The Folsom family members were on guard, their fingers on the triggers, ready to pull at any moment.
Enrico walked in step by step, holding the gun.
“Mr. Gustin.”
Jasper’s old, skinny hand pressed against the armrest of the chair, and he stood up from his seat, straightening his back. “Paige’s accident is because I didn’t take care of her well enough. I will give you an explanation, but this has nothing to do with the rest of the Folsom family. The Folsom family and The Gustin family’s villa can’t go to the same end, do you agree?”
The atmosphere in the hall began to become tense.
If anyone fires a shot, the situation will get out of hand.
Enrico pointed his gun at Jasper, stepping closer with his legs almost pointing directly at Jasper’s head.
“Mr. Gustin!” Beince exclaimed, her hand holding the gun trembling.
“Not taking care of her? Is this not taking care of things?”
Enrico stared at Jasper with a sinister expression, his hand holding the gun bulging with veins, “Where is my person? Where is she?”
“Enrico, Paige fell right in front of my eyes. If you have any problems, come at me.” Blanca, who was standing with her hands tied behind her back, stared coldly at the gun in his hand.
“I’m looking for you!” Enrico suddenly turned his eyes, the muzzle of the gun pointed straight at her, his voice extremely sinister, “How did you push her off?”
“…”
Blanca was silent.
“Speak!” Enrico had completely lost his patience.
Everyone in the room was very nervous, feeling that the man was about to shoot the next second.
Blanca stood there, facing the black muzzle in Enrico’s hand. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke, “I recruited her to work for the Folsom family. She frequently provoked me with her words, so I lost my temper and pushed her.”
“Words? What words?”
Enrico pursued, determined to get a clear answer.
“…”
This time, Blanca was unwilling to say anything, “I pushed her down, I admit it.”
“Bang!”
Enrico shot a gun directly at the ground by her feet, and quickly pressed the muzzle against her head. His face was ashen, and a murderous intent was floating in his eyes. “Speak! What did she tell you on the mountain!”
The room was in panic, not knowing whether to shoot or not.
“…”
Blanca still had a cold face.
There were some things she would rather die than repeat.
“Mr. Gustin, what are you doing?”
Jasper could no longer remain calm. “Parents bear the responsibility for their children. I will take responsibility for the mistakes my daughter has made. You will pay with your life. I will give it to you.”
“…”
Blanca suddenly looked up at Jasper, unable to believe that he would say such things.
Beinice stood to the side and directly put down his gun. “Mr. Gustin, calm down. Although the book of absolute destruction sank into the lake with Paige, my father studied that book for his whole life, and he could still draw the patterns of the fruit of oblivion and the snow on the withered tree. We can give it to you now as an apology.”
He could only hope that Enrico still cared about his life. After all, he was still under thirty and a human being, and he could not accept an untimely death.
Upon hearing this, Enrico’s pupils constricted, and he immediately turned back to stare at Beinice, “You’re saying the letter of resignation sank into the lake with Paige?”
Beinice saw that he cared, and realized that he did care about his life after all, so he hurriedly nodded, “Yes, Paige took the letter of resignation and fled up the mountain. Mr. Gustin, don’t worry, we can really provide the fruit of oblivion and the snow of dead trees…”
Paige had taken the letter of resignation.
Enrico stood still, his knuckles white as he gripped the pistol.
“If I die or become disabled, it’s because I didn’t get the Book of Doom. That way, we can go to hell together, which is not a bad thing, right?”
If she didn’t get the scroll, she would die. But she got it.
It was as if a withered vine had been reborn, and the thought spread like a rapidly growing vine.
She wasn’t dead.
She wasn’t dead!
In her body, which was cold and stiff, every nerve seemed to come back to life in an instant, swimming around wildly, almost making the whole body explode.
Enrico took a step back, holding the gun.
This step took everyone by surprise. Could it be that what Beatrice had said had really worked?
Before someone from the Folsom family could say anything else, Enrico suddenly glanced sideways. He saw that there were not many women in the entire hall, only a tied-up Blanca and a middle-aged woman hiding in a corner, playing with a landline phone.
She looked foolish and silly, and she laughed from time to time. It seemed as if she had nothing to do with the confrontation.
Enrico could probably guess what the women were doing. It seemed that they were running away, but he had no time to worry about that right now.
He turned to leave, but the middle-aged woman in the corner was holding the phone and talking, “I’m here, Enrico. What? I’m fine…”
“…
Enrico suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look, and saw the middle-aged woman sniffling while she spoke, desperately imitating something.
His eyes grew darker.
Brangelina was sitting there engrossed in her game, when she suddenly felt someone looking at her, and she looked up blankly at Enrico.
“Come here,” Enrico’s voice was very deep.
Hearing this, Brangelina looked around, then stood up and ran to Enrico, her eyes wide, ‘Have you found Blanca? I’ve been looking for her for a long time and can’t find her.”
Idiot?
Enrico frowned.
“Sister, I’m here,’ Blanca hurriedly called out, worried about her sister.
Brangelina turned her head and glanced at her, her face full of disgust, ‘You’re not Blanca, Blanca hasn’t come back to play with me yet.”
“…’ Blanca was silent.
Brangelina seemed to be addicted to role-playing, took a step to the side and said in a serious tone, “I’m leaving. It’s getting late, you just rest here, I’ll go alone. Blanca is leaving!”
Enrico looked at the silly middle-aged woman in front of him. Although she was silly, her enunciation was quite clear.
“What were you doing with the phone just now?” Enrico asked her.
“Playing games, Blanca looking for Blanca, playing Blanca will she come back?” Brangelina looked at Enrico with anticipation.
She was mentally ill, but she had her own set of logic in her head. When she couldn’t find Paige no matter what, she came up with this solution.
Blanca looking for Blanca.
Enrico’s eyes flashed with a dark color, and he looked up at Blanca before saying, “Yes, play again and Blanca will come back.”
“…”
Jasper looked at him inexplicably.
The Folsom family was surprised. Enrico had been driven mad by the excitement. He had just wanted to kill someone, but suddenly he was playing games with Miss Brangelina.
“Really?” Brangelina jumped up happily, ran to the corner, picked up the landline and left, ripping the phone line out of the wall.
Brangelina ran to the middle of the hall, stood in front of Enrico, grabbed the phone and put it to her ear. Thinking that wasn’t enough, she looked around for a stool, but couldn’t find one, so she simply sat down on the floor and started to dial
“I’m at the Folsom family now, they didn’t do anything to me, tomorrow they’ll do this and that…”
Brangelina couldn’t remember long sentences.
It was last night’s call, and Enrico remembered it clearly. He stared at Brangelina with lowered eyes, listening to her continue with a cold face.
Brangelina grabbed the phone and slowly recalled it before whispering, “Enrico, what? I found my biological mother in the Folsom family.”
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent.
