The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Paige ignored him and continued reading the magazine, while Enrico glanced at the time on his phone.

“I’ll go down,” Enrico suddenly decided, sitting up on the bed and heading out.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Paige watched him curiously; it was nearly dawn, where could he possibly be going? She set the magazine aside, rubbed her sore arm, and pulled the blanket over herself to sleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Enrico’s expression in the pool when he said he couldn’t bear to let her go came to her mind. At that moment, his eyes held only her, even after seeing the knife she had plunged into him, there was no hint of anger in his eyes…

The doorbell suddenly rang.

“Miss, boss asked me to bring some food.”

Paige looked at the variety of delicious dishes on the cart and was momentarily speechless. Wasn’t he trying to starve her?

Glancing outside, she asked, “Where is he?”

“Please enjoy your supper, Miss. If you need anything, you can call me,” Jaden replied, clearly avoiding the question.

“Oh,” Paige didn’t press further, pulled the cart inside, and closed the door.

The spread prepared by Jaden was exquisite, with both meat and vegetarian options, each dish more refined than those served at Michelin-starred restaurants.

Paige was indeed hungry, so she sat by the window and began to eat. Enrico still hadn’t returned.

She looked towards the direction of the bedroom door, eventually setting down the silver spoon in her hand and heading out.

After descending two floors, she was about to continue down when she heard a man’s angry shout, “Are you trying to blackmail me? I raised you, but you use a gun to force me out of the group, everyone knows you, Ungrateful bastard!”

It was Jeremy’s voice.

Paige stopped in her tracks, standing by the railing and looking down.

A crystal chandelier several meters long hung down, its light dazzling and eye-catching. Below it was the magnificent main hall.

Without guests or servants coming and going, there were only the Gustin family and two bodyguards.

Jeremy, Leah, and Rachel were all there. Enrico sat in the center of the sofa.

Paige stood above and could only see the top of his head, unable to see his face directly.

Leah stood up from the sofa and pulled Jeremy, “Jeremy, don’t be like this. Let’s talk this through calmly.”

“What can I talk to him about? I raised him for so many years, but he dared to come to my wedding anniversary banquet and embarrass me!” Jeremy’s voice sounded a bit drunk, probably from drinking too much at the banquet.

Enrico sat there without speaking, only turning the wine glass in his hand.

“Father, you’ve had too much to drink.”

Rachel coughed lightly and said, “Hey, don’t be upset. I’m actually glad you brought us together to talk. We haven’t had a family sit-down like this in a long time.”

“Who said we’re a family?”

Enrico scoffed coldly, stopped turning the wine glass, and looked up at Jeremy, “Jeremy, let me warn you again, no, warn all three of you, don’t think about touching my woman.”

Paige’s gaze froze. Did he call them down specifically because of her? They all knew about her. With so many people here tonight, Enrico hadn’t made it public. As long as this family didn’t make trouble, she was safe and free.

“From today onwards, if she was hurt, I don’t care if it’s you or not, I’ll hold you accountable.”

Enrico lowered the wine glass in his hand and slowly raised it again, “When the time comes, what I will do, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear.”

“What are you saying? What kind of look is that? I am your father!” Jeremy stood in front of him, shouting hysterically.

Paige stood upstairs and couldn’t see Enrico’s expression, but judging from Jeremy’s tone, she could guess that Enrico’s gaze must be terrifying.

Enrico didn’t care about him at all and turned and walked away.

Jeremy glared at his retreating figure, seething with anger, then suddenly he burst into laughter. “Hold me accountable? What can you possibly do? Dare you to kill me?”

Paige saw Enrico pause in his steps but continue walking forward.

Jaden approached, standing nearby. “Don’t leave! You haven’t paid me this month! I’m broke, I can’t even afford to play with women!” Jeremy demanded money.

“You’re dreaming,” Enrico snorted coldly.

“Jeremy, you’ve had too much to drink. Can we go back to our room?” Leah pleaded helplessly,

“Why are you afraid of him? He’s just a lunatic, like his mother!” Jeremy screamed hysterically, pointing at Enrico’s back. “I should have found a substitute to sleep with your mother and strangled you as soon as you were born!”

He insulted and humiliated, each word mentioning his deceased wife.

Paige frowned as she listened, and Enrico’s figure suddenly paused. He turned around abruptly, pulling a pistol from a nearby bodyguard’s waist, stepping forward, the black muzzle pointing directly at Jeremy’s head.

“Don’t think I won’t dare to kill you!” Enrico growled lowly, his face contorted with extreme displeasure.

“Enrico…” Leah stood nearby, trembling with fear.

Rachel sat on the sofa, coughing violently, watching Enrico’s sudden rage in terror, unsure of what he might do next.

“Go ahead, kill me. Go ahead,” Jeremy stood there unconcerned, continuing to provoke. “I’m going to tell you clearly today. I slept with your mother for over a decade. Your mother was so boring in bed, I had to force myself every time…”

Enrico’s finger released the safety on the gun, pressing it firmly against Jeremy’s head.

Leah and Rachel covered their mouths in fear.

Paige watched from upstairs, never having heard Enrico shout at someone like this before.

Just as she thought Enrico was about to shoot, Jaden’s deep voice sounded next to her, “Boss won’t shoot.”

“Why?” Paige asked. In fact, she’d always found it strange how Enrico could keep a man who treated his mother and sister so badly, and even Leah, the mistress, he didn’t deal with her.

“Madam has AS schizophrenia and she left a will.” Jaden said, “In the will, she made it clear that Miss. Gustin and boss, no matter what happened, could not harm the family.”

“She also explicitly pointed out that the family refers to all the Gustins, including the master and his new wife. So, no matter what happens, boss can’t violate his mother’s wishes.”

Sure enough, downstairs, Enrico’s gun has been raised for a long time, and finally, he put it down. The moment he put down his hand, even his shoulders slumped, and he was no longer the all-powerful man.

Paige pursed her lips tightly. Jaden continued, “Last year, when boss forced the master to step down, the master was genuinely afraid. But later, he knew that boss had been honoring Madam’s will, so he started to act recklessly and kept provoking boss.”

Paige remained silent, watching. How could such a nasty man be called a father?

Jeremy’s mocking voice rang out again, “Coward! I know you won’t dare. Even if I call your mother a whore, you won’t shoot. Just like your mother and your sister, you’re all useless!”

Enrico stood there, gripping the gun tightly in his hand.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Three consecutive shots.
