Chapter 304 Two Gunshots
Paige felt a sudden chill down her spine; the answer she sought was right in front of her!
Her gaze followed Xena's finger as she slowly turned to look.
Xena's fingertip was pointing directly at Francesca, who was not far behind Paige.
Feeling Paige's gaze, Francesca instantly erupted in fury.
"Xena, are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying? Who told you to frame me?"
Francesca's emotions flared up instantly, her anger was palpable.
Louis was also staring at Francesca with his mouth slightly agape in surprise.
Even though he had considered this possibility, when Xena pointed directly at Francesca, Louis was still taken aback.
Paige's gaze was as sharp as a blade dipped in poison, fixed on Francesca.
Francesca's heart felt as though it had fallen into a freezing pit with just one glance—actually, only a fleeting moment of eye contact.
She was so afraid of getting to this position that she had even begun to use Louis.
But ultimately, step by step, she was driven here.
Francesca suddenly averted her eyes from Paige's gaze, turning her head to the side and breathing heavily, her chest heaving.
Unable to hide her emotions, she spoke with a hint of desperation, "Don't look at me like that, please!"
Paige turned around and walked towards Francesca, step by step.
Her gaze, like a cold and poisoned sword, was fixed on Francesca. She pointed at Xena and sternly questioned Francesca, "Last time, she told me you wanted to kill my mother."
"I controlled my emotions and thought rationally, not believing just her words."
"But now, tell me, Francesca, did you go to the hospital, destroy the surveillance, drug the security outside the ward, and the medical staff inside, to kill my mother?"
Paige's voice grew louder with each word. Francesca avoided her gaze from start to finish.
Paige's gaze seemed to carry a mysterious power of judgment, piercing through the hardest armor of her soul!
Francesca dared not look directly!
As Paige's words fell, the entire room fell silent, not even a mosquito dared to make a sound.
Francesca tormented inside, shook her head and defended herself in a low voice. "No, I didn't..." As Francesca's defense grew louder, she finally lunged towards the culprit in the room.
"Xena, you bastard, a lowlife, how dare you frame me?"
Saying this, Francesca tried to rush past Paige to get to Xena.
But just as Francesca was about to brush past Paige, Paige extended her right arm, blocking her.
Paige's voice was low. "Killing her in front of me would only confirm her accusations, wouldn't it, Francesca?"
Francesca froze beside Paige's outstretched arm, her gaze like a murderous knife fixed on Xena's throbbing carotid artery.
Xena smiled, revealing two rows of blood-stained teeth. "The Carnegie family, that I once dreamed of marrying into, is actually this chaotic."
"Isn't that just fantastic? How great!"
Paige, seeing you suffer like this, I can die without regret!"
With Xena's outburst, Francesca immediately seized the opportunity and said to Paige, "Paige, did you hear that? This is her scheme; she wants to see our Carnegie family in turmoil, to see us fight."
"She's slandering, framing."
"She's about to die and still wants to frame me. She just wants us to fight, so you won't have a peaceful life, Paige, don't be fooled by her words!"
Francesca finally breathed a sigh of relief because Xena's premature joy had exposed her true intention of making Paige suffer.
Smart people always know how to seize opportunities.
Clearly, Francesca was one of those.
Paige glanced at Francesca indifferently. She didn't deny that Francesca had caught the flaw in Xena's excited words, but just this alone wouldn't make her give up on pursuing the truth!
And at this moment, what Paige needed to do was provoke again!
She quickly turned around, and mocked, "Did you hear that? Your little tricks are nothing in front of smart people, not even worth mentioning."
Francesca, in her urgent state, didn't think much about Paige's words and followed up, "Xena, you can't use these slanders to provoke us."
After saying this, Francesca suddenly looked at Paige. Paige truly was without giving anything away, always controlling her emotions.
She bore immense pain and sorrow, and hatred for Xena, yet remained clear-headed.
She was provoking Xena!
Enraged Xena would lose her mind and reveal everything.
And Francesca, in her desperation to protect her secret, had inadvertently fallen into Paige's trap.
Francesca's gaze at Paige was extremely complex. It seemed to be a mixture ofsurprise, bewilderment, and even a hint of conforted joy.
But what exactly it was, Paige couldn't discern even when they made eye contact.
As Paige expected, upon seeing Paige and Francesca standing together, Xena erupted even more maniacally.
"Provoking? Paige, you're standing with the enemy who killed your mother, how ridiculous, truly ridiculous."
"She just didn't have time to kill Mrs. Parker, otherwise, Mrs. Parker wouldn't have died by my hand but by Francesca's."
"And you're still standing with her right now. How can you comfort your mom's soul?"
"Also, Paige, she destroyed the surveillance, and drugged everyone inside and outside the ward, do you think she was just visiting Mrs. Parker?"
"No, she wasn't."
"I saw her strangle Mrs. Parker with my own eyes."
Hearing this, Francesca loudly and emotionally retorted, "I didn't, you're lying, you're crazy, you should be executed as soon as you are caught."
As she spoke, Francesca's body moved dramatically, her eyes searching around as if looking for a weapon.
But Xena didn't stop, "I saw it with my own eyes, I also saw your hand pulling down..."
Before Xena could finish, Raymond suddenly shouted, "Louis, stop..."
Everyone's eyes turned to Raymond, only to see Louis had somehow taken a gun from Raymond.
In an instant, before anyone could react, two gunshots rang out.
Paige looked at the smoke from the gun barrel, then turned to Xena, only to see blood trickling from the corner of Xena's mouth.
