Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1089

Taven assumed they were his son's friends, so he let go of Bridgette and rose to his feet.

"That's kind of you. Let's talk inside."

After getting his permission, the siblings entered with their gifts. Alicia was polite as always, while Paul wore a scowl on his face.

Noticing that Jamie was behaving rather differently, Alicia couldn't help but frown. "What's wrong with him?"

Bridgette heaved a sigh upon hearing the innocent question.

Taven also sighed heavily before explaining, "He hurt his head, so he's now behaving like a child. Nobody knows how long he will take to recover."

Surprised, Alicia covered her mouth with her hand as her eyes widened in shock and doubt. Soon, the emotions were replaced by a glint of guilt.

He could've avoided getting hurt in the first place if it wasn't for saving me. It would not have been like this. I owe him so much that I can never repay the debt.

Paul wasn't expecting such an outcome either. His scowl slightly softened as guilt washed over him.

A somber mood instantly enveloped the room.

The thought of Jamie's condition caused Taven's blood to boil. He tightly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "The culprit needs to watch out because I'm going to make them pay for hurting my son!"

The siblings visibly stiffened at his determined words.

Even though Taven threatened to avenge Jamie, Paul wasn't planning to deny his responsibility in Jamie's current condition. Thus, he came clean to Taven. "I'm one of them. I hurt him with a mace."

"What the hell did you just say?" Taven grabbed Paul by his collar. "You punk! How dare you have the face to show up after hurting my son? You'll regret getting on the bad side of the Kellers!"

"I wouldn't have shown up here if I was afraid of the consequences." Paul had nothing to lose as he stated, "I'll have you know that I'll still do the same if it happens one more time. Your son deserves it."

The moment he finished his words, Taven's fist met his cheek. The impact knocked his head to the side.

Paul bore it without a word. Even more, he raised his chin with a challenging look on his face.

He asked for it! Taven thought. Therefore, he raised his hand again to give Paul another blow to the face. How dare he hurt my son?!

Before Taven could land another punch to Paul's face, Alicia interfered. "Please stop, Mr. Keller. It's not how it looks. Paul didn't have a second choice at that time. He didn't mean to hurt Jamie."

"Did he, now? Take a look at him! I see no regret on his face! Jamie is doomed if he can't get better. This guy deserves to rot in prison."

"Rot in prison? What about your son? He's two-timing his fiancée! Furthermore, he ruined my sister's reputation. I'll hold him accountable to it."

Surprisingly, Paul's outburst calmed both parties down and prevented the situation from getting worse. Taven withdrew his hand while Bridgette rose to her feet. The couple turned their attention to Narissa, seeking an answer to see whether Paul's words were true or not.

Narissa took a deep breath before telling them everything. "He's telling the truth. Jamie and I broke up for the exact same reason. Moreover, Miss Heidelberg is now pregnant with Jamie's child. It seems like you have sorted things out. If so, I'll be going and leave the rest to you."

After that, she began to walk away without turning back.

"Wait! Don't leave Jamie alone!"

"Stop right there! Aren't you ashamed of what you did? You aren't going anywhere! Keep an eye on him."
