It’s fine if it’s just anyone else, but Casey was raised from childhood as the successor, and his martial arts skills are better than a bodyguard’s, but in the end, he couldn’t even last ten rounds in front of Paige.
“Disobedient, all three of you, disobedient!”
Brangelina walked in front of the three siblings in an elderly manner, angrily kicking them, then turned her head and walked towards Paige, smiling and offering the water in her hand, which had long since gone cold, “You must be tired from hitting people, drink some water.”
“Auntie, whose side are you on” Casey couldn’t hold back her temper any longer, even though she was sitting there.
Did Auntie forget that there was also a rope tied around her wrist, and she was still asking Paige to drink
“Hmph!” Brangelina glared at them, then turned to Paige, beaming with joy, “Blanca, ignore these little brats, drink your water.”
“…”
Paige took her glass of water, looked at her, then at Casey and the others, her mood was mixed.
She thought she had already gained leverage by capturing Brangelina, but she had not expected to capture three more of the younger members of the Folsom family.
Life’s arrangements are truly amazing.
“Little sister, why are you looking at us like that”
Kelsey was only 18 years old, timid, wrapped up like a bear, and her eyes were weak.
Paige stood there raising an eyebrow, “How do I look at you”
“The way you look at us is like you’re assessing how much our flesh is worth,” Kelsey’s eyes were filled with fear and her voice was hoarse.
“…”
Paige was silent.
I really don’t know whether to praise these young members of the Folsom family. They are quite calm after being captured by their enemies and have not begged for mercy.
“You have captured us only to ask the Folsom family for a letter of surrender. I am the son of Beinice and the future successor of the Folsom family. You can just capture me and release everyone else. It is inconvenient for you to drag so many people along,” said Casey, with his hands tied behind his back, still with his back straight, looking coldly at Paige.
Upon hearing this, Eduardo, who was sitting next to him, became anxious and hurriedly said, “No, I’m Casey, I’m Beinice’s son, you arrest me! Release them!”
Seeing this, Kelsey also hurriedly said, “Little sister, don’t listen to what they’re saying, the old man loves me the most, it’ll be useful if you arrest me.”
Paige stood in front of them, surveying them without saying a word.
Brangelina rushed over at this time, grabbed Eduardo’s ear with her bound hands, and looked at Paige and said, “Don’t listen to him, he’s Eduardo, that’s Casey, Casey is more important, you have to catch him.”
The three siblings looked at Brangelina at the same time, all of them looking as if they had been struck by lightning.
Auntie, can you betray more completely
“…”
Paige was silent.
What kind of strange family is this
Is she really here to negotiate a deal that could potentially affect the fate of Country A and the life and death of Enrico
She looked at Brangelina beside her and said, “Keep an eye on them for me. If they try to run, just call out to me.”
“Okay!” Brangelina agreed immediately, her eyes glowing with a deep sense of pride at having been given a mission.
Paige then got into the RV, which was monitored by surveillance cameras.
She watched the feed, and if Brangelina pretended to be crazy, she would have to unite everyone to escape or fight back.
But in fact, Brangelina was looking at everyone very seriously. If anyone moved even slightly, she would go up and give them a vicious kick, ordering them not to try to run away.
For a second, Paige wondered if Brangelina was an undercover agent planted by the Folsom family.
After watching for a while, Paige took her eyes off the screen and opened the smart panel next to her to check the situation in Country A. It wasn’t good to look away, but as soon as she looked again, she realized that the road, sea and air closures in The Capital had continued until today.
It’s been three days!
How could this happen
Paige’s eyes flashed, and her fingers kept swiping the screen to check the major news. The comments had exploded under the news.
The public’s discontent and complaints had reached a climax.
They could not accept this prolonged traffic blockade. No matter what major fugitives the authorities wanted to catch, they should not affect everyone’s travel. This was a kind of inaction. The people in power in The Capital, the presidential palace, were a bunch of lazybones…
In less than three days, the President’s website was full of boycott comments.
Demonstrations and riots followed, and the Folsom family must have been involved.
Someone set up a website specifically to let people sign in, and signing in meant that they would never give their vote to Rafael.
Rafael was being cursed at the whole time.
Many people only know to blame him, not knowing that it was Enrico, a major domestic tycoon, who blocked the traffic.
How could Enrico…
Did he not know what she meant by Temple in Heaven No, he couldn’t have not understood her.
He could just pretend and find her again. Why make such a big deal out of it Wasn’t this just falling into the Folsom family’s trap
Paige couldn’t guess what Enrico was thinking.
She glanced at the surveillance screen at the Folsom family. She now had a trump card in her hand, so she didn’t need to be as cautious as before.
With that in mind, Paige took a deep breath, picked up her phone and dialed a number she knew by heart.
…
In Country A, the towering Gustin Group stands in the center of The Capital, symbolizing the kingly status of an economic leader.
Rafael entered Enrico’s office through a secret passage. He had been sitting here all night, his gold-rimmed glasses in his hands, his face calm.
In front of him on the coffee table is a computer, which is constantly broadcasting messages from the butler. At one moment it says that there is a protest march somewhere, at another that there is a small riot, and at another that the latest speech has been cancelled for safety reasons…
Enrico sits at his desk, his legs folded and resting on the edge of the desk, the white shirt he is wearing creased.
He leaned back in his chair, playing with a red ribbon in his hands. His handsome face showed no expression, his dark eyes seemed to indicate that he hadn’t heard a word, despite the chaos outside because of him.
“Enrico, if you don’t lift the blockade, I’ll just keep sitting here, and you can forget about getting any rest.”
Rafael was also annoyed.
They had agreed to cooperate, but now he felt like he had been set up by his own people.
He was even more vulnerable when he went out now!
On hearing this, Enrico gave a low, mocking laugh, “It doesn’t matter. If you don’t sit here, I won’t rest either.”
He hadn’t slept for two consecutive nights.
Rafael looked up at him as he heard this, and saw a faint arc on the corner of Enrico’s thin lips, his eyes slow and relaxed, truly living up to the saying, “It doesn’t matter.”
It was just like this. Back when Enrico was playing with power, he had directly catapulted him to the position of president, obsessed with power and indifferent to everything else.
Now, there is only one person in his eyes, Paige. Even the supreme power he once had is something he can discard at any time.
With a person like this, Rafael doesn’t even know how to fight alongside him.
Rafael stood up and walked straight to Enrico’s desk, placing his hands on the surface and staring at him. “Tell me, what’s going on With your temperament, if Paige really does lose, you won’t be able to sit still, it won’t be as simple as just blocking the traffic.”
Hearing this, Enrico looked up and coldly looked at him.
“Enrico!”
Rafael yelled out in a low voice, “Over the years, no matter what happened, I have treated you as a brother and never thought of betraying you. Is it that I can’t even ask for an answer now”
“…”
“If you want to ruin me, you should at least let me know why!” Rafael glared at him.
