Chapter 110: Chapter 110

Dylan Dunn felt a bit awkward, "Although the money is from my dad, following you, Paige, is entirely my idea. I believe there’s great potential in mixing with you, Paige!"

Mr. Dunn is no fool. Outsiders don’t know Paige Sterling’s real identity; they speculate she only rose through the ranks by relying on men.

But as far as he knows, Paige Sterling founded Penson without Jared Sullivan’s involvement; it’s always been Paige doing all the work.

Yet, even so, Paige Sterling emerged out of nowhere and pushed industry giant Apex aside, which speaks volumes about Penson’s growth prospects.

He sees promise in Penson but feels embarrassed to actively seek collaboration, so he pushed his son forward. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍

Dylan Dunn regretted his previous actions long ago. Although it seemed a bit embarrassing to cling to a woman’s power, it’s a different story if the woman is Paige Sterling, especially since it’s uncertain if one can even manage to hold onto her coattails.

Seeing Paige Sterling remain silent, Dylan Dunn felt anxious, "Paige, can you take me in?"

Penson has already moved past the period of needing money, so a check of several million isn’t necessary.

Therefore, Paige didn’t accept it and casually said, "Being friends works too."

Jared Sullivan often said having more friends opens more avenues, and it’s not unreasonable.

Upon hearing Paige Sterling’s words, Dylan Dunn breathed a sigh of relief. However, if Paige doesn’t accept the check, he won’t be able to report back to his dad.

"Paige, you see, our friendship has just begun, and it’s quite fragile. Don’t you think there should be something substantial to maintain it?"

Paige Sterling raised an eyebrow.

Dylan Dunn followed up, " check, how about using it to maintain our friendship?"

He pushed the check forward again, regretting not seizing the opportunity like Miles Morgan; otherwise, now he would be an important shareholder of Penson, and his dad would regard him more highly.

But Paige Sterling still didn’t accept it. Previously, nobody wanted to give her money, but now trying to offer her money has become difficult.

"Talking about money harms relationships. Be sensible and take it back."

Dylan Dunn was moved and took the check back, "Then, Paige, can I invite you to dinner often in the future?"

Paige Sterling smiled mockingly, "Of course you can."

If you’re not afraid of Mr. Hawthorne’s tricks.

Dylan Dunn felt even more moved, "Paige, you’re so magnanimous. Compared to you, I feel like my brain was clogged with crap in the past. Fortunately, you’re willing to forgive me."

He exaggeratedly nudged Paige Sterling’s shoulder.

Paige Sterling felt he was quite aware of himself.

But upon seeing him nudge over, she quickly moved away, "However, let me be clear, if you’re not excellent, it’ll be hard to be long-term friends with me."

Dylan Dunn looked at himself, "I think I am quite excellent personally, what do you say, Paige?"

Paige Sterling’s mouth twitched; surely, a fool remains a fool, just the manner and the object change.

Paige Sterling stood up, "You ask those around you, let them tell you the truth. If they all say you’re really excellent, then you are truly excellent."

Then Paige Sterling walked away, and Dylan Dunn dumbfoundedly caught hold of his bodyguard, asking, "Do you think I’m excellent?"

Since the salary was in Dylan Dunn’s hands, how could the bodyguard say Dylan Dunn wasn’t excellent?

"Of course, Young Master Dunn is the most excellent person I’ve seen."

Dylan Dunn nodded, then glared, "Did you miss something? Why didn’t you tell Paige Sterling I am excellent when she was around?"

After Paige Sterling walked out of the compartment, she unexpectedly spotted Helen Hale at the corner stairs.

Helen Hale smiled, "I thought I saw a familiar back just now, turns out it’s really you, Miss Sterling."

Paige Sterling nodded to her.

The thing with women, no matter how fierce the struggle within, they still need to smile politely on the surface.

Helen Hale had already walked to Paige Sterling’s side, "Paige, you really possess remarkable tactics, I must commend you."

"Miss Hale exaggerates."

"You truly have no shame!" Helen Hale sneered, "Your father gave birth to you, is it so you could seduce men and become their mistress? If he knew what you’ve done, I doubt he’d want to acknowledge having a daughter like you."

"So don’t trouble yourself, as of now, my father still loves me dearly."

Paige Sterling’s indifferent attitude seemed as though she had never regarded Helen Hale.

Helen Hale gritted her teeth, "Paige, you can lose face, but I absolutely won’t sit by and see a scheming woman like you stay by Julian’s side and destroy him!"

Her expression turned ruthless and reckless, "For the man I love, for him to see your true colors, I don’t care what price I have to pay!"

Paige Sterling saw her displaying such craziness yet her expression didn’t change.

The more indifferent Paige appeared, the more Helen wanted to teach her a lesson.

Helen Hale glanced around, "Miss Sterling, there seem to be no cameras here."

For client privacy protection, there were no cameras in the corridor.

Paige Sterling replied, "Really, maybe there is one and you just haven’t seen it."

Helen Hale with a strange grin approached Paige.

Paige Sterling asked calmly, "Miss Hale, what do you intend to do?"

"Miss Sterling, if everyone knew you pushed me downstairs out of jealousy, I wonder if they’d still like you."

Paige Sterling’s expression remained unfazed, "Miss Hale, I should remind you there’s indeed surveillance here."

Helen Hale glanced up at the corner, "You think I’m foolish? That’s a smoke alarm."

Paige Sterling, "..."

At this moment, Helen Hale’s friends she planned to meet came by, and just as they were about to meet her, they saw Helen suddenly fall down the stairs.

And when they turned around, they saw Paige Sterling standing at the stairway.

Helen Hale believed that at times , Paige Sterling would definitely reach out to grab her; once Paige reached out, she’d be in a tricky situation.

However, Paige didn’t. She simply watched coldly as Helen Hale fell, even with a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth.

Some people think they’re very clever, but actually, they’re just used to treating others as fools.

Helen Hale hesitated briefly and screamed as she fell, quickly attracting the others nearby.

Helen Hale’s plan to frame Paige was spontaneous.

Perhaps it was too much TV; she thought even if she fell down the stairs, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

But when Paige sought to clear herself, it wouldn’t be that simple.

She could even use this to sue Paige.

Unfortunately, she underestimated the damage from falling, especially on glass stairs.

Thus, she was unlucky; not only did she suffer fractures, but her face was deeply cut by glass.

At the bottom of the staircase, feeling the pain on her face, Helen Hale touched her face.

All she found was blood; she screamed and fainted.

The scene was in chaos, and Paige Sterling didn’t bother with Helen Hale; she just left.

She didn’t mention the incident to Julian Hawthorne when she got home.

In her eyes, this incident was hardly worth mentioning.

But the next day, it became a hot topic online. Images captured the bloodied Helen Hale, prompting Helen’s network of Internet users to unanimously accuse Paige as the attacker, with other witnesses adding to the fray, leading to a storm of online condemnation against Paige.

There were even people deliberately stirring the narrative online, revealing Helen Hale as the daughter of the chairman of Apex.

Since Paige Sterling founded Penson, Apex has always been a fierce rival; this time, because she wanted to counter Apex, she resorted to such drastic measures against the daughter of Apex’s chairman.

After pushing someone down, Paige Sterling fled the scene and didn’t visit the victim in the hospital afterward.
