Chapter 570 A Step Ahead of Her
It was not until this moment that Carl saw Paige. The two girls had turned their backs on him a moment ago. One of them was the girl whom he had met in the restaurant, who looked a lot like his sister.
Carl still wanted to say something, but Angela took it and apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Mr. Spike. I had a conflict with Anna before, so I wanted to teach her a lesson… I usually treat the guests in the club very respectfully…”
Hearing the name Anna, Carl automatically thought of Paige’s face.
“Don’t make trouble for them in the future.”
“You know them?” Angela was a little unhappy. She didn’t expect that Anna, that bitch, knew so many people that even Mr. Spike stood up for her.
‘Last time, you were so willful that your father suspended your pocket money for three months. Do you remember that?”
“Mr. Spike, these people are my friends. What do you think we should do with them…” Angela blushed in embarrassment.
“You’ve grown up. In the future, it depends on the occasion when you mess around.”
“Yes, I will remember your instructions.”
Carl walked towards the private room. Daniel, who was following behind him, couldn’t help whispering, “Sir, have you noticed that the girl in front of you looks a little like your sister? Would the big fire that year…”
“I also have this suspicion.” Carl whispered, “But she is Ms. Elliott. If her identity is wrong, the Elliott family can’t hide it for so many years.”
“Could it be that the Elliott family didn’t notice it at all?”
“Go check it out.”
“Yes.”
Under the guidance of the staff, Anna and Paige arrived at Room 9111.
“What’s going on between you and that Angela?” Paige casually asked.
“She used to like to compete with others in school. Sometimes, when her parents took us to parties, we would meet them. In short, we had a few unpleasant encounters.”
“It seems that the two of us have made a lot of enemies.”
“No, with her aptitude, she is not qualified to be my enemy.” Anna looked at the time and patted Paige on the shoulder. “The auction will start in 20 minutes. I’ll go first.”
She still had something to do.
“Okay, be careful on the way.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Don’t worry, Paige. I’m traveling all over the world. You have to be careful of Angela. Otherwise, she’ll make trouble for you later.”
“I think she’s quite afraid of Mr. Spike. I don’t think so.”
“Anyway, be careful,” Anna said and left.
Sitting on the sofa in the private room, Paige exuded the aura of a big shot. She sent a Line message to Martin.
After a while, someone knocked on the door.
All of a sudden, Paige became alert. “Who is it?”
“Ms. Paige, it’s me. I’m sorry for what happened just now. I specially brought you a fruit plate and two bottles of red wine.”
When Paige opened the door, there was a staff member outside. She stepped aside.
The staff pushed the cart in and put the things on the table one by one. “I’m really sorry to let you and Ms. Anna have a bad experience. These are all given by us for free. I hope you two can be magnanimous and forget the unpleasantness tonight.”
“Yes.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.” The staff member left after delivering the things.
Paige looked at the things on the table. In addition to fruit plates, red wine, some snacks, and lemon water.
She poured a glass of lemon water and sniffed it. There was no poison in it and she took a sip.
At this time, there was a sudden sound from the balcony of the room, and a figure landed on her balcony.
The curtains were rolled up in the wind, and a figure broke in.
Just as Paige was about to make her move, she saw that the person in front of her was none other than Mr. Spike.
He fled from the balcony next door and was covering his injured arm. His white shirt was stained with blood, and there were seven or eight people chasing after him.
Perhaps Carl did not expect to meet Paige here. He was a little surprised because the girl was not wearing a mask. Her beautiful facial features were very similar to his sister’s.
The seven to eight of them swiftly charged at Carl, to which Paige raised her leg and gave a kick.
At this time, the host’s excited voice came from the wall, “Heart Piercing Crow, 4.8 million dollars going once!”
When Paige heard this, she turned her head and saw that the host was already holding a small hammer in his hand and was eager for the final decision right away.
The two knives came at Paige at the same time. She kicked their wrists away and quickly knocked them down.
“Heart Piercing Crow, 4.8 million dollars going twice!”
Paige quickly found the button next to the sofa. Just as she was about to press it, two more people slashed at her with their knives.
“Heart Piercing Crow, 4.8 million dollars for the third time, deal! Let’s congratulate Mr. White for winning the first treasure today, the Heart Piercing Crow. Let’s congratulate him again with the hottest applause!”
Through the camera, Mr. White, who won the Heart Piercing Crow, smiled and nodded at everyone under the spotlight.
Paige was speechless.
Carl could see depression and disappointment in the girl’s eyes. Was she here tonight for the Heart Piercing Crows?
The next item to be auctioned quickly appeared…
Four or five of them had been knocked down by Paige.
Carl had not expected the girl to be so skilled. It seemed like none of these people were her match…
Knowing that they had no chance of winning, the remaining three or four jumped off the cruise ship and swam away.
“Are you alright?” Carl asked with concern.
Paige glanced at him. “You’ve been poisoned.”
“Do you mean that my wound is poisonous?”
“Including the smell of your body. You must have smelled something and felt weak all over.”
It seemed that this man had helped them out on the deck just now. At this time, Paige put her slender fingers on his pulse.
“Sure enough.”
Carl was a little curious. He really couldn’t exert his strength. Otherwise, those lackeys wouldn’t have had the chance to take advantage of him.
At this time, the door of the private room was kicked open, and Daniel appeared with more than a dozen men.
“I’m sorry, sir. I was stupid and fell into their trap.”
Just now, when he heard some noise on the balcony, he ran there and found that a few people were sneaking away.
He immediately led his men to chase after him, leaving Mr. Spike alone in the room.
Later, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
At this time, when he saw Paige’s face, he was a little surprised. This girl looked too similar to Mr. Spike’s sister.
However, he didn’t forget to get down to business. He first caught a few unconscious minions on the ground.
“It’s a low-level knockout incense. It needs to be distributed in the air two hours in advance. Check the people who entered and left your private room two hours ago.”
After that, Paige took out a small spray bottle from her backpack, pressed it a few times, and sprayed the medicine on the man’s wound.
‘What are you doing?” Daniel was nervous.
‘The wound is poisonous. This is the antidote.”
After that, Paige wrapped a white bandage around Carl’s wound and said, ‘Give me your hand.”
