Chapter 50 Lily’s expression changed again and again. She had seen Joseph twice in the outlet, so she knew he had bought two Mercedes-Benz S-Class. However, now that she heard Joseph bought another one, she was baffled. Was Mercedes S a cabbage to him? How could he buy a luxury car worth more than a million dollars easily just like that? Despite that, she refused to believe that he was wealthy because if that was the case, her superiority in front of Paige and her status in the family over the past few years would be invalid. After all, Rory didn’t even buy a Mercedes S for her, let alone three of them, and let alone a house in Paragon Villa! Thinking of this, she stared intensely at Joseph and mocked, “Where did you get the money to buy another car? Oh, by the way, | heard that the military expelled you. Is it because you have done something illegal? | warn you. This is Oplen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDon’t drag our family into the mire!” The more she spoke, the more she felt that her words were reasonable. So, she quickly persuaded Leonard, “Grandpa, you should run a background check on him. How about asking Maxton to investigate him and see if he owns any criminal record? The military expelled him, after all. What if he commits a crin this town? Our family will also be in trouble!” When Paige heard Lily slandering Joseph in such a manner, she was furious. Immediately, she stood up and yelled, “What do you mean, Lily? Don’t slander him! He got expelled because of me.” These days, Joseph had done too much for her. Besides, the military expelled him because of her. However, before she could finish, Joseph cut her off by pulling her back to her seat.
As if he was looking at a fool, Joseph looked at Lily and nodded. “Guess what? You're right. l.robbed that money.
Whatever you say is always true. How about reportingto the police then? You can even do it now.” “How dare you!” Lily stood up furiously because she couldn't stand his disdainful and disgusting gaze. It was as if she were a brainless idiot. Moreover, she was awfully familiar with this kind of gaze because she often stared at others this way. “Enough! Sit down! Where is your dignity as an elder cousin? Huh? Didn't you see that | am still here? If you don’t want to eat, get out!” At that moment, Leonard could feel monstrous confidence and even arrogance from Joseph. Shocked, he thought that indeed, something was fishy about Joseph. “Grandpa...” Being berate by Leonard, Lily felt extremely wronged. “Sit down! | have something to ask Joseph! Don’t interrupt!” Leonard coldly snorted at Lily before she sat down. Hearing that, Joseph turned to Leonard with a smile and asked, “What do you want to ask me, Grandpa?” With a nod, Leonard responded, “There's something | can’t figure out. A few days after Paige cback, she not only collected Reuben’s debt but also secured dozens of collaboration projects for our company. But she was not in Oplen for many years. Who would help her? Are you the one who secretly helped her?” After asking, he kept staring at Joseph's face. At Leonard's question, Paige recollected herself and stared at Joseph. On the other hand, Lily was sulking while Rory was drinking tea.
“Haha... Do you think it’sthen?” Joseph chuckled. To that, Leonard shook his head and answered, “I don’t know, so | want to ask you. After all, it's weird. It seemed like those partners took the initiative to cand find Paige...” When Joseph chuckled and was about to speak, Rory-who was holding a cup of tea -uttered nonchalantly, “Haha... Why are you making a big fuss about ssmall business partners, Grandpa? If you want to accept more cooperation from small companies and enterprises, I'll talk to my father and introduce our family’s business partners to you...” Rory said so because he naturally had a certain amount of confidence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBasically, his family was more than ten times stronger than the Mooneys. As for those small cooperation partners that signed with Paige a few days ago, he could also pull them over to Aceshine Group with the help of his father.
Moreover, he was the one who helped Lily to get the collaboration agreement of the largest company in Oplen this morning Therefore, he continued to scoff, “Even if there are many small partners, do you think they are better than the one Lily secured? They are just a bunch of garbage. My point is, if Aceshine Group wants to be bigger and stronger, you should cooperate with more big companies, am | right?” Rory glanced at Leonard. Then, he stared at Joseph insultingly and sneered, “Speople assthat they are great by just setting up sgarbage partners for the Mooneys. As expected, garbage can only partner up with garbage...” After Rory finished, Lily also let out a heavy sigh. Without saying anything, she sat up confidently. At that moment, she couldn't be bothered to talk to Joseph. No matter how powerful he was, could he compare to the Sheltons? In front of them, he was nothing but garbage. With his brows puckered, Leonard remained silent. For a while, he had looked at Joseph but couldn’t see through anything. So, he sighed inwardly. Indeed, he overthought. Even if Joseph had smoney and connections, he was still an outsider. How could he compete with the Sheltons who had operated in Oplen for many years? If the Mooney family was a third-rate family, then the Shelton family was an authentic second-rate family. In addition, Rory was the heir of the Shelton family, so he was definitely much better than Joseph. Having that thought, Leonard made up his mind to give Lily more support in the future... Listening to Rory’s words, Paige also lowered her head. Deep down, she thought that her failure to win Gempoint Group's contract caused Lily, Rory, and Grandpa to look down on Joseph. Biting her lip, she whispered to Joseph, “Joseph, I'm sorry. It’s all my fault...” Joseph smiled and patted her hand, comforting, “It’s okay, you have done your best. | believe you will definitely do better next time...” Suddenly, Lily scoffed, “Pfft, seriously? Wake up, Joseph. I've secured the largest cooperation in Oplen. Grandpa also promises that whoever wins will be the vice president of our company. So now, tell me, will she still be able to defeatin the future? Haha...” At that moment, she was smirking complacently as she felt that she finally took revenge on Joseph. Upon listening to Lily’s words, Paige lowered her head even more and tightened her fists while losing the courage to speak.
“Haha... It's just a contract. | heard that Gempoint Group is busy these days. Maybe it's Paige whom they want to cooperate with, but they mistook you as Paige. Also, even if they have signed the contract, the project hasn't begun. Who knows? Perhaps they will revise the contract. Who knows.” Joseph lowered his head and foreshadowed nonchalantly. “Hmm?” Once Joseph finished, Leonard and Paige glanced at him. On the other hand, Lily was furious and wanted to swear at Joseph. Nevertheless, before she could, someone pushed the private room door open. Following that, Gempoint Group's vice president—who signed with Lily this morning- rushed in with two huge dark eye circles. After that, he stormed to Lily and raged, “You are not Paige Mooney! Who the hell are you? | have made an appointment with her to sign the contract, not you! How dare you impersonate her to fool me? Do you have a death wish? Where is she?!” “Boom.” With the vice president's words, the whole room instantly fell silent. In shock, everyone gaped at Joseph, who was sitting there drinking his tea. While lowering his head, Joseph was holding his teacup with a faint smile. However, there was an indescribable gleam flashing in his eyes...
