Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1084

Paul gritted his teeth and fell silent. He was only putting up an act by beating Jamie to let Gale vent his anger.

Although he was furious, he had never thought about ending Jamie's life. The steel rod was lethal. If he struck Jamie's head with it, the latter would be injured or even lose his life. As such, he couldn't take the risk.

Gale seemed to have seen through his mind as he said grimly, "If you would rather let your sister die, I'll grant your wish."

The next moment, he cut off one of the ropes, after which Alicia sank.

"No!"

Paul extended his hands in an attempt to stop it. Fortunately, Alicia soon stopped falling. He pressed his hand against his chest as he was scared out of his wits. It took him quite a while to calm down.

Gale squatted and thudded the knife against the floor to attract his attention. Then, he stuck out two fingers and ordered, "I'll give you two minutes. If you can't kill Jamie in two minutes, I'll cut off the other rope. Get prepared to see your sister dying."

Since Alicia had sunk a little, she was closer to Paul. As their eyes met, the woman repeatedly shook her head with tearful eyes.

Paul understood what was on her mind. She didn't want Jamie to die because of her. He didn't want to end Jamie's life either. However, apart from their bedridden grandfather, Alicia was his only family member, so how was it possible that he would let her die?

"You're only left with one minute," Gale announced.

"Hey, do you have a sense of time at all? How could one minute pass so soon?" Paul snapped.

"It's up to me. Do you have a problem with that? Now you're left with 20, 19, 18, 17…" Gale started counting down.

"You—"

Paul was so incensed that he couldn't finish his words. He watched as Gale stood up and held the knife beside the only rope left. Instinctively, he turned to Jamie.

While exerting more force with his hand, he dragged the steel rod to the ground and approached the man.

Jamie sat on the ground and closed his eyes, ready for his imminent death. "Do it! I won't blame you. Time is running out. Kill me now!"

Paul lifted the steel rod, and when only ten seconds were left, he forcefully brought down the weapon. However, he stopped when the steel rod was only inches away from Jamie's head and hurled the weapon away.

"I can't do this! I can't!"

He fell to his knees and wailed despondently. "I'm sorry, Alicia! I can't do this! I'm sorry that I can't save you! Don't worry. If you're killed, I'll go to hell with you and apologize to you by then!"

Paul gritted his teeth and fell silent. He was only putting up an act by beating Jamie to let Gale vent his anger.

Alicia's tears streamed down her face as she shook her head. This time, she was moved by her brother's decision. She was glad that no one was hurt because of her. Even if she passed away, she wouldn't have any regrets.

"What a useless guy!" Gale growled, hating the unfairness he was faced with.

Paul was just a good-for-nothing who knew nothing but indulged in physical pleasures. He couldn't even protect his family member. What right did such a weak person have to own everything?

On the other hand, Gale had been working hard for years, but he still lost everything and was hunted down.

This is unfair!

"Alright. Since you've made a choice, open your eyes and see what she'll end up being when she falls to the ground!"
