Chapter 267


Danya was tongue-tied. Paige's questions seemed genuine, but Danya was still mad because there was nothing for her to say.


She could have said the man was Joseph to provoke Paige upfront if Paisley really slept with him. However, it was only a story that Danya made up to irk Paige.


Danya, of course, wouldn't dare to put Joseph's name on it. But it didn't mean that her plan failed. Since they were the only ones in the villa, Danya dropped her act and sneered.


"Why won't you guess who's the man?"


"I can't. That's why I'm asking you," Paige chided.


"Well, not everyone is worthy of Ms. Anthony. She's sophisticated and talented. So naturally, the man is someone tall, handsome, and has a high status. Also, she doesn't like foreigners. So, the person is from our country."


Danya thought Paige would jump when she heard the answer. But Paige was undisturbed.


Paige nodded indifferently, "I see... Anyway, I've been wondering why Paisley came here. Is she here to travel, or is she chasing a man here? If she came here for a man, I wonder what he looks like to make her willingly fly abroad for him."


Paige's blunt answer left Danya gaped in disbelief.


"Just think about it, Miss Anderson! You're so smart. I think you can find out who Ms. Anthony came for


on your own. Who is she with now?"


Paige pretended to think about it while frowning, "She is with... Joseph now right?"


"Tall, handsome, someone with high status, and he's from our country, you say? Wait, you're saying that Paisley came for Joseph? Well, indeed, many women fell for his good looks. Is it the same for Ms. Anthony too? Is she trying to take Joseph away from me? Oh my, isn't she a little too shameless?"


"Watch your tongue! Her appearance is god-given. Do you think she needs to try to make Joseph hers?"


"God-given?" Paige snorted. "I don't think so. So, tell your Miss that if she ever dares to make moves on Joseph, I'll make her pay for it! I'm not someone to be trifled with. If Paisley steals Joseph away, I swear I'll expose her. As a daughter of the Anthonys, I'm sure she'll be on the trending list in no time!" Paige gave Danya a contemptuous look.


Paige's threats silenced Danya.


Paige was unpredictable.


If she really did as she said, Paisley's reputation would inevitably be tarnished. novelbin


Naturally, Danya didn't want that to happen.


So, she immediately denied it.


"Have you heard yourself? Ms. Anthony would never do that! Men after men begged for her attention. She wouldn't stoop down to seduce Joseph."


Paige shrugged, "If you said so, then I'll take your word for it. But I'll have you know that I trust Joseph more than I trust your groundless promise. Joseph wouldn't possibly lay an eye on Paisley. After all, she knows nothing other than acting like she's innocent and better than others."


Danya was rendered speechless. She realized that there was no hope in having a peaceful and logical conversation with Paige. The more they spoke, the more upset Danya felt. Yet, Paige seemed so composed.


Danya fumed, "Just you wait and see! When the time comes, you'll know that Ms. Anthony is the best."


Danya stormed angrily back to her room.


Paige sneered as she watched Danya's back. Danya was being too cocky. It seemed like she still had something up her sleeves.


At around six in the evening, Joseph called, "Paige, I might not be able to come back tonight."


"Why?"


"Paisley fainted and we're now in the hospital. So, I don't think we can leave here now."


Upon hearing Joseph's words, the first thing that came into Paige's mind was how strange it was for Paisley to pass out right when they were about to head back.


Why was she acting sick?


Was it to allow Joseph to pamper her a little longer?


Paige pouted, "But it's none of your business. Leave Lucas there with her. She'll be fine."


"Babe, Paisley came here with me. I can't just leave her like this."


Paige heaved a long sigh, "Fine, forget what I said. But don't you dare to stay in the same room with her alone, am I clear?"


"Babe, are you jealous? I've explained to you countless times before, I love you, and only you. Why won't you believe me?" Joseph laughed.


"What's so funny? I'm not joking! Can't you feel that Paisley has feelings for you? I'm telling you, you can stay, but you can't stay with her alone. Paisley has ulterior motives when it comes to you."


Joseph didn't believe what Paige was saying. He softened his voice to coax her, "You're overthinking this. Ms. Anthony comes from a respectable family. She's well-mannered. Besides, she knows that we're dating. There's no way she'd still fall for me."


"Forget it, I'll make you believe me."


"Alright, alright. I won't stay with Ms. Anthony alone," Joseph promised.


Shortly later, they ended the call. Even though Joseph was trying to convince her otherwise, Paige still


felt that Paisley was plotting something.


It disgusted Paige to think that Paige would try to make advances at Joseph in the hospital.


Shaking her head to clear her mind, Paige decided to video call Joseph every half an hour. No matter what Paisley had in her mind, she wouldn't let her have the chance to execute her plan if Joseph was interrupted so frequently.


However, before that, Paige had to eat something first. She tapped on her phone to order food takeouts.


A little more than half an hour later, the food arrived at the doorstep of the villa. Paige got up and headed downstairs to take her dinner from the rider.


Right after Paige opened her door, Danya opened hers, too. Paige smiled rather profoundly at the sight of Danya, and she strode past Danya towards the ground floor.


Paige's smile didn't sit right with Danya, but she didn't have the energy to think about it.


Since she didn't have lunch, nor did she find any food in the afternoon, she was famished.


However, it was already well past dinner time. Danya wondered why no one had come upstairs to call her to the meal, nor did they call Paige.


Therefore, once she heard sounds coming from Paige's room, Danya immediately followed suit to see what was going on.


Paige went straight to the front door after she went downstairs. Meanwhile, Danya went to the kitchen. The household employees who worked in the kitchen weren't there, let alone any traces of dinner.


Danya opened the refrigerator and found that it was the same as it was in the afternoon.


She was honestly dumbfounded.


Where did the servants go, and why wasn't there any food?


As she was still trying to figure the situation, Paige returned with a plastic bag in her hand and a fried chicken in another. She was eating while she walked.


Paige was honestly barbaric, even though she was one of the Andersons, the noble family.


Watching Paige indulged in her chicken, Danya cursed her in her heart.


However, the fried chicken that Paige had bought was so aromatic. It was hard for Danya to resist the temptation for some fried chicken.


Danya gulped, thinking that Paige would eventually invite Danya to share the drumsticks.


As long as Paige invited her to eat, she would be courteous and indulge in the drumsticks.
