The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 34

In the restaurant in Oplen, those bosses, who came to find Paige, and Tommy, who felt ashamed, had all left. At that moment, Yahir was sitting in front of the table in a daze. Paige and Serena were also at a loss, and they felt surreal. Last night, Leonard had just given Paige three conditions that were almost impossible to accomplish. But now, only one day had passed, and yet, Paige had completed two of them. In fact, she completed the second condition ten times better than she was required to… D In disbelief, she walked out of the door and watched the bosses driving away in luxury cars. She wanted to see if it was a dream, so she pinched her arm hard. However, the pain in her arm told her that it was real. “Whether it’s Reuben Porter, those bosses just now, or the other dozens of bosses who went to the company, everything is way too strange… Too unbelievable… I somehow feel that someone is helping you…” Serena approached from Paige’s back and said with a frown. Responding with a nod, Paige agreed, “Well, I find this unbelievable too, but who would help me? After all, I was a joke here five years ago. People are dying to laugh at me again, so who?” After she finished, she and Serena fell silent because, at this moment, Joseph’s figure simultaneously emerged in their minds. Nevertheless, they quickly denied their thoughts. Joseph was a poor soldier who was fired by the military. Moreover, he had just returned to Oplen. How would he have such a big influence? So, who on earth was it? Paige and Serena were both confused. Just when the two of them were deep in thought, Yahir came out. Looking at Paige with complicated feelings, he uttered, “Paige, you’ve worked hard these years. Your grandpa called me and said that you could return to the company at any time, and you’re now a channel director. Let’s go home and have a meal. Your mother is in high spirits now…”

her face, which was completely different from yesterday’s black face. Holding Paige’s hand affectionately, Estella

conditions in a day…” Once Paige finished, Estella was puzzled. After asking Paige a few more questions, Estella took out her phone, went to the balcony, and made a phone call. The next moment, she was chatting and laughing while expressing her gratitude. Seeing that, Paige, Yahir, and Serena got even more confused. A few minutes later, Estella returned to Paige’s side and chuckled, “Nothing, it’s Brooks. Before he returned here yesterday, I called him and told him about you. On his way back, he began to ask for help and contacted several bosses. By the way, I’ve arranged your meeting with him tomorrow at noon. You must go and thank him well…” Subconsciously, Paige asked, “Mom, are you saying that Brooks helped me?” After that, she and Serena both frowned deeply. However, Estella nodded with great certainty. “Of course. Didn’t I tell you that he is an executive of Gempoint Group? To him, helping you to find a few business partners is just a piece of cake. Alright, stop thinking about it. Let’s eat…” Although Estella was so sure, Paige and Serena somewhat didn’t buy her words. Even if Brooks was a senior executive, there were more than 80 senior executives in Gempoint Group. Could a senior executive be so powerful that he could scare hundreds of bosses overnight? Seeing that Paige still didn’t believe her, Estella said with a straight face, “Quit thinking about it. You should dress up well tomorrow. Today, he applied for a spot at a grand wedding. It was the wedding that shocked the whole city yesterday. A mysterious rich man is going to hold a wedding with his wife next month in Olpen. I also heard that he spends more than a billion to sponsor 1314 pairs of couples to get married. I’m old, but I can imagine how sensational his wedding would be, and Brooks secured a spot! A very precious spot!” The more Estella said, the more excited she was. Apparently,

before she sighed with a complicated feeling. Sure enough, Joseph glanced at her and asked, “What’s wrong?” With that, Serena’s heartbeat kept increasing, and she dared not look at Joseph at all. Instead, she kept staring at Paige’s figure with her eyes turning red and blurted, “We went home for lunch at noon, and my mother… My mother thought that Brooks Nicholas, an executive in Gempoint Group, was the one who helped Paige and forced her to meet him tomorrow. Not only that, but she also wanted Paige to marry him. Compared with Brooks, I prefer Paige to be with you. I know I haven’t known you for long, but I can tell that Paige likes you. Anyway… She said she would never agree. Don’t tell her I told you this…” After that, Serena went after Paige. Actually, she was deliberately testing Joseph just now. But somehow, as soon as she took a few steps forward, she could feel that the temperature around her suddenly became freezingly cold… When Serena got far, Alpha 1 came to Joseph. Noticing that Joseph looked odd, Alpha 1 asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?” “Nothing…” Joseph replied. Then, Alpha I continued, “By the way, Dennis Drake, the president of Gempoint Group, wants to treat you to dinner in his private club tonight. He knows that Ernie met you last night, so he’s a little anxious, and he wants to leave a good  ON impression on you. Oh… how ignorant. Are
