She silently withdrew her gaze and glanced at the sky outside. The fire was burning fiercely below, but the sky looked clean and clear from this altitude, and the blue was exceptionally beautiful.
Paige pursed her lips and whispered after a long while, “In fact, we are similar. You were willing to die before because there was only one pill…”
As soon as the words came out, Paige regretted it.
She knew that Enrico was worried about her, but she was still arguing about the past at this time.
Sure enough, Enrico laughed angrily, his voice faint, “Yes, what kind of treatment did I get that time? Why, you can’t stand it when it’s your turn.”
At that time, she was about to give him an earful.
“…”
Okay, you’re right, you’re right.
Paige didn’t say anything, sitting quietly. As the helicopter flew down, she couldn’t help but say, “This time I really took matters into my own hands. I apologize to you…”
“Not acceptable.”
Without waiting for the helicopter to come to a stop, Enrico pushed open the door and jumped off.
“…”
Paige put a hand to her forehead.
Her head was killing her.
…
At this point, the conglomerates’ grand alliance was completely broken, and in a simple and crude way, when they collectively lost their personal freedom, there was no need to fight any more economic or public opinion battles.
The entire group was imprisoned in a secret location, and very few people knew about it.
After such a great victory, the next step was to decide what to do with these people and how the situation in Country A would change in the future.
As the lights came on, The Capital was calm as water.
Moonlight filtered through the clouds and fell on the towering Gustin Group building, illuminating the huge conference room.
The main seat was empty. Enrico was not present, and Jaden was sitting nearby, in full charge.
“I think this is the perfect opportunity to reveal the secret of Wind Island’s formation, to make the ugly truth public. There is still a virus in the country, and there will be no foreign intervention. These chaebols no longer have the ability to cause trouble, so it’s the perfect time for them to step down in a reasonable manner,” Nick said in a low voice as he sat at the conference table.
Back then, Paige had to rebuild the slums and worry about these things. Now it’s just perfect, and there’s no need to worry anymore, it’s all been revealed in one fell swoop.
“The timing is indeed good, except…”
Rafael was injured, and the old butler attended the meeting on his behalf. At this time, he frowned and worried, “Now that the virus still exists in the country and there is no specific medicine, will this major change in the entire upper structure affect the hearts of the people too much? The economy will also look bad.”
Now that Country A is in their hands, prosperity will be difficult to achieve, that is for sure.
“One cannot look at everything just from a data perspective. In the long run, eliminating these rabble rousers definitely has more benefits than disadvantages. As long as they disappear, many policies that benefit the people can be implemented, and everyone will be united. Then the Ferris Wheel virus will not spread any further.”
Mitchell sat there, straightened his suit, and spoke calmly, “As for the economy, a century ago, even after the First World War, Country A was able to rise again, so what are we afraid of now?”
“We, the Folsom family, have unanimously decided to return to Country A. Before we do, we will find a way to get more medical supplies from abroad to meet the urgent needs of the country,” said Beinice, sitting next to him.
At this time, it is more than appropriate for the Folsom family to return to Country A.
Upon hearing this, Mitchell smiled and turned to look at the old butler of the presidential palace, “With our two families returning to the battlefield, your president will have nothing to worry about.”
“Yes, yes.” The old butler smiled back, but then he felt that it wasn’t right, and looked at the faces in the room.
This is the Davis family, Mr. Gustin’s family, and the Folsom family is Paige’s family. All of them are large families from over a century ago. Now that the domestic situation has changed, these two families have returned, along with the Gustin Group and Temple in Heaven…
After this, won’t Country A be the world of Enrico and Paige?
No, no, Carrie is Paige’s subordinate and they are like sisters, so his family’s president is also considered to be related to Enrico by marriage.
This relationship… no matter how you look at it, they are all related.
This decisive battle has turned Country A into a family business.
It’s wonderful.
Wonderful.
No matter how the situation changes in the future, it will never be able to surpass this family business. Country A will be stable for at least the next hundred years.
The old butler looked at Paige, who was sitting on his left, and a sense of reverence arose in him. All of this was because of this young girl. She was now the central figure, and all the powerful forces around her revolved around her.
Who would have thought that just a few years ago, she was just a lowly slum dweller on Wind Island.
Seeing the old butler staring at Paige intently, the crowd looked at each other, and Blanca said, “Paige, what do you think?”
Paige, the central figure of Country A in the old butler’s eyes, was resting her chin in her hand, staring directly at the empty main seat, so lost in thought that she had wandered off into space, and she didn’t even hear Blanca call her.
The crowd was puzzled.
Jaden looked at her and said, “Miss, is there a problem?”
There was.
When would Enrico’s anger subside?
He didn’t even bother to show up at such an important meeting, so he didn’t want to see her?
Ahhhhhhh.
My head hurts.
Maybe I should buy some sucking jelly on the way home later? But this trick probably wouldn’t work now.
Paige pressed half her face into her palm and let out a silent sigh. Suddenly, her head felt hot and a shadow fell over her.
She looked up, and Alonso stood next to her, staring at her with a grave expression on his face. He put his hand directly on her forehead. “You don’t have a fever. What’s wrong with you? Did you get hit too hard today and feel unwell? I’ll take you to the hospital. We’re not going to have this meeting.”
“…”
Paige came back to her senses. As she turned her head, she saw everyone staring at her, half in confusion and half in concern.
She immediately sat up straight, cleared her throat, and said, “Sorry, I was distracted for a moment. I think… there is still a problem.”
Which problem was she talking about?
From the moment she found out that Enrico wasn’t at the meeting, she hadn’t listened at all.
She pursed her lips and said with a serious expression, “But I think the problem can still be solved.”
“How?” Everyone looked at her.
“Grandpa, what do you think?”
Paige decisively shifted the focus of everyone’s attention.
“…”
Mitchell was sitting there, holding a thermos cup of water, and choking when he heard this. He looked at her with some confusion. Didn’t he already speak?
But when he was asked, Mitchell could only continue to find something to say, ‘It is necessary to disclose the truth about the existence of Wind Island. After this opportunity, it will be impossible to disclose it again.’
“I feel the same way,” Paige nodded.
“…”
“…”
Is that all you have to say?
Everyone was at a loss, feeling that Paige was physically here, but her soul seemed to have floated out of the meeting room.
Seeing that they were looking at her like this, Paige tried hard to adjust her state of mind, to sort through what was in her head. She was about to speak and give some details when her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.
She took it out and glanced at the screen. It was Carrie calling.
At this time, Carrie shouldn’t be with Rafael, so why is she calling her?
Paige guessed that it was urgent, so she answered the phone directly. Carrie’s somewhat agitated voice immediately came through, “Paige, it’s bad, my brother-in-law took Rafael away!”
