Chapter 358: Chapter 358

Mona Wright and Seth Shaw thought they were hiding in the laboratory without anyone knowing, but in fact, everything was caught on the surveillance equipment.

The lab was full of surveillance cameras, covering 365 degrees without any blind spots.

However, the security guard, upon discovering this, immediately told Miles Morgan. Miles thought it was interesting and asked the guard to hold off for now, then informed Paige Sterling.

It just so happened that Paige needed to come to the lab to fetch a document, so she came along with Miles.

At this moment, Paige rolled her eyes indifferently, "Do I look like a woman who would kill someone?"

Miles nodded honestly. Every day Paige wore a face brimming with murderous intent, giving off the impression that she might wipe out an entire family at any moment.

Paige chuckled, "So I’m that terrible in your eyes."

Miles shivered, "No, no, Paige, in my heart, your image is unbeatable!"

Then he quickly changed the topic and asked Paige, "So, what happened to him?"

Paige replied, "His screaming was just too annoying, so I slapped him a few times."

His face was swollen like a pig’s head; it didn’t seem casual at all.

However, Miles didn’t dare question Paige; anyway, if she says it was casual, then it was casual.

And considering how cruel Paige was to her ex-boyfriend, one couldn’t help but wonder if she’d be even harsher to her husband.

Silently, Miles felt a bit sympathetic towards Julian Hawthorne. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

As Miles was thinking, he suddenly noticed Seth Shaw’s fingers twitching on the floor.

Even passed out, his fingers were moving?

Unexpectedly, this Seth Shaw was such a coward, even pretending to faint.

Miles’ eyes darted around. He walked around Seth Shaw and, pretending to be careless, stomped on Seth’s fingers a few times. Not just that, he even jumped up and landed heavily, making Seth feel like he wanted to reincarnate out of pain.

Yet, the demon was too terrifying. He’d rather be stepped on a few more times than wake up to face Paige’s poisonous clutches.

Afterward, Miles asked Paige, "Should we call the police, Paige?"

Paige looked at Miles, "Do you treat your exes as cruelly as this?"

Paige, "Even though he’s heartless and ungrateful, I can’t be unkind."

Miles asked, "So, we’re not calling the police?"

Paige nodded, "Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, let’s spare him."

Miles was a bit dumbfounded. Knowing Paige for so long, he had never seen her being this kind.

It always felt like Paige’s kindness was accompanied by some conspiracy.

Paige gave a soft hum of approval.

Seeing this, Miles scratched his head, "Alright, you guys better leave quickly."

Fearing that Paige might change her mind, Mona Wright quickly dragged the pretending-to-be-passed-out Seth Shaw away.

Once they left, Paige threw a USB drive to Miles, onto which she had just copied files from the computer, "Send the video to the Wright Family and Abbott Family. If they don’t want their children to go to jail, pay up — 50 million each, not a penny less."

"...", so Paige’s kindness was non-existent, "Paige, this is extortion, right?"

Paige lifted her gaze, "Hmm, what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing, Paige, you’re just too smart!"

If they called the police, they wouldn’t get any compensation. By directly using the video to threaten the two families, it was different. Whether it was to protect their children or their family’s reputation, they would pay up.

Ah, it seemed like Paige was really wasting her talents by not becoming a fraudster or something.

Ultimately, as Paige predicted, both families indeed settled the matter with money.

Miles asked Paige how to handle the money, and Paige said, "Transfer it to a charity account, I have big plans over there recently."

Miles was immediately intrigued, "Paige, what big plans? I’ve been quite free recently, if there’s anything I can help with, I’m always at your service."

Paige thought for a moment and replied, "I’ve applied with the state to establish a research school, selecting children with a talent for science from across the country through examinations and training them from an early age. The application got approved..."

Miles’ eyes widened, this was a huge project! Something that could be remembered throughout history!

"Paige! Please, you have to include me!"

Miles knew that someone like him couldn’t possibly handle any important positions; Paige would surely collaborate with people from the scientific community for key roles.

But he could at least do some odd jobs or supervise the construction.

"Paige! Even if you let me move bricks and help with construction at the school, give your little brother this opportunity!"

Paige, "...I was planning to let you be the dean, but since you like moving bricks so much, go ahead and move bricks."

Miles was a bit dumbfounded but quickly realized.

A dean was definitely a position of authority! Paige really valued him!

"Paige, Paige, don’t worry! I’ll surely be a competent dean!"

Upon learning that Paige wanted Miles to be the dean, Mom and Dad Morgan were also dumbfounded. Letting their son be the dean of such a school, was Paige serious?

Their son didn’t seem like someone who could take on such a role.

However, although they doubted their son’s reliability, knowing he was to become the dean made Mom and Dad Morgan happy.

Looking back, how mixed up their son used to be, never achieving anything no matter how much they tried. Now, ever since becoming Paige’s follower, he could even land the dean role.

Mom and Dad Morgan felt their son was truly lucky and earnestly advised him to take his dean role seriously and not betray Paige’s trust.

Miles knew this without needing to be reminded by his parents.

So even before taking the post, he asked Dad Morgan to introduce him to a relative working as a dean for some guidance.

Paige didn’t say much upon hearing it.

Generally speaking, children who have a talent for science also have strong self-discipline, needing no one to supervise them constantly, only occasional guidance on their values when necessary.

Moreover, too rigid control could suppress their talent. Thus, the dean’s role seemed both crucial and trivial.

All that’s needed is to lead students out for some fun whenever appropriate.

And in terms of eating, drinking, and having fun, Miles was the expert.

While Paige’s science school was in full swing, on the other hand, Rose Payne participated in the new edition of the DQ Cup painting competition.

This was a triennial painting competition, fully broadcasted live, and held significant weight in the country. The first-place winners of each edition almost always became famous figures in the art world afterward.

As the competition lasted for a month, during which Rose Payne, who was barely noticed and barely advanced in the bottom ranks, made a stunning comeback in the finals with a painting titled "Rainbow," receiving unanimous praise from all judges and popularity among the voting audience, ultimately claiming the top prize with a sensational surprise.

Moreover, the painting "Rainbow" caught the eye of a businessman fond of artwork, who purchased it from Rose Payne for five million.

With this five million, Rose Payne began her entrepreneurial journey.

She had long written her business plan and previously sought out investors everywhere, yet no one paid attention to her.

Now things were different; she had her money, going it alone. Any profits henceforth would all be hers.

Those with no foresight, don’t even think about getting a piece of the pie, humph!
