The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Paige said, “And what about Rachel? Has Jaden found her yet? Since it’s impossible for her to have left the country, there might be another reason she’s staying behind.”

It’s strange. How could Enrico’s extensive network fail to find Rachel after nearly two weeks?

Rachel grew up sheltered in the Gustin family’s villa and has always been frail. How could she survive on the run alone? Or is someone secretly aiding her?

Olivia, walking beside Paige, looked puzzled by the string of questions. “I don’t know any of that.”

Maybe it’s because she’s been at ease for too many days, but Paige suddenly realized that Rachel’s disappearance could have dire consequences.

Rachel has never been simple.

Paige bit her finger. “Olivia, give me the laptop. I need to check the news online.”

She hadn’t paid attention to the outside world recently, feeling that her life had been split in two. The life she’s living now was given by Enrico, so she could only live as he wished.

But just because she wasn’t paying attention doesn’t mean the past is over.

“Alright,” Olivia nodded.

Paige sat in the living room with the laptop on her lap, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she searched the news.

It turned out that the heat surrounding the slum hadn’t subsided since her “death.” The news was filled with deliberately misleading headlines, portraying the slum as a breeding ground for crime and fueling hatred within the country…

As Paige read the headlines, her delicate fingers slowly clenched into a fist.

These tycoons were outraged that someone from the slum had managed to infiltrate the Public Law Council, and they were now crazily defaming the slum, directly labeling it as a crime den.

From now on, it would be even harder for the organization to operate.

Or maybe, it would never succeed.

Paige looked at the news and then searched for news about the Gustin Group conglomerate. Everything seemed normal.

Could it be that she was overthinking? Was Enrico just bored and went out for a walk, and wasn’t hiding anything from her?

“Miss,” Olivia entered from outside and stood before Paige.

Paige looked up to see Olivia holding another postcard, once again from Kevin.

But this time, Olivia added, “Miss, that gentleman said he wants to meet you. He has something important to discuss.”

“I don’t want to see him,” Paige replied.

“He looked very serious and said that you’d definitely want to hear his news,” Olivia said.

“…”

Coming to deliver news?

Paige thought for a moment, put down the laptop, and got up to go outside.

Outside the villa, deep in the bamboo grove, the waterfall on the mountainside cascaded down, the water splashing white, and the surrounding air was chillingly cool.

Kevin stood in front of a strangely shaped rock, impeccably dressed, his expression as serious as Olivia had described.

“You’re still here?” Paige walked over and addressed the man calmly.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kevin turned around, one leg moving stiffly. Seeing Paige, whose complexion had returned to normal compared to before, he sighed in relief, then furrowed his brows again. “If you don’t come with me, I won’t leave.”

Still not giving up.

“What message do you have for me?” she asked, her voice drowned out by the sound of the waterfall.

“My people have discovered that the situation in The Capital is a bit delicate,” Kevin said seriously.

“What do you mean?” Paige’s gaze grew cold.

“What I know is that several prominent families have sent relatives abroad, and some old families that had previously withdrawn from the power struggle have specifically left people in The Capital,” Kevin said.

Paige pursed her lips. “The old families sent people to understand the situation because of what happened to me. It’s not unusual for them to linger for a while.”

She said this, but her expression grew more serious, clearly indicating that she didn’t believe it herself.

Kevin could tell and didn’t argue, continuing, “Since news of your death spread, The Capital has been too quiet. None of the tycoons have pursued whether you’re truly dead. Instead, there are signs that someone has been frequently probing the Gustin family’s villa.”

Upon hearing this, Paige’s eyes widened, and her breathing became uneven. “Probing the Gustin family’s villa?”

“Yes,” Kevin nodded. “I suspect that the news of you being with Enrico has silently spread through every tycoon. They are plotting something big.”

“That’s impossible!” Paige instinctively denied.

“Are you sure? Besides Jeremy, does no one else know about your situation?” Kevin asked.

Of course not.

There’s also Rachel.

“It doesn’t make sense. Even if they learned the news, would they easily believe that Enrico has ties to the slum and that he would protect a slum woman?” Paige frowned.

After all, this is Enrico, the biggest tycoon in Country A.

Before he publicly stands up and admits he wants to protect her, who would dare to go against him? Conflicts among the tycoons are numerous; it’s not easy for them to unite.

Kevin stood there with his hands in his pockets and said, “Your analysis is correct, but the fear is that the person behind this might have the ability to persuade the tycoons to unite against Enrico.”

“…”

The person behind this… could it be Rachel?

Doesn’t she like Enrico? Could she now be willing to risk everything to protect herself?

Even if Rachel dared to risk everything for self-preservation, does she have the ability to pull off such an earth-shattering event?

The more Paige thought about it, the more she realized that from the moment she gave that speech, Rachel had been intricately involved. But now, there might be someone behind Rachel…

Is it Jeremy?

How could he accomplish this while being under house arrest?

One link leads to another. Molly was backed by Rachel, and Rachel might be backed by someone else… It’s never-ending.

“Have you received any news?” Kevin asked curiously.

Even without an intelligence organization, could Enrico and Rafael really be unaware of any developments?

“It’s my fault.” Paige clearly understood her mistake.

These days, she and Enrico had been recovering, and she had kept Jaden and Rafael busy fighting each other. If those at the top were careless, how could those below easily detect such subtle issues?

“Paige, if all the tycoons are really preparing to go against Enrico for their common interests, then don’t even think about protecting you. He himself will suffer harsh consequences, and who knows what the outcome will be?”

Kevin looked at her. “If you stay, you will only bring trouble to Enrico.”

“…”

Paige’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, colder than the water of the mountain waterfall.

Kevin was taken aback by her look and couldn’t help but say, “You don’t think I’m giving you false information just to make you leave, do you?”

He would never do such a thing.

“No.”

Paige stood on the damp grass, her hand clenched at her side. Her fair face, with its innocent features, was now etched with a coldness like snow. “I just didn’t expect that even after I gave up those plans, they still wouldn’t stop!”

If she really wanted to cause trouble, the country would have been in chaos long ago.

She had already decided to live as a dead person, yet these tycoons still wouldn’t let her go!
