The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Jaden stood on the balcony, trying to calm down, but he couldn’t shake the shocking image from his mind.

Enrico… eating a squeeze jelly?

Footsteps sounded behind him. Jaden turned around and saw Enrico walking out, heading toward him. Enrico didn’t acknowledge Jaden and instead placed his hands on the balcony railing, gazing down at the new Rose Estate. It was much larger than the Rose Estate he had lived in, with all the amenities one could imagine. From this vantage point, the lights scattered across the estate illuminated the night, creating a breathtaking view.

In the distance, a security patrol passed by. Paige was standing there, seemingly giving them instructions, and the group bowed their heads in deep respect.

The new Rose Estate was hers, and it seemed… she really wasn’t lacking in money.

Enrico watched her, suddenly recalling how earlier today, she had knelt before him, calmly declaring that he was her man. She had said it as naturally as if she were talking about eating or drinking water. With his current memory, he could call her “Auntie,” so how could she say that with a straight face?

Enrico pursed his lips, remembering the look in Paige’s eyes at that moment-gentle, clear, and determined. Her skin was so flawless it seemed like it had been bathed in milk, definitely not like that of an “Auntie.”

Actually, if what she said was true…

Then his later choices weren’t all that bad.

What was he thinking?

Enrico frowned, feeling a bit annoyed. Maybe it was because she was the first person he saw after waking up that he was so influenced by her words.

Jaden, standing nearby, observed Enrico’s face fluctuating between expressions of irritation and relaxation. His lips would occasionally press together in displeasure, and his brows would furrow, indicating that he was quite agitated.

This version of Enrico was very familiar to Jaden; it brought back memories of the overwhelming pressure that used to accompany working at the Gustin Group. Whenever Enrico was in a bad mood, Jaden’s days would be tough.

Without thinking, Jaden pulled out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to Enrico. “Boss, want one?”

“…”

Enrico turned to look at the cigarette pack, then back at Jaden as if he were looking at an idiot.

Jaden suddenly realized his mistake, smacked himself on the forehead, and quickly put the cigarette pack away. “Sorry, Boss, I forgot-you don’t smoke anymore.”

Now he eats squeeze jelly.

Enrico turned his gaze back.

Jaden, feeling regretful, suddenly heard Enrico ask, “What kind of person is she?”

Jaden followed Enrico’s line of sight, which was directed at Paige, who was still giving instructions to the security team. Looking at her, Jaden couldn’t help but think back to the massive fire three years ago.

“Miss Paige is someone who acts decisively, but what I admire about her isn’t her ability; it’s the fact that she’s never given up on her beliefs… Actually, that’s not true. She did give up once.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jaden glanced at Enrico with a complicated expression.

It was because of you, Boss. During that time at the estate, Paige was genuinely willing to be a small, caged bird.

“What belief?” Enrico asked, looking at him.

“Boss, are you curious about her?” Jaden countered.

“I need to understand what kind of person she is,” Enrico replied. His deep, mature voice made his question sound far from childish and quite convincing.

“She’s someone who will be good to you,” Jaden said, “but with her charging into The Capital like this, I’m not sure if she’ll stir up another chaotic situation.”

Even though the people at the new Rose Estate were skilled in martial arts, there were only a few of them. How could they handle any serious threat? With Paige returning and bringing Enrico along, Jaden didn’t know how long they could maintain peace.

“Enrico.”

Paige walked over, having finished her conversation with the security team, and gave Enrico a casual glance. “It’s late. Time to take your herbal medicine and go to bed.”

“…”

Enrico frowned slightly at the mention of herbal medicine, but since he had agreed to stay by her side for three months, he could only follow her obediently.

He was a man of his word; once he made a promise, he wouldn’t go back on it.

Paige was about to follow him inside when Jaden approached her. “Miss, will this treatment with the golden bees have any side effects other than memory loss?”

Paige stopped, looking at him with some confusion.

“When he was younger, the Boss didn’t seem to like squeeze jelly. I remember offering it to him, and he always said he didn’t like it.”

But now, the Boss was eating it with such satisfaction-what was going on? Losing one’s memory wasn’t scary; losing one’s personality was.

Hearing this, Paige didn’t seem concerned. She said calmly, “When you offered it to him, he felt he had to return the favor.”

“…”

Jaden was puzzled, but soon he understood.

When Jaden offered food, the Boss felt obligated to reciprocate, but back then, he didn’t have the money to treat Jaden. So, the Boss refrained from eating snacks-not because he didn’t like them, but because the young master of the Gustin family’s villa had no money. Now that he knew he owned a conglomerate, he dared to indulge.

Jaden felt a pang of guilt. “I can’t believe I never realized this all these years.”

“It’s not your fault. Everyone goes through this-things you crave desperately as a child, when you finally have the means to obtain them as an adult, no longer hold the same allure, and you no longer seek them out.”

This was why, in Jaden’s memory, Enrico had never eaten squeeze jelly. It was a kind of regret one experiences in life. Paige thought it was a good thing that Enrico, despite losing a significant chunk of his memory, was able to fill that void.

Jaden nodded, “Squeeze jelly is good. Squeeze jelly is good.”

He didn’t know what else to say; he just felt sad.

He had been by Enrico’s side for so many years but had never paid attention to such details.

“Mm.” Paige lifted her foot and walked ahead.

Jaden noticed that Paige was heading toward the room Enrico had just entered. He was so shocked that he hurried to stop her. “Miss, Miss, this won’t do.”

“…”

Paige looked at him with some annoyance.

“Well…”

Facing Paige’s gaze, Jaden awkwardly rubbed his nose. “Miss, the Boss now has the mind of a nine-year-old, like a child. Don’t you think…”

“What are you trying to say?” Paige found his hesitant behavior strange.

Did he really have to say it so plainly?

Jaden steeled himself and said, “Please, Miss, don’t sleep in the same room as the Boss for now.”

The Boss had only just regained a semblance of normalcy. It wouldn’t be good to leave him with another psychological scar.

Upon hearing this, Paige understood. “You think I’m going to force him into bed?”

Was that really how Jaden saw her?

Paige’s words left Jaden stunned and slightly flushed. “I… well, I know we can’t treat the Boss like a child now, but I’m just worried he… might not handle it well…”

“I know my limits,” Paige replied, somewhat exasperated. “You should rest early too. You can’t stay here forever. Go back to the Gustin Group tomorrow. I’ll call you if I need anything.”

“Yes, Miss.” Jaden nodded, only realizing afterward that he wasn’t actually her subordinate.
