Chapter 345
Compared to her clueless behavior in response to troubles back then, Paige was much calmer now. She asked, "What's wrong? Get straight to the point."
"Someone brought a debt contract to the company to collect money. He said that if we don't return the money now, he would take over the company as repayment. Kyrie and Mr. Anderson are not in the company now, and they aren't picking up their phones either. Come back quickly and have a look." Hearing this, Paige laughed and said, "Well, let that person wait for a bit. I have a lot of things to do, and I'll talk to them about it in detail later!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone without care. Lamont sat opposite her and slowly sipped on a cup of coffee. He saw Paige smile when she hung up the phone and asked her, "What happened?"
"My father and Hayden can't wait any longer. They're starting to move forward with their plan. There's no rush though. Let them have fun first. I will make my move only when they stir up more trouble."
Her words made him laugh. "Yes, you are right. The more they make trouble, the happier they will be, and the better it will feel to see their reactions in the end."
"Actually, Uncle Saunders, I came here to look for you so that we could talk about Declan. Joseph asked James to deal with Declan's protector, so he's pretty much dead meat."
Lamont nodded in agreement and was not surprised at Declan's fate. Instead, he asked Paige, "Did Joseph interfere in the matter last night?"
"Yes, he managed to arrange for his people to become Declan and Charles's bodyguards. Otherwise, things would not have gone so smoothly. He also arranged the incident that happened to the Declan
today."
A thought came to his mind. "Does Joseph have a good relationship with James?"
"Yes, he does! Not only with James, but also with Aiden and Michael."
"Is that so? He's an interesting guy. He is ignorant and incompetent, but his friends are all capable. It's said that birds of a feather flock together to form a group. That doesn't seem true in this case, does it?"
Lamont was hinting something at her. She laughed and replied, "There are exceptions, I guess. Although Joseph is ignorant and incompetent, he is very righteous. Besides, he is quite capable as well."
Seeing her praising him, Lamont became interested. "What do you mean by 'capable'?"
"He's smart! He got into a top school overseas at the age of 15. If Charles hadn't set him up, he would be better off than Aiden now. Fortunately, he is the way he is now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met him."
Lamont could only laugh in his heart after hearing her explanation. "Miss, have you thought about this problem? If Hayden continues to be against you and Joseph, what are you going to do about him in the future?"
"It's useless for him to oppose our relationship. I must be together with Joseph."
"What if Joseph regrets in the future? I believe in the feelings he has for you right now, but you should look at things from all perspectives. If Hayden continues to object to it, then Joseph would have no
choice but to give up on this relationship. What would you do then?"
Paige was stunned for a moment. She had never thought that there would be no future between her and Joseph.
She firmly believed that Joseph's love for her came from the bottom of his heart.
However, Lamont was right. If something like that really happened one day, what would she do?
She couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
Seeing her frowning and unhappy face, Lamont changed the subject immediately.
"I'm just making a hypothesis so that you can prepare yourself for any situation. This way, you won't be in a daze when something actually happens."
"Oh," Paige said, but she was thinking about how Lamont had approached her with this topic several times already.
Why was he so worried about their relationship?
Compared to Lamont, whom she just met not long ago, she definitely trusted Joseph more.
Thinking about this, she tried to calm down a little bit.
"Uncle Saunders, there's something I want to ask you. All of you say that Declan has a strong protector. As far as I know, he only has one elder brother, Devon, who is working as a leader in
Ruthorham. How can he be so feared just like that?"
"Well..." Lamont hesitated for a moment. He had not planned to talk to her about this yet, but he would have to tell her about it someday, so it would be better to reveal some of it to her now.
"Declan is rampant not only because of his brother, Devon, but also because he has the support of the Saunders family. Devon's wife is the eldest daughter of the Saunders family in Ruthorham."
"What? The eldest daughter of the Saunders family in Ruthorham married Devon? Declan is so ugly, so Devon should also be."
Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, Lamont interrupted. "They are different. Devon is handsome and talented, and he is different from his brother. In fact, Declan wasn't this ugly in the beginning. He became like this because he wanted to save his brother."
"So if the Saunders family in Ruthorham were to interfere, it would cause huge trouble, wouldn't it?" Paige asked. She knew how famous the Saunders family in Ruthorham was. They were a big family, and their relationships were complicated. It was no wonder that ordinary people did not dare to mess with Declan. It was not because they were afraid of him, but they were afraid of the Saunders family who protected him.
"Yes, it will be a little troublesome if the Saunders family intervenes in this matter, but it is not a decisive impact. Don't worry, now that Declan has fallen deep into trouble, the Saunders family would have to consider the consequences, even if they want to help," Lamont comforted.
"I understand! Since they won't interfere, then there's no need to worry about this matter anymore. Next, I'll have to deal with Hayden and my father. Uncle Saunders, do you want to go and take a look at
the situation with me?"
"Of course!" He stood up and said, "I'II accompany you and bring a few people to back you up too."
"Really? You can find people?" She looked at him in surprise. She had always thought that he was just a bodyguard, but he implied that he had helpers, which surprised her. "What kind of people do you know? We are dealing with a big issue today, so I have high standards for the people who can come along. Do you know any strong and tough people?"
"Of course I do. I can find about fifty of them. Do you think that's enough? If it's not enough, I'll find more people," He answered modestly.
"Fifty people, who can fight? So many? Uncle Saunders, I am dealing with serious business, and this is not a joke."
"Why would I joke around with you, Miss Anderson? Ever since you told me about Liam's collaboration with Hayden, I knew that things would turn out this way, so I made preparations ahead of time. You can rest assured!"
"That's great!" She laughed happily. "To be honest, I was thinking of borrowing a few people from Joseph today and also a few people from Aiden and Hardy to back me up. However, since you've found people, I won't borrow from them then!"
Paige had never been this excited before.
Today, she was going to use her own actions to fight back against Liam and Hayden. If they dared to
plot against her, they would not succeed. "Uncle Saunders, tell this to the people you're getting today. Everyone who joins me today will receive a reward!"
