The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 46
“My... my name?” Estella stared at her name on the property ownership certificate in a daze, and her tears instantly rolled down
her cheeks. Seeing that, Willow who ridiculed Estella just now-felt a burning pain on her face. Actually, her son in-law only
bought a small house of 80 square meters located in the cheapest zone
-D Zone. On the contrary, Estella’s son-in-law bought a 130 square meters big house located in the best zone-A Zone. Besides,
he directly gave it to Estella! As there was a world of difference between her and Estella, Willow was too ashamed to stay. Before
Estella came to her senses, Willow quickly fled with her head down. “Mom...” “Estella!” As soon as Willow left, Yahir and Serena
ran over breathlessly. Since Yahir had lived with Estella for many years, he knew very well that every time they fought, she would
come here to ease her mood. And just as expected, he and Serena found her here. However, Estella was too immersed in her
name on the property ownership certificate, so she did not respond to Yahir and Serena. “Joseph?” Seeing Joseph and Chloe
beside Estella, Serena got more confused. After that, she hurried to Estella with Yahir. Although Yahir also saw Joseph and
Chloe, he was not in the mood to talk to
-who was still bewildered—and apologized, “Estella, you did nothing wrong. It’s all my fault. I’m so sorry. If you’re still mad, just
hit me. Sorry for my impulsiveness. Sorry...” In fact, the moment Estella ran out of the house, crying, Yahir had regretted his
actions and went after her. She was right. Although she didn’t contribute much these years, she still deserved credit for her
efforts. After all, she accompanied him through the tough times and raised two beautiful daughters for him. Therefore, once he
overcame his anger, he quickly came over to apologize to her. Even so, she still ignored him, while tears still flowing down from
her eyes. After a long time, she looked up at Joseph, feeling complicated. “Joseph, you... you...” (This novel will be daily

actually bought her a house. Before this, she would give him a long face every time they met. Even this morning, she scolded
him and took away the car he bought for Paige. Despite all of that, he still treated her nicely. Hence, she couldn’t get her mind
straight for a while... With a smile, Joseph nodded to Estella. “Mom, you don’t have to say anything.
Instead, I would like to thank you for the toys you bought for Chloe last night. She likes them. This house is my gift for you. You
can move in tonight if you want. Now, all that’s left for you to do is to visit the real estate office with your ID card to amend all the
related information. I have spoken to them about this...” “Hm? House? What house?” Confused, Yahir looked at Joseph and then
at Estella, only to find that Estella had a property ownership certificate in her hand. Just now he was so panic that he did not
notice it. The next moment, Yahir opened his mouth wide and pointed at the property ownership certificate. In disbelief, he stared
at Estella and asked, “This house is... is

Looking at him, Estella nodded affirmatively. “Yes, it’s a 130 square meters house located in A Zone with three rooms and two
halls. Joseph bought it, and he, he put in under my name...” “What? This...” Yahir instantly turned to look at Joseph, and his
eyes were out on stalks. For a while, he was unable to utter a word. Smilingly, Joseph nodded at Yahir. “You heard it right, Dad.
All that’s left is for you to complete the procedures with Mom...” “No, no, no... I... You, this house, this... this...” Yahir stuttered.
For his whole life, he had worked hard to fulfill Estella’s wish, but it was impossible. Nevertheless, Joseph bought the house
without any hesitation! Moreover, it was a 130 square meters house with three bedrooms and two halls located in the best spot in
Paragon Villa! At this moment, even after double confirming with Estella and Joseph, Yahir still found it hard to believe. Seeing
Yahir’s reaction, Joseph had no choice but to continue nodding and explained, “It’s true. I have cleared the payment, so there is
no house loan. You and Mom can also move in at any time...” “This... This must’ve cost you a fortune...” Yahir was still
perplexed. He wouldn’t even dare to imagine the price for a large house in A Zone. It could be at least a few million or more!
Upon hearing Yahir’s words, Joseph chuckled without saying anything. On the other hand, Serena looked at Joseph with great
gratitude as tears welled up in her eyes. She remembered when she called him this afternoon, she mentioned that Estella liked
the house in Paragon Villa and often quarreled(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) with Yahir because of this.
Then, the next thing she knew was that Joseph had bought the house... The more she thought, the more thankful she felt...
Suddenly, Paige’s anxious cry came from a distance. “Dad! Mom! Are you all right?” An hour ago, Serena called Paige.
Therefore, Paige quickly left the company to find Estella. After all, to her, work was far less important than her family. Upon
spotting Yahir and Estella in a daze, she felt that something was off. Besides, Joseph and
Chloe were also here. Thinking about that, she became more worried. “Dad! Mom! Are you all right? What is with your
expression? What happened?” she nervously ran to Yahir and Estella and asked while catching her breath. Feeling awkward,
Estella dared not look at Paige. Following that, Yahir looked at Paige with a complicated expression and stuttered, “Paige,
Joseph... he... he...” But just before he could finish his words, Paige interrupted him anxiously and questioned Joseph. “Joseph,
did you quarrel with them because of the car again? (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)If you’re unwilling to
give them, then take it back!” Due to anxiousness, Paige got mad at Joseph. “Uh...” Stunned, Joseph was at a loss for words for
a while. When Yahir saw that Paige was about to scold Joseph again, he quickly explained, “House! It’s about the house! The
house in Paragon Villa! Don’t get him wrong. He bought a house for your Mom. So, don’t scold him. Don’t...” “W... What?
Joseph bought a house in Paragon Villa for Mom?” Paige was surprised like Yahir from moments ago. Although she didn’t know
much about cars, she had some understanding about housing. The house in Paragon Villa? It must’ve costed a fortune. As her
jaw dropped, she looked at Estella—who was holding the property ownership certificate-in confusion. Feeling ashamed, Estella
could feel a burning pain on her face. Nonetheless, facing Paige’s inquiry, she forced herself to nod and clarified, “Well, Joseph
just bought it. As for what happened this morning, I was wrong. I’m sorry, Paige...” Upon finishing, she quickly added, “You can
take back the car later. Joseph bought it for you, after all... Sorry for what I did this morning. I became impulsive after hearing
Lily’s words...” This time, she kept mentioning Joseph by his name using a polite tone. In fact, it was merely because she was

astounded by his generosity. When Joseph heard Estella talking about the car, he smiled, “Mom, I told you it’s because I didn’t
think it through. Also, Chloe and I just bought another same car this morning. So, you can have the one you drove away. When
you have time, you may go to the motor vehicle administration agency and change the owner’s
information...” “Oh...” Everyone was stunned except the innocent Chloe and Serena—who knew part of Joseph’s status. At that
moment, Chloe thought that her father looked dashing, while Serena thought that her brother-in-law was awesome. While
everyone was shocked or stupefied, Joseph smiled faintly. Since he and Paige had solved their grudges last night and got
together, he thought he could push forward his plans, including next month’s grand wedding. In addition, after today, he felt that
Estella would no longer oppose him and Paige, so there was no need to delay the wedding... The following atmosphere was
strange. Estella was too embarrassed to take a look at the house. However, Yahir proposed to go in and have a look. Thus, the
whole family went in. All the way, Estella only stole a few glances while keeping her head low. She didn’t dare to look at Joseph.
After viewing the house, everyone followed Estella to the real estate office to transfer utilities to her name. Once all the official
documents, receipts, and house keys were in Estella’s hands, she finally believed that she owned a house in Paragon Villa. At
night, they had their dinner at a restaurant next to Paragon Villa. During the meal, Estella was very awkward. Not only did her
eyes averted Joseph, but she also dared not speak in front of him. Only when everyone was about to disperse after dinner, she
nervously stopped Joseph. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Bowing her head, she said apologetically,
“Joseph... I... I am sorry. I was mean to you before. Please... Please don’t take it to heart. You are a nice man, and I am relieved
that you will be Paige’s husband. Please forgive me for what I did last time...”
smiled at her while holding Chloe in his arms. “Mom, don’t be. Since I am an orphan, you will be my mother from now on. Chloe
likes you very much too. Besides, what happened in the past was also because of my mistake, so I should be the one
apologizing. From today onward, let’s live happily as a family...” Actually, there was a hurtful reason why he referred to himself
as an orphan. Ever since his family drove him out six years ago, he swore he would never have any relation with them again.
Upon hearing what Joseph said, Estella vibrated and nodded in agreement. Then, she took Chloe from Joseph’s arms and left
happily. “Chloe, do you want me to drive you home? I can drive, and my driving skills are great... Estella suggested to Chloe.
After nodding cutely, Chloe responded, “Okay, Grandma. Let’s go home!” Meanwhile, Yahir looked at Joseph with a complex
expression and nodded apologetically, to which Joseph responded politely. Following that, Yahir got in the car while Serena shot
Joseph a look of admiration. Knowing that Paige wanted to talk to Joseph, Serena also got in Estella’s car. When there was only
Paige and Joseph left, Paige uttered with a mixed feeling, “Umm... About this afternoon, I’m sorry. I have no idea you...” Joseph
interrupted her, “It’s okay. As long as you don’t blame me, I will be fine. I’ve bought a house for Mom, but I haven’t bought
ours...” Immediately, Paige shook her head. “Don’t worry about that. I... I’m already grateful for what you did for me...” After she
finished, a trace of doubt arose in her eyes. Facing Joseph, she opened her mouth, but when the words were on the tip of her
tongue, she didn’t know what to

say.
Naturally, Joseph understood what she wanted to ask, so he smiled, threw the new car key to her, and said, “I know what you
want to ask. You want to know where I got all this money and how I got to know Lara and Brian last night, am I right?” To that,
Paige nodded but quickly explained, “It... It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me. I won’t ask anymore. As long as you are good to
me, I will be glad enough. I know you have your secrets, but you don’t have to tell me about it.” At this moment, she was a
bundle of nerves. Hearing that, Joseph shook his head and chuckled, “There is no such thing as secrets. Five years ago, when
you met me, didn’t I tell you that I was betrayed, and my company closed down? Well, the company did close down, but there
was a piece of land left. I believe you know how expensive the lands in Usmait have become in five years. Mine was in the
suburbs, but I managed to sell it for more than 10 million dollars. So don’t worry, when you are free, we will choose a better
house with Chloe. I still have enough to afford one. Trust me. If you stay with me, I promise I won’t let you and Chloe suffer again
in this life...” With glimmering eyes, Paige gazed at Joseph. At this moment, her heart was once again moved by him, and a rich
sense of happiness rose in her heart. After a period of silence, she felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more
awkward. She could even feel his breath getting closer to her. Instantly, her heart raced, and she quickly uttered, “I’11... I’ll drive
the car here.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” Then, she blushed, lowered her head, and ran away.
However, she immediately regretted her actions, so her face became redder... While looking at Paige, who was walking to the
parking space, he picked up his phone and called Alpha l. “Inform Dennis and Ernie to hold the grand wedding in advance.
Instead of waiting till next month, we will hold it in three days... After finishing speaking, Joseph hung up the phone. As he stared
at Paige’s back, the love in his eyes intensified, and he muttered inwardly, “Paige, since you have promised me, how can I let
you wait for any longer?” In fact, there was another reason, which was Lily and the others. Although he and Paige were only
back for a few days, those brainless and snobbish people kept looking for trouble with them. His patience had reached the limit,
so he decided to hold the wedding in three days. After giving Paige a sensational wedding, he believed that no one would dare to
compete with her in the future.
