Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1084 I Can’t Do This
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!"
Gale lifted the knife, ready to end everything.
"Wait a minute!"
Before the rope was cut off, Jamie got to his feet with difficulty.
"You just want me to die. I'll grant your wish. What's the point of you venting your fury on her?"

Then, he took one last look at Alicia. The next moment, he crashed his head into the column without hesitation and blacked out.
The crash was so loud that it reverberated across the place. It didn't seem like he was putting up an act.
An agitated Alicia swayed as she had lost control. Nevertheless, she could only cry out in a muffled voice.
Meanwhile, Paul was dumbfounded as he hadn't expected Jamie to do such a thing.
"Hahaha!" Gale laughed madly. "That's more like it! The risk I've taken is worth it! That's such a good show!"
At this point, Paul had to calm himself down and deal with this issue. "Since you've achieved your goal, release her at once!"
"Sure. I'll release her now. You'd better catch her!"
Gale's gaze darkened. The next instant, he lifted the knife and slashed it at the rope.
Just then, a figure jumped in through the window and landed a forceful kick on Gale, who rolled on the ground before getting to
his feet and trying to flee.
Certainly, Narissa wouldn't give him a chance to run away. She raced after the man and grabbed his clothes before pulling him
back. The moment the man fell to the ground, she pressed her knee against his neck.
Nonetheless, she was dumbfounded when she took off his face mask, for that person wasn't Gale!
Unlike Gale, the person had tanned skin. Other than being of the same gender, he looked nothing like Gale.
But I heard his voice just now!
Narissa looked around the place and soon found a loudspeaker on the floor. There was also a camera on the ceiling.
I see. Gale has been controlling this puppet from somewhere else. He's not been here since the beginning.
Realizing that something had happened, Gale said provocatively through the loudspeaker, "I guess Narissa is there. I knew you
would come. Unfortunately for you, I've outsmarted you. You can never catch me!"
Narissa directly knocked the person out and stood up. Then, she took a look at the camera and shattered it.

Meanwhile, Gale shuddered in shock. When he came to his senses, he continued to agitate the woman by saying, "So what if
you look down on me? The man you've chosen has impregnated another woman. Narissa, you're nothing more than a joke. You
—"
Certainly, Narissa wouldn't give him a chance to be smug, so she directly destroyed the loudspeaker.
Had she responded to him, the man would've been more puffed up. The best way to deal with him was to ignore him. Just as
Narissa expected, Gale was furious at the fact that he was cut off before he could finish his words, so he started smashing things
up.
Then, Narissa and Paul worked together to put Alicia down before sending Jamie back for treatment. Jamie only suffered from
some flesh wounds, and his head had merely swollen. As such, Zephyr just needed to dress up his wounds.
When he left the operating room and saw Narissa waiting, he placated her by saying, "I've treated his wounds. He'll likely wake
up tomorrow. Why don't you go back and get some rest?"
"If I had made a move earlier, he wouldn't have been so badly injured." Narissa frowned. "There's one thing I don't understand,
though. Jamie knew I would launch a sneak attack, so he just had to put on an act. Why did he still forcefully crash into the
column?"
"Don't blame yourself. His brain is hurt, and it's not necessarily because of today's incident. Perhaps his brain was already
damaged when both of you fell off the cliff back then. His condition is serious this time because he's hurt once again."
