The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Enrico pulled her back forcefully, his face close to hers, his deep eyes locking onto her. His voice was seductively husky. “Little one, a man admiring a woman’s body anytime, anywhere isn’t humiliation.”

Paige stood still, her face expressionless. Enrico took her hand, and when he looked down, he saw her hand clenched.

Enrico’s expression also grew cold as he harshly snapped the soft tape measure in his hand. Just as Paige wondered if he might strangle her with it, he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, we’ll measure with your clothes on!”

Paige’s gaze shifted slightly. Since the dinner party, he had been much more agreeable. She slowly unclenched her fist and extended her arms for him to measure. The tape measure wrapped around her waist. Paige glanced down, curious if she had indeed gained weight recently. But before she could see, he pulled her into his arms.

“Are you done?”

“Almost.” Enrico reluctantly touched her waist again before tossing the tape aside and taking her hand to lead her out, telling Jaden her measurements.

Jaden noted everything down. Enrico looked at Paige. “What else do you want to buy?”

“Nothing.”

“That won’t do. When I, Enrico, give a woman something, it can’t just be a few pieces of clothing.” Enrico said, dissatisfied. His gaze fell on her light pink lips, and a thought crossed his mind. “I know something you definitely want.”

With that, he pulled her along.

Paige looked down at their clasped hands, their fingers interlocked like a couple.

Enrico led her into a goods supermarket in the mall.

Paige was puzzled as to why they were in a supermarket when he pulled her to a shelf.

The shelves were filled with an array of candies from top to bottom, in all sorts of flavors and brands.

Enrico grabbed a can of mint candy and tossed it aside. Jaden caught it quickly.

Seeing so many mints, Enrico decided to take a can of every brand, tossing them one by one to Jaden and the bodyguards, who were struggling to catch them all.

This was getting interesting.

“That’s enough,” Paige stopped him.

“Oh.” Enrico stopped, opened a can of candy, unwrapped a piece, and brought it to her lips.

Paige didn’t move, and Enrico said, “You usually eat this brand, don’t you?”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

He even knew which brand she ate. Paige opened her mouth and took the candy, the cool and sweet flavor spreading across her tongue.

Enrico watched her, a smile tugging at his lips. “Why do you have such a sweet tooth?”

He unwrapped a mint for himself and popped it into his mouth, wincing slightly at the sweetness but not spitting it out, tasting the same flavor as hers.

“If you don’t like it, don’t eat it,” Paige said, noticing his wince.

Hearing this, Enrico leaned against the shelf, moving closer to her. In a low voice, he said, “If you say I’m humiliating you by kissing you in public, then this is the only way I can taste what’s in your mouth.”

Maybe it was because he was so close, his breath hot on her face, that Paige felt her heart start to race, her face heating up. She turned her gaze away, looking elsewhere. “Can we go back now?”

“No.”

Enrico took her hand and led her away again. That night, Paige finally experienced what it means to be with the CEO of the top conglomerate in Country A. While others take their girlfriends shopping for clothes and jewelry, he was different-he almost gifted her the entire mall.

Tired from shopping, they found a place to sit and rest. With no staff around, Jaden went into the coffee shop himself, figured out the coffee machine, and brought over two cups of hand-ground coffee.

They sat in a rest area near the escalator, where they could see the entire mall through the clear glass railing. Enrico sat beside her, watching her.

Paige added two sugar cubes to her coffee and stirred it gently with a stick. She was getting used to Enrico’s constant gaze.

“I heard you started Peak Club.”

Enrico’s deep voice suddenly broke the silence.

Paige paused her stirring and looked up at Enrico. Was this the main point of tonight? She set down her coffee and nodded. “Yes.”

“When I saw that painting today, I knew you still hadn’t given up on your daydream.”

Enrico looked at her intently. So, he had Jaden check on her recent activities at school, and sure enough, she had done something quite impressive. It was said that now almost all 30, 000 students were her fans.

Daydream. It was an accurate summary. Paige smiled, a bit bitterly, but her determination remained. “Yes, I haven’t given up, and I don’t plan to.”

“The Elite Club isn’t just a few students. Going against them is asking for trouble.”

Paige was silent. She knew but didn’t care.

“Jaden,” Enrico called out, taking a sip of his black coffee, the bitterness on his tongue erasing the previous sweetness.

Jaden stepped forward. “Miss, the Elite Club is a longstanding establishment recognized by almost all conglomerates. It has a deep-rooted history and is widely accepted by the public.”

Paige listened quietly, not saying a word.

“Even the current president came from the Elite Club,” Jaden continued, looking at Paige with a sigh. “So, Miss, do you know how many people you’ve offended with your actions today? If Peak Club gains traction, your life could be in danger.”

Paige remained silent.

Enrico snorted coldly, holding his coffee cup. “By then, even if I don’t announce you’re my woman, there will be so many people wanting to kill you.”

“Including you?” Paige suddenly asked, looking straight into his eyes.

Enrico looked at her, silent.

After a long while, he put down his coffee cup, his eyes cold. “What are you trying to say?”

“You don’t want descendants, so you don’t care about long-term plans. Even if I build up Peak Club, it won’t affect your position, right?”

Paige looked at him intently, almost saying outright, “In that case, please don’t stop me.”

“It won’t affect my position,” he replied, the light highlighting his chiseled features. “But I want a woman who can stay with me, not someone who’s being hunted down every day.”

“Then I can leave,” Paige blurted out.

As soon as she said it, Enrico’s gaze turned even darker, glaring at her.

After a moment, he let out a cold laugh. “Do you think that’s possible?”

Paige knew clearly that if Enrico disapproved, he had countless ways to ensure Peak Club would never succeed.

“End Peak Club, and I’ll give you anything you want.” As expected, Enrico stated the real purpose of tonight, his voice low and commanding, leaving no room for negotiation.

“You know my ultimate goal: the slums.”

Everything she did now was for that goal.

“Paige, I’ve told you before about the survival of the fittest in this world. People in the slums are eliminated by fate. Why pity them?” Enrico said sternly.

“And your mother and sister’s deaths, do you think they were also fate’s elimination? None of those people in the slums committed any crimes, so why should they be eliminated?” Paige asked, holding back her emotions.

Paige stood up and bowed her head slightly to him. “I’m sorry if I offended you. I shouldn’t bring up the deceased like that.”

After saying this, she turned and walked out.

Enrico watched her back, his sudden anger dissipated by her simple, quiet apology. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up to leave.
