The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 42

While profusely slapping his face, Brian apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss Mooney. I’m so sorry for not disciplining my staff well. I hope you don’t take it to heart…” When he saw that Joseph’s face was still grim, he trembled. Obviously, Joseph wasn’t satisfied with the way he dealt with Leila. Thinking about that, his fear intensified. Even Ernie would treat Joseph as an emperor, so a mere hotel owner like him definitely couldn’t afford to offend Joseph. On the other hand, Joseph’s cold face also sent chills to Lara’s spine. Immediately, Lara let go of Paige’s hand, bowed to Paige, and apologized, “Miss Mooney, I’m so sorry for letting you face this situation here! I offer you my honest and genuine regrets…” “Umm..” Paige was stunned. After all, Lara was the chairman of Mirage Hotel and the most powerful woman entrepreneur in Oplen. Besides, Lara had nothing to do with this. “No, it’s okay, Miss Bennett. Please… Please don’t do this. I’m fine…” Paige quickly pulled Lara up before she looked at Brian and said, “Mr. Mccarty… You don’t have to do this too. I’m really fine…” Nevertheless, no matter what she said, Lara and Brian still dared not lift their heads. Sure enough, that was because Joseph hadn’t said anything. At this moment, the temperature within a radius of dozens of meters around the room was rapidly decreasing. Supposedly, there would be some warmness on a summer night, but now, it felt as if everyone was in an ice cave. “Paige, what kind of husband did you married to…” Paige’s classmates thought (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) to themselves after seeing how Lara and Brian acted based on Joseph’s reaction. Not long after, Paige also realized the problem. She wasn’t the reason why Lara and Brian kept their heads down. Joseph was!!! At once, she looked at Joseph and found out that although he seemed calm on the outside, his eyes were filled with fury and coldness. Moreover, he was also emanating a raging aura. Shocked, Paige couldn’t help pulling Joseph’s arm and assured, “Joseph, I… I’m really fine…” Only then, Joseph looked up at her before nodding at Lara and Brian, followed by letting out a cold snort. Right away, Lara and Brian lifted their heads, but cold sweat had covered their faces. Looking at Bronson, Joseph asked, “How is it? Am I qualified enough to be Paige’s husband?” In fear, Bronson swallowed his saliva and quickly nodded, “Yes, yes!”

“Cool…” Joseph nodded and continued, “You are a great man. Thank you…” Hearing this, Bronson quickly waved his hand and chuckled, “No… Don’t be. I’m your wife’s classmate, after all. As classmates, we should be helping each other instead of comparing. I was only speaking out of anger too. Haha! Actually, I’m nothing but a humble mechanic. Instead of expecting to be rich, I just hope that I can stick to my conscience…” Although he knew Joseph wouldn’t do anything to him, he was frightened by Joseph’s scary momentum. Despite not being an elite, he could tell that Joseph was absolutely a big shot. Upon hearing Bronson’s words, Joseph looked deeply at him and nodded. “Great, you are a person with virtue. Also, I believe good things will come to nice and hardworking people…”

As a mechanic, his only wish in this lifetime was to earn more money to buy a house for

to Fabled. Not only was Fabled four times larger, but the decoration there was also more luxurious than the ordinary private room. As floor-to-ceiling windows were everywhere, they could also admire a huge part of Oplen’s night view during their meals. Furthermore, on the huge round wooden table, there were nearly 100 types of exquisite dishes. At the sight of Fabled, Paige’s classmates were astonished. Once they regained their wits, they shot an envious look at Paige and thanked her in all sorts of ways. Among them, Polly–who had helped Leila mock Paige—began to butter up Paige. As if she were Paige’s henchman, she kept addressing Paige respectfully. In addition, Paige also became the center of the crowd. Instead of criticizing her, everyone

now, when they were outside, they dared to stand beside Joseph. However, now that there was no one else, they didn’t even have the guts to let out a breath. In fact, with the identities they had, they were not qualified to sit in Joseph’s presence. Moreover, Brian was inferior to Lara, so he totally had no right to speak Looking at Joseph-who was sitting calmly-Lara said carefully, “S… Sir, I’m sorry for the bad arrangements tonight. Please accept my apology…” Listening to Lara, Brian was silently quaking in his boots. With his fingers, Joseph tapped the table, remaining silent. After a while, he stared at them and uttered, “You two should’ve known something by now, but I’m sure both of you know what to say and what not to, right?” Lara and Brian quickly bowed. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “Please be rest assured, sir. We are well aware…” To that, Joseph nodded. “Great. You guys may go ahead. I’ll be staying here for a while and leave after my wife leaves…” “Sure, no problem…” With their heads lowered, Lara and Brian gingerly left the room, leaving Joseph alone. Then, Joseph walked to the window and looked at the scenery below wordlessly. It had been days since he
