Would she?
Paige laughed, asking herself, this seems to be a question everyone wants to ask, but she, has never even considered it.
Just as she has never considered putting on a wedding dress for another man.
She laughed frankly, as if his question was just a gentle breeze.
Jaden stood next to her with an umbrella, looking at the smile on her lips. Suddenly, he understood, and he gave a self-deprecating smile.
It was really boring that he would even think about such a question.
“Sister Paige, have a seat.”
Derrick moved a chair behind her, sheltered by the corners of the roof, so the snow wouldn’t fall.
Paige nodded, turned around, walked over, and sat down, hugging her down jacket with both hands.
Lamont and David pushed several surveillance screens next to Paige. These were surveillance cameras from various angles near the city gate in the south district. As long as Enrico showed up, they would be able to keep an eye on everything.
Paige sat in the chair, propping her forehead on her hands and watching. She was afraid that Enrico and Gabriel would come up with endless tricks, so she watched very carefully.
She paid attention to any place with a lot of people, so that the two of them wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of disguising themselves.
Time passed, but the people who should have appeared never did.
“What time is it?”
Paige frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Lamont stood by and watched the surveillance, glanced at the time when he heard her say that, and said, “It’s almost time for the wedding ceremony over there.”
They had analyzed that the most lively time of the wedding would be at the point of the wedding ceremony, when everyone’s attention would be on it. With the firecrackers going off all at once, even if someone reported the news, the sound would be covered.
They would think so, and so would her brother-in-law, so they would definitely use this time to make a break for it.
But now, there was still no sign of movement near the city gates.
“…”
Paige pursed her lips. Could it be that Enrico had not brought Gabriel with him, and that he had already infiltrated the ranks on this side alone?
She was about to get up and check on her people when she saw Alonso and Blanca rushing over in the monitor screen. In a moment, the two of them boarded the city tower with grave expressions on their faces.
“Who arranged the wedding… Paige?”
Alonso’s tone was bad, and he came up with a question. When they saw Paige for a moment, they were stunned again.
The two of them had recently collaborated with Dr. Clinton, Justin and the others to awaken the people in the city, and they had been too busy to rest for a moment, let alone know what major events were happening outside. Suddenly, they heard that Kevin and Paige were getting married, and the two of them rushed over.
“What’s going on?” Paige couldn’t help but ask, seeing that they both looked very serious.
“He said…”
Blanca stood next to Alonso and glanced at him, saying, “A hundred years ago, Leonard and Hazel got married. JT knew that his power at the time could not compete with the Folsom family, and that causing trouble at their home would not help. So he broke his rule of not harming the people for the first time, arrested eight people, and forced the Folsom family to call off the wedding. In the end, JT killed these eight people and left their bodies on the street.”
This marriage also sowed the seeds of the subsequent massacre of the entire Folsom family by JT.
“…”
Upon hearing this, Paige suddenly stood up from her chair and looked at them in shock.
“Enrico is now JT’s mind, so he will definitely take this path,” Alonso’s voice was heavy.
This was a turning point in JT’s life. Before this, no matter how much trouble he caused, he was targeting various large and small families, manipulating them like pieces on a chessboard, making them kill each other. Even if some civilians were caught in the crossfire, he believed that it wasn’t his problem, but that of those greedy and disgusting plutocrats.
But after this, he was completely enraged by Leonard and Hazel.
From then on, he no longer had any principles.
“But I’m not Hazel,” Paige clung to the last shred of hope, “and he knows I’m not Hazel.”
The feelings Enrico had for her now only occasionally surfaced.
She wanted to force him to show himself, but he didn’t show himself, did he? Didn’t he want to escape?
“But he hasn’t shown up at the city gate yet, has he?”
Alonso frowned at her and spoke with a particularly grave tone, “He let you go and your sister go, and your subordinates go, because he thinks like JT. He hasn’t been awakened, but his affection for you has been awakened.”
“…”
Paige stood stiffly on the city wall, her eyes shaking violently.
She had miscalculated again.
She had tried to think like JT to figure out Enrico, but she had miscalculated again. Enrico had only taken a few pistols and left, not to escape lightly, but to arrest people and force the wedding to stop.
“Who are those eight people?” she asked, her legs feeling a little weak.
Seeing this, Blanca quickly took a step forward and helped Paige, “Don’t worry.”
“A hundred years ago, Leonard was well prepared, and no one around him could move, so the eight people were Hazel living on the same street and members of the women’s self-help association,”
Alonso said.
The eight people were killed.
“Why didn’t the Folsom family save them? With Hazel’s kindness, even if it meant taking her life, she would trade it for these eight people,” Paige asked, her tone a little anxious.
Hearing this, Alonso’s gaze fell on Blanca, and after two seconds of silence, he said, “The note threatening to cancel the wedding fell into Leonard’s hands, and he never gave it to Hazel from beginning to end.”
Blanca suddenly turned her head and looked directly at Alonso.
“I’m telling the truth,” Alonso said, lowering his eyes.
Hazel later hated JT so much because from here on out, she thought that JT, unable to get her, slaughtered the people around her to vent his anger and became a complete monster.
At this point, it was useless to argue about who was right and who was wrong a hundred years ago.
Paige squeezed Blanca’s arm, “So where did JT lock up the eight people?”
“This is too detailed, it hasn’t been mentioned, and the situation in the city has changed drastically, unlike a hundred years ago. Enrico will definitely find the safest place to lock them up,” Alonso said.
“Lamont, notify the Folsom family that the wedding will be stopped immediately.”
In the era of a hundred years ago, the wedding was considered complete after the ceremony, which would be the end of JT’s last hope.
Paige decisively assigned tasks, “Jaden, you prepare the car and go with me to find Enrico; Derrick and David, you continue to guard the city gate.”
In case Enrico still wants to escape, someone has to stay here.
“Yes!” The four men answered together.
“I’ll go with you.”
“Me too.”
Alonso and Blanca almost shouted in unison.
Paige grabbed Blanca and ran towards the castle. She got into the car, put her hands on the steering wheel, and gunned the engine.
…
At the Folsom Group mansion, amidst the lively sound of firecrackers and the laughter and applause of the crowd, Nick carried his new bride on his back as he walked step by step on the red carpet towards the decorated hall.
Nick put the bride down with a complex look.
Kevin, sitting in a wheelchair, smiled as he looked at the embroidered pattern of dragons and phoenixes on the veil, and he just felt so beautiful.
He finally got to marry her.
It seemed like he had been waiting for a lifetime.
“Come, come, the red string ties the couple together, the moon god sends blessings, and the marriage is sealed!”
