Chapter 262


    "What?" Paige questioned in disbelief.


    "Jeez, there''s no need to be so loud," Joseph chuckled and he wondered if Paige was jealous of


    Paisley. Putting his thoughts into action, he asked, "Are you jealous?"


    "Yes, I am! I''m telling you, Joseph Dawson, you can only like me. You''re not allowed to like other


    women, do you understand?"


    "Of course. I only like you, my little angel. Don''t worry, I''II keep my distance from other women."


    "You''d better do so", Paige grumbled. "Remember, stay away from Ms. Anthony and don''t speak with


    her unless it''s for work. Am I clear?"


    "Yes, crystal clear. I''ll always remember that I belong to Paige Anderson."


    Paige let out a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone although she still felt a little uneasy. She still felt


    the need to talk with him when he returned home from workter that night. At the very least, Joseph


    needed to know what Paisley had told her that day on the cruise.


    Then, since she had nothing else to do, Paige decided to put Joseph and her dirty clothes to wash.


    On her way to theundry room, the maid spotted her and quickly came forth to say,


    "You can leave it to me, Miss Anderson." Paige shook her head and insisted, "I can do it. I have nothing


    else to do. Plus, it''ll be like an exercise for me. I''m trying to lose weight, anyway." Upon hearing that,


    the maid nodded and didn''t press on it anymore.


    Paige had only thrown the clothes into the washing machine when Danya, holding aundry basket in


    her hands, entered theundry room. It seemed like she was going to doundry too.


    Noticing that Paige was in theundry room, Danya''s face distorted in disdain for a moment before


    concealing it. Then, she pretended to be concerned and asked, "Miss Anderson, are you here to do


    laundry as well?"


    Paige hummed as an agreement. She didn''t feel good about Danya.


    "I didn''t think Miss Anderson as someone who would do their ownundry. You know, I''ve been doing


    these works for Ms. Anthony since she was young."


    Paige glimpsed at Danya, wondering what her tricks were up in her sleeves. Wasn''t what happened at


    lunch enough to let her know her ce?


    So, Paige shrugged. After she closed the washing machine''s door, she focused on pouring theundry


    detergent into the designatedpartment.


    Her indifference didn''t bother Danya. It also didn''t stop her from beginning topliment Paisley, "Ms.


    Anthony has been a bright child since young. She''s smart and beautiful. Do you know she won a lot of


    awards and she went to the best university in the country? Everyone likes her and she''s the role model


    of a daughter of the upper-ss family."


    Paige scoffed, "You''re exaggerating. Indeed, Ms. Anthony is a brilliant woman, but it wouldn''t be to the


    point that no one dislikes her. I mean, for starters, I don''t like her."


    Danya was trying to lower Paige''s self-confidence byparing her with Paisley.


    However, who would''ve thought that Paige would be so unpredictable.


    As a daughter of a wealthy family, Paige shouldn''t disy her dissatisfaction even if shepletely


    disagreed with Danya.


    However, not only did Paige showed it, but she also expressed it out loud. At this point, Danya wasn''t


    even sure if Paige was senseless or she was just really uneducated as ady. Danya was about to


    speak before Paige interrupted her.


    "If Ms. Anthony is as extraordinary as you said, she must have a lot of suitors, right?"


    "That''s for sure! I can''t even count how many outstanding young men are courting Ms. Anthony,"


    Danya answered with pride. As she was about to continue with her praises, Paige interrupted her once


    again.

    "Well, I feel better after hearing that," She seemed genuinely relieved, but what she said next was


    harsh and unpleasant to Danya''s ears.


    "Frankly speaking, since Joseph is so amiable and he looked so handsome, I''m a little worried that Ms.


    Anthony might not be able to resist the temptation. But after listening to what you''ve told me, she surely


    wouldn''t want to ruin others'' rtionships, don''t you think so?"


    Danya''s face darkened, but she took a deep breath to control her temper. "Of course she wouldn''t.


    Miss Paisley would do no such thing!"


    Hearing this made Paige grinned. "I thought so too. Ms. Anthony is a modest and aplished young


    woman. I also don''t think she''ll do such a shameless act. But you should also know that there are many


    shameless women nowadays and they like to go after other people''s men on purpose. You can''t even


    tell who''s the wolf in sheep''s clothing sometimes. I have to learn this the hard way."


    Danya''s blood boiled at Paige''s words. She thought she could get on Paige''s nerves byparing her


    with Paisley. But she never expected herself to be triggered instead.


    Then, she suddenly realized that Paige''s words had a deeper meaning to them.


    Eyeing Paige with caution, Danya was worried that Paige had found out what Hayden and Paisley were


    nning. If that was the case, she had to inform Paisley so that they could prepare in advance.


    At the thought of it, Danya did not dwell any longer with Paige. After loading theundry in a hurry, she


    went back to her room and sent a message to Paisley, "Miss, Paige seems to have picked up on our


    n. I spoke with her earlier, and she was acting quite weirdly."


    "I told her that Sir Hayden is fond of me. Of course she''ll be on her guard," Paisley replied.


    "I see. How are you doing in thepany, Miss? How is Sir Joseph treating you?"


    Paisley''s reply was quick. "I''m fine. Joseph is very chivalrous."


    "I''m relieved to hear that, Miss. Anyway, you have to beware of Paige. I''ve never seen any decent


    woman who is as shameless as she is."


    "Don''t mind her. She won''t be happy for long. I''m going outstation with Joseph today, so we won''t be


    going hometer. Let''s see what Paige can do about that."


    Danya was exhrated to hear that from Paisley. "Really? Miss, then you must seize the opportunity!


    This is a good chance to make Paige realize that she''s not worthy of Joseph."


    On the other hand, Paige only knew about the business trip in the evening. Joseph called, "Paige, I''m


    not going home tonight. You should stay at home and be good, okay? I''ll try toe back tomorrow."


    Paige was a little worried to hear Joseph say so, and she asked, "Did something trickye up at the


    company?"


    "Don''t worry, it''s not something that I can''t handle. It''s just that I can''te home to you tonight. I


    promise I''ll make it up to you when Ie back."


    In the evening, Paige had dinner together with Danya and the other employees in the vi. After dinner,


    she went for a short walk around the garden.


    When she returned to the vi''s living room, Danya was rattling about how perfect Paisley was with the


    employees. Coming from a renowned family, Paisley had taken part in many business negotiations,


    and all were sessful.


    However, Paige only felt her stomach turn when she heard Paisley''s achievement. It was probably


    because she already knew Paisley''s true colors. Paige went straight back to her bedroom with her


    phone.


    Right as she closed the door behind her, Abbie called. There was nothing they couldn''t tell each other.


    So, Paige naturally told Abbie about Paisley, who had alsoe to Sydney.


    She also told Abbie about Paisley''s encounter with a robbery and having no ce to stay. Abbie asked


    in surprise, "Are you saying that Paisley is living with the both of you now?"


    "Yes. And that butler of hers was throwing knives at me all day! I''m furious!" Paige added and she also


    told Abbie about their dispute at theundry room earlier that day.


    "I agree with you, Paige. Paisley is definitely very suspicious. And I have reasons to believe that she''s


    nning something that involves seducing Joseph. So, you''d better watch out."


    Paige yelped, "You think so too? Then what should I do now? Joseph just called and told me that he


    and Paisley are going outstation for business and that they won''te home tonight."


    Abbie immediatelyforted her, "Don''t worry too much. I don''t think she''ll act recklessly so fast. After


    all, she''s from a distinguished family. Paisley is not as reckless as Sophia."


    "I''m still worried. I''m going to have a video call with Josephter to see what''s going on."


    "Well, you keep an eye on your beloved Joseph. By the way, I saw your dad and his assistant in front of


    a test center today. It was unusual, so I went and asked about it. They said your dad was going for a


    paternity test.”
