Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 977

"Back off! I'll kill him if you don't."

As Paul was held hostage, Jamie and the rest of the group had scruples, so they had no choice but to make way for the pair.

Gale abducted Paul to a lawn with an open view and high terrain, and the guests could only watch in silence.

The police, who were waiting to arrest Gale, surrounded the hill, along with the guests. All of them were trying to persuade Gale to plead guilty.

"Mr. Myres, let's talk. We can work it out. Don't burn your bridges."

"Gale Myres, you can't continue like this. Surrender now and you can avoid a death sentence."

"Gale, today is supposed to be a good day. Don't do anything you might regret.!

Their voices became indistinguishable as many people were speaking at once.

Gale kept looking down at his watch. Not only did he ignore their advice, he even yelled at them in frustration. "Shut up! You think of nothing but your interests. I have seen right through you. You want me arrested so you can take credit for it and get on Napoleon's good side, right? Do you think I'm your stepping stone to climbing the social ladder? Dream on!"Flattering the superiors and exploiting the inferiors was a phenomenon in high society, and Gale was accustomed to it. Thus, he could tell what the others had in mind.

He wouldn't give them the chance to humiliate him.

His words managed to shut most people up and put the atmosphere in a stalemate.

Watching the cornered man, Narissa recalled their old times together and felt a pang of pain in her heart. "Gale, you can stop this right now. It's not too late to plead guilty. As long as you realize your mistakes, I'll get you the best lawyer. He'll try his best to minimize your sentence."

However, her words fell on deaf ears as Gale shook his head. "I won't stop. You're free to be a canary and willingly get kept in the cage, but you can't force me to change. I'm an eagle! I deserve to explore my ambitions in the vast sky. But now, I haven't made it to the top and made my name in the world. Right now, nobody has the right to judge me."

At that moment, a roar approached them. All of them looked up at the sky and saw a helicopter closing in, which eventually hovered over Gale.

Overjoyed to see it, he shouted triumphantly at the crowd, "See that? My helper has arrived. It can only mean one thing—I'm too young to be trapped behind bars."

Soon, the helicopter descended and hovered two feet off the ground. The cabin door slid open and the contact poked his head out before waving at Gale. "Mr. Myres, over here!"

Using Paul as his shield, Gale dragged him in the direction of the helicopter.

As expected, when the police noticed his attempt to run away, they drew out their guns and rushed forward.

Gale took the knife from his companion and pulled it down Paul's arm without hesitation. "One more step and I'll kill him right now."

His words gave the police pause as those who rushed forward a while ago retreated to their original spots.

The moment they put their guns down, Gale shoved Paul to the ground before turning around and jumping into the cabin.

The change in situation alerted the police and they immediately fired shots to stop him. However, the bullets only hit the cabin due to the distance between them, and the door slid closed before their eyes. Then, the helicopter quickly ascended into the air, underlining Gale's escape.

In the end, the operation was a failure. The police had no choice but to send Paul to the hospital and record the Cubers' statements before they left for the time being.

All the drama finally came to a close.

However, the guests were still scattered around the manor.

They didn't stay to discuss Gale. Instead, they were curious about the relationship between the Cuber Family and the man in the poster, whose name was Jamie.
