The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

“Miss, good luck!” Olivia looked at Paige with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Seeing Paige’s calm expression, it was as if she wasn’t the one about to go on stage.

“Mm.” Paige gave her a faint smile and stepped down from the car.

“Paige!”

A chorus of voices called out in unison.

Paige looked up and saw Nick, Carrie, and the other nine members of Peak Club standing together, all dressed in formal attire-either suits or business-style dresses, as if they were there for work.

Since that night at the bar, she hadn’t gone out of her way to contact them.

They must have guessed something from her conversation with Isabella and were confused about whether to continue supporting her. She didn’t pressure them.

But the fact that they came meant everything.

“Paige, you look so cool today.”

Carrie walked over, smiling brightly, her eyes full of admiration.

“You’ve all made up your minds?” Paige asked them directly.

Her straightforwardness made Rey, Mila, and the others lower their heads in slight embarrassment, but Nick spoke up directly, “We were all a bit confused that night, but I’ve thought it over. No matter who you know, Paige, I said I’d follow you, and I meant it!”

“Me too.” Carrie said as she adjusted Paige’s earrings, making sure not a single detail was out of place.

“I’ve thought it over too. The Paige I know is bold and just, and she wouldn’t harm us. So, there’s nothing to worry about. Supporting Paige is the right thing to do.” Bobby added.

“That’s right.”

“Same here!”

Everyone echoed.

Hearing this, Paige smiled and said, “I’m relieved you all think that way. But if the day comes when I do harm you, protect yourselves-I won’t blame you.”

Paige didn’t realize how quickly those words would come true when she said them.

“Paige…” Carrie frowned. “Today’s your big speech day, why say something so unlucky?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Rey said, stretching out his chubby hand. “Let’s all cheer together.”

“Come on, come on!”

Everyone placed their hands on top of each other, stacking them high.

Paige watched them, smiled, and put her hand on top as well.

“Go, go, go!”

They shouted louder and louder, the energy infectious.

“I’m really envious of how close you all are in Peak Club. You seem like brothers and sisters.”

A soft voice suddenly interrupted.

Paige turned to see Rachel standing not far away, wearing an elegant and artistic long dress, her hair flowing, giving off a fairy-like aura. Beside her stood Nancy, who looked displeased and kept glaring at her.

“Oh, isn’t this the leader of Elite Club, who we at Peak Club have suppressed so much she can’t even lift her head?” Nick stepped forward, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Hearing this, Rachel’s smile remained as beautiful as ever, unchanged, as she walked directly towards Paige.

Carrie stepped forward, joining Nick in shielding Paige.

“What are you doing? It’s like you’re guarding against me.”

Rachel smiled as she stood there.

“Hasn’t your Elite Club caused enough trouble for Peak Club? You act like drama queens.” Nick glared back.

“Stay away from Paige.” Carrie said coldly.

“You’re overthinking it. I just heard that Joss is giving a speech today and came to support her.”

Rachel stood there, not moving forward, her expression sincere as she looked at Paige. “I really admire you. Since entering The Capital University, you’ve created miracles with your own abilities-Peak Club, The Public Law Council-you have countless supporters. In such a short time, you’ve risen to this position. I believe it won’t be long before you’re one of the most influential people in Country A.”

Paige stood there, hearing this, and smiled faintly. “I admire you too. You’ve achieved nothing, yet you can still keep up appearances.”

A flash of pain crossed Rachel’s eyes, but she nodded slightly and said, “You misunderstand me, and I can’t say much about it. So, I wish you the best of luck with your speech.”

With that, Rachel turned to leave, as if she truly had no other intentions.

At that moment, Nancy clenched her fists and suddenly charged at Paige, pushing Nick and Carrie aside as she tried to hit her. “Joss, you shameless person, you ruined my chances of going to school…”

Paige’s eyes turned cold. She easily caught Nancy’s wrist, controlling her so she couldn’t move.

“Nancy!”

Rachel looked over in shock, quickly stepping forward to pull Nancy back. Her hand brushed past Paige’s wrist as she frowned. “Nancy, stop causing trouble, will you?”

Paige flipped her hand, and Nancy let out a scream as she was thrown to the ground.

Rachel, delicate as she was, was pulled down as well, and the two of them ended up in a rather pitiful state.

“Serves you right.”

Nick spat, then turned to Paige. “Paige, forget them. You need to get on stage.”

“Mm.” Paige nodded and started to walk away. Suddenly, she looked down at her wrist, noticing the bracelet seemed to shimmer as if wet.

She hadn’t touched any water.

Just as she was about to touch it, her phone vibrated in her pocket. Paige pulled it out-it was a call from Enrico.

Paige put the phone to her ear. “Aren’t you in a meeting?”

“Has your speech started?”

Enrico’s deep voice reached her ears, sounding unusually heavy, unlike his usual self.

“Mm, I’m about to go on stage.” Paige thought he was troubled by something at work and was about to ask, but decided against it.

“Is security all set up?” Enrico asked seriously. “Are the citizens attending all cleared?”

“What’s wrong with you?” Paige found his concern odd.

There was a brief silence on the other end before Enrico spoke again. “I suddenly feel uneasy, like something’s going to happen.”

Shouldn’t he be worried about himself? Why is he concerned about her, who’s far away?

Paige looked at the crowd in front of her and said, “Then you be careful.”

“You be careful.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Enrico’s voice echoed hers almost simultaneously.

Paige chuckled. “I’ll be fine. I’m heading on stage now.”

“Okay,” Enrico responded, then suddenly called out to her, “Wait.”

Paige didn’t put down the phone and heard him say, “Paige, when I come back this time, you confess to me, alright? Stop waiting.”

“…”

Paige was speechless.

Seriously, do people even say things like that? What does he mean, “Stop waiting”?

Paige didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She simply said she was going on stage and hung up the phone, putting it away before stepping onto the worn steps, walking towards the podium.

The nine members of Peak Club stood proudly in the shadows, watching as Paige moved forward, her white figure merging with the sunlight of the day.

Thunderous applause erupted from below, as if the speech had already been a success.

Rachel returned to her seat, finding a spot in the front row, quietly watching the figure on stage, a subtle smile curving her lips.
