If Rachel had known they had offspring, it would have been a rush.
But she didn’t know, and she could only aim at Paige’s other care – Paige’s ideals.
What a surprise that the old man’s words had come true so quickly.
Paige did need this retreat from THE Folsom family now.
“…”
Paige stood there without moving, only to feel a coolness that shot from her feet right up to her head, chilling her senseless.
She now knew where that shipment of weapons was going.
It didn’t need to go anywhere specific, as long as it stayed in A without incident.
Virus plus riot.
Country A, finished.
“Wait, even if Caroline … she could get that entire shipment into Country A, how is she capable of doing that, throwing a virus at a high class dinner party like that, there’s no way she could do that.” Beinice said with a frown.
His daughter had long ago gotten to the point where she was having a hard time walking, so how could she possibly manipulate a dinner party over in A.
“Then it only means that she has a union with the people over in Country A. She’s not the only mastermind involved in this conspiracy.”
Brangelina quickly figured it out and looked up to Enrico and Paige in front of her, “Both of you can’t go back, there is no cure for the Ferris Wheel Virus up until now, as soon as this hits the news, all the countries will disconnect their transportation with Country A. Hurry up and figure out a way to get all of your people here while there is still some time left. ”
Cynthia, Lamont, David, and Derrick heard these words as they finished unpacking and came in with their suitcases.
“Ms. Brangelina, what you mean by that is that our country … is doomed to die, right?” Cynthia looked at Brangelina with a pale face.
“We didn’t say that, but it is true that what happens to Country A has nothing to do with you anymore, and you should know that you are all Paige’s people, and if you go back, you will all be nailed to the wall as targets, and you will all be looking after yourselves, and you still care about what is the greater good.” Brangelina said.
It sounded heartless, but it was every word of it.
Cynthia stopped talking, but the tip of her nose soured.
Paige stood there, silent all the while, and she glanced at Enrico’s hand clasped tightly in her own, the antlers on his tiger’s muzzle eye-catching and unmistakable.
She watched, and after a long moment of raising her eyes to her own, her lips moved, and she firmly uttered, “Go back to your country.”
At those words, Nick and the others immediately stood up straight and shouted, “Yes!”
I knew that Sister Paige wouldn’t back down.
Even if they didn’t care about their own country, even if they could pick up all their loved ones, even if everything could be picked up, what about Carrie?
Where could she go as the First Lady of Country A?
Even if it was just for Carrie’s sake, they couldn’t just stay in a foreign country and enjoy their lives.
“Paige-” Brangelina and Beinice said in unison, looking at her unsupportively.
Enrico stood and took Paige’s hand in his, gripping it instead on her wrist, hard, pulling back.
Paige lifted her face to look at him and Enrico’s eyes were bottomless.
He stared deep into her, “I’m going back.”
“Let me stay now, I’m worse than dead.” Paige said word for word as she gazed into his eyes.
“…”
Enrico had no choice at once but to hold her wrist, his fingers feeling her cold skin and beating pulse.
After a long moment, he gave in, “Come on, let’s go back home.”
He pulled Paige along and left, Brangelina couldn’t help but stop them eagerly when she saw they were actually going back, “Are you two crazy? Going back now not to mention anything else, the Ferris wheel virus is so powerful, what if you guys get infected?”
This virus has such a high lethality rate, once infected it’s no joke.
“Mr. Gustin, you and Paige stay, both of you are not mediocre, with THE Folsom family as the foundation, you can still create your own glory, everything in Country A, shedding is also shedding.” Beinice also anxiously said.
If something happens to the two of them back in Country A, how can he stand up to them, how can he stand up to Blanca and the old man.
Paige looked at the two of them and was just about to speak when Enrico stepped forward and directly blocked Beinice’s hand that was blocking him over, coldly saying, “Whether or not I give up everything in Country A, I don’t really care, but I won’t allow my son to have a goon father who flees the country.”
“Son?” Beinice and Brangelina both looked shocked.
Enrico took Paige’s hand and headed out the door.
Nick and the others followed quickly with their suitcases, none of them hesitating for a second.
…
The news from Country A hadn’t come out yet, and the group boarded the plane back home without incident.
Sitting on the airplane, Paige asked the stewardess for a pen and paper and began to roughly calculate her assets.
Suddenly, the pen and paper were snatched by someone.
Paige turned her eyes, Enrico was sitting beside her, staring at her with dark eyes, reaching out, he pressed her head onto his shoulder, “There’s a hard battle to be fought back there, now get some sleep.”
“…”
Paige naturally wasn’t sleepy, but she didn’t refuse, leaning meekly against Enrico, her eyes looking ahead in silence.
The airplane was too calm.
There were people talking and laughing, and the sound of a child crying, and everything seemed so normal and cozy.
Nothing seemed to be happening.
No one knew what would await them the moment they landed.
“I don’t understand who else but Rachel would be so obsessed with stirring up such a big conspiracy.” Paige whispered.
Once upon a time, it was THE Folsom family who tried to stir up plutocratic chaos, but they couldn’t anymore.
So what about now, who was doing such a heartless thing.
As her words fell, the large palm pressed on her head gently patted twice, carrying a warm temperature.
“Rest assured, if the sky falls, there’s still me.” Enrico’s magnetic voice fell in her ear.
“…”
Paige leaned a little tighter into his shoulder, desperate to hide herself in his arms.
The plane landed.
Paige puts on her mask and Cynthia discreetly hands over another, “Paige-san, wear two for better protection.”
“…”
Paige gives her a silent look, then takes the mask and puts on another layer.
The cell phone suddenly vibrated violently.
The group unanimously picked up their phones, and it was a myriad of news co-pushers, the Ferris wheel virus thing had made the news after all.
The reaction of all parties was swift.
They hadn’t even stepped out of the huge airport when the airplanes that had just landed behind them began to speed up on the runway and soar overhead.
“That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that, an airplane flying out of a landing.” Nick stood there, somewhat mockingly.
“…”
Paige was led inside by Enrico’s hand.
The two walked at the front of the line, Enrico with a pair of sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose and a trench coat with wind at the corners.
It had only been ten minutes, but the airport was already in chaos.
All the people who had heard the news rushed into the airport and demanded to leave the country, holding their air tickets in their hands and huddling together, so loudly that they almost blew up the roof of the airport.
They were so noisy and rowdy that even the floor-to-ceiling windows were crowded with people.
But the big screen flipped over message after message of grounding.
Desperate cries came from the crowd, quickly infecting more and more people.
Paige stood looking up the stairs for a moment when she was swept up in Enrico’s arms, his hands covering her eyes directly from behind as he led her away in a half-around-the-back embrace.
