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.
