Chapter 33
At this moment, the noisy hall suddenly quieted down. The CEO of the Wolf Group, James, stood on the circular stage of the hall with a microphone in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. Our President has something to tell you."
Hearing that the president of Wolf Group had something to say, everyone quieted down and looked at the stage.
Elizabeth also suppressed her anger and looked at James on the stage. James continued to say.
"As we all know, we've held the B City Feast perfectly for three years. This is the fourth one. In order to thank for your coming and full support, our president specially recorded a VCR segment to express his gratitude to all of you who attended the party."

As James spoke, a video appeared on the large LCD screen behind him.
A helicopter roared into view amidst a vast expanse of ice and snow, and those who love skiing would know at first glance that it was the CMH heli-skiing in the Canadian Columbia Mountains.
The helicopter stopped after hovering in the air, and a man in a ski suit came down from the helicopter.
He was so wrapped up in clothes and equipment that he could not be seen clearly.
The man was tall and strong, and it could be seen that he was not an old man, nor was he suffering from a hidden disease.
He made a gesture to the camera, and a low voice sounded in the hall.
"Welcome to the B City Feast! I wish you a good time!"
He said in German. His low voice was extraordinary with a low magnetic force.
Everyone looked at his dashing figure swooping down the piste in the screen. He was as vigorous as a running tiger and snowflakes was flying in the screen. The hall was quiet.
Aiden put down the glass of red wine that he had been holding and clapped his hands gently. The quiet people also reacted, the thunderous applause sounded in the hall.
Elizabeth and Charles looked at the screen and couldn't look away. It was beyond their imagination that the president of Wolf Group was such a young man.
A mocking laughter came from the side.
"Didn't someone just say that the president of Wolf Group was an old man with a hidden illness? Did she be proven wrong? Ha ha ha!"
Elizabeth's face turned red, and she couldn't help but refute, "This may be a cover. Maybe this person is not the real president of Wolf Group at all, but a substitute?"
The lady, who was arguing with Elizabeth, sneered, "There are just some people who don't want to believe the facts, calling the beauty ugly and devaluing others into the dust. What a poor taste and how shameless! It doesn't matter. Just be happy yourself."
Being scolded by someone made Elizabeth very angry. Charles glared at her. She suppressed her anger and looked at Paige with hatred, who stood there like a triton out of the minnows.
It was all because of this little b*tch, who had disgraced her nephew and brought sarcasm down on her. When had she ever been so humiliated? It really pissed her off.
"Paige, just wait and see. You'll be the one to suffer in the future."
The feast didn't end until the wee hours of the morning. The organizers prepared rooms for the guests. Paige didn't go back but stayed.
She sent a message to Young Master Joseph, "I'm staying in Wolf Group tonight. I'm not going back."
Joseph replied in a second, "I see. How's it going?"
"Very successful. Thank you for your help, and thank Aiden. If it weren't for him to help me out, I would have had a big trouble tonight."
"Really?" Joseph gave a wee smile and the phone rang. He picked it up and Aiden's voice came.
"I have done everything you asked me to do, now you owe me a big favour."
"It's just a small matter which only needs a few words. A great favour? Don't be so shameless." Joseph retorted mercilessly.
"Is it a small matter? Because of you, I offended your elder brother and his wife, Liam, and Ethan. I've
offended so many people, you can't brush me off in a few words. Joseph, aren't you too heartless?" Aiden protested.
"Come on, don't pretend to be miserable. I know that you've been working hard. Thank you for your help. I’ll treat you to a meal later. Is that okay?"
"Just treat? Why are you so stingy?" Aiden almost jumped up.
"Take it or leave it!"
"Hey, Joseph, you are too bad. I'm so speechless. Are we still friends?" Aiden cried out exaggeratedly.
Joseph burst into laughter, "Useless!"
"Well, I won't pretend to be pitiful. Joseph, what do you mean? Why did you suddenly make such a VCR video? Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"
"Do you recognize me?" Joseph asked.
"I didn't need to identify you. I could smell your coquettish flavour through the screen easily." Aiden's words was extremely poisonous, "By the way, did you do it for the sake of the little girl of the Anderson family?"
"Not exactly."
"Come on. Don't deny it. I know you did it for her. Aren't you afraid of the headline tomorrow? I have to remind you that if someone makes a larger analysis of your picture, you may be exposed."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Joseph replied with certainty:
"There is another thing I want to remind you. Liam had lost a lot of face tonight. He will definitely vent his anger on your Miss Anderson. I have a hunch that the two mistresses will try their best to persuade Liam to let them stay in the Anderson family. If so, wasn't all your Miss Anderson had done for nothing?"
"Well, that's what I thought. Liam will definitely ask the mistresses to stay tonight, but he will change his mind tomorrow."
Joseph answered with great certainty.
In the Anderson family, Liam sat on the sofa smoking with a gloomy face. Isabella and Sophia sat opposite him, crying.
Since they came back, they had tried their best to attribute all the scandal tonight to Paige.
They kept saying that Paige didn't care about the overall situation and was vicious. Just because of her unhappiness, she disregarded her father and ruined Liam's reputation.
Thinking of Paige's aggressiveness in the banquet and not yielding an inch, anger spread all over Liam's heart.
Isabella knew Liam well, so she continued to add fuel to the fire.
"It doesn't matter if Sophia and I move out. Anyway, we are used to living outside. We are just worried
about you. Paige went against you with outsiders, ignoring your father-daughter relationship and the love and care you had given her. After tonight, she will definitely be further intensified and make it worse. If so, what prestige do you have in front of her in the future? Then she can do anything she wants towards you."
These words were really near Liam's thoughts. Thinking of the strange eyes looking at him in the banquet, Liam gnashed his teeth and spat out two words from his mouth, "How dare she!"
"Why wouldn't she dare? Look at how rampant she was tonight. She framed us for kidnapping her and ruined your reputation. I feel extremely sad when I think of how you were humiliated by so many people at that time. If I could, I would rather not appear for the rest of my life. It's all my fault. Liam, take care of yourself. We'll pack up our things and move out." Isabella said as she pretended to pack up with her daughter.
Liam stopped her.
"You don't have to move out. Stay here. I'd like to see what the b*stard would dare to do!"
"I don't think it's a good idea." Listening to Liam's words, Isabella and Sophia were extremely happy, but they pretended to refuse.
"What's wrong with it? That b*stard thought that she could make me surrender by hooking up with Aiden. She was wrong. This is my home. I can give it to whoever I want. Even if Aiden is powerful enough, can he take charge of my home? At the worst, I won't take you to those banquets." Since Liam said so, Isabella and Sophia had to agree to stay.
When they returned to their rooms upstairs, the mother and the daughter smiled to each other.
Sophia let out a sigh of relief, "Mom, the older, the wiser. I admire you so much!"
"Nothing. That little b*ch, Paige, dares to schemed against us. Those who are against me usually have no good ending. She will definitely die miserably like her mother."
"Mom, didn't Natalie die of illness?" Hearing Isabella's words, Sophia could not help interrupting.
"Die of illness? Haha, think about it. Is it possible for a healthy one like Natalie to die of illness? That's because of what I did."
The nanny made supper and took it upstairs.
When she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard the conversation inside which made her raised hand suddenly freeze, and an incredible look appeared on her face.
