“Father…”
Rachel got up from her wheelchair and fell to her knees before Beinice with a thud.
She could not count on Jasper now, so she grabbed Beinice’s hand and her eyes reddened as tears fell. ‘Father, please save me. Paige won’t let me go, she won’t let me go. I don’t want to die, I’ve finally seen you and mother again, I really don’t want to die… Please save me, save me.’
“…”
Beinice also did not expect Paige to make such a condition. Looking at her daughter crying like this, how could her heart not ache? She reached out to help her. “Caroline, you get up first. Marian may just be speaking out of anger. You are cousins after all…”
“I’m not speaking out of anger.” Paige sat there, coldly watching Rachel’s tears. “This Folsom family, it’s either her or me, it’s either me or her.”
“Father, save me, save me…”
Rachel made a more fearful gesture, trembling and leaning against Beinice’s leg, crying very badly.
“Paige, you’re going too far,”
Casey said, unable to help himself as he looked at Paige.
“Old man, control your offspring. I don’t like it when someone talks about our Paige.”
Enrico leaned back lazily in his chair, and suddenly glanced at Jasper and spoke, his voice cold, thin and unrestrained, “You know what kind of person I am, a crazy person, capable of anything.”
Paige looked at him and didn’t like him calling himself crazy.
“Casey,” Jasper said coldly.
“…,” Casey had to shut up.
Seeing this situation, Rachel leaned against Beinice’s leg and looked up at Jasper. She was crying very hard and felt aggrieved, “Grandpa, you’re not fair! I’m also your granddaughter, and I’ve suffered a lot since I was young. What makes you so biased towards Paige? If I had known that the Folsom family was like this, I would have rather disowned them and died outside.”
Jasper was annoyed by her crying and said with a stern face, “Why do you have to be so dramatic? She is pointing a gun at you now, or did I tell her to kill you?”
If it weren’t for the fact that Rachel had also just been found and had suffered outside, he would have had her executed by family law by now.
“…”
Rachel didn’t know how to respond to what she had been told, and her tears just kept falling. She raised her hand to wipe them away, and her eyes, soaked with tears, looked exceptionally pitiful. She changed the subject and said, “I know that Paige was your apprentice, and you are biased in her favor, Grandpa. You don’t need to make things difficult. Since the Folsom family can’t accommodate me, I’ll just leave.”
Rachel wiped her tears and stood up, turning around and walking away.
“Caroline!” Beatrice loved her daughter very much and quickly stood up to pull Rachel. As a result of this pull, Rachel leaned back and collapsed limp in his arms, fainting.
“Caroline? Caroline?”
Beinice was so anxious that there was suddenly a flurry of panic in the hall.
Beinice picked up her daughter and left, with Yemmy and Casey following quickly, and there were suddenly four people missing from the hall.
From beginning to end, Paige just looked on indifferently, then leaned over to Enrico and whispered, “Can you tell if she’s really unconscious or not?”
Enrico looked at her and laughed softly, “How would I know if I didn’t even take a second look?”
He didn’t care if Rachel died or not.
“No wonder you were able to be fooled by her for so many years, with that acting, you could tell it was fake just by listening,” Paige said to him.
Rachel is clearly afraid that the Folsom family will not take her seriously, so she is desperately putting on a show to make her presence felt.
“What do you mean I’ve been fooled by her for so many years?” Enrico looked at her unhappily.
“Who was it that told me at the time that this Rachel was someone who could be dealt with easily?” Paige looked at his dark eyes.
“…”
Enrico thought about it.
Hey, that’s really the case. No matter how Rachel dies, she will never die. She has survived from country A to country D.
“You know, do you not know how to read women?” Paige whispered.
Enrico kept staring at her, “It’s enough that I can read you.
Paige was flattered by these words, and her lips unconsciously lifted up.
Outside the door, the snowstorm continued, and the road was white with snow.
After a moment of panic, the entire hall returned to silence.
Everyone silently watched Enrico and Paige whispering to each other, the sweet atmosphere between lovers hidden in plain sight.
“Ahem,” Kelsey stood there and deliberately coughed twice to remind them.
Paige then looked away.
Jasper said, ‘Paige, I’ll arrange for Caroline to stay in a different place so that she won’t appear in your eyes from now on, how’s that?’
In fact, Rachel was right, he was biased.
How could he not be biased, Paige had been by his side for six months.
“If I say no, won’t that make me seem ungrateful?”
Paige smiled faintly and met Jasper’s gaze, “But I really don’t know what’s good for me.”
“Marian…”
Blanca couldn’t help but call out her name as she sat there. The name was on the tip of her tongue, but she changed the way she said it, “Paige, Caroline is your uncle’s daughter. If it wasn’t for their family helping me look for you, she wouldn’t have been lost either.”
If it was anyone else that Paige hated, she could instantly kill them without saying a word, but she was so guilty towards the Beinice family that she couldn’t be frank.
“What you said has nothing to do with me. I only know that the old grudge between Rachel and I cannot be resolved,” Paige said.
“…”
Blanca was silent.
Jasper was also silent.
He could be biased towards Paige, but he could not really push his granddaughter to her death just to keep her.
Paige stood up from her seat and laughed, “It seems that the Folsom family will not agree to my condition, so…”
“What’s the other condition?” Jasper couldn’t help but ask.
Paige looked at him, her expression darkening at the mention of it, and even her voice became grave, ‘The second condition is that those people I sacrificed in River Town be resurrected.’
Jasper’s gaze flickered, ‘That was Emery acting on his own. I never asked him to massacre the city. The people who participated in this were all arrested in Country A, and I never sent anyone to rescue them.’
“But they were always your people,” Paige said word by word.
Hearing this, Jasper understood everything. “You never even considered taking my place.”
Asking for two conditions was to let him know that this was something he was forcing.
“Teacher, the dead cannot be resurrected, and you cannot push your own granddaughter to die, let alone make things difficult for yourself.”
“…”
“So you see, the Folsom family and I have never had a connection.”
Paige smiled as she spoke, her smile a little bitter.
Jasper looked at her and said, “It’s not that there is no fate, it’s that the Folsom family can’t become the family you want. It’s that the Folsom family has let you down.”
Paige didn’t expect Jasper to say such words, and her heart trembled. She tasted an indescribable feeling in her mouth.
Jasper looked at her deeply again, then turned his head away. His cloudy eyes were wet. He raised his hand and waved, his voice permeated with a strong sense of powerlessness, “Go, go.”
He would not force her.
