The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

“Mom?” Paige let out a mocking laugh. “I’ve never found that word so disgusting before.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Susan wasn’t her mother, but Susan had protected her with her life. Kathy, whom she once called ‘mom’, had only ever hurt and used her.

“No, Paige…” Kathy was so scared that tears started to fall. “Calm down, I really know I was wrong. For the sake of the past, can’t you spare my life?”

“Don’t worry, for the sake of the past, I won’t let you go alone. I’ll make sure Molly joins you soon.”

Hearing this, Molly turned to run, but two bodyguards pinned her down.

Kathy had only one daughter. Upon hearing this, she panicked and explained frantically, “No, Paige. It was all my doing. Molly had nothing to do with it.”

“And Susan had nothing to do with it either.” Paige no longer listened, raising the knife in her hand.

Kathy knew she couldn’t escape this fate. She bit her lip and finally shouted, “I’ll turn myself in!”

“Paige, don’t ruin yourself like this. I’ll turn myself in!”

The knife stopped mid-air.

Kathy’s long hair was soaked with cold sweat. Seeing Paige pause, she knew Paige wasn’t completely indifferent to her words. She continued, “Paige, if you kill me in front of everyone, you won’t escape either. Why ruin yourself? I’ll turn myself in and go to prison, just spare Molly.”

Paige pressed her down, slowly lowering the knife. “Fine, but you must perform poorly in court, lie through your teeth, and show no remorse.”

“You want me to be sentenced to death?” Country A still had the death penalty, and if she showed no remorse for intentional murder, the court would surely sentence her to death.

“A life for a life is only fair,” Paige replied. “And once sentenced, no appeals.”

She wanted Kathy to accept the fastest possible death sentence, with no delays.

Kathy wept. “Paige, are you really this cruel to me?”

“So, can you do it? If you can, I’ll spare Molly. If not, I’ll kill both of you today.”

“Paige…” Kathy wanted to reminisce about how good she had been to her, but Paige coldly cut her off. “Answer now!”

Kathy lay on the crystal coffin, her tear-blurred eyes looking towards Molly. Molly, held by the bodyguards, looked back at her with sorrow. In her eyes, besides sorrow, there was also an unmistakable glimmer of hope and expectation. Her daughter hoped she could save her… Kathy smiled bitterly. “Fine, I’ll turn myself in, I won’t appeal, and I’ll accept the court’s sentence.” Kathy closed her eyes in despair, then asked, “How can I be sure Molly will be safe?”

“Do you think you’re in a position to bargain with me?” Paige retorted coldly. “I said I’d spare her, and I will.”

“If you lie to me, I’ll haunt you every day and night.”

Paige released her grip. “Take her to turn herself in, and send Susan’s body along too.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The bodyguards escorted Kathy and carried the coffin out.

“Mom…” Molly stood there, watching Kathy being taken away, tears streaming down her face.

Kathy was pushed to the door, unable to resist turning back to look at Molly, her eyes filled with final concern. “Molly, you have to live well, don’t fight with Paige anymore, understand? Just live your life well!”

“Enough with the nonsense!” The bodyguard impatiently pushed her away.

Molly turned and glared at Paige, shouting angrily, “Paige, you heartless wretch!”

“Take her away,” Paige said coldly, lifting her foot to leave.

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards began to drag Molly away. Molly cried out in fear, “Paige, what are you going to do? Bryan! Bryan, save me! Are you really going to just watch her do this to me? She’ll kill me!”

Bryan, already stunned by Paige’s series of actions, found himself unable to speak. Seeing Molly being taken away, he felt a pang of pity and followed after them. “Paige, you…”

Paige suddenly turned, raising the knife to Bryan’s face. “Try to stop me?”

“Paige…” Bryan frowned, “I’m not trying to stop you. I just want to know where you’re taking Molly. You promised to spare her life, didn’t you?”

“You want to know? Fine.” Paige tossed the knife to the ground. She glanced around, her eyes landing on the cane Molly had tried to use against her earlier.

Paige walked towards it step by step. Old Mrs. Smith, seeing her approach, fell back into her chair in fear.

Paige ignored her, bending down to pick up the cane from the floor.

Paige held the cane and slowly walked towards Molly. Molly’s face turned pale with fear, and she struggled violently, her wedding dress twisting into a disheveled mess. “What are you doing? What are you going to do? Paige, are you crazy? You bitch, how dare you?”

“Don’t move!” The bodyguards held her firmly.

“Paige, what are you doing?” Bryan looked at Paige in shock.

Paige walked up to Molly, raising the cane slowly. In the next second, she swung it down on Molly’s knee without hesitation.

“Ahhh!” Molly screamed in pain, unable to stand, held up only by the bodyguards.

The servants huddled around old Mrs. Smith, all trembling with fear.

“Molly!” Bryan’s eyes widened in shock.

Paige threw the cane aside, lifting Molly’s chin, staring down at her emotionlessly. “I promised to spare your life, but I never said how that life would be spared.”

She then turned to Bryan. “Now you understand? A person with crippled legs and no ability to take care of themselves will go where? Molly will end up in the slums.”

Bryan stared at her, dumbfounded.

“You… you bitch…” Molly’s vision went black, and she fainted in the bodyguard’s grip.

“Let’s go.” Paige turned and walked away, her face expressionless.

The bodyguards promptly dropped the unconscious Molly to the ground.

Bryan caught up to Paige, grabbing her arm. “Paige, don’t go yet. I have something to ask you.”

“I have nothing to say to you.” Paige coldly removed his hand from her arm, glancing once more at Molly on the ground. “You better get rid of Molly. If you shelter her, the next person I deal with will be you.”

“Paige, we’re not enemies,” Bryan frowned. “And Molly, she’s already…”

At this, Paige let out a cold laugh, cutting him off. Without another word, she turned and walked away, not sparing him another glance.

“Paige…” Bryan tried to follow. Olivia hurriedly caught up and shoved Bryan aside, thinking, What kind of man is this? Daring to argue with our young lady?

Near Rose Estate, there was a long asphalt road lined with dense trees.

Paige jogged along the roadside, sweat beading on her fair face. She didn’t wipe it away, just kept running and running. The road seemed endless, and she had no intention of stopping.

A sleek grey sports car slowly caught up from behind.

The man in the car had one hand lazily draped over the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on her figure. He raised his hand and pressed the horn twice, sharply.

Honk honk.

Paige couldn’t help but slow her pace, greeted by the sight of a flashy sports car.

Enrico eased off the accelerator to match her speed. “I heard you’ve been running for three hours. You’re not planning to escape on those two legs, are you?”

“I just wanted to go out for a walk.”

“Get in the car.”

“I’m all sweaty. It won’t be comfortable sitting in the car. I’ll just run back.”

Paige replied, turning back instead of continuing forward. The car turned around and followed alongside her, neither speeding up nor slowing down.

Paige was surprised he didn’t drive away immediately.
