Chapter 263: Chapter 263

Gudes was beaten so badly his face was bruised, he started questioning his life.

In the end, Paige couldn’t stand it anymore, and out of humanitarian concern, she rescued Gudes from the beating.

The heroic rescue turned into getting beaten like a bear; Gudes was embarrassed, "God Sterling, this was all an accident..."

Paige chuckled, "Wasn’t this something you’d planned?"

Gudes said, "...God Sterling, so you knew all along..."

He felt so defeated...

Seeing the group of people run away, Paige asked Gudes, "Tell me, who gave you that idea?"

Gudes betrayed Skylar Hughes without any loyalty.

He was now suspicious that Skylar tricked him, otherwise, why would those people attack him too?

Seeing he wasn’t totally hopeless, Paige smiled, "Give her a call."

Gudes didn’t ask why and immediately dialed Skylar’s number.

Skylar asked on the other end, "How did it go? Was the plan a success?"

Paige took the phone, "What do you think?"

There was a moment of silence from Skylar’s side.

As soon as Paige spoke, she knew the plan had failed.

Not only had it failed, but Gudes had also betrayed her.

Skylar coldly laughed, indeed, men aren’t reliable, good thing she was prepared.

Skylar immediately said, "Paige, I was only trying to help Gudes because he was so devoted to you. I didn’t mean to harm you..."

"Of course." Paige said, "I’m not calling to accuse you, but just to tell you I’m fine, happy now?"

She knew it was just to make her annoyed!

Paige is getting more and more wicked!

After hanging up the phone, Paige realized, without her noticing, Julian had silently appeared behind her. Updates are released by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

His eyes coldly fixed on Gudes, "She said you’re devoted to my wife?"

Skylar had spoken to Paige in Chinese, which Gudes didn’t understand.

But now Julian translated into English, Gudes understood.

Gudes looked shocked; he wasn’t head-over-heels for Paige! He wasn’t trying to steal her away; he just wanted to have her as his mentor!

Did his expression lead Skylar to mistakenly think he was pursuing Paige?

Gudes shook his head wildly, "No, no, no, she’s my God, Gods cannot be defiled..."

Paige rubbed her temples and said to Gudes, "You should leave now."

Gudes said, "But I haven’t..."

"We’ll talk about the mentorship later."

This was the first time in a long while that Paige said something ; it meant there was room for discussion.

Gudes dared not linger, fearing he might upset Paige and she might change her mind. He immediately ran off with a silly grin, shouting and hollering like a madman.

Julian had driven today too.

After Paige got in the car and saw he wasn’t talking, she asked, "Mr. Hawthorne, are you mad?"

Julian pursed his lips and said flatly, "No."

Somehow, she didn’t quite believe him.

Paige sneaked a glance at Julian, seeing his face tense and rigid, she said, "You’re obviously angry, why not be honest?"

Julian said, "I speak honestly, and you think I’m petty."

Paige, "...Exactly what are you angry about? Is this my fault?"

Julian said, "What’s going on between you and Gudes?"

Paige said, "There’s nothing going on, you know this right?"

Julian didn’t say anything; of course, he knew, but knowing didn’t change his mood, he was still unhappy.

Paige noticed he was sulking, and she sneakily reached her hand over to scratch the back of Mr. Hawthorne’s hand, "Alright, alright, let’s go home."

Mr. Hawthorne seized the opportunity, "Kiss me first."

Paige leaned over and kissed Julian, just as they pulled apart, before Julian could even lock the car door, the back seat door was suddenly flung open.

A man and a woman climbed in, then started kissing and tearing at each other’s clothes, so much that Paige couldn’t restrain her expression, staring in shock.

Julian immediately covered her eyes.

The couple that climbed into the car hadn’t realized anyone was in the front seats, they continued their passionate work.

Paige suspected if she suddenly spoke, they’d be scared stiff.

So, Paige stayed silent.

Julian stayed silent too.

The two of them exchanged silent glances.

Paige used her eyes to ask Julian, "What are you thinking?"

Julian responded with his eyes, "Get a different car."

Paige Sterling, "...make them pay."

Julian Hawthorne, "Okay."

So neither of them moved, planning to make them pay as soon as those two finished their business.

Did they think their car was a convenience hotel? Just get in whenever they wanted?

So after those two finished, the voice they heard was Paige Sterling’s, "Finished so quickly?"

The sudden voice sounded eerily sinister.

The two looked terrified, their bodies jolted hard, "You... you... you guys..."

Especially the woman, seeing Paige Sterling, her face was beyond shock.

"Paige Sterling, how could it be you? How could you be in our car?"

Paige maintained a cold smile, "Ms. Hughes, this is our car, thank you."

Indeed, this woman was Chloe Hughes.

The man was also a celebrity, and most importantly, he had a family and portrayed himself in the media as a good man, husband, and father. He and his wife were even called a model couple.

But now they were caught in this scene firsthand, the man looked a bit embarrassed and belatedly started to cover his face.

"We got into the wrong car."

Paige, "Don’t bother covering, I know you."

The man, "...", Damn, such disrespect, aren’t you afraid I’d kill you to keep my secret?

The atmosphere was tense for quite a while as Chloe awkwardly tried to open the car door to leave.

But the car door was locked shut by Julian Hawthorne.

Julian remembered Paige’s earlier words well, "A car tainted by others, I won’t want anymore, pay us, the car is yours."

The car was just purchased, and the receipt was still inside.

Julian grabbed it and threw it in the back, "This car is cheap, but the sour delay from you cost us valuable time, totaling thirty million."

Thirty million is considered cheap?

And this car was only twenty million, where did the extra ten million come from? Damn, even selling time doesn’t work .

Were these two robbing them?

Then Julian didn’t even give them a chance to protest, he added, "Don’t pay, I’ll release the surveillance footage."

Then pointed to the back, only then they realized, this car not only had a dash cam, but damn, there was even surveillance in the corners.

Installing surveillance in a car, must they be so heartless?

Chloe and the man’s faces turned very ugly.

As the mistress, if the video got exposed, Chloe could already foresee her fate.

Chloe looked at Paige, "Paige, I am..."

Paige, "Don’t try to connect with me, the car’s not mine."

Then Paige put on sunglasses, looking unapproachable and indifferent.

Chloe awkwardly smiled, "Paige, Aunt knows, you’ve always been a smart kid."

Smart people, naturally knowing what to say when seeing such a scene.

"You got it wrong," Paige said, "I should be clever beyond compare to even think of a way to make money ."

Seeing Chloe’s approach was futile, the man had no choice but to step up himself.

He was also a public figure, if that kind of video got exposed, his career would be over.

"I’ll apologize to you, it’s really..."

Yet the man saw from the rearview mirror Julian’s indifferent eyes, seemingly saying, is your apology worth anything?

The man immediately fell silent.

In the end, after back and forth, Julian and Paige stuck firmly to thirty million, not a penny less.

What else could they do?

No choice, that money had to be paid despite the reluctance.

Seeing the man actually took out thirty million instantly, Paige clicked her tongue, seem to have profited quite a bit huh.

After leaving the car behind, Paige and Julian walked away.

Chloe and the man sat in the car. Now the tape was retrieved, and they even got a car. Chloe was thinking of sweet-talking to make the man gift her the car.

Who knew, after Paige and Julian left, the man flipped out.

"Don’t come looking for me again! Get off the car!"

If it weren’t for Chloe today, would he be extorted for tens of millions?

Plus, could he dare to drive such a car?

Of course, tens of millions, he was reluctant to give it away.

The man heartlessly kicked her out, Chloe was exceedingly wronged, trying to appeal, only to make the man more disgusted, directly pulling her off the car.

Watching the car drive off, Chloe stomped in anger amidst the exhaust, men were truly unreliable!

How come she didn’t have the luck like Yvette Hughes to meet someone like Jared Sullivan?

And Paige, that little brat! Dare to treat her ?
