The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Chapter 45: You’re not getting away



“Cough.” Enrico choked on the strong liquor in his glass, his eyes growing even darker. “What did you say?”

“She’s sitting at the door, asleep.” The bodyguard felt like crying. How could she sleep at a time like this? Mr. Gustin was smashing tables and kicking chairs in anger, and she could still sleep peacefully. Truly heartless.

Enrico gritted his teeth in frustration. Asleep? She’s actually asleep? It seemed accepting this “gift” from her was of no consequence to her at all. He angrily smashed his glass onto the ground.

“Bang!” The liquid splattered everywhere, the glass shattering into pieces.

After smashing the glass, Enrico turned and walked out into the heavy rain.

Paige was sound asleep at the door. Suddenly, she felt a shadow looming over her and woke up instantly.

She saw Enrico standing in front of her, glaring at her with such hostility, as if she had committed some unforgivable sin.

“You seem quite at ease! Still able to sleep!” Enrico almost growled, lifting his leg to kick her.

Paige sat at the door, her first instinct to dodge, but she restrained herself. She couldn’t hide. She just stared up at him expressionlessly, silently staring back.

His foot finally stopped in front of her.

Her hair fluttered in the wind.

Time seemed to stand still.

She looked up at him with her pure eyes, seeming dazed yet stubborn.

Enrico stared at her face, after a moment, he withdrew his foot, chuckling angrily. “Fine, fine!”

Paige didn’t understand what he meant.

“Go back to Rose Estate! Get out!” Enrico kicked the wall next to her and turned away.

The bodyguard quickly held an umbrella and caught up with him.

Soon, another bodyguard rushed over and escorted Paige back to Rose Estate.

That’s how Paige inexplicably came to a private estate and inexplicably got kicked out again…

After the visit to the private estate, Enrico never came to Rose Estate again.

According to Olivia, Paige had fallen out of favor. Paige herself felt nothing but relief; she wished Enrico would never come again.

While having a video call with Kevin in the study, Paige couldn’t help but hear him chuckle. “You’re so clever, managing to control all those difficult people in the slums. But now, your comeback has paved the way for your greatest enemy?”

“Have you had enough laughs?” Paige said coldly.

“Alright, no more laughs,” Kevin forced a serious tone. “So, what’s next? Enrico took Molly to the banquet. Everyone now thinks Molly is Enrico’s lover. Do you know how many corporations are backing Malik overnight? At this rate, Malik might just become president.”

“Furthermore, if Enrico really has feelings for Molly and she finds out about you, she might play the victim card. Your life might be in danger,” Kevin said seriously. “So, why don’t you flee while Enrico isn’t bothering you? I’ll protect you. Survival is more important than revenge.”

“I can’t just leave,” Paige replied without hesitation. Retreat was never an option for her.

“Molly has Enrico now. How can you compete with that?” Kevin frowned.

“No one can block my path, not even Enrico,” Paige insisted.

“Paige…” Kevin sighed in resignation.

“Besides, Molly attaching herself to Enrico might not be a good thing for her,” Paige explained clearly.

“How’s that not good?” Kevin finally understood.

“Enrico is ruthless and will do whatever it takes. He’s made enemies, and there are plenty who would find it easy to target Molly,” Paige explained, recalling the female assassin she had seen targeting Enrico.

“Now I get it,” Kevin nodded. “If Enrico doesn’t use his full power to protect her, she’s vulnerable.”

“Forget about that. Have you completed the investments I asked you to make?” Paige got back to business. Being undocumented, she couldn’t invest under her own name, relying on Kevin.

“I’ve bought the shops and stocks you wanted. You’re a billionaire now,” Kevin replied.

“A billion isn’t enough. I’ll need more money in the future,” Paige said firmly. “You handle the investments for me, keep an eye on the Clarkes. I’ll handle the rest.”

With that said, Paige didn’t give Kevin a chance to respond and hung up the call.

Paige closed her laptop, and footsteps approached from outside. Her eyes flickered as she swiftly moved to the window, staring blankly outside.

“Miss, there you are,” Susan stood at the door, sighing as she looked at Paige inside.

“Miss, you keep looking outside like you’re waiting for Mr. Gustin.” Olivia remarked.

Paige remained silent. She wasn’t actually waiting for Enrico, but she couldn’t explain herself.

“Why don’t we take Miss out for a stroll?” Susan suggested.

Olivia thought for a moment and nodded. “Yeah, that’s a good idea. Getting out might lift her spirits.”

And so, Paige was dragged out of Rose Estate by the two maids.

This was the first time Paige ventured out as “mentally ill.”

Olivia and Susan didn’t have anywhere special to go, so they took her to the supermarket.

After leaving the supermarket, the two maids had their hands full with bags. Being older, they struggled a bit with the weight.

Watching them, Paige quietly stepped forward and helped them carry two large bags.

The maids were deeply touched. “Miss, you’re so kind.”

As they walked a bit further, two women in jewelry store uniforms passed by, excitedly chatting.

“Is that really Molly? Oh my god, if she’s here, will Enrico come? I’ve never seen Enrico before; he’s so handsome.”

“I rushed back to work as soon as I heard. Molly’s so lucky, being Enrico’s girlfriend.”

Paige looked up and saw the two rushing into a luxurious jewelry store nearby.

She stopped in her tracks and glanced inside. Molly was sitting with a group of female friends, including the likes of Nancy from the birthday banquet.

Once Molly attached herself to Enrico, these hangers-on returned.

“Molly, you’re so lucky. One phone call and Enrico agreed to pay your bill,” Nancy eagerly flattered.

Molly smiled coyly. “It’s nothing. He said that even if I want stars, he’ll pick them for me.”

Paige stood there, feeling disgusting. She couldn’t imagine how someone as capricious as Enrico could say such a thing.

Unfortunately, Molly’s friends were all buying it, exclaiming in admiration. Actually, Molly was outwardly confident but inwardly uneasy. In reality, Enrico had no intention of buying jewelry for her, and he barely acknowledged her privately despite publicly acknowledging her as his companion at the banquet.

But now, everyone thought she was Enrico’s woman. She couldn’t afford to lose face. No matter how much jewelry she bought, it would all be credited to Enrico. This would benefit her, the Clarkes, immensely.

Paige was watching as they walked out of the store with several exquisite jewelry bags. Molly suddenly turned her head and their eyes met.

The smile faded from Molly’s face instantly.

Paige stood there, holding two bags of groceries, looking calmly at her.

Nancy followed Molly’s gaze and, upon seeing Paige, immediately flared up. “Well, Miss Lautner?”

“What are you doing? Back off, you’ve got the wrong person!” Olivia stepped in front of Paige and pushed Nancy away.

Nancy stumbled back, then rushed forward to hit Olivia. “You dare hit me, are you crazy?”

Paige casually tripped Nancy with her foot, causing her to cry out in pain as she fell hard.

Olivia, unaware of what had just happened, said defensively, “I didn’t touch her!”

Molly, however, saw everything clearly. She handed her bags to her friends and arrogantly approached Paige, sneering, “This time, you’re not getting away.”

She pulled out her phone and started calling Malik, determined not to let Paige escape again, regardless of the Lautner family’s influence behind her-she had Enrico on her side!

Paige chuckled coldly. She was leaving, and no one could stop her.

As she turned to walk away, she heard the sound of a speeding car approaching on the road.

Immediately followed by screeching brakes.

Several black SUVs abruptly stopped by the roadside.

A group of hooded figures emerged from the vehicles, each armed with guns-some with assault rifles, some with rifles.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
