Chapter 794: Evidence

Paul didn't finish listening to Joseph and hung up the phone directly.

On the other end, Joseph was so angry he almost threw his phone.

Caroline and Nicholas packed their things.

"Do we have ingredients?" Caroline asked.

Paul replied, "Yes, knowing you were coming, I had the fridge stocked yesterday."

"I'll cook." Caroline took off her coat and walked into the kitchen.

Nicholas and Paul went to the study.

Nicholas no longer needed a wheelchair, but he still couldn't run. He could still feel pain if he stood and walked for too long.

He sat in a leather office chair, with Paul standing across from him, separated by a desk.

"How are things now?" Nicholas asked.

Paul casually picked up a pen and twirled it. "The Thomas Group isn't doing well this year. Someone in the industry is suppressing the Thomas Group, and Joseph wants to use me for a marriage alliance."

Nicholas, expressionless, continued to ask, "What about Preston?"

Paul sneered, "Preston is running around trying to find wealthy people to boost his own power."

"Are they still planning to go after you and Aunt?"

"Given the current situation, they don't dare for now. Joseph still has use for me."

"What do you plan to do?"

Paul sat down in a chair, crossed his legs, and started shaking them. "I want to leave Joseph with nothing."

Nicholas said, "I don't recommend a scorched-earth approach."

"Unless absolutely necessary, I won't do that. Don't worry, Nicholas. You and Caroline just enjoy yourselves here. I know how to handle these things."

Nicholas frowned slightly. If Paul was pushed too far, he would do anything without regard for the consequences.

Caroline finished making lunch, and Paul stayed to eat and then left.

Nicholas napped with Caroline, and in the afternoon, he spent an hour handling some work online. Afterward, they strolled around the villa.

They were only staying in Country Y for a week and then headed back home.

After such a long honeymoon, Josie must be missing them at home.

In the evening, Paul finally appeared in the dining room when Joseph called for the third time.

Joseph's dark expression finally eased a bit.

Paul walked over, sat in a chair, and lounged casually.

Seeing his nonchalant posture, Joseph frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Sit properly. When the guests arrive, what will they think if they see you like this?"

Ashley, sitting next to Joseph, didn't oppose Joseph finding a marriage partner for Paul. She also hoped Paul could have a strong ally, so she echoed Joseph's words and gently pulled Paul.

Ashley said, "Sit properly; they'll be here soon."

Before the guests arrived, Joseph quickly briefed Paul on their background.

"The Mitchell Family has a lot of business in Country Y. If we can form a marriage alliance with them, the Thomas Group will be more stable in Country Y with their help."

"I plan to expand into Country Z later this year, and we'll need the Mitchell Family's help then too. So tonight, you must behave well. Whether it works out or not, don't embarrass the Thomas Family."

"As for the previous marriage prospects you ruined, I won't mention them."

Joseph lectured Paul, while Ashley remained silent, not siding with Paul this time.

Paul stayed silent, slightly lowering his head, looking very obedient, which made Joseph quite satisfied.

The waiter brought the guests in, and Joseph quickly stood up to greet them.

"Mr. Mitchell." Joseph extended both hands to shake hands with Lucas.

Lucas smiled, followed by reluctant Christina.

Christina was frustrated. Even on an academic exchange trip abroad, Lucas dragged her to a blind date. She felt so unlucky.

Lucas was just on a business trip, and someone approached him to introduce a blind date for her.

As soon as Christina entered, Paul saw her.

Paul's eye twitched. 'How unlucky am I to run into Christina in Country Y, and for the second time at a blind date? Couldn't she find anyone to marry?' Paul thought in mind.

Lucas was warmly invited to sit by Joseph. As he moved aside, Christina also saw Paul sitting there, watching her leisurely.

"You!" Christina's eyes widened in surprise. "You jerk, what are you doing here?"

She had a bad feeling.

Hearing the word "jerk," Paul's face darkened. "Miss Mitchell, if you call me that again, I'll sue you for personal attack."

"You're a jerk, and I can't call you that? You have a wife and child and still come to a blind date." Christina shouted.

Hearing their voices, Lucas also looked over. Seeing Paul, his face darkened.

Ashley recognized Christina too. Wasn't she the girl Aragorn wanted to introduce to Nicholas? Nicholas didn't go to the dinner, but Paul did and got called a jerk by her.

When Joseph mentioned meeting the Mitchell Family tonight, she didn't expect it to be this Mitchell Family.

"Miss Mitchell, where did you hear that my son has a wife and child? Do you have proof?" Ashley was unhappy with Paul being called names.

Paul echoed, "Exactly. Without evidence, calling people names can make your mouth crooked."

Christina was already against the blind date, and seeing Paul made her feel worse than eating a fly.

Since that was the case, she decided to teach Paul a lesson.

"I'm a doctor. His son's surgery was done at our hospital. You can check the hospital records. The child is less than a year old." Christina spoke seriously, making Joseph look at Paul half-believingly.

"When did you have a child?" He was suspicious. Paul often went back to the country. Could it be that he secretly got married and had a child there?

Joseph's face darkened further.

Paul rolled his eyes. "Miss Mitchell, did you buy your medical license?"

"What?"

"Even a dog is smarter than you."

Christina glared at him. 'Is he calling me stupid?'

Seeing Christina's puffed-up face, Paul said with interest, "That child is my brother's assistant's. The father had an accident and couldn't take care of the child, so I took care of him for a few days."

"Miss Mitchell, you remember the child's blood type, right? I'm A, and he's O."

Christina hadn't forgotten the child's blood type. She had a deep impression of the child because he was so young and seriously ill.

Paul leaned back, smiling at Christina. "If you still don't believe it, how about a paternity test? Come on, draw some blood and test it."

Christina stared at his hand, a large hand with distinct fingers, and his forearm's skin was smooth and perfect, even better than a woman's.

Could she have misunderstood?

Christina frowned.

"Then what about your wife?"

Paul replied, "I don't have a wife. Tell me, who is my wife?"
