Blanca looked at her and smiled, then lowered her head and put the piece of candy in her mouth. The coolness of the mint spread through her mouth along with the sweetness.
‘Sweet,’
she said, tasting only sweetness.
Paige pinched the candy wrapper in her hand and looked up ahead. She saw the old woman looking down at Alonso, who was kneeling in front of her, and said, ‘That’s enough. Stand aside.’
“Old lady, I still want to introduce you to someone else,’
Alonso said, stood up from the ground, turned around and stepped out of the door. His dark eyes stared straight at Blanca, walking towards her and reaching out to grab her.
‘…’
Blanca took a step back, aiming the gun at him with a cold gaze.
Alonso looked at her and whispered, ‘I don’t care what you three siblings are plotting with the Davis family. The Davis family is not a place you can come and go as you please. Go in with me to identify the people, and I will take care of the rest.’
The Folsom family is bent on stirring up trouble in Country A and growing in power.
I’m afraid this visit to the Davis family is also for that reason, but this auntie of the Davis family is not someone to be trifled with. If she sets her sights on someone, she doesn’t care if she leaves everyone else behind.
Blanca looked at him coldly and said word by word, ‘This is your home, who do I recognise?’
It’s not just him.
It’s still Annie’s home.
Isn’t it a joke for her to come and recognise people?
“Blanca!’
Alonso frowned.
‘Alonso, this is…’ Armen stood next to the old lady and looked at Alonso doubtfully.
Alonso looked at Blanca’s pale, cold face and felt somewhat helpless. He turned to look at the old lady, bowed his head and said, ‘Old lady, she is my wife I married outside the country, her name is Blanca.’
Blanca stood there, listening to this, and her hand almost went off.
‘Ex-wife,’ she said coldly.
‘We haven’t yet divorced,’ Alonso said immediately, his brows furrowed tightly and his voice lowered, ‘You really shouldn’t treat this place as if it were the Folsom family where you can do whatever you want.’
Paige looked at Alonso, and it seemed that no matter how ugly the split was in the beginning, when they met again, he still wanted to protect Blanca.
‘Your wife is here too?’
The old lady sat there, her gaze sweeping over Paige. “It seems that she and this daughter-in-law of the Gustin family’s villa are very close. They have both come to my the Davis family. What exactly are they after?”
The old lady had seen the two of them stripping and eating the candy moments ago.
‘Old lady…”
Alonso was about to speak when the old lady raised her hand, reading his thoughts in a single glance. ‘Fine, I will hand over your wife to you. Come in first.’
Paige, Blanca and Brangelina looked at each other, lifted their feet and walked in.
Jeremy was also pushed in.
‘Bang.’
A loud sound.
The Davis family’s front door slammed shut behind them.
All the guns were pointed at them, forming a siege.
Alonso took the gun in Blanca’s hand, and when Alonso tried to pull her aside, Blanca broke free expressionlessly.
The silver-haired old lady sat gracefully in a chair, her gaze sweeping over each of their faces, stopping for a few seconds on Jeremy before finally returning to Paige. ‘Come, smart-mouthed girl, you’ll start with you. Tell me, who exactly are you?’
Paige stood under the gun and calmly said, ‘Old lady, I’m not lying to you, I’m Annie’s daughter-in-law.’
‘Oh?”
The old lady laughed, “So tell me, what is the meaning of you bringing poison, a eunuch and a lover into my Davis family? I have lived for so long and have never seen anyone play games like this.”
It turned out that the old lady had already realised that she had been drugged.
This remark… How is it that there is an illusion of great ethical chaos.
Paige was about to speak when Enrico on the side pushed away the person from the Davis family who was pointing a gun at him, walked forward, and while walking, pulled off the fake stubble on his face, revealing a face with sharp angles and a distinct handsome face.
‘Old lady, there is something in this world called cosmetic contact lenses,’ Enrico snorted, and lowered his head to take out the cosmetic contact lenses in his eyes.
“Be careful, bow your head.’
Paige frowned at his rude actions and lifted her hand to take out the contact lenses in his eyes for him.
Enrico lifted his face, and the pair of deep grey eyes beneath his arched eyebrows were evil and strange, with an unrivalled air of superiority.
Seeing this, the old lady froze in place.
Beautiful, what’s beautiful?
Armen was still holding the gun, and upon seeing this, he looked at him in shock, ‘You, you are…’
‘Enrico.’
Enrico pronounced his name word by word.
‘Aunt Annie’s son?’
Armen’s eyes widened in shock.
Alonso was stunned, standing to the side and looking at the burly Enrico, who had grown so much.
Jeremy stood to the side, and the moment Enrico tore off his stubble, his face changed. He looked at his son in shock, “You came early?”
‘What else?’ Enrico looked at him, smiling contemptuously, “I thought I was getting you diamonds in The Capital?”
‘You…’
Jeremy was so angry that he could burst, but he looked calm and collected. Why did all of a sudden all of his emotions come pouring out?
‘The game is over. Hand over the antidote.’
Enrico was tired of arguing with him and walked up to Jeremy, ripped off his suit jacket and looked for the antidote.
Jeremy did not resist in any way, letting him rip off his jacket buttons and let them fall to the ground.
The antidote was nowhere to be found.
The moment the jacket was pulled open, the wide, thick belt wrapped around Jeremy’s waist was revealed, with a small electronic screen in the centre flashing numbers.
It was a bomb.
Jeremy looked at Enrico in front of him, slowly raised his hand, and didn’t know when a remote control appeared in his hand, with his thumb resting above the red button.
‘Is the game over? My dear son,’ Jeremy smiled, his eyes full of sinister intent.
‘…’
Enrico’s face turned cold, and he looked at him with a heavy gaze before stepping back, pulling Paige behind him.
‘…’
The scene was in an uproar, everyone looking at each other.
Alonso pulled Blanca behind him and raised the gun in his hand, but didn’t pull the trigger. ‘Jeremy, after all these years, you’ve gone crazy.’
‘I have no choice.’
Jeremy clenched the remote control in his hand. ‘This is my last chance, I have to go all out.’
He actually still had this up his sleeve.
Paige stood behind Enrico with a frown. She glanced to the side and saw Armen raise his gun and aim it at Jeremy’s head.
‘Aim well. If you can’t kill him with one shot, we’ll both die,’
Jeremy suddenly said arrogantly to Armen, with his thumb pressed against the red button on the remote control.
‘…’
Armen’s movements froze, of course he wasn’t sure he could kill Jeremy with one shot.
‘You’ve come this far, and you’re still taking the antiques from the basement?’
Paige looked over and said coldly, ‘The Gustin family’s villa has been surrounded, do you think you can escape to Country A? If you stop now, I’ll let you go back to the manor, at least you’ll still have your life.’
