The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Jaden knelt there, thinking he had misheard. When he looked up, he saw both Enrico and Paige staring at him. He quickly stood up and walked forward, almost stumbling as he knelt again near the door.

He looked quite pitiful.

“Jaden, in the Gustin Group, you’re second only to one person, right?” Paige asked, looking at him.

Hearing this, Jaden bowed his head in guilt and unease, his face pale. “Yes, I used the power that the boss gave me to betray him, causing Miss to be trapped in Gangnam Hall. My sin is unforgivable.”

Even though he knew that the boss cherished Paige, he still betrayed him, always thinking he was right.

But when he learned that the boss had returned to the country on a refugee ship, he realized he had been wrong.

“Then don’t kneel here anymore,” Paige said indifferently, sitting at the tea table. “From today on, continue to use your power to do something, like causing trouble for Rafael.”

“…”

Jaden looked up at her in astonishment.

Cause trouble for Rafael?

Enrico raised an eyebrow as he listened.

Interesting.

“You seem to know him well. You should know what would cause Rafael the most headaches. Do whatever it takes,” Paige said.

Jaden didn’t quite understand what she meant, so he looked at Enrico, who showed no objections. He had no choice but to lower his head and say, “Yes, I understand.”

After that, Jaden turned and left, his steps unsteady.

Paige watched his retreating figure and smiled.

Enrico picked up a skewer, stuck it into an apple slice, and said in a low voice, “Rafael and I are not on good terms right now. If he knows he’s been troubled, he won’t dare to come after me. He’ll take it out on Jaden instead.”

Then, Jaden would retaliate, Rafael would counterattack, and the two would keep causing each other problems, making both uneasy.

“They teamed up to abandon you abroad and locked me up in Gangnam Hall. I can’t stand their close relationship. This way, you won’t even need to go looking for trouble with Rafael yourself.”

Paige smiled slightly.

This way is better. She didn’t have to do anything and could still make trouble for the two of them.

“No wonder you’re my woman,” Enrico said, feeding her an apple slice. “You’re devious enough.”

“…”

She had to live in this manor from now on, destined to see the same scenery and meet the same people for the rest of her life. Wasn’t she allowed to take it out on Jaden and Rafael?

Although she understood that each of them had their own stance.

“Don’t you hate them?” Enrico asked.

Paige took the apple he fed her into her mouth and shook her head. “I know they did it for you.”

Actually, it’s good that he has people willing to do anything for him.

Hearing this, Enrico’s expression darkened. “Do I want them to kill you for me?”

What a joke.

Paige looked into his dark eyes and said, “Before you came back, I also thought I was someone who could be abandoned.”

Even she hadn’t thought he would risk his life to rush back and save her. How could outsiders like Rafael and Jaden have anticipated it?

“That’s impossible,” Enrico chuckled softly, then looked at her deeply. His eyes hid turbulent emotions as he whispered, “Do you believe me? Even if I could give up my life, I could never give you up.”

As he spoke, he grabbed her hand and took the grape she had just speared.

The weight of his words was heavy, so heavy that Paige felt like a thousand pounds were suddenly placed on her shoulders.

“Enrico, I haven’t done much for you.”

Looking back now, Paige realized that it had always been him making sacrifices for her.

“You don’t have to do anything. Just stay in front of me,” Enrico replied without hesitation.

That was his possessiveness toward her, unwavering and unchanging.

“I’ll be living here from now on, so you’ll be able to see me whenever you want.”

She had decided to follow his wishes.

“Yes.”

Enrico leaned back, a relaxed and lazy expression on his face, with a slightly wicked smile on his lips.

Paige sat opposite him, listening to the rain and eating fruit. The plate of fruit was quickly emptied.

Only one slice of apple was left on the plate.

Paige stuck it with a skewer, intending to feed it to him. But when she looked up, she saw Enrico gazing out the window.

She followed his gaze. Outside, the rain had intensified, forming small puddles on the ground that splashed up mist among the green trees and exotic flowers. The road was slick and reflective under the rain.

“If you pushed me, I could do anything for you. I could even take the knife I handed to you and stab myself with it, plunging this country back into the chaos of a hundred years ago.”

Enrico’s deep, narrow eyes watched the rain as he spoke in a low voice. “But you gave up the slums, gave up your freedom, just to be my woman. I’m truly happy.”

“…”

Paige silently looked at him.

Enrico withdrew his gaze and looked at her. His eyes, tinged with a hint of blood, were deep but seemed to dance with childlike excitement. “Paige, I’ve never been this happy in my life.”

Was she really that important?

It seemed her decision had been the right one.

Paige smiled, her eyes shining like stars, and handed him the apple. “As long as you’re happy.”

Enrico lowered his head and took a bite, his long fingers wrapping around her slender wrist, which was still bandaged. He could feel the electronic bracelet underneath. “When you’re feeling better, I’ll borrow someone from Rafael to remove this bracelet. Then you’ll have nothing to do with the slums anymore.”

Nothing to do with the slums anymore.

Paige heard this and her gaze faltered, but she still smiled and nodded at him.

…

Compared to the long, confined days in Gangnam Hall, Paige’s recovery in the manor felt like being on cloud nine. It was extremely comfortable.

She had good food, good drinks, and everyone greeted her with smiles.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The scenery of the manor was no less beautiful than any tourist spot. On sunny days, the view was magnificent; on rainy days, it was graceful and elegant. The mountains and waters were both picturesque.

The warm sunlight bathed the entire manor. Paige sat at the door, drawing. As she worked, a dog’s whimpering reached her ears. Little Dolphin was circling around Paige, its black eyes looking at her pitifully, as if asking for help.

Then came Olivia’s voice, scolding the dog.

“You stupid dog, you’ve eaten all kinds of good food, and you still go after mice!”

Olivia rushed over, grabbed Little Dolphin, and gave it two light smacks on the rear.

Little Dolphin whimpered pitifully.

“Alright, it knows it was wrong,” Paige said with a smile.

Olivia didn’t have the heart to hit it hard. After two light smacks, she put it down, and the little one immediately jumped into Paige’s lap, curling up into a ball.

Olivia stood nearby, fuming. “Miss, don’t keep protecting it. We clean this huge manor every day, and somehow a mouse got in, and this little one found it. Really, what’s so good about a mouse that can only live in dark corners, never daring to see the sunlight?”
