The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

“Hmm… My head hurts…”

On the expansive European-style bed, Paige squirmed under the soft blankets, reaching to her head. She opened her eyes and looked up at the crystal chandelier above.

She shouldn’t have drunk last night, especially since she was staying under someone else’s roof. What if something went wrong because of her drinking?

Paige was about to sit up when she suddenly remembered her last memory was at the soccer field. How could that be…?

Her heart jumped as she turned and saw Enrico lying beside her.

‘Enrico. What was he doing here?’

Paige was about to escape when Enrico pulled her into his arms, his bare arms wrapped around her, his long legs pressing down on her, immobilizing her.

“Where are you going?” Enrico slowly opened his drowsy eyes.

What had happened last night? That was the only question Paige had left.

Enrico leaned over suddenly and kissed her lips, his voice lazy, “I told you, don’t run around without my command, or I’ll break your legs. Can’t you understand that?”

Paige didn’t move, slowly clenching her fists, calculating the probability of knocking him out and successfully escaping. But Enrico suddenly looked at her and chuckled, “You’re just a fool. You never understand, do you?”

‘Huh? What’s going on?’ Paige wondered in her mind, unsure of what had happened.

“Get up.” Enrico sat up directly from the bed without doing anything to her.

She was led out of the room by him. She was wearing a loose nightgown, like a little pet being led behind Enrico.

In the living room, Olivia and Susan were trembling on their knees, pale.

Jaden and a few bodyguards stood aside. “I told you to watch over Miss, but you all fell asleep. She ran hundreds of meters away to the soccer field and drank herself into a stupor with beer cans from the trash can! If I hadn’t happened to be nearby, she would be lost by now!”

The two maids were reprimanded so severely that they dared not utter a word.

“Miss has a problem with her mind, and you didn’t even keep an eye on her properly. If she had run into the lake one day, how would you explain that to the boss?”

Paige followed behind Enrico step by step down the stairs.

From Jaden’s words, they thought she was having an episode, running around the soccer field and picking up beer cans to drink?

She remembered now, there were some beer cans next to the trash cans at the soccer field. This speculation seemed plausible.

But…

Paige looked up at the man leading her. He was Enrico, the CEO of the first financial conglomerate in Country A. Could he really not see through her?

In the living room, Olivia and Susan practically crawled forward, pleading desperately, “Mr. Gustin, it’s all our fault. We didn’t take care of Miss properly. Please forgive us this time. We promise we’ll never do it again.”

“Please… Spare us…”

Both of them begged earnestly.

Enrico led Paige to sit on the central sofa.

“Mr. Gustin, we’ll make sure to keep an eye on Miss 24/7 from now on.” Olivia trembled in fear.

Enrico casually draped his hand over Paige’s shoulder, looking down at the kneeling pair. “The little lunatic doesn’t understand reason, so I won’t punish her this time. But you…”

He leaned back, showing his indifference, and waved his hand casually, saying lightly, “Break their legs and throw them out.”

“Yes.”

The bodyguards didn’t hesitate. They immediately wielded rattan sticks that were already prepared nearby and struck the legs of the two maids.

“Ah-”

With these blows, both of them collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.

“Ah!”

“Mr. Gustin, spare us, please! We know we were wrong.”

Another scream rang out. Olivia crawled forward, reaching out to grab Enrico’s trouser leg.

Enrico glanced down with a hint of displeasure, directly kicking her away.

The bodyguards mercilessly continued to strike with their sticks. Jaden stood silently by the side, watching as if this was nothing new to him.

Paige didn’t hesitate. She stood up abruptly and rushed towards them, kneeling between the two, shielding Olivia and Susan under her arms.

She pretended to look foolish, trembling all over, and muttered intermittently, “Don’t hit… don’t hit…”

The two bodyguards were in the momentum of their actions, ready to strike again with their rattan sticks.

“Ah ah ah ah ah-”

Paige screamed at the top of her lungs, her sharp voice filling the entire living room with fear, almost causing the two bodyguards to drop their sticks in fright.

Even Enrico had to cover his ears from her piercing cries.

Paige tightly protected the two maids, shaking uncontrollably. Her pale face was full of fear, resembling a startled deer.

Olivia and Susan turned to look at her. Seeing her in such distress while still protecting them, their eyes welled up with tears.

“Miss, don’t do this. Be careful not to get hit,” Olivia said anxiously.

Jaden watched Paige acting foolish and sickly, thinking to himself: What is she pretending for? Last night at the Heaven Hotel, surrounded by a crowd, she showed no fear at all. Now just forcing these two maids to kneel and apologize, and suddenly she’s acting all weak and helpless.

The two bodyguards looked perplexed, glancing at Enrico uncertainly, unsure whether to proceed.

“It seems my little lunatic isn’t completely insane yet. Are you trying to protect them?” Enrico remarked casually, his tone unchanged. “Too bad. My word has never changed.”

Understanding his implication, the bodyguards moved forward to pull Paige away.

Paige immediately threw herself at Enrico’s feet, clutching his pants desperately, her eyes pleading as she murmured, “Don’t hit, don’t hit.”

However, deep down, she was contemplating her next move-she might have to risk it all to escape with Susan and Olivia. She couldn’t bear the thought of them getting their legs broken because of her.

Enrico watched her grip his pants, a hint of amusement crossing his eyes. “Is this how you beg?”

How else was she supposed to beg? How does a mentally unstable patient beg? Paige couldn’t decipher Enrico’s intentions, so she continued pleading, pulling at his pants over and over again, “Don’t hit, don’t hit…”

Enrico slowly leaned down towards her, lowering his head and pointing to his cheek. His voice was low and husky. “Give me a kiss?”

Damn it. Paige cursed inwardly.

Seeing her unmoved, Enrico glanced at her sideways and uttered a single word, “Continue.”

The bodyguards immediately raised their rattan sticks again.

Paige’s hand clenched tightly at her side. She gritted her teeth, lifted her head, and pecked him on the cheek swiftly.

Enrico’s gaze flickered. He stared straight at her, his eyes unusually deep.

A dead silence fell over the living room.

After a moment, he suddenly chuckled softly, reaching out to pinch her chin. “That’s a good girl. Alright, today I’ll spare them because of you.”

Upon hearing this, not only were the bodyguards stunned, but even Olivia and Susan, who had been beaten, were in utter shock.

The first time.

The first time someone had been forgiven by Mr. Gustin for making a mistake.

Jaden stared at the scene in disbelief. No wonder the boss didn’t want Paige exposed. Was this some kind of special hobby of his? Forcing a fierce girl to play dumb and kiss him-would that kiss taste especially good?
