I Am An Illegitimate Child With A Legitimate Reason For Revenge-Chapter 207: Then what did you do wrong?

Suddenly, the man whom she was supposedly engaged to, Matthew, walked in with his mother, only to spit out foul words at her.

"I never knew you were a girl with loose morals. You didn’t look like it." He said with a smug on his face. "But no matter, so long as you can fulfill your wifely duties, I will still marry you."

Paige clenched her fists as she tried to compose herself. It wasn’t worth it losing her cool in front of these people.

Her side-eye caught Maxwell standing at the door. It looked like he heard everything and was furious.

Thankfully, his face had been censored in the edited video, but that did not make her feel any better. Whoever posted such a video was aiming for her ruined reputation.

"Don’t come here." She mouthed at him. He felt so pissed that he marched out of there without any other person noticing. She sighed in relief.

"Don’t worry too much, Patriarch. Once she’s in my son’s house, she will have no choice but to deviate from such a horrible attitude." Matthew’s mother said and Paige looked at her grandfather.

Was he going to keep quiet while they spoke badly about her?

"Hm, I think we should run a test first." Matthew suddenly said and Paige’s eyes narrowed at him. "You never know, she might be infected from being too loose."

As soon as he said this, a fist came flying towards his direction and landed on his face, causing him one of his teeth and throwing him off his feet.

"What did you just say about my sister?" Skylar growled and cracked his knuckles.

"Why don’t you repeat that and eat my fist a few more times?"

Paige stared at Skylar. For a moment, she thought it might’ve been Maxwell but she was relieved he wasn’t the one. She didn’t want to drag him into this mess.

"You... how could you?" Matthew’s mother ranted. "One of them has a loose body while the other has a loose fist. You both are so loose that I wonder if you’re truly legitimate children of the Winston’s."

This woman had crossed the line and Skylar faced her. He had no problem hitting women, even if they could be the same age as his late mother.

As long as they deserved it, he would do it.

He raised his hand to slap her but Paige called out,

"Skylar." He paused and looked back at her. "Don’t dirty your hands with filth. For all we know, they are going to pull the same stunt again and brand you as a violent psychopath."

She got to her feet, eyed the both of them, and simply walked away.

Her grandfather who was sitting at the corner shook his head like they were some sort of disappointment.

Paige glanced at the door. Maxwell was long gone and she wondered where he had gone. She sighed, hoping he wouldn’t go off to do something stupid.

"Sis, are you okay?" Skylar asked as they left there.

"Never been better." She grinned and Skylar understood she had a plan installed.

From her pocket, she took out a recording device. She had recorded their conversation but was yet to know how to use it.

The right time would come soon.

Surprisingly, the right time to use it came the very next day.

A sex video leaked on the internet and the people involved were Matthew, the reporter who covered the story of Paige attempting a seduction act and failing, another random guy, and a lady.

One would conclude that it was a foursome sex video between three guys and one girl but the contents were contrary to anyone’s expectations.

Matthew took the two guys up his ass while he put his in the single lady that was present.

It was something no one would’ve thought of.

Paige couldn’t watch more than three seconds and threw her eyes away from the disgusting man who suggested taking her to run various tests because he feared she might be infected with some rare disease.

Without waiting to find out who posted it, she anonymously released the audio recording with Matthew asking her to run tests and the caption that said,

’It’s clear who among them needs to run tests’

The news got far and there were a lot of reactions against Matthew but aside from that, there was the part that Matthew’s family business was falling at a rapid rate by some unknown force.

After that was done, Paige went to find Maxwell. He was drinking away at a bar.

Maxwell was seriously mad that he was the reason Paige got insulted to such an extent and even the things he did were not enough to atone for it.

"Thought I might find you here," Paige said as she approached him and he turned his head to see her. She was wearing a casual black dress and had her hair tied in a neat bun.

It looked like she was coming back from the office.

"You should be resting at home." He said. "Aren’t you tired?"

"I can manage." She said and waved her hand, calling forth the bartender. "So, what have you been up to?"

"Reflecting." He simply said and drank from his glass. "I did something wrong."

"Are you talking about the video you posted about those scumbags?" She asked and he looked at her for a moment.

"As expected." He simply said. He knew she would be on to him without him even saying anything and he was right. He drank the rest of the contents in his glass and said, "I did nothing wrong there."

"Then what did you do wrong?"

"I was negligent and let them post such a video of you and I contributed by pouring you that iced bucket of water." He said and she nodded.

"So what about the sex tape?"

"They deserved it. Those mother fuckers deserved it. I should have done even more." he said and growled. "Bastards."

"Hm, were they all involved in it?" She asked him.

The bartender came forth and poured her a glass of tequila at her request and refilled Maxwell’s glass.

"The girl in the video was the waiter who let the reporter know where our booth was. The reporter was very guilty and that other guy helped spread the news. They were all involved so I destroyed them." He looked dead serious with his eyes glowing with hatred.

Paige figured that that was the only reason he left without making a scene at her place. She was glad that he took such a ’wise’ means to get back at them but she was still wondering.

"How did you do it though?" She asked him. It was clear that Matthew was a woman-loving whore so how did he manage to take in two guys at once in his ass?

"I made them delusional," Maxwell said, twirling the tip of his glass. "I made it so that they could fuck themselves. None of them were innocent so they had to pay the price."

Delusional! As in drugged them? A simple drugging wouldn’t do that much though. Well, it didn’t matter now.

"Did it relieve you of your guilt?" She asked him, putting her hand on his shoulder but he shook his head.

"It doesn’t wash away the way people see you now." He said, sincerely looking bad about the whole thing. "I caused this and..."

"Max," she called and he lifted his gaze from the glass to meet hers. "...I am a Winston. Even if people look at me like that, they won’t have the guts to tell me to my face. At the end of the day, they will still try to butter me up."

Maxwell went silent. It was true that they wouldn’t approach her carelessly but the thought of people having such thoughts of her was appalling.

"Maxwell," She called and moved her hand to brush his hair. He felt her hand lightly grazing over his hair and looked up with a light blush on his cheeks. "Just think about it, if you hadn’t poured the water on me, a full sex tape might’ve leaked to the public." She said, "Would that have been better?"

Maxwell was silent. It would’ve been worse but then again, she wouldn’t have been tagged as a failed seductress. If he has gone ahead to sleep with her then maybe...

A flick on the forehead jolted him out of his thoughts.

"You were thinking of a scenario where you’d have given ahead to sleep with me, weren’t you?" She asked him and for a moment, he stared at her face.

She was such a beautiful lady and he had already told himself he would commit everything to her. She was the only reason he was still working hard.

He needed to be rich, capable, and reliable to be able to stand next to her.

"You’re beautiful." He muttered and though Paige heard it, she just smiled and turned to drink her tequila.

"Going forward, let’s just stay away from private booths for the meantime." She said and he smiled.

"Yeah." He also drank his whiskey. Though he felt a bit disappointed that they wouldn’t be meeting frequently. But then she said,

"Rather, let’s meet up in the open. It would be better if the news article was about us dating and not having a one night of failed seduction." She said and chuckled before smiling warmly.

Maxwell was surprised. Did that mean she was finally accepting his proposal? He didn’t want to ask. He was scared that if he did, she would give him an answer, contrary to what he wanted.

It was better to stay oblivious to her true intentions.

"Alright." He said with a little smile. "Let’s go out in the open."
