Bryan fell to the ground, unable to feel even the pain. He could only turn his face away, unable to bear to watch anymore.
The members of the Smiths family all hung their heads, not knowing what fate awaited them next.
Enrico casually threw the gun to Jaden, stood up from the sofa, straightened his clothes, and a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes, “Jaden, send the Smiths family back to The Capital, except for this ‘righteous’ new president, the rest should be judged by the court for whatever crimes they have committed.”
“Yes,” Jaden bowed his head.
“Enrico!” Jason had just woken up on the ground and heard this conversation. He almost fainted. He gritted his teeth and glared at Enrico, “You hurt my father and I. In the future, when you go to court, you will not get off either!”
Upon hearing this, Enrico let out a low laugh, casually inserted one hand into his pants pocket, took two steps forward, and gave Jason’s wound a light kick, causing Jason to scream in pain again.
Enrico’s smile deepened as he spoke in a carefree tone, “The Smiths family fled the country and were shot at by bandits from another country at the border. I received a letter of complaint from the new president of the Smiths family, so I came to arrest the traitors. I even had a compassionate heart and saved you. How could such a good person like me end up like this?”
Jaden stood to one side, understanding what was being said, and said, “Yes, if we hadn’t arrived in time, the Smiths family would have been killed by the villains from another country.”
“Yes! I reported the Smiths family!”
The new president also took a side, and the Smiths family was completely cornered.
“…”
In the blink of an eye, the story was completely made up.
The members of the Smiths family huddled together and shivered. How could they say such things? Were they still human?
Jason looked even more deathly pale.
Enrico looked down at them, his gaze falling on Bryan next to him, and lifted his foot…
His hand was suddenly grasped.
Paige took his hand and walked away, whispering, “That’s enough, let’s just leave it there, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a villain.”
With this approach, she was beginning to doubt whether what they had done was justified.
“What did you say?” Enrico obediently let her lead the way.
“I said, Mr. Gustin is really efficient,”
Paige turned back and pulled out a smile.
“That’s for sure,” Enrico raised an eyebrow and added, “It’s really hard to be a good guy, and they even want to put the blame for being shot on my head, it’s ridiculous.”
“…”
You just shut up.
Paige couldn’t bear to listen anymore, and led him out quickly.
Not only did Enrico not try to hide the fact that the Smiths family had been caught after fleeing, he also asked Jaden to spread the news.
Before they even returned to The Capital, the news had already spread throughout the large and small plutocrats and families in Country A, and for a time, everyone was on edge.
A classic example was really set for the Smiths family.
…
Overnight, the Smiths family fell apart, and a nephew of the Smiths family, whose name no one had heard of, hurriedly took over. The first thing he did was to publicly expose the infected people in the Smiths family and their specific itinerary.
The Ferris Wheel virus was thus torn open, but even a small opening was something to celebrate.
Paige was sitting in the car on the way back to The Capital when she was woken up by the incessant vibration of her phone. She opened it and saw that it was a news feed.
Once the Smiths family’s itinerary was released, it involved a lot of ordinary people, like grapes growing on a vine, one bunch after another. However, it wasn’t difficult to check the ordinary people’s itinerary, and it was quickly made public, and they were taken directly to quarantine to avoid continuing to affect others.
“If all the chaebols are willing to go public, at least we can control the epidemic and prevent a large-scale outbreak,”
Paige turned off her phone and said, “Unfortunately, reality will not be so good.
They are using the Smiths family as an example, which is like killing the chicken to warn the monkey. Some of those plutocrats will definitely jump out of the window in desperation. When they go back this time, they will be greeted by a bloody storm.”
She thought about it, but couldn’t wait for a response from the person next to her, so she couldn’t help but turn her head.
She saw Enrico sitting next to her, his trench coat as dark as ink. He was looking down, his eyes beneath his sharp eyebrows closed. His eyelashes were long, and there was a shallow groove on his eyelids that reached to the corners of his eyes, drawing out a touch of the strange.
Every time she looked at him, her attention was captured by the most severe part, not his grey pupils that were different from normal people, but this trace of the double eyelid line, the most beautiful and sexy curve she had ever seen.
He had fallen asleep.
Paige didn’t say a word, just quietly watching him.
The car braked, and Enrico’s body leaned forward, slanting against her shoulder.
Paige sat still, only reminding the driver, “Drive carefully.”
“Yes,” the driver replied softly.
Paige let Enrico lean against her, lifting her hand to gently stroke his high nose and the curve of his eye.
Suddenly, her hand was grasped by Enrico.
His palm was very hot, and the tattoo on his wrist was extremely arrogant.
“…”
Did you wake up?
Paige was stunned for a moment, and Enrico pressed her hand against his leg and pressed the palm of her hand with his fingertips, “Paige.”
He leaned against her shoulder, his voice low and hoarse.
Didn’t fall asleep?
“What’s wrong?” she asked softly.
“In the future, I’ll wear white for you.” Enrico closed his eyes and squeezed her soft hand. His voice was low, as if he were murmuring, “If you dare to look at someone else again, I’ll blindfold you with a red ribbon every day.”
“…”
What the hell is this?
Paige was confused as she listened. She looked down at him, but he didn’t sound as harsh as he was being. His face was calm, and he didn’t even frown.
Was this just rambling?
She asked him what he was talking about, but Enrico didn’t answer her, breathing evenly as he fell asleep.
Paige shook her head, not understanding what was going on.
A convoy of cars drove methodically towards The Capital. Enrico and Paige’s car was quiet, not even the radio was on, while a bunch of middle-aged men in a business car behind them were in a bad mood.
“What are you doing?”
Beinice had not slept well that night. Sitting in the back of the car, he was almost asleep from the car’s jostling. Suddenly, someone next to him moved, and he yelled impatiently.
Brangelina and Blanca, who were sitting in the front, turned around and looked back. They saw Alonso, who was originally half-lying in the back seat, actually struggling to sit up unsteadily. However, he had just had a bullet removal surgery and was extremely weak. His face was pale and unsteady as he swayed.
Whenever the car swayed, he would fall onto Beinice.
Beinice was furious.
“Where are we?”
Alonso sucked in a breath, bracing himself, and sat up crookedly in the back seat, turning his head to look out the window.
“We’re almost at The Capital,” Beinice said impatiently.
On hearing this, Alonso’s gaze trembled, and he said, “I want to get off.”
“…”
The three siblings of the Folsom family looked at him speechlessly.
Blanca’s brows furrowed as she looked at his weak face, “What’s the point of causing trouble after the surgery you just had? Are you trying to win pity in front of Paige?”
Blanca didn’t expect that after Alonso took a bullet for her, Paige simply told him her identity.
After this revelation, Alonso’s entire being began to feel wrong.
Paige and Enrico were outside dealing with the Smiths family, and he was restless even when he was taking a bullet. He wanted to stand up and take a look for a while, then sit back down again. Halfway through the surgery, he endured the severe pain and ran to the lobby to peek.
