CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: BEATEN TO DEATH

This is a blatant threat to Paige Sterling.

Shaun Jones looked completely speechless.

Paige has such a strong background; in the entertainment industry, she’s never boasted about her family’s clout, and here comes this nouveau riche daring to say such things in front of her?

Blondie’s father thought he had scared Paige, and said, "You better pray my son comes out okay, or the price you’ll pay will be far beyond what you imagine."

At this moment, Paige was immensely grateful to have a hardworking father who shielded her, otherwise she’d really have no choice but to endure certain grievances and insults.

"I’d like to see what kind of severe price you can make me pay." Truly, there are some genes that are inheritable—birds of a feather flock together.

Paige looked at their faces like she was watching a monkey show.

"Truly won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Blondie’s father sneered, immediately taking out his phone, as if he was about to make some connections.

And to think, all this is happening at the police station; quite audacious, those connections must be strong.

However, before he could dial, Blondie’s father suddenly saw someone he recognized walking in through the police station entrance.

He immediately put down his phone and went over to greet, "Secretary Jones, didn’t expect to meet you here."

Shaun Jones nodded to Blondie’s father, politely asking what brought him to the police station.

Blondie’s father glanced at Paige, saying, "Secretary Jones, you must know my good-for-nothing son, out there making a mess with those promiscuous affairs, and this woman isn’t any better—look, they’ve made a scene at the police station."

Shaun Jones hesitated as he saw Blondie’s father look at Paige, and immediately took two steps back, distancing himself and then asking, "So you mean, this Miss Sterling and your son...?"

Blondie’s father sighed, "Yeah, nowadays women will go to any lengths to marry into a wealthy family. My son may be unreliable, but even he wouldn’t bring a woman from such shady places home. This woman got furious and put my son in the hospital."

Shaun Jones’ mouth twitched, "Are you suggesting Miss Sterling tried to seduce your son to marry into a wealthy family, got rejected, and then hit him in a rage?"

Blondie’s father found it odd, sensing something strange about Shaun Jones’ attitude.

But he had no time to think deeply, nodding his head.

Shaun Jones glanced at the lawyer.

The lawyer nodded, adjusted his glasses, and said, "I’d like to ask a few questions. First, how did your son get beaten by a single woman?"

Not giving Blondie’s father time to react, he quickly asked, "Secondly, may I ask how much wealth your family possesses?"

Blondie’s mother, oblivious, replied with pride, "Our family fortune can barely make it into the top twenty of the rich list."

Secretary Jones further inquired, "Do you know the net worth of Miss Sterling?"

Blondie’s parents were completely dumbfounded.

Shaun Jones spoke up, "I’m sorry to say, your family’s net worth isn’t even a tenth of Miss Sterling’s, and you think she’s scheming to marry into your family? Are you still dreaming?"

Blondie’s father was shocked, unable to comprehend why Shaun Jones suddenly sided with Paige.

Just then, Julian Hawthorne and Jared Sullivan arrived.

This night, two of the three business moguls showed up, leaving Blondie’s parents bewildered once more, and they quickly greeted them.

Shaun Jones said, "Seems like you know President Sterling, huh."

Blondie’s father fawningly replied, "President Sterling’s reputation is well-known; of course, I know."

Shaun Jones continued, "Then you probably know that this desperate-to-marry into wealth Miss Sterling is actually Mr. Sterling’s only daughter."

Blondie’s parents, "...!!?"

What? Paige is actually Jared Sullivan’s daughter?

How’s that possible? How can that be?

While they were still in shock, Jared Sullivan had already walked up to Paige, asking after her well-being.

"Beau, tell Daddy, who was bullying you?"

Blondie’s father slumped into a chair.

Blondie’s mother was even more dumbfounded.

They had just kept asserting that Paige wanted their wealth by marrying into their family, only to find out she belonged to an even wealthier family; at this moment, they not only felt their faces burning, but also their hearts, embarrassed to death, wishing to crawl into a hole.

Shaun Jones smirked slightly.

Miss Sterling is not only beautiful but also the sole heir; even blind, she wouldn’t look at their son as anything worthwhile.

Calling their son a treasure, thinking everyone would be interested.

Paige didn’t say anything; Jared Sullivan thought she was scared.

"Beau, don’t let fear worry daddy. Why are you not telling daddy? Tell me, where did you get hurt?"

Paige stood up and turned in front of Jared Sullivan, "I’m not hurt anywhere, Dad."

Only then did Jared Sullivan breathe a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Blondie’s parents.

While Paige lifted her eyes to look at Julian Hawthorne, wondering why he came too.

Julian explained, "I was discussing things with President Sterling and decided to accompany him here."

Paige uttered an ’oh’.

Julian quickly glanced at her, pulled a small band-aid from his bag, and handed it to Paige.

Paige, "...?"

Julian, "Your left hand’s back is injured."

Paige raised her hand and indeed saw a scratch on the back of her left hand, probably got it accidentally somewhere.

She hadn’t even noticed, yet Julian saw it first thing.

As she was about to take the band-aid, Julian tore it open and lifted her hand, sticking it on.

Paige, "..."

By this time, Jared Sullivan had already heard the one-sided cause and effect from Blondie’s parents. Though they didn’t dare lie, and spoke relatively objectively.

But there was still a hint of trying to clear their son’s name, pulling a passing girl into the matter, yet saying their son merely wanted to befriend Paige.

Jared Sullivan wasn’t convinced and asked Paige.

Paige said, "I had arranged to meet up with Summer, passed through the corridor; they saw me, found me pretty, forcibly pulled me in and tried to assault me. Their pants were already down, and I took pictures of it."

Blondie’s parents, "...!!", it was clearly you telling them to take off their pants!

Paige’s words made Jared Sullivan’s veins pop with anger.

The thought of his daughter almost experiencing such a thing made him want to annihilate those guys entirely!

"Beasts! Those beasts! I must beat them to death!"

Blondie’s parents didn’t have time to explain, only able to apologize, "President Sterling, I apologize for not teaching my son properly, please forgive us!"

Paige is Sterling Family’s daughter, holding all the evidence; now, not to mention destroying his son, even tearing down their whole family is easy; this loss is definite.
