The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Paige stood frozen, her face blank, and she abruptly turned to the direction of the gunshot, her breath almost stopping.

No.

It couldn’t be.

The guard from the reception room came out and looked into the distance. “Oh, it’s the direction of the execution ground. There’s a death row inmate being executed today. He’s a fugitive from the slums. Everyone is disgusted and doesn’t want to get involved. So it’s finally over.”

“……”

Paige stood there, struggling to breathe, her hand holding the phone weakly dropping down. It took her a long time to find her voice. “I think I forgot my notebook inside. I’m going to get it.”

With that, Paige lifted her leg and ran back inside, ignoring the guards’ warnings.

He couldn’t have died.

She wouldn’t let him die!

……

In the evening, the floor-to-ceiling glass of The Gustin Group’s CEO office reflected the darkening sky outside.

The day had been stifling, and as dusk approached, the sky began to change color.

“Mr. Gustin, the international finance summit will be held in two weeks. Mr. Wilson has once again personally invited you.”

Jaden stood in the CEO’s office, reporting the upcoming schedule to the man in front of him. Seeing the man’s lack of reaction, he couldn’t help but look up.

Enrico sat at his desk, supporting his head with one hand while spinning his phone with the other, his gaze deep and somber.

The black phone spun like a top on the desk.

Jaden suspected that Enrico wasn’t even listening to his report.

The phone screen lit up, showing a missed call.

Why is Paige calling him?

Is she missing him?

It must be so.

Ignoring him for a few days must have had some effect.

But if she hung up just because he didn’t answer immediately, and then didn’t call again? Can she really be that eager to see him?

Seems like she needs a lesson.

He won’t go back today! Let’s see if she cries!

“……”

Jaden stood there, watching his boss’s eyes flicker between satisfaction and murderous intent. The range of emotions on his face was unsettling.

Jaden quietly took a step back.

Before he could retreat two steps, Enrico suddenly stood up. “Prepare a suit for me.”

“Ah, what suit?”

Jaden couldn’t keep up with his thoughts.

“I’m going to pick up Paige from school.”

Enrico said in a deep voice, walking out without looking back.

“……”

Jaden stood in place, his head filled with question marks.

So, Mr. Gustin was just contemplating whether to pick up Miss Paige from school?

Is it really that complicated?

Jaden dared not think too much and quickly followed him.

The imposing dark gray sports car screeched to a halt in front of Peak Club, its tires leaving deep marks on the cement.

“Why hasn’t Paige come back yet? We were supposed to go to the bar together.”

Rey, Nick, and a few others were waiting at the door, playing mobile games and already exhausted. “Hey, Nick, can’t you stop?”

“What do you mean ‘stop’? The enemy got the kill, not me!”

Nick squatted by the door, his legs a bit numb.

Hearing the car, Nick looked up and saw the tall and cold figure stepping out of the sports car with an imposing aura.

“Clunk.”

Seeing the newcomer, Nick’s hand trembled, and his phone dropped to the ground.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The others looked up, recognizing the man as someone who had previously stormed Peak Club and was greatly favored by Paige. Even though he was still heavily armed, his innate presence was unmistakable.

Nick’s reaction was the most intense because seeing this man made his fingers hurt reflexively.

He couldn’t forget the pain from when his fingers were broken.

But who could he blame? It was his mistake to mistake his brother-in-law for a thug.

“B-brother-in-law…”

Nick stood up shakily, his numb legs causing him to stumble forward into Enrico’s arms.

Enrico, with a cold face, pushed him away, his mood instantly soured.

Nick bumped into the wall, quickly regaining his balance and nervously looking at Enrico’s face covered by a black mask. “Brother-in-law!”

Please don’t break any more fingers!

All ten fingers are connected to the heart!

Brother-in-law…

What a terrible address.

Enrico frowned, wondering who was related to him.

Brother-in-law.

Sister… Paige?

“……”

Rey, Mira, and the others were stunned to see Enrico. Paige’s man was here again.

Why does he have such a difficult demeanor?

He looks so unapproachable.

Nick stood next to Enrico, standing rigidly like in military training, and seeing the others’ dumbfounded expressions, he quickly cleared his throat and said, “Aren’t you going to call anyone?”

Trying to avoid getting your fingers broken too?

“Hello, brother-in-law!”

The group quickly straightened up and respectfully bowed their heads to Enrico.

This respect wasn’t entirely due to their admiration for Paige, but because the man before them exuded a pressure that was hard to describe.

A pressure that was inexplicably intense.

“……”

Enrico stood there, hearing the call, and suddenly found the term not so irritating.

While everyone thought his silence indicated dislike for the address, Enrico suddenly responded with a casual “Hmm.”

Then, Enrico’s voice intentionally lowered, “Where is she?”

The reflex arc of a brother-in-law seems quite long…

Nick scratched his silver hair and looked at him curiously. “Can’t you reach Paige, brother-in-law?”

“Can’t?”

Enrico’s cold eyes fixed on him, catching the key phrase.

“Yes, Paige and we had planned to go to the bar tonight, but she doesn’t even know the address. She doesn’t answer her calls or messages. We’re just waiting here.”

Nick explained.

“……”

Enrico’s face darkened instantly. He turned and walked towards his car while dialing the phone.

Nick and Rey exchanged confused glances.

The sports car sped away, leaving wet marks on the ground as raindrops began to fall.

Nick looked up at the half-cloudy sky, realizing it was raining.

The sports car raced through the rain, the wipers swishing back and forth, annoying Enrico.

The phone rang repeatedly with no response.

Enrico slammed his hand on the steering wheel, frustrated.

Another unanswered call.

Enrico decided to call Jaden. “Paige is missing. Find her immediately! Search the entire city if necessary!”

Jaden was stunned on the other end and instinctively responded, “Miss… ran away?”

“She couldn’t have run away!”

Enrico nearly shouted, his chest pounding and his gaze uneasy.

He had compromised and made concessions. Why would she still run away?

Just because he hadn’t returned to Rose Estate for dinner these past few days, she would throw such a tantrum?

It couldn’t be.

Or, had she been waiting for him to slacken so she could pull off something major?
