She had planned everything, but was taught a lesson by the harsh situation and climate in the mountains.
Her motorcycle…
With such a loud noise, it is estimated that the Folsom family has also noticed. At this time, it is impossible for her to move the motorcycle from inside, let alone cross the road in front of her and strut into the sight of the Folsom family.
She can only follow the original plan and take this trail.
But she hadn’t gone this far before, and she had no idea what was further in. She could barely ride a motorcycle, but she could ride it around the mountain wall, and she could force her way out. Now…
She only had two legs left.
No, one.
And one foot was sprained.
“…”
Paige glanced at her foot, but didn’t hesitate for long before limping on deeper, defiance etched in her eyes.
She just couldn’t believe it. She had been so tough since childhood, and she was not going to die in the mountains.
…
The sky brightened, but the sun still did not come out.
Fine, dense snow kept falling on the Folsom family manor. The servants came out to shovel the snow, but soon it was white again.
In the well-heated hall, Blanca, who had come down from the mountain, sat under her family’s plaque, her cold hands holding the warm tea beside her.
It was only lukewarm, but she was so startled by the heat that her fingers curled up.
For a moment, Blanca was lost in thought before she picked up the teacup again and took a sip.
“Auntie!”
Casey strode in from outside, his face pale from the family punishment he had received the day before. He ignored his injuries and walked quickly up to Blanca, anxiously asking, “Auntie, I heard that Paige fell off a cliff?”
Blanca looked up at him indifferently and nodded.
“She’s just died?” Casey was full of shock, unable to accept it, and sat down on the chair next to him, his breathing a little unsteady.
He thought that girl was pretty awesome.
“I thought you didn’t like her,” Blanca set down her teacup.
“I wanted to kill her at first, but she let us go, and I just wanted to keep her for a few more days, so that my father’s plan in Country A would go more smoothly,” Casey said, frowning. He didn’t want that girl to die.
“Have you met Caroline? She picked Caroline’s tendons,” Blanca said.
“I have, but little aunt…”
Casey looked at her with a solemn expression, “All I’ve learned over the years is that revenge is the right path, but I’m also a grown-up. I can’t keep lying to myself. She’s not necessarily a damned villain, is she?”
Paige… is she really a villain?
She broke Caroline’s tendons, she went against the Folsom family, but she let more than twenty people from the Folsom family go despite being at a disadvantage.
“…”
Blanca looked at Casey in some surprise, not expecting even Casey to have a good impression of Paige.
What kind of special attraction did this girl have?
As the two were talking, they heard a shout coming from afar –
“Blanca, Blanca! I’m up! I want to play with you!”
“Auntie, she’s not here, don’t bother looking.”
Brangelina and Kelsey walked into the hall one after the other. Kelsey stopped Brangelina, who struggled desperately and glared at her, saying, “I made a date with Blanca to play together! I want to find her!”
“How about I play a game with you? What do you want to play?” Kelsey coaxed her.
Brangelina rolled her eyes and said, “Let’s play the Blanca finds Blanca game. I’ll make the call.”
Then, Brangelina put her hand in the shape of a telephone to her ear and pretended to cough twice.
Kelsey sighed helplessly. Her aunt was talking nonsense again.
She was about to speak when another old voice came from behind her
“Where is Paige?”
Everyone turned their heads and saw Beinice supporting Jasper as he walked through the side door, followed by many members of the Folsom family.
Jasper’s face looked terrible, and he looked at Blanca with a heavy gaze.
Beinice frantically winked at her sister, signaling for her to be careful.
“Father,”
Blanca stood up from her seat.
Jasper shook off Beinice’s hand and walked straight towards his youngest daughter, his face expressionless, “I asked you, where is Paige?”
“…” Blanca was silent.
On the road outside the main entrance, which had been covered in a thin layer of snow, a bodyguard hurried over, running into the hall with fine snowflakes falling from his coat. Everyone who knew the Folsom family was taken aback.
Jasper slowly turned to one side, acting like the head of the family, “Speak!”
One single word, spoken with authority.
It shook the entire hall into silence, even Brangelina fell silent.
The bodyguard looked at Blanca and said with his head bowed, “Sir, we searched the mountain base according to the location that Miss Blanca said, but we didn’t find any footprints. We only found bloodstains on the broken ice lake. The mouth of the ice lake is narrow and the water is deep. Coupled with the bad weather, the water is cold, so it’s very difficult to salvage.”
“…”
“I just came back to ask if we can give up. It’s impossible to salvage the body, and it’s easy to cause someone’s death if we send someone down again.”
Once this was said, the entire hall fell silent.
It was so quiet that there was a sense of suffocation.
Kelsey stood next to a bewildered Brangelina and listened, dumbfounded, and asked blankly, “What corpse? Whose corpse?”
Blanca listened, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Is it really dead?
Did it really just die?
“Blanca!” Jasper looked at his daughter in front of him with a hideous face, raised his hand and was about to hit her.
Blanca stood there, not moving, just looking at Jasper blankly.
Looking at his beloved youngest daughter, Jasper could not bring himself to strike her. Instead, he shouted, “Get down on your knees!”
“Yes,” Blanca obediently knelt down.
Jasper glared at her. The old man exuded a solemn air. “Did I not tell you not to kill her? Did you not hear me? Do you really think I have already passed on this position to you?”
Blanca’s knees touched the ground. Hearing this, her expression did not change, and she only said lightly, “I have never cared about any position. I only work for the Folsom family.”
“If you work for the Folsom family, you have to listen to me, not like this!”
Jasper’s face was extremely ugly. “From today onwards, you don’t have to go out to work, and you don’t have to worry about the Folsom family anymore!”
Upon hearing this, Blanca looked up at Jasper in shock.
Suddenly, she sneered, “Father, you want to punish me for an outsider? Why couldn’t Paige be killed? You said it before, whoever gets in the way of the Folsom family deserves to be killed. How can you even reverse your own words now? Are you senile?”
Beinice couldn’t believe Blanca dared to say such things, and immediately shouted, “Blanca!”
Jasper couldn’t believe it either. He looked down at his young daughter and didn’t say a word for a long time.
The people around them kept persuading Blanca.
“Did I say something wrong?”
Blanca looked at Jasper coldly, “I just don’t understand, what is so great about Paige that the Folsom family is making so many exceptions for her?”
