The Rise of Dragon Temple

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…”

the meal. Upon seeing Paige today, Estella displayed a huge smile on her face, which was completely different from yesterday’s black

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, she was looking forward to the grand wedding next month. On the contrary, Paige’s eyes were dim. Deep down, she also dreamed of having a romantic and sensational wedding together with 1314 pairs of newlywed couples. However, she knew that she wouldn’t stand a chance… Thinking that she was about to have a good son-in-law, Estella ate happily. Meanwhile, Paige was preoccupied with worries. Therefore, she didn’t stay long after the meal and left with an excuse. At 3 p.m., Paige and Serena went to find Joseph and the others. Looking at Joseph and Chloe—who were playing with each other happily–Paige felt a burst of warmth in her heart. Grand wedding? So what? She didn’t care. As long as she had them by her side throughout her life, that was enough…   “Paige, I think Joseph is a nice guy. I hope both of you will stay together forever…” Serena was also looking at Joseph and Chloe while uttering to Paige. “Yes, I will.” Paige nodded before walking to Joseph and Chloe. After greeting Joseph, she carried Chloe. “Mommy, I’m

control her emotions, she stared at the back of Paige and Chloe 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 you someone he can meet whenever he wants to? What is so great about his meal?” “Should I turn him down directly? He should learn to give up…” After saying that, Alpha I took his phone and was about to send a message to Dennis. Nonetheless, Joseph stopped him. With his eyes narrowed, Joseph uttered, “If he wants to, why not? I have some business with him too. Just as expected, he and Ernie are the same kind of people. All of
