    Chapter 269


    Meanwhile, Joseph wasn''t as angry as Danya had imagined. He immediately went to call Paige.


    He knew Paige very well.


    She could even tolerate vicious and despicable people like Sophia and Ethan. Why would she


    inexplicably try to fight Paisley''s butler?


    Joseph articted his thoughts before he called Paige, to which she answered almost instantly, "Yes?"


    "Paige, did something happen between you and Ms. Anthony''s butler?"


    "How did you know?" Paige retorted, "Did she call you toin about it?"


    "Yes. She said that you seem displeased with her and that you deliberately ask the maid to only cook


    spicy food so she couldn''t eat. You even send the maid home and cleared out all the ingredients in the


    fridge on purpose. Is that true?"


    "Are you questioning me?" Paige asked.


    "No, I know you''re not that petty. Did something else happen?"


    "That''s right, I''m not petty. But even you''d hit back when you''re challenged again and again," Paige


    fumed.


    "Let me tell you, that Danya Moore is really too much. She provoked me first. She was insinuating


    things with her words. I can''t hold back my anger any more! She deserves it, you know."


    Joseph frowned at Paige''s words.


    She wouldn''t lie to him, so it would mean that Danya had really started the feud between them. Who


    did she think she was?


    Joseph was especially protective of his friends and family. He would let no one, not even someone


    from an influential family, harass the people he loved and wanted to protect.


    A servant like Danya had really crossed the line.


    Joseph felt disgusted. Paisley had saved Hayden''s life before. Thus, he invited Paisley and Danya to


    live with them as a token of appreciation.


    He didn''t think that a mere servant would have the nerve to speak ill of Paige to him.


    Joseph immediatelyforted Paige, "Don''t be mad. I didn''t think she''d brazenlyin to me after


    she provoked you first. It seems like the Anthony family is really bad at cultivating their employees''


    manners."


    Paige scoffed, "A mere servant like that probably picked it up from the person she serves. Birds of the


    same feather flock together."


    At the same time, Paisley, who pretended to be unconscious on the hospital bed, listened to every


    word Joseph said.


    She thought Joseph was going to chide Paige for being immature and irresponsible, but who knew he


    would point fingers at the Anthony family.


    Paisley''s heart sank.


    Danya told her that Paige was aggravated and that they had the upper hand. However, it certainly


    didn''t seem like it.


    Yet, there was nothing she could do about it because she should be unconscious at the moment. She


    was on edge, and she could only hope that Lucas would help them and say something.


    Lucas, also in the same wardroom, heard Joseph''s conversation with Paige and he immediately


    interjected with a smile.


    "Mr. Dawson, Danya has worked for the Anthony family for so many years. I think, at the very least, she


    should be able to differentiate between what''s right and wrong."


    "Are you saying that Paige lied?" Joseph peered at Lucas.


    Lucasughed warily at the death re that he received from Joseph, but he had to stand firm on his


    ground.


    "We still don''t know the whole story. Anyway, I think Miss Anderson should order dinner for Danya for


    the time being. After all, Danya is Ms. Anthony''s butler. It''s inappropriate to let her starve at our vi."


    Joseph sneered and retorted, "Are you out of your mind? Why would Paige help the person who had


    humiliated her again and again? Even you wouldn''t do that, let alone her, who''s from a respectableBelonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    family."


    "Uhm... I..." Joseph''s words had silenced Lucas.


    On the other end of the line, Paige heard the exchanges between Joseph and Lucas.


    She almostughed out loud in ridicule. She couldn''t believe that Danya actually had the nerve to ask


    Joseph to push her into ordering dinner for Danya.


    Fortunately, Joseph was on Paige''s side.


    Paige would definitely throw a fit if he asked her to order a meal for Danya, as per Lucas''s suggestion.


    Joseph shifted his attention back to Paige after he scolded Lucas. He soothed, "You calm down, okay?


    I''lle back with Bobby right away."


    "I thought you''re staying there to keep Ms. Anthonypany?" Paige asked.


    "Ms. Anthony is fine. Leaving just Lucas here would be enough," Joseph said dismissively


    Since the doctor said Paisley would be fine after some rest, Joseph was eager to go back to Paige.


    Joseph immediately made arrangements with Lucas after he hung up the call since there was no big


    issue with Paisley.


    "I''m worried about leaving Paige alone at home, so Bobby and I are going back at once. Lucas, you


    stay here with Ms. Anthony."


    "Uh... I don''t think that would be appropriate, Mr. Dawson."


    "What''s the matter?" Joseph asked.


    "Ms. Anthony is sick because she came to help us. It''ll be hard for me to exin to her if you leave her


    like this."


    "That''s why I leave you here. You''ve been working by Grandpa''s side for decades. Don''t tell me you


    can''t even do such a simple task?" Joseph sneered.


    Lucas was flustered when he had his ability doubted by Joseph. Leaving no time for Lucas to react,


    Joseph turned around and gestured to Bobby, "Let''s go."


    Then, they left the wardroom, and Lucas could do nothing about it. Paisley also did not need to pretend


    anymore. She opened her eyes and got up from the bed, asking, "What are we going to do next?"


    Lucas had no idea, either. Everything was going ording to their n, but it seemed like Danya


    messed up over at the vi. So, he asked, "Do you know about what Danya did?"


    Paisley hesitated, and Lucas frowned at her reaction.


    He said sternly, "Ms. Anthony, you saw how angry Mr. Dawson is. I need to know what you''ve done.


    Otherwise, how are we going to exin it if Mr. Dawson found out?"


    "I asked her to annoy Paige, but I don''t know how she did it. By right, she should be able to handle


    such a simple task," Paisley answered warily.


    Paisley had never taken Paige seriously. In her eyes, Paige was someone who was just a trophy wife.


    However, Danya was different. She had been working for Paisley for many years, and Paisley knew


    how neatly Danya handled things. Danya shouldn''t have failed at such a simple task.


    "Call her and ask about it," Lucas urged.


    So, Paisley called Danya as told but Danya didn''t answer the phone.


    Paisley was a little tense. She couldn''t help but worry if something happened to Danya. It wasn''t like


    her to not pick up a call from Paisley.


    "I think we should go back and see what''s going on for ourselves," Paisley suggested.


    There was no other way that Lucas could choose. So, he agreed, "Okay. I''ll go arrange for our leave


    later."


    Meanwhile, in the vi, Danya was anticipating the meal that Paige would order for her after being


    scolded by Joseph.


    She was exhrated just at the thought of Paige being told off by Joseph.


    Therefore, she left her room to walk to Paige''s door and waited patiently. Then, she finally heard


    Paige''s voice.


    "Fine, I won''t be angry. I''ll order food for Danya right away as you wish, okay?" Danya almost jumped in


    joy when she heard Paige yielded in.


    She snorted and whispered, "Not as strong-willed as you acted, are you?"


    She must grasp the chance to poke fun at Paigeter when the food arrived.


    Just as Danya thought Paige was going to order food for her, Paige made another phone call again.


    Instead of the foreignnguage, Danya overheard Paige spoke in English, "Hey Abbie, guess what


    happened today. It''s so funny. I must let you know."


    Wasn''t she supposed to order food?


    Why did she call her friend instead?
