"Help! Help me, please!" She was shaking uncontrollably as she must be scared out of her wits.
"Ms. Anthony?" Lucas cried out in surprise.
Without hesitation, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Meanwhile, Joseph opened his eyes when he heard Lucas's exclaim. Initially, he was going to continue to doze through the minor accident.
It turned out that Paisley was the unkempt woman who had stopped the car. Shocked by the realization, Joseph also got out of the car.
Paisley wasn't looking like the decent and elegant young lady as she should be. Her hair and her clothes were in a mess, and even one of her shoes was missing.
When she saw Joseph, she lunged towards him and hugged him pleadingly, "Mr. Dawson! Please, help me!"
"What happened?" Joseph asked stiffly. He didn't expect Paisley to clutch onto him.
He wasn't used to being held by other women like this. He wanted to push Paisley away, but she tightened her arms around him as she was still trembling.
"Someone robbed me! They robbed me with knives... And they took all of my belongings! I escaped, but my companions are still there. Mr. Dawson, please save them!"
"Go and have a look!" Joseph gestured to Bobby, who immediately complied and he walked towards the alley that Paisley had just run out of.
Around ten minutes later, Bobby returned to them while carrying a passed-out woman on his back. Once Paisley saw Bobby, she quickly let go of Joseph and ran towards him while shouting, "Danya! Danya! Wake up!"
"Ms. Anthony, I think she's passed out. We should bring her to the hospital first and let the doctor tend to her!" Lucas said while he helped Bobby to get Danya into the car.
Then, everyone got into the car and they headed straight to the hospital.
On their way there, Danya regained consciousness. Still thinking that they were in danger, she began yelling once she opened her eyes, "Help! Miss, run!"
"I'm here! Danya, I'm here!" Paisley said as she was grabbing Danya's hands in an instant to assure her.
"Are you alright, Miss?" Danya looked up and down at Paisley in concern.
"I'm fine. Thank goodness I ran into Mr. Dawson…. Danya, how do you feel? Hold on for a little more while, okay? We'll be at the hospital soon!"
"I'm fine... I'm only a little dizzy. That b*stard hit me in the head," After answering Paisley, Danya suddenly remembered something, "Where is our luggage?"
"They took our luggage," Paisley sighed.
"What should we do now?" Danya was full of regret. "It's all my fault..."
"At least both of you are safe. Let's forget about the luggage for now and have a thorough checkup at the hospital first," Lucas interjected.
"I'm fine. There's no need to go to the hospital! It's just that we lost our passports and our bank cards... How are we going to survive in Sydney without money or a passport?"
Danya was worried sick, "Miss, you should call Sir Hardy right now. He can solve this."
"What can he do? Getting a new passport isn't something that can be done in a day or two, Paisley sighed. "Now, we can only find somewhere to stay for the night and go to the embassy to get a new passport tomorrow. Oh, we also have to file a police report."
Indeed, requesting a new passport in a foreign country would take days. Besides, Paisley and Danya were undoubtedly in dire need to get a place to stay.
Lucas took a glance at Joseph and said, "Sir Joseph, it looks like Miss Paisley and her chaperone have nowhere to go. Since there are so many rooms in the villa, why don't we take them in? At least for tonight? In that case, they'll only have to worry about getting their new passports."
"Okay," Joseph nodded in agreement.
And thus, it was decided that Paisley and Danya were going back to the villa with Joseph. Meanwhile,
Paige had been playing games alone in the living room after she had dinner. When she finally heard the engine of Joseph's car, she got up and went to the door to welcome him.
Not expecting that there would be guests,
Paige ran towards Joseph and threw herself into Joseph's arms while acting cutely, Joseph, you're finally back! I'm so bored. I was going to call you if you were out any longer!"
Joseph wrapped his arms around Paige's waist and pulled her into an embrace. He tapped lightly on her nose and said, "I knew you would be bored. It's okay, we're going out tomorrow. Also, by the way, we have guests!"
Upon hearing Joseph's words, Paige turned to look at the car and asked, "Guests? Who's that?" Then, she saw Danya climbing out of the car awkwardly in the dim light.
Danya was Paisley's butler. Paige didn't recognize her, but she was stunned to see Paisley coming out of the car after Danya.
At first glance, she didn't associate the ungroomed woman that she saw with Paisley, who was high and mighty that she knew. She only felt that Joseph's guest looked somewhat familiar.
Only at her second glance did Paige finally realized that she had been looking at Paisley.
It was completely out of Paige's expectation. She exclaimed, "Is that... Ms. Anthony?"
Paisley didn't expect to see Paige here, and she was so ashamed to have Paige saw her in such a state. She hoped that she could escape now.
However, Paisley had been through a lot of mishaps. So, she quickly calmed down and started to explain, "Danya and I were robbed, Miss Anderson. Luckily for us, Mr. Dawson passed by and saved us."
Joseph added, "I came across them on my way home from the office. Ms. Anthony and her chaperone were robbed. They lost their passports and their other belongings to the robbers. But they're unscathed, for the most of it."
"Robbers? Oh my gosh, that's scary! Ms. Anthony, are you all right?" Paige was baffled.
"I'm fine, although Danya is slightly injured," Paisley replied.
"Thank goodness! You must be so scared. Come in, quickly!" Although she was upset with Paisley's provocation previously, Paige still sympathized with Paisley's misfortune in a foreign country. So, she promptly invited Paisley and Danya into the house. novelbin
Paisley and Danya gladly complied and they went into the villa where the Dawsons' maids hurried to clean up a room for them.
When they were alone in the room, Paisley's face darkened. She hissed, "I can't believe Paige had the audacity to follow Joseph here! Argh, I'm so pissed!"
Danya was also annoyed, "What's Sir Hayden's problem? Didn't he arrange for you to come here to get closer with Sir Joseph? What does he think you can do with Paige here?"
"Hayden probably didn't know that Joseph would bring Paige with him."
"Well, what about Lucas? Is he dumb? He could have called to tell us!" Danya huffed.
"I don't know. But I think Mr. Dawson is gonna give me an explanation," Paisley rubbed her temples in exasperation. In fact, Hayden was the one who had planned the so-called mugging, hoping that Joseph would bond with Paisley during her stay at the villa.
However, no one would have thought that Paige would be here.
And it upset Paisley to think that she even lost one of her shoes when she was running to make her escape plausible. However, she did manage to make a skin-to-skin contact when she threw herself into Joseph's arms for comfort.
She remembered how good Joseph smelled, and it almost made her lose her mind when she was wrapped in Joseph's arms.
She was even thinking about ways she could get intimate with Joseph on their way back to the villa. Since Joseph sought pleasure in women and she was so beautiful, Paisley was confident that she would be able to get along well with Joseph once she made the first move.
However, Paisley realized that her fantasies wouldn't come true after seeing Paige. With Paige stuck between Joseph and her, Paisley wouldn't stand a chance to get close to Joseph.
She sighed in reluctance. She didn't want to leave Sydney empty-handed like the last time they were on the cruise ship.
Paisley was determined to turn the table. She wouldn't just give up so easily.
Yet, regardless of what was going to happen next, Paisley could only take a shower for the time being. Then, she would figure out how to deal with the coming affairs.
