Chapter 337
Charles frowned at Ethan''s bloody face and immediately ordered his driver as they were driving out of
the police station, "Head to hospital now!"
Ethan wiped the blood on his face before eximing, "I''m fine! I don''t need to go to the hospital!"
Charles did not insist after hearing his words, "Drive us to Ethan''s house then!"
The driver immediately turned and headed to Merton Condominium. Charles followed Ethan off the car
when they arrived and coughed as he said, "That incidentst night…..stays between us!"
Ethan turned and stared at him, "Shouldn''t you give me an exnation for your actions, uncle?"
"An exnation?" Charles asked with a sneer.
"Where do I even start? Sophia and I were both set up and we somehow ended up on bed together."
"That''s it?" Ethan retorted.
"What? Did you think that I would be interested in a woman that you slept with?" Charles replied coldly,
"I''m saying this not because I think that I''m disappointing your aunt, but make sure you forget about
this incident if you don''t want to upset her."
Ethan understood the meaning behind his words immediately. However, he was confused as to how
Charles could pretend nothing had happened.
Charles had taken out his temper on Elizabeth by scolding and hitting her, and Ethan felt that it was a
pity as it was obvious that Charles did not care about her at all.
Why would he marry Elizabeth if he had no feelings for her then?
Ethan thought as he tried to control the rage burning inside him, "I promise to keep this a secret from
my aunt if you promise never to meet Sophia again."
"Alright, stop nagging, I know what to do," Charles waved impatiently, "Remember to go back and
come up with an excuse so that you can answer your aunt when she questions you about it!"
Charles got in his car and left after reminding Ethan.
Ethan sighed as he watched the car drive out of the condominium.
He realised everyone wore masks and never treated anyone sincerely. Instead, they were all
pretending to help each other while trying to stab each other in the back.
Ethan couldn''t help but look back at the carefree days when he was still dating Paige. Paige had
always been sincere and she had never betrayed him.
What did he do in return?
He cheated on her!
Ethan suddenly remembered that he had fainted while trying to stop a waitress from carrying Paige into
the elevator.
He was worried about her.
He immediately picked up his phone to call her, but only a robotic voice could be heard from the other
end, "The number that you''ve dialled is engaged, please try againter!"
Ethan felt ashamed as he hung up. How could he have forgotten that Paige had blocked him after their
fight?
As he thought about how Paige had taken care of him when he was injured, Ethan teared up once he
realised that he could never mend his rtionship with Paige anymore.
He had only realised how important Paige was after losing her.
However, it was impossible for him to get her back, and no amount of regret could change this fact.
Paige picked up her phone to read the news as soon as she woke up the next morning.
Joseph reached out and pulled her back into his arms, "It''s still early, so why don''t we sleep a little
longer?"
"I can''t fall back asleep anymore! You can go ahead and rest more, I''ll read the news!" She answered
gently as she escaped from his arms.
Joseph reached for her again and caught her, "Just a little more!"
In the end, Joseph sat up and let go of Paige as he had been woken up by her attempts to escape.
Other than a report on what happened in Halcyon Hotel, there was nothing special on the news today.
Paige was scrolling through the news about Den when she saw that the police had found out that
Den had been dealing with thousands of packets of drugs.
However, she was sure that Lamont had not found arge number of drugs when he was exploring
Den''s house.

Where did the drugse from then?
Paige thought before ncing at Joseph, "Did you do this?"
"Yes." Joseph nodded.
"Where did you find the drugs?"
"It''s just drugs. Every household keeps some, right?" Joseph answered jokingly.
"Tell me the truth! I have no time for your jokes!" Joseph coughed dryly before answering, "I told my
men to add some flour to the drugs because I thought that there were too little drugs around him!"
"Why did you do that?" Paige was stunned.
"They all look the same anyways, so why not?" Joseph replied with a smile.
"You''re too evil!" Paige scolded as she pinched his arm, "How could you be this evil, Joseph?"
"Stop, it hurts!" Joseph eximed as he massaged his arm to soothe the pain, "Are you trying to
murder your husband?"
"Wait, this is too strange. The police would have been able to tell that those are flour!" Paige couldn''t
believe what she was listening to.
Joseph smiled again, "It doesn''t matter whether those are real drugs or not. As long as a few people
believe a lie, a lie can be the truth easily as well."
"Den didn''t stand a chance against you after all?"
"Of course! God should make him pay for his sins!" Joseph smiled but in truth, he had never really
believed in God.
Den might not have done anything to Joseph, but he had dared to mess around with Paige, and
Joseph was determined to make sure that Den would be paying the price.
After all, he had been messing around with his woman, so he had to bear with the consequences of
doing so then.
Paige felt extremely relieved after hearing Joseph''s confident words, "I''m sure my dad heard the news
right? I wonder what he thinks about Charles sleeping with Sophia?"
"He would probably be excited as it means that he would be Charles'' father-inw now that Sophia
slept with him! After all, he has always wanted to have connections with the Dawson family right?"
Joseph asked jokingly.
"You''re right! I should ask him for a reward as the main contributor to his sess, right?" Paige asked
in return.
"That''s right! Why do we go see him now then?" Joseph replied, humouring her.
"Alright, alright, let''s stop here. He would be enraged if I went to see him to ask for a reward now,"
Paige giggled.
"There''s another thing I''m curious about. Now that Sophia has slept with Elizabeth''s husband, I wonder
whether the both of them would end up fighting each other?"
Joseph immediately stopped smiling, "I think they''ll try to keep it a secret from Elizabeth for now, but
they probably will end up arguing once she finds out."
"Right? I can''t wait to see the expressions on their faces when they start arguing!"
Joseph nudged her nose before replying, "Alright, let''s have breakfast, then we can enjoy the show!"
