Kelsey, who was standing aside playing with her braids, was stunned at this and looked at Paige in disbelief.
Isn’t this Nick?
This man went to the Moonlight Clubhouse on top of her benefactor’s body again! He got her benefactor dirty!
Paige looked at Enrico coldly. He wouldn’t say such things casually, he did it on purpose.
So she didn’t hide it either. “You must be talking about Landon, the fourth master of the Folsom family. He was referring to me, the cousin, and I used a new identity. You met in the secret passage.”
She finished speaking in a clear and organized manner.
“Really?” Enrico raised an eyebrow. “Then I really don’t remember. The lighting in the secret passage that day was poor.”
Paige looked at the dish in front of her, and suddenly lost her appetite. The bloody smell from him just now…
Sure enough, before she could say anything, Enrico sighed with some regret, “That’s bad. The head of the Wilkie family, claiming that the Folsom family had no legitimate cousin, decided that he was a liar and sent someone to beat him up. In the process, he made some outrageous remarks and was taken away by the Wilkie family.”
On hearing this, Kelsey became anxious.
“It seems that his life is in danger.”
Enrico casually put the soup in front of her as if he was saying that they could have fish stew for dinner tonight.
Kelsey’s face turned white with shock, and she anxiously looked at Paige.
Her benefactor must not be in danger.
Paige sat there with no change in her expression, but a string in her body still tensed.
She didn’t believe that Enrico hadn’t instructed or at least contributed to this incident. He had started it. He had played enough with the chaebols and now he had laid his hands on the Folsom family, who had dared to displease him.
She put down her chopsticks and took Enrico’s hand without further ado.
With Enrico’s somewhat surprised gaze, Paige directly removed the snake ring on his thumb and handed it to Kelsey, “Go to the Wilkie family and say that Master JT told him to release the person.”
Kelsey was excited to take it, but Enrico held Paige’s hand and pressed it on the table, along with the ring.
“What are you doing?” Enrico smiled at her, his eyes gentle and kind.
“I know Landon, and he cares a lot about me, so I don’t want to see him die,”
Paige said, and after being tested by others, she might as well just confess.
“Have you and the Folsom family become that close?” Enrico was still smiling. “Cousin, would a big family like theirs, who is condescending and arrogant, casually recognize a cousin?”
Paige felt that it would be a problem if Enrico continued to misunderstand the Folsom family like this, so she thought for a moment and said, “In fact, you’ve been wrong all along. Leonard doesn’t know your status in Country A. He is kind-hearted and gives the Women’s Self-Help Association a lot of financial support. So I sought refuge with him in the hope of borrowing a new identity to leave here.”
Kind-hearted.
Enrico put a salted baked peanut in his mouth. It didn’t taste good, but there was nothing unusual on his face.
“The Folsom family came to the underground city just to rescue me. If they were targeting you, they would have made a move by now.” Paige tried hard to reduce Enrico’s hatred of the Folsom family.
If this was stirred up, before support arrived, there would be another massacre of the Folsom family in the city.
“Rescue?” Enrico raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, we had a disagreement before, and you wanted to hypnotize me to make me stay by your side.”
Paige told the lie with her eyes wide open, ‘As for you losing your memory, it’s because you didn’t want some memories of our argument.’
Paige’s addition was perfect with his self-righteous logic.
“Oh.” Enrico understood, “So, I ordered that person to hypnotize you? Then it was really a wasted death.”
It wasn’t that Jared had died unjustly.
It was just that it was a waste, like if she accidentally stepped on an ant.
Paige was disgusted by JT’s casual attitude towards human life. He didn’t even think about it for long before moving on to something else.
“So, you don’t want to harm me.”
Enrico looked at her, his eyes behind the lenses with a smile of affection, “I knew that you wouldn’t go this far with me.”
“Of course I won’t harm you,” Paige said firmly, staring into his eyes.
Enrico was momentarily stunned by her unwavering gaze. Even though she was clearly colluding with the Folsom family, it seemed that his suspicions and doubts were despicable.
A few seconds later, his smile deepened, “Leonard will definitely not rest as long as he knows that his own younger brother is in the hands of the Wilkie family and has been beaten up so badly. It’s not good for both families to be at odds.”
Huh?
He’s concerned about the harmony between families?
Paige couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. Enrico continued, “You know Leonard, and I know Santiago, the head of the Wilkie family. Why don’t we set up a banquet to help them reconcile?”
“Is that really necessary?” Just rescue Nick, isn’t that enough?
“It’s the way of the world,” Enrico said with a smile.
“Can I say no?”
Paige was still more on her guard against Enrico’s thoughtful thinking.
Enrico pushed his glasses on his nose, his eyes softening, as if he were tolerating an unruly child.
He rubbed her hands twice with the pads of his fingers, and said gently, “Let’s just have the banquet at the Moonlight Clubhouse, so you can see for yourself that I really just want to go for a drink.”
There was simply no room for her to say no.
…
Kelsey was so worried about Nick that she had two blisters on her lips.
She was afraid that Nick might not survive, and also afraid that Enrico was setting a trap. She didn’t want the Folsom family to go there and get into trouble, so she wanted to go and warn them to bring more people.
Paige stopped her.
“Nick’s situation is obviously… JT’s doing.”
Paige didn’t want this person to get away with doing bad things while dumping on Enrico, so she simply changed her words, “The other day in the tunnel, if he could recognize Nick, he might not be able to recognize you. He pretended not to know you, but you might already be under his surveillance.”
Upon hearing this, Kelsey’s face turned white, and she shrunk down like a little quail. “I used to think my brother-in-law had an intimidating aura, but when you stand next to him, I never feel overly scared.”
But now, her brother-in-law has become very smiley, and when he talks to Paige, he is especially gentle, so gentle that it’s infuriating.
Yes, it’s infuriating.
Especially when he smiles while forcing Paige to treat him, she feels a chill down her spine.
“This is the biggest difference between him and Enrico in terms of their views on relationships.”
Paige stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the new cheongsam she had changed into, “JT is sinister and selfish to the core.”
He kept saying that he loved Hazel, and worked hard to pretend to be just an ordinary clerk in the Chamber of Commerce. On the surface, it seemed like he was trying to understand her feelings, but in reality, he didn’t want to deal with the conflicts that would arise between them once the truth came out.
Because he wanted Hazel to stay with him, but he also knew that he would never change.
