The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 41

At this moment, not to mention Paige’s classmates who were unable to survive in this small city, even Paige herself was stunned. Just now, she also heard Polly’s words, so she was aware of how extraordinary the people behind Joseph were. In a daze, she asked Joseph, “Why… Why are you here?” Joseph glanced at Lara before turning back to Paige and answered, “Miss Bennett is my friend. She heard that I’m back, so she called me over for a get-together…” At this time, Lara quickly walked to Paige and said with a smile, “Please be rest assured, miss. We are only friends…” Hearing that, Paige quickly waved to Lara. “No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood me, Miss Bennett. I was just asking. Actually, we are having a class gathering too.” “Oh, haha! If I had known you were coming, I could’ve arranged the best room for you. Your gathering is still ongoing, am I right? Why don’t all of you move to Fabled on the top floor instead? Not only is the environment good, but you can also catch a huge part of Oplen’s night view there. Also, feel free to order whatever you want to eat. We’re close, after all…” Lara suggested with a self-blame expression. “Well…” After Lara finished, Paige’s classmates were perplexed once again. It was Fabled—the best private room in Mirage Hotel! Not to mention commoners, even some rich bosses in Oplen didn’t have a chance to go there. Furthermore, only the top figures in Oplen could have a meal there. Nonetheless, for the sake of Paige, or to be more specific, for the sake of her husband, Lara not only allowed Paige’s classmates to go there, but she also didn’t charge anything… In that case, what was Paige’s husband’s identity? Not a wastrel for sure. Even the dignified president of Mirage Hotel and the top woman entrepreneur-Lara Bennett-was carefully escorting him. So, what was his background then? For a split second, everyone in the room broke out in cold sweat, especially those women who ridiculed Paige… (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)When Lara saw Paige was still in a trance, she deliberately uttered with a straight face, “Are you disrespecting me? Since you’re here, how can I let you eat such low grade food with your own money? If words spread out, people would think badly of me, don’t you think so?” “No. Of course not.” It was Paige’s first time facing such a powerful woman like Lara. Hence, she got more nervous, not knowing what to say. With that, she turned to look at Joseph for help. With a smile, Joseph nodded to her. “Well, since Miss Bennett is sincere, we should not turn her down. Go ahead with your classmates and have a nice meal. I have

honorable guests up?” Lara nodded and looked at Paige. “Well, I’m sure you’ve heard that too. You may go ahead and take your classmates there. Also, I’ve asked them to prepare the best wine and dishes. So, you don’t have to worry about that.” After Lara finished, Joseph also nodded smilingly to Paige like a handsome gentleman. Moreover, there was endless love in his eyes. Hence, Paige finally nodded in agreement. As for her classmates, they were breathing rapidly with surprise. To have a meal in Fabled, one must at least had tens of thousands of dollars. If they ordered some good wine, the bill would increase to more than 100,000 dollars. In addition, even if they had the money, they may not be

to mention Joseph, even those bosses behind him were not the kind of people a nightclub dancer like her could afford to provoke. Hence, without waiting for Joseph to speak, she gritted her teeth and slapped herself a few times. Then, she pointed at Leila and revealed, “I’m sorry, sir. I am in the wrong, but Leila instructed me to say all those sarcastic remarks. Ever since we were in college, she has looked down on your wife. Besides, she is the one who organized this gathering to humiliate your wife. Not only that, but she also incited them…” Once Polly finished her words, the other two female classmates also came forward in trepidation.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “We’re sorry, sir. She is right. Leila is the one behind all this. Otherwise, why would we mock Paige? She’s such a nice woman…” “Polly! Karen! Mya! Don’t push the blame on me! I didn’t…” Leila’s face changed dramatically. In fact, her superior, Brian, was still here. “Hmph! Liar! Look at our chat history! You asked me to delete it, but thankfully I forgot…” Polly took out her phone and showed Joseph the chat history. Instantaneously, his gaze became colder. The next moment, he slapped Leila. With a scream, Leila flew backward and fell to the ground. Half of her face swelled up, and she spat out a mouthful of blood with two broken teeth. Glowering at her with cold eyes, Joseph raged, “I don’t hit women, but people like you don’t even deserve to be a human. Get out! And remember, I’m Joseph Dawson. If you want revenge, come to me at any time. I’ll be waiting for you!” Despite being slapped, Leila didn’t dare to retort. She had no idea who he was, but she knew that she couldn’t afford to offend him. After that, she staggered to Paige. “Paige, I’m sorry. Very, very sorry…” after apologizing, she hurried toward the exit. Nevertheless, things didn’t end here. “Wait! Aren’t you Leila White, who works in my hotel? Answer me!” Brian finally spoke. However, no one knew his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat. Inwardly, he thought that fortunately, he came. Or else, he would be done for. Paige’s classmates might not know Joseph’s identity, but he and Lara knew enough about Joseph to be terrified. Because before he came here, Lara told him that Joseph was the man behind Ernie and Dennis, and also the well-known domineering big shot in Oplen. Moreover, Lara also mentioned that Joseph was the bigshot who spent
