Red lips parted.
The voice was soft and deadly.
“…”
Enrico cursed inwardly as he stared at her lips and turned his face away to drink the orange juice in his hand.
The glass was empty and he didn’t feel a bit of thirst quenching, his throat was dry.
“Mr. Gustin, how’s that for consideration?” Paige looked at him with a smile on her face.
Enrico set the empty glass down on the floor and stood up with a cold face, striding away.
“…”
Paige watches his back.
Suddenly, Enrico took a few steps backward, turned around, and pulled her up from the apparatus with one hand, and with his large palm pressing down on the back of her neck he lowered his head and kissed her, a soul-stealing, deep kiss.
After the kiss, he rubbed her head fiercely, grinding his teeth, “I’ll play with you.”
After saying that he walked straight away with a black face.
Paige stood in place, touching her lips that were a little hot from the kiss, she smiled.
…
Country D, Eastdown, the fine snow melted, but the temperature was not much higher.
The Folsom family manor was quietly nestled at the bottom of the hill, looking no different than usual, still majestic and solemn.
The temperature was set to more than 30 degrees indoors, in front of the fan-shaped window, a thin and weak figure sat quietly in front of the desk, wearing a cashmere dress, the left hand resting on the feeble right hand to try to hold the pen, but the fingers just barely picked up the pen, the pen fell down again.
“Cough cough-”
Rachel coughed violently as she looked at the pen that had landed on the table, coughing so hard that she almost threw up her organs.
“Rachel–”
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Leah cringed as soon as she walked in at the fire-like warmth of the room, hastily pulling her coat off and heading towards the girl at the desk.
Seeing the crumbled handwriting falling on the paper, Leah already knew everything clearly and said, “If you can’t move this hand, don’t move it, why do you have to fight yourself?”
“How are things done? Rachel raised her eyes and looked at her coldly.
“Done.” Leah is a well-maintained middle-aged woman, she looked at Rachel, “Rachel, this Kelsey fled to Country A. Paige and Enrico, those two bitches, are not what they used to be nowadays, I think it’s better for us to hide for a while.”
“Who told you to scold Enrico?”
At those words, Rachel grabbed her pen and slammed it over at Leah, her eyes swept over with strong displeasure, “Paige that woman’s name doesn’t deserve to be with Enrico’s name!”
“Rachel, I’m your mother, how can you talk to me like that, Enrico is no good, he killed Emery!”
Leah was Jeremy’s step-sibling, Enrico’s step-mother, and ever since The Capital’s highest pinnacle would be the failure of the big plan, she had run away overnight when she heard the news and hid in an unrecorded property that she had long ago purchased abroad.
She wanted to just live and let live, but to her surprise, Rachel called her and asked her to come to D.
Adopted daughter recognized her ancestor, have made progress, of course she has to come back, if possible, she will also personally to Enrico to avenge the murder of his son.
“That’s Enrico under Paige’s spell.” Rachel said without even thinking.
Leah looked at her confused, “Don’t you know what kind of person Enrico is? Who could compel a tough guy like him?”
Didn’t Enrico and Paige both deserve to die?
“Enough!” Rachel shouted out with all his strength as he glared at her, “Leah, if I wasn’t unable to stand for long now that my hamstring is broken, do you think I would have used you?”
“…”
Leah looked at her in dismay, she wasn’t even calling out for her mother now.
“If you still want to kill Paige and avenge Emery’s death, you’ll have to listen to me, otherwise, you won’t even be able to kill her.”
Rachel said as she looked at her coldly.
I don’t know if it’s because the weather in Eastdown is really not suitable for recuperating, Rachel’s body is getting thinner and thinner, her eye sockets are now concave, this stare is particularly weird, completely lost the elegance of the third lady of The Gustin family’s villa when she was in The Capital.
Leah looked panicked for a moment, stepped back, swallowed the words of reproach and said, “So what are you going to do now? You really don’t need to avoid it?”
“Recuse myself from what?” Rachel asked rhetorically.
“What if Enrico and Paige come running to D?” Leah frowned, wasn’t she worried.
“Then come on, I’ll wait for them.”
Rachel sat there, an expectant grin actually on her face, looking at Leah with chills.
After a while, Rachel pressed her heart and instructed Leah, “Go feed her some water, don’t let her die.”
Her?
What her?
Leah froze and turned her head to look and saw a bulge on the bed.
Leah walked over and saw a middle-aged woman lying on the bed, the woman lay there with a sunken face and one eye open looking upwards with resentment and tears in the corners of her eyes, but she was lying straight up and not moving.
Yemmy, Beinice’s wife, Rachel’s real mother.
“You put a compulsion on her too?” Leah realized what was going on when she saw Yemmy like this and turned her head to look at Rachel incredulously, “She’s your real mother.”
She remembered that when she was first received into THE FOLSOM FAMILY years ago, Yemmy was still grateful to her, taking good care of her, and obeying Rachel as her daughter.
Even when the Folsom family had been tossed around by Rachel, Yemmy still foolishly believed in her daughter and how she could be …
“She’s too loud.” Rachel said as she sat there not really caring, “Keeps telling me to get along with THE Folsom family people, keeps saying she doesn’t believe Casey would harm the old man, really loud.”
How did she have that time to listen to Yemmy talk, she had a lot of plans, she had a lot of things to do.
Leah listened in disbelief, “But she’s nice to you.”
“Nice? Even you think that people in THE Folsom family are nice to me don’t you?”
Rachel turned slowly in her chair and sneered at Leah, hatred erupting in her eyes.
When she learned that she was a member of THE Folsom family, she thought that God had treated her well and given her a chance to start over, but what happened?
But what happened was that immediately afterward, God played a joke on her, and Paige and her were actually cousins.
And the Folsom family, since the Folsom family know Paige is the Folsom family, all with a change of a person, one by one, as if to see what hope, even the old man is going to pass the position over the son grandson and granddaughter, passed on to the granddaughter.
Once upon a time, she liked Enrico, but after Paige appeared, she has been living in this woman’s shadow.
Now that she and Paige were separated in two countries, she was still living in each other’s shadows.
That little girl Kelsey stares at her every day, and keeps mentioning Paige in front of the old man, causing him to decide to send her away as well, and if she hadn’t made a snap decision and entered the glacier on her own, she wouldn’t even know where she’d be sent now?
Then there’s that Casey, her own brother, who knew enough to shush her at first, but ended up having a fit with her over Kelsey, saying that he’d watched Kelsey grow up, and that there was no way she could have harmed her own family;
Well, that’s just as well, the old man looks like his old bones are failing him now, but his eyes are still sharp as hawks to a fault, so she’ll use Casey and tell him to go to hell.
