The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 329

Paige replied, "I'II get my own people to set up the trap. I saw Declan walking around with some bodyguards yesterday, so find someone to protect me while blending in with the crowd too."

Lamont smiled as he knew that Paige had only thought of him as a bodyguard after reading her message. "Alright!"

Joseph turned to glance at Paige a few times when he saw that she had been on her phone, "Who are you texting?"

"I'm asking a huge favour from Lamont to prepare for tomorrow's banquet," Paige replied as she put her phone away.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything according to your plans," Joseph comforted her.

"I know, but I can't stay a coward forever. I should strike back instead of always being on the defensive end, right?"

Paige smiled at Joseph, "I'm going to be an independent person so that I can stop relying on others. Once I can do that, you wouldn't have to worry about saving me when you're not around."

"Alright, do whatever you want. Even if your plans don't go your way, I got your back." Joseph's words gave Paige confidence. She would stop her schemes if they decided to let go of her tomorrow, but she would make sure they suffered the consequences if they still troubled her.

Liam's face was still extremely swollen when Paige visited him after breakfast the next morning.

Paige entered the ward holding a bouquet of flowers that she had bought, "How are you feeling, dad?"

"Other than my painful hand and my blinded eye, I'm doing better." Liam answered.

Liam was in a better mood than yesterday, "How unfortunate, I'm afraid I won't be able to introduce our clients to you after all."

"Don't worry about it, we can meet those clients once you're recovered," Paige comforted him.

"No, these are very important clients. We can't cancel the banquet tonight, it took me a long time to schedule it so that all of them could make it!"

It seemed like Liam wouldn't be giving up on his plans at all, Paige sneered secretly as she tried to maintain an innocent look.

"Oh no, what should we do then?"

"After thinking about it, I've decided to let you and Kyrie attend to our guests."

"Kyrie and I? I'm worried that we won't be able to do well," Paige replied as she tried to look as nervous as she could.

"Don't worry, the other senior executives will be there as well. Please make sure that those guests are welcomed warmly, this banquet is to show our appreciation to them after all."

"What if I mess things up? I've never done anything like this before."

"Don't worry too much about it. I've arranged for Kyrie and the other executives to help you out, all you have to do is to attend the event and make small talk with them."

Seeing how unwilling Paige was, he decided to advise her earnestly, "You have to learn how to deal with this kind of events now that you're learning how to run this company. Once you've finished this task, I'll arrange for you to take over the other matters too, you're the next head of Anderson Group, aren't you?"

"You're right. I should be brave and face my fears," Paige agreed humbly, "Will Sophia be there too?"

"Yes, she will. Paige, I know you don't get along with Sophia, but please bear with it for me, alright? Sophia is only a normal executive, but you'll be the next head of the company!"

Paige had prepared to get Sophia to the banquet by any means, but she was relieved to hear that Sophia had insisted on going to the banquet herself.

"Alright, I'll clear my schedule for you. A heads up though, it's not my fault if Sophia gets into any trouble."

Liam sighed in relief once he realised that Paige was allowing Sophia to attend the banquet. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to warn her!" He answered firmly. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Paige left the ward with a smirk on her face. Before driving back to the company, she stopped and bought a box of itching powder from the nearby drugstore.

Once she had arrived, Kyrie immediately met her in her office to discuss the details of tonight's

banquet.

Other than Declan, Charles, Elizabeth, and Ethan, Paige had no idea who the other guests were on the list.

Paige glanced at the guest list casually before requesting, "I believe in your skills Kyrie. Why don't you decide on the details since you're more experienced than me? Where's the location of the banquet though?"

"It is at Halcyon Hotel," Kyrie answered.

"Why there?" Paige frowned.

"We originally planned to hold the banquet in Wolf Group. However, we did not manage to make reservations there as their halls have been fully booked, so we decided on Halcyon Hotel instead."

Paige smiled coldly at Kyrie's explanation.

She knew that Halcyon Hotel was managed by Declan, so wouldn't this mean that Declan was the one who had invited them there?

They had decided to play it safe by making Halcyon Hotel the location of the banquet.

It seemed like they were determined to trap her with their perfect plan.

Paige nodded in agreement, "Alright, arrange the banquet as you see fit. Just inform me when we'll be leaving for the hotel."

"Alright!" Kyrie answered after getting Paige's approval.

Sophia approached him quietly while he was making his way back to Liam's office. "What did she say?"

"She left all arrangements to me and only requested that I inform her when it was time to leave."

A mocking expression made its way on Sophia's face, "What a fool! I'm looking forward to tonight's event then!"

Paige immediately picked up her phone to text Lamont once Kyrie had left her office, "I guess they're playing it safe after all. They've decided to hold the banquet in Halcyon Hotel, a hotel that's run by the Campbell family."

"Alright, I'll make the necessary arrangements then."

"Did you hire the people I requested and prepared everything as I told you too?"

"Yes, I've prepared everything as you've requested. The other party has agreed to your generous offer without bargaining," Lamont answered, "But why did you ask me to break into Declan's house to look for drugs?"

"He's a drug addict right? I've planned for the drugs to be put on Declan's table so that the police would be able to take action on him! Doesn't that sound like a perfect highlight to tonight's banquet?"

Paige smiled bitterly, "Tonight, I'll make sure that everyone hears about the downfall of Halcyon hotel!

This would also be the perfect opportunity to get rid of Declan, Sophia, Elizabeth and Ethan together for trying to bring me down!"
