The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

It seemed that being around her for so long had made it difficult for her to escape his grasp. He needed to refocus on the conglomerate.

“Understood,” Enrico said, glancing coldly at Dr. Farrar before standing up and walking out.

Dr. Farrar hurriedly stood up to see him off, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Suddenly, Enrico turned back, his gaze chilling as he looked at him. “What if she really wants to leave one day?”

Dr. Farrar froze, forcing a smile. “Women, even if they say they want to leave, usually don’t mean it. But men should coax them more. Once isn’t enough, try twice, twice isn’t enough, try three times.”

All fake? Just need to coax her? Fine, then I’ll coax her until she can’t walk away.

Enrico stepped out.

Dr. Farrar immediately gripped the edge of the table, his legs going weak.

“Dr. Farrar,” Jaden entered the room.

Dr. Farrar, startled, straightened up immediately. Seeing it was Jaden, he slumped back into his chair. “It’s you.”

“What’s wrong with you?” Jaden asked, puzzled.

“Today is the first time Mr. Gustin came here voluntarily, and the questions he asked were too difficult to answer. I wasn’t prepared at all,” Dr. Farrar said, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

Jaden walked up to his desk, his expression serious. “Is Mr. Gustin okay?”

For a long time, Jaden had been arranging Enrico’s checkups. This was the first time Enrico suddenly had his driver bring him here.

Hearing this, Dr. Farrar’s expression darkened. “For now, there’s nothing wrong. But that girl we saw at the hotel… she seems to have captured Mr. Gustin’s heart.”

Jaden nodded.

More than just captured his heart-she’s like she’s growing in it.

Dr. Farrar’s expression turned complicated. “Keep a close eye on her. I have a feeling…”

“What feeling?”

“If she goes missing, Mr. Gustin will be in big trouble.”

Jaden’s breath caught, a flicker of unease in his eyes.

Soon, the school holidays began.

Paige arranged for the Peak Club members to go to their respective fields, leaving herself with some free time.

There was no news yet from the Public Law Council. With Enrico recovering from his injuries and returning to work, Paige took advantage of this break to frequently return to the school library, continuing to immerse herself in legal studies.

To join the Public Law Council, she wouldn’t leave anything to chance.

In front of the tall bookshelves, Paige was selecting books. The sunlight outside fell on her, casting beautiful, wing-like shadows that shimmered brilliantly.

She wore earphones, speaking on the phone with someone. Olivia’s excited voice came through the headset.

“Miss, young master is really good to you. The candy house has been refurbished, and now it’s filled with all your favorite sweets. It’s like a candy museum.”

“Is that so?”Paige responded nonchalantly.

The day she returned from the presidential mansion, Enrico had suddenly become unusually agitated.

Before she could figure out what was wrong with him, the next day he was back to normal, becoming even more… cosset towards her.

She liked sweets, so Enrico turned a room into a candy house.

She had an interest in cars, so he bought a plot of land near Rose Estate to make a parking lot, displaying all the cars he had previously given her.

And there were many more.

“Miss, aren’t you happy?”Olivia noticed the indifference in Paige’s tone.

“Not really.”

Paige lowered her eyes. Enrico’s behavior now was like taking care of a little bird without any boundaries-giving it food, clothes, anything it wanted, making the bird so comfortable that its wings softened, unable to fly anymore.

But she was Paige.

She remained clear-headed, knowing exactly what she wanted.

After hanging up the phone with Olivia, her phone vibrated again. Paige, standing in front of the bookshelf, holding a book in one hand, pulled out her phone with the other to check.

It was a message from Enrico.

There was a very short video.

It showed a pair of earrings shaped like stars. The special feature was that when a slender hand shook the jewelry box, the diamonds inside the stars would start to flow, stunningly beautiful.

One could imagine how breathtaking they would look when worn.

Below the video was a message.

“I saw this at the auction and got it for you.”

How much did this cost? Paige bit her lip, wondering, when a news alert popped up.

“Flowing Star” earrings, the last work of the royal designer of Country C, sold for a high price of 80 million to a mysterious collector.

One glance at the picture confirmed it.

Alright, now she knew the price.

After the bag room and candy house, Rose Estate would soon have a jewelry room.

Paige sent back a “Thank you.”

She didn’t really want it, but she couldn’t say no to Enrico.

Soon, Enrico sent another message.

“I have to attend two more meetings tonight, so I won’t be able to return to Rose Estate. Come have dinner with me.”

Actually, there was no need to have dinner together even if he was busy.

As dusk fell, Paige drove to the Gustin Group’s headquarters, but she parked outside in the lot, waiting in her car for Enrico.

While waiting, Paige unwrapped a mint candy and popped it into her mouth, then picked up a thick law book to continue reading.

The sunset hues slowly turned red, spreading across the sky like randomly smeared paint.

Her eyes grew tired.

Paige put down the book and turned her gaze outside. In the distance, she saw Enrico coming into view.

Dressed in a suit, he exuded a commanding presence.

Jaden and the bodyguards followed behind him.

As he approached, Paige was about to open the car door and step out when a graceful figure suddenly stepped out of a car in front of her.

The woman wore a flowing white and green dress, like a beautiful feather, floating toward Enrico.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

It was none other than Rachel, whom Paige hadn’t seen in a while.

Paige was a bit surprised. It seemed Rachel had survived.

Rachel clutched her chest and walked up to Enrico, blocking his path with a fragile smile on her face. “Enrico, long time no see.”

Enrico stopped, his deep gaze falling on her, a trace of surprise flashing by. “You’re not dead?”

Rachel stood there, stunned.

“Heh.”

This exchange was too amusing-Paige couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Both Enrico and Rachel looked toward her, and she realized she hadn’t closed her car window.

Enrico looked at her, his dark eyes locking onto hers intently.

Rachel looked at her, her face turning extremely pale, hatred and jealousy flashing in her eyes.

But Rachel quickly smiled. “So Enrico had an appointment with Joss. I guess my timing is off. I’ll leave now.”

She said this, but her eyes remained full of expectation as she looked at Enrico.

Enrico didn’t even glance at her. He simply walked straight to Paige.

“Cough, cough-”

Rachel clutched her chest, coughing, looking as if she might collapse in the wind.

How could he do this?

Jaden stepped forward to support her. “Miss Rachel, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Rachel weakly shook her head. “I shouldn’t have ignored the doctor’s orders. My wounds haven’t fully healed, but I came out anyway.”

As she spoke, her eyes stayed on Enrico’s back.

Did he forget that she ended up in the ICU for him, nearly losing her life?

She had risked her life to get closer to him, and now he could ignore her like this.

Enrico suddenly froze, and Rachel’s heart leapt. Was he turning back?
