Chapter 68
James left the conference room and returned to his office, where he saw Paige looking worried.
She stood up as soon as she saw James came in. James smiled kindly at her, "Have your seat, please, Miss Anderson. What do you want to see me about?"
"She says your driver is in trouble and wants your help." Aiden continued slowly, "By the way, where is your driver? Is he really in trouble?"
"Nope. My driver is fine." James sat down with a smile.
"Is he really fine?" James's words took a load off Paige's mind, however, she frowned instantly, "I can't get through his phone. Why doesn't he answer it if nothing's wrong?"
"Signal problems or battery hitting empty. Don't worry, he's totally fine."
In spite of such assurances, Paige was still not reassured, "Mr. Field, actually, here's the thing..."
Then she told them what she had learned from Ethan, and about the cops calling her the same.
James dismissed the event and laughed nonchalantly, "Don't freak out. It wouldn't be a big deal even he did it for sure. Just go back home and everything will be okay."
"Really? Then should I go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation?"
"No, just go home. I'll handle this!" James's words made Paige feel reassured. What mattered most was that Bob was fine.
She was sorry for making the trouble for James, so she said, "Mr. Field, I'm sorry to interfere with your work. Then my better half is counting on you. I…. Let me buy you a drink someday."
James couldn't accept her invitation. After all, this woman valued more than everything to his boss. He would be risking his neck if he went out with Paige.
Paige finally left with no worry. On the heels of her leaving, Aiden threw his head back in a hearty laugh, "It is killing me. Bob is really good. And what she just said? That my better half'? I can't stop laughing!"
James was amused, too. Two giggly out slowly got back to god then Aiden said, "Bob made someone do it to Sophia?"
"Yes, the boss meant to help Miss Anderson teach Sophia a lesson. Last night, Sophia wanted to get information about boss from the receptionist, then he immediately made this plan."
"Man, come off it! Just give her a good beating or spoil her face to take the revenge. Don't shilly-shally. He became indecisive nowadays!"
"Same here. But the boss said that he was playing a long game."
In the hospital, Sophia was leaning against the bed weakly. She didn't recover until she got a few bottles of saline at noon.
As soon as she saw Julie staying by her bedside when she woke up, she burst into tears and told hernovelbin
the story of last night.
Then Julie knew Sophia ended up like this because she followed Paige's man, which made Julie gnash her teeth and was extremely angry.
"It must be Paige and that f*cking b*stard who dug a pit for you! No, We can't drop this. We have to call your dad and the police and get them!"
"Mom, it won't help to call the police. I followed him last night, but I didn't get any prove that he did it." The hatred and anger didn't make Sophia lose her mind.
"Then we set him up with it!" Julie was showing her true colors.
"That man is definitely not an ordinary man to drive a car worth millions of dollars. He won't wait for things to happen after our actions." Sophia reminded him.
"That's why we have to find a way? We have to get your father's aid." Julie knew that she wouldn't do it herself and got to count on Liam.
"Will Dad help me?" Sophia did not think that Liam would help her. Liam was snobby, he wouldn't care about things that were no good to him.
"Don't worry, I'Il get him to help us. Do you have any idea about the reason that your father wanted Paige back? He wanted to use Paige's marriage to shield his company."
Julie sneered, "Now that Paige won't come back and he can't do anything. This is the best time to have your father use his relationships to get rid of that man, and force Paige to go home. Then we can do
what we want to her!"
Sophia finally got what Julie said. The two talked for a while and then called Liam.
Liam went ballistic as soon as he saw Sophia's miserable look, and he was pretty sure this were Paige and that man.
Liam was in need of excuses to deal with the man and this was a good one of which he was absolutely going to make good use for sure.
Liam immediately met the deputy sheriff who was with great networks and relationships and handed out bribes to him.
They made someone to take dictations, and Sophia told them everything about last night.
She accused the man who smashed her car last night was Paige's boyfriend, and did such a horrible thing to her as well. She required the police to get him.
None of the staff could afford to neglect the orders of the deputy sheriff, so they immediately assigned some people to Lake View Nest to look for the man.
There was no one in Lake View Nest, and the police who went there didn't get the number of Joseph, let alone to know who he was. So they called Paige to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
Then they went to agency to search for Joseph's number.
And they immediately called Joseph, whose phone had been turned off all the time. The police concluded that the man must be responsible for this and was probably on the way out already.
So they planned on getting a wanted order for Joseph. Before it came out, the top leadership called.
The deputy sheriff told the truth after the questions about Sophia's case from the leader, and the top leader began his excoriation.
"Are you crazy? How could you arrange forces to arrest someone with no prove? Who do you think you are? I warned you, there are always someone more powerful than you. I won't clean up after you if you fall foul of some big shot!"
Totally confused, the deputy sheriff sort of started to blame Liam, "It was Mr. Anderson. You know about Mr. Anderson. Among the entrepreneurs, he is a pretty good one, every year there is a large amount of."
"Shut up! Who the hell he is? You lost your head because of his nonsense?" The leader cut in again, "Here in B City, he is nobody but a sh*t! I warned you, deal with it, right now!"
Then the sheriff understood how extreme the thing was. Having got the leader's call made him realize that he had provoked someone powerful.
A big wheel definitely, someone they could not afford to offend.
There was indeed no evidence for this matter at the beginning. All they had was Sophia's nonsensical words and the pressure from Liam, so that they wanted to make the inquiry.
Now that the power behind had called out the top leader, they were totally out of this matter.
So he had to know about the leader's idea on how to deal with it. Cautiously, he said,"What to do now?"
"Apologize! Use your politeness. Make someone to apologize right now, you got it? If they forgive you, then it is over. If they don't, your office will belong to someone else!"
The words made the sheriff's heart stand still, "Will you tell me more about their identities?"
"Someone from Wolf Group!"
