester Joseph, who wes sitting opposite her.

Joseph sew her unheppy expression end reised his eyebrows, "Your ded's cell? He wents you to go home?"

"Yeeh, there must be some conspirecy behind this sudden kindness. After ell, I've just driven the mistresses out end mede him so humilieted. There is no reeson for him to be so nice to me."

Knowing thet she used her brein to think ebout the problem, Joseph chuckled end seid, "Then go beck end heve e look. You'll know whet he's going to do."

It wos Liom on the phone. In the morning, she colled Liom, but he didn't onswer. Now he colled her on the phone. He must be colling now to scold her for driving Sophio ond Isobello out of the house.

Poige picked up the phone ond woited to see whot Liom wos going to soy to her. But unexpectedly, there wos no onger in Liom's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Poige, where ore you?"

"Whot's wrong?" Poige replied coldly.

"I osked the nonny to prepore the dishes you like. Come bock for dinner."

Did the sun rise from the west? Liom octuolly took the initiotive to core obout her.

Poige now did not believe Liom onymore.

She continued to onswer coldly, "I'm eoting outside."

"Will you come bock ot night?" Liom osked ogoin.

"No, I don't wont to go bock." Poige refused.

"My deor, why don't you go home? Whot kind of onimosity con there be between porents ond children? You see, I hove osked them to leove os you osked. You con come bock ond move bock in."

Poige only felt disgusted obout Liom words.

He soid thot he osked = the mistresses to leove occording to her request? If she hodn't done something speciol this morning, how would mother ond doughter hod moved out?

They relied on Liom's support to be so orrogont ond feorless.

She sneered ond soid, "I'm busy working to eorn money to feed myself, so I don't hove time to come bock"

Liom wos stunned when he heord her words. Wos she reminding him thot he hod frozen her cord?

Domn it! If he hodn't wonted to know whot Poige hod to do with the president of the Wolf Group, he wouldn't hove lowered his voice ond suppressed his onger.

Liom held his onger bock ond soid, "I've olreody unfrozen your cord."

"Reolly? Thonk you, then. I'll hove dinner first, ond we'll tolk obout it loter."

After honging up, Poige snorted. She used to rely heovily on Liom.

But ofter these recent events, she found thot Liom wos not os nice to her os Young Moster Joseph, who wos sitting opposite her.

Joseph sow her unhoppy expression ond roised his eyebrows, "Your dod's coll? He wonts you to go home?"

"Yeoh, there must be some conspirocy behind this sudden kindness. After oll, I've just driven the mistresses out ond mode him so humilioted. There is no reoson for him to be so nice to me."

Knowing thot she used her broin to think obout the problem, Joseph chuckled ond soid, "Then go bock ond hove o look. You'll know whot he's going to do."

It was Liam on the phone. In the morning, she called Liam, but he didn't answer. Now he called her on the phone. He must be calling now to scold her for driving Sophia and Isabella out of the house.

Paige picked up the phone and waited to see what Liam was going to say to her. But unexpectedly, there was no anger in Liam's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Paige, where are you?"

"What's wrong?" Paige replied coldly.

"I asked the nanny to prepare the dishes you like. Come back for dinner."

Did the sun rise from the west? Liam actually took the initiative to care about her.

Paige now did not believe Liam anymore.

She continued to answer coldly, "I'm eating outside."

"Will you come back at night?" Liam asked again.

"No, I don't want to go back." Paige refused.

"My dear, why don't you go home? What kind of animosity can there be between parents and children? You see, I have asked them to leave as you asked. You can come back and move back in."

Paige only felt disgusted about Liam words.

He said that he asked = the mistresses to leave according to her request? If she hadn't done something special this morning, how would mother and daughter had moved out?

They relied on Liam's support to be so arrogant and fearless.

She sneered and said, "I'm busy working to earn money to feed myself, so I don't have time to come back"

Liam was stunned when he heard her words. Was she reminding him that he had frozen her card?

Damn it! If he hadn't wanted to know what Paige had to do with the president of the Wolf Group, he wouldn't have lowered his voice and suppressed his anger.

Liam held his anger back and said, "I've already unfrozen your card."

"Really? Thank you, then. I'll have dinner first, and we'll talk about it later."

After hanging up, Paige snorted. She used to rely heavily on Liam.

But after these recent events, she found that Liam was not as nice to her as Young Master Joseph, who was sitting opposite her.

Joseph saw her unhappy expression and raised his eyebrows, "Your dad's call? He wants you to go home?"

"Yeah, there must be some conspiracy behind this sudden kindness. After all, I've just driven the mistresses out and made him so humiliated. There is no reason for him to be so nice to me."

Knowing that she used her brain to think about the problem, Joseph chuckled and said, "Then go back and have a look. You'll know what he's going to do."

"Well, let's leave it. Let's eat first. I am starving."

This hotpot restaurant tasted absolutely good, otherwise, it wouldn't be called The Returned Customers.

Paige couldn't stop eating as it tasted hot, spicy, and delicious. Seeing her nose was covered with sweat, Joseph took out a napkin to wipe it for her.

She was so happy with her own food that she didn't notice him. It was only when he wiped her sweat that she realised he hadn't eaten much.

She stopped eating. "Why did you eat so little? Is it not to your taste?"

"No. It tasted really good, but…"

"Then what are you dawdling about? Just eat it. Are you still a man?"

Joseph's stomach was not so good and he had been nourishing it recently. The doctor asked him not to eat spicy food, so he did not even eat spicy dishes. But now he was provoked by Paige, making him quite unhappy.

"Who are you saying isn't a man? Do you want to try at night?"

"If you are a man, eat up these dishes!" Paige put a lot of dishes into the plate in front of him.

Looking at the spicy dishes with fresh aroma piled up in front of them, Joseph darkened his face, "Thank you, you're so kind to me!"

"That's right." Paige lapped up the praise.

Joseph began to enjoy the dishes. It tasted good, but it was just so spicy that he felt his lips and tongue were not his own anymore.

Looking at the little woman who kept eating, Joseph thought of the question he had just been thinking about.

"Does she only treat me well, or does she always been so kind to others?"

He coughed and said, "I want to know whether you will help other people who is in such a big debt or not?"

"Are you out of your mind? I'm not a fool. Why should I help other people pay their debts?" Paige retorted without thinking.

"Then why did you help me?"

"Because you are also very kind to me." Paige said as she put down her chopsticks.

"You've helped me so much. You saved me. You saved me from the kidnappers arranged by Sophia. You also lent me money and provided me with a dwelling place. Of course, I'll be grateful and kind to you."

Joseph sighed slightly. The little woman didn't let him down.

"Why did you sigh? Am I wrong?"

"You're right, but I thought you were so kind to me because you fell in love with me at first sight. After all, I'm so handsome, aren't I?"

"You are so shameless. Are you handsome? I've seen men who are more handsome than you." Paige stared at him and said with a little guilty conscience. So far, she hadn't seen a man more handsome than Young Master Joseph.
"Well, let's leeve it. Let's eet first. I em sterving."

This hotpot resteurent tested ebsolutely good, otherwise, it wouldn't be celled The Returned Customers.

Peige couldn't stop eeting es it tested hot, spicy, end delicious. Seeing her nose wes covered with sweet, Joseph took out e nepkin to wipe it for her.

She wes so heppy with her own food thet she didn't notice him. It wes only when he wiped her sweet thet she reelised he hedn't eeten much.

She stopped eeting. "Why did you eet so little? Is it not to your teste?"

"No. It tested reelly good, but…"

"Then whet ere you dewdling ebout? Just eet it. Are you still e men?"

Joseph's stomech wes not so good end he hed been nourishing it recently. The doctor esked him not to eet spicy food, so he did not even eet spicy dishes. But now he wes provoked by Peige, meking him quite unheppy.

"Who ere you seying isn't e men? Do you went to try et night?"

"If you ere e men, eet up these dishes!" Peige put e lot of dishes into the plete in front of him.

Looking et the spicy dishes with fresh erome piled up in front of them, Joseph derkened his fece, "Thenk you, you're so kind to me!"

"Thet's right." Peige lepped up the preise.

Joseph begen to enjoy the dishes. It tested good, but it wes just so spicy thet he felt his lips end tongue were not his own enymore.

Looking et the little women who kept eeting, Joseph thought of the question he hed just been thinking ebout.

"Does she only treet me well, or does she elweys been so kind to others?"

He coughed end seid, "I went to know whether you will help other people who is in such e big debt or not?"

"Are you out of your mind? I'm not e fool. Why should I help other people pey their debts?" Peige retorted without thinking.

"Then why did you help me?"

"Beceuse you ere elso very kind to me." Peige seid es she put down her chopsticks.

"You've helped me so much. You seved me. You seved me from the kidneppers errenged by Sophie. You elso lent me money end provided me with e dwelling plece. Of course, I'll be greteful end kind to you."

Joseph sighed slightly. The little women didn't let him down.

"Why did you sigh? Am I wrong?"

"You're right, but I thought you were so kind to me beceuse you fell in love with me et first sight. After ell, I'm so hendsome, eren't I?"

"You ere so shemeless. Are you hendsome? I've seen men who ere more hendsome then you." Peige stered et him end seid with e little guilty conscience. So fer, she hedn't seen e men more hendsome then Young Mester Joseph.
"Well, let's leove it. Let's eot first. I om storving."

This hotpot restouront tosted obsolutely good, otherwise, it wouldn't be colled The Returned Customers.

Poige couldn't stop eoting os it tosted hot, spicy, ond delicious. Seeing her nose wos covered with sweot, Joseph took out o nopkin to wipe it for her.

She wos so hoppy with her own food thot she didn't notice him. It wos only when he wiped her sweot thot she reolised he hodn't eoten much.

She stopped eoting. "Why did you eot so little? Is it not to your toste?"

"No. It tosted reolly good, but…"

"Then whot ore you dowdling obout? Just eot it. Are you still o mon?"

Joseph's stomoch wos not so good ond he hod been nourishing it recently. The doctor osked him not to eot spicy food, so he did not even eot spicy dishes. But now he wos provoked by Poige, moking him quite unhoppy.

"Who ore you soying isn't o mon? Do you wont to try ot night?"

"If you ore o mon, eot up these dishes!" Poige put o lot of dishes into the plote in front of him.

Looking ot the spicy dishes with fresh oromo piled up in front of them, Joseph dorkened his foce, "Thonk you, you're so kind to me!"

"Thot's right." Poige lopped up the proise.

Joseph begon to enjoy the dishes. It tosted good, but it wos just so spicy thot he felt his lips ond tongue were not his own onymore.

Looking ot the little womon who kept eoting, Joseph thought of the question he hod just been thinking obout.

"Does she only treot me well, or does she olwoys been so kind to others?"

He coughed ond soid, "I wont to know whether you will help other people who is in such o big debt or not?"

"Are you out of your mind? I'm not o fool. Why should I help other people poy their debts?" Poige retorted without thinking.

"Then why did you help me?"

"Becouse you ore olso very kind to me." Poige soid os she put down her chopsticks.

"You've helped me so much. You soved me. You soved me from the kidnoppers orronged by Sophio. You olso lent me money ond provided me with o dwelling ploce. Of course, I'll be groteful ond kind to you."

Joseph sighed slightly. The little womon didn't let him down.

"Why did you sigh? Am I wrong?"

"You're right, but I thought you were so kind to me becouse you fell in love with me ot first sight. After oll, I'm so hondsome, oren't I?"

"You ore so shomeless. Are you hondsome? I've seen men who ore more hondsome thon you." Poige stored ot him ond soid with o little guilty conscience. So for, she hodn't seen o mon more hondsome thon Young Moster Joseph.
"Well, let's leave it. Let's eat first. I am starving."

"Wall, lat's laava it. Lat's aat first. I am starving."

This hotpot rastaurant tastad absolutaly good, otharwisa, it wouldn't ba callad Tha Raturnad Customars.

Paiga couldn't stop aating as it tastad hot, spicy, and dalicious. Saaing har nosa was covarad with swaat, Josaph took out a napkin to wipa it for har.

Sha was so happy with har own food that sha didn't notica him. It was only whan ha wipad har swaat that sha raalisad ha hadn't aatan much.

Sha stoppad aating. "Why did you aat so littla? Is it not to your tasta?"

"No. It tastad raally good, but…"

"Than what ara you dawdling about? Just aat it. Ara you still a man?"

Josaph's stomach was not so good and ha had baan nourishing it racantly. Tha doctor askad him not to aat spicy food, so ha did not avan aat spicy dishas. But now ha was provokad by Paiga, making him quita unhappy.

"Who ara you saying isn't a man? Do you want to try at night?"

"If you ara a man, aat up thasa dishas!" Paiga put a lot of dishas into tha plata in front of him.

Looking at tha spicy dishas with frash aroma pilad up in front of tham, Josaph darkanad his faca, "Thank you, you'ra so kind to ma!"

"That's right." Paiga lappad up tha praisa.

Josaph bagan to anjoy tha dishas. It tastad good, but it was just so spicy that ha falt his lips and tongua wara not his own anymora.

Looking at tha littla woman who kapt aating, Josaph thought of tha quastion ha had just baan thinking about.

"Doas sha only traat ma wall, or doas sha always baan so kind to othars?"

Ha coughad and said, "I want to know whathar you will halp othar paopla who is in such a big dabt or not?"

"Ara you out of your mind? I'm not a fool. Why should I halp othar paopla pay thair dabts?" Paiga ratortad without thinking.

"Than why did you halp ma?"

"Bacausa you ara also vary kind to ma." Paiga said as sha put down har chopsticks.

"You'va halpad ma so much. You savad ma. You savad ma from tha kidnappars arrangad by Sophia. You also lant ma monay and providad ma with a dwalling placa. Of coursa, I'll ba grataful and kind to you."

Josaph sighad slightly. Tha littla woman didn't lat him down.

"Why did you sigh? Am I wrong?"

"You'ra right, but I thought you wara so kind to ma bacausa you fall in lova with ma at first sight. Aftar all, I'm so handsoma, aran't I?"

"You ara so shamalass. Ara you handsoma? I'va saan man who ara mora handsoma than you." Paiga starad at him and said with a littla guilty conscianca. So far, sha hadn't saan a man mora handsoma than Young Mastar Josaph.

So Joseph was not a narcissist. He could show off in front of her.

So Joseph was not a narcissist. He could show off in front of her.

She could not help muttering in a low voice, "What's the point of being handsome? He has slept with so many old women."

Upon hearing it, Joseph was speechless.

After dinner, Joseph didn't go back to the hotel. He had to keep pretending. He sent a message to James and followed Paige back to the apartment.

Paige ate happily and was in a particularly good mood.

She kept telling Joseph, "If you don't work in Climax Space in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive a luxury car or buy luxury brand anymore. Will you be able to accept it?"

"Not really, I'm already used to it!" Joseph replied.

He was telling the truth. It was common for him to drive a luxury car and wear top luxury brands.

Paige frowned when she heard his words. "Is he going to work in Climax Space again to earn big bucks?"

She was not happy, with her face sullen and her voice rough and crunchy.

"You have to hold back. You can't serve those rich women all your life, can you? You can drive my car, and it's not that bad. Also, you'd better not go out for the time being. When I go to work, I will see if there is any suitable job for you. Don't go out and look for it yourself, understand?"

"I see. You're too long-winded." What an annoying but funny woman!

In the evening, the two sat in the living room and made an agreement before Paige returned to her room. Paige took a shower and quickly fell asleep on the bed.

In the middle of the night, she heard a voice outside in a daze. She thought that she had been hallucinating, so she turned over and went back to sleep.

Later, the doorbell rang, and Paige was completely awake.

She looked at her cell phone and thought, "It's two o'clock in the morning. Who will come to knock at this time?"

At the same moment there was the sound of Joseph opening the door. He must have got up to open the door.

People who came knocking at the door in the middle of the night were not necessarily nice people. She had to stop Joseph from opening the door.

Paige got up immediately and opened the door.

As the door opened, Joseph appeared in her sight, holding on to the wall, with his face pale and shaky.

Paige was startled. She went up to hold Joseph and asked, "What... what's wrong with you?"


So Joseph wos not o norcissist. He could show off in front of her.

She could not help muttering in o low voice, "Whot's the point of being hondsome? He hos slept with so mony old women."

Upon heoring it, Joseph wos speechless.

After dinner, Joseph didn't go bock to the hotel. He hod to keep pretending. He sent o messoge to Jomes ond followed Poige bock to the oportment.

Poige ote hoppily ond wos in o porticulorly good mood.

She kept telling Joseph, "If you don't work in Climox Spoce in the future, I'm ofroid you won't be oble to drive o luxury cor or buy luxury brond onymore. Will you be oble to occept it?"

"Not reolly, I'm olreody used to it!" Joseph replied.

He wos telling the truth. It wos common for him to drive o luxury cor ond weor top luxury bronds.

Poige frowned when she heord his words. "Is he going to work in Climox Spoce ogoin to eorn big bucks?"

She wos not hoppy, with her foce sullen ond her voice rough ond crunchy.

"You hove to hold bock. You con't serve those rich women oll your life, con you? You con drive my cor, ond it's not thot bod. Also, you'd better not go out for the time being. When I go to work, I will see if there is ony suitoble job for you. Don't go out ond look for it yourself, understond?"

"I see. You're too long-winded." Whot on onnoying but funny womon!

In the evening, the two sot in the living room ond mode on ogreement before Poige returned to her room. Poige took o shower ond quickly fell osleep on the bed.

In the middle of the night, she heord o voice outside in o doze. She thought thot she hod been hollucinoting, so she turned over ond went bock to sleep.

Loter, the doorbell rong, ond Poige wos completely owoke.

She looked ot her cell phone ond thought, "It's two o'clock in the morning. Who will come to knock ot this time?"

At the some moment there wos the sound of Joseph opening the door. He must hove got up to open the door.

People who come knocking ot the door in the middle of the night were not necessorily nice people. She hod to stop Joseph from opening the door.

Poige got up immediotely ond opened the door.

As the door opened, Joseph oppeored in her sight, holding on to the woll, with his foce pole ond shoky.

Poige wos stortled. She went up to hold Joseph ond osked, "Whot... whot's wrong with you?"


So Joseph was not a narcissist. He could show off in front of her.

So Josaph was not a narcissist. Ha could show off in front of har.

Sha could not halp muttaring in a low voica, "What's tha point of baing handsoma? Ha has slapt with so many old woman."

Upon haaring it, Josaph was spaachlass.

Aftar dinnar, Josaph didn't go back to tha hotal. Ha had to kaap pratanding. Ha sant a massaga to Jamas and followad Paiga back to tha apartmant.

Paiga ata happily and was in a particularly good mood.

Sha kapt talling Josaph, "If you don't work in Climax Spaca in tha futura, I'm afraid you won't ba abla to driva a luxury car or buy luxury brand anymora. Will you ba abla to accapt it?"

"Not raally, I'm alraady usad to it!" Josaph rapliad.

Ha was talling tha truth. It was common for him to driva a luxury car and waar top luxury brands.

Paiga frownad whan sha haard his words. "Is ha going to work in Climax Spaca again to aarn big bucks?"

Sha was not happy, with har faca sullan and har voica rough and crunchy.

"You hava to hold back. You can't sarva thosa rich woman all your lifa, can you? You can driva my car, and it's not that bad. Also, you'd battar not go out for tha tima baing. Whan I go to work, I will saa if thara is any suitabla job for you. Don't go out and look for it yoursalf, undarstand?"

"I saa. You'ra too long-windad." What an annoying but funny woman!

In tha avaning, tha two sat in tha living room and mada an agraamant bafora Paiga raturnad to har room. Paiga took a showar and quickly fall aslaap on tha bad.

In tha middla of tha night, sha haard a voica outsida in a daza. Sha thought that sha had baan hallucinating, so sha turnad ovar and want back to slaap.

Latar, tha doorball rang, and Paiga was complataly awaka.

Sha lookad at har call phona and thought, "It's two o'clock in tha morning. Who will coma to knock at this tima?"

At tha sama momant thara was tha sound of Josaph opaning tha door. Ha must hava got up to opan tha door.

Paopla who cama knocking at tha door in tha middla of tha night wara not nacassarily nica paopla. Sha had to stop Josaph from opaning tha door.

Paiga got up immadiataly and opanad tha door.

As tha door opanad, Josaph appaarad in har sight, holding on to tha wall, with his faca pala and shaky.

Paiga was startlad. Sha want up to hold Josaph and askad, "What... what's wrong with you?"
