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

Bennett too…” When he finished, he seemed to recall something and quickly took out the Mercedes-Benz S-class’s car key from his pocket. Then, he put it on Paige’s palm and added, “By the way, you’re starting work tomorrow, so I bought you a new Mercedes-Benz S-class. It’s parked downstairs, and you can drive it home first. My meeting might end late.” Upon hearing that, Paige’s classmates gawked at the car key while Joseph’s words echoed in their ears. Mercedes-Benz S-class. The one-million-dollar car which not all of them could afford despite working for their whole lives. Even so, Joseph had bought it without a second thought and gave it to his wife. With that, they continued to guess his identity while admiring Paige’s life. Since he could have Lara and Brian escorting him, his status must be at least on par with theirs… Staring blankly at the car keys, Paige asked, “You bought this for me?” Joseph nodded. “Yes, this car is yours, for now. If you’re not used to it, we’ll change it. Now that you’re starting to work again, I feel it’s better to drive a Mercedes Benz. It’s more professional-looking…” Hearing that, Paige was at a loss. Just then, the hotel manager went to Lara and said, “Miss Bannett, we’ve completed the arrangements in Fabled. Shall I bring the 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

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
