Bring Your A Game, Mr

"You know deep down who the monster is!" Jamie wasn't afraid of Gale's accusation since he knew he had done nothing wrong.

"I won't call the police for the sake of Alicia. She needs to rest, so please leave this instant!" Gale ordered Jamie like he was the owner of the house.

Then, he pushed Jamie to the side and went to open Alicia's door.

At that moment, Jamie couldn't suppress the anger in him.

He grabbed Gale by the collar and pushed him against the wall. "You son of a b*tch. Don't act like you are innocent! I dare you to say that Alicia's matter had nothing to do with you?!"

"Of course. It has nothing to do with me." Gale squinted his eyes as a hint of glint flashed across. "I have already found those who had hurt her. Why do you think she would have gone to such a place? That's because she wanted to prove you innocent. This happened to her because of you. You are the real culprit behind this!"

"What are you talking about? Don't you dare talk sh*t in front of me!" As Jamie spoke, he raised his fist.

How can it be me?

Alicia and I are just friends. She doesn't have to bet her dignity on it.

Thinking about it, Jamie couldn't withstand such consequences and would rather believe that this was just Gale's lie.

Jamie punched him in the face without hesitation. "You b*stard! I'm going to kill you!"

After Gale had fallen to the ground by Jamie's punch, Jamie immediately pounced on him. When Gale covered his head with his arms, Jamie punched his arms and ears, seemingly as if he was getting revenge.

At that moment, Jamie didn't know if he did it out of anger or because he couldn't handle the truth.

At this moment, the door opened, and out came Alicia. "Stop it!"

She rushed out of the room and pulled Jamie away from Gale.

When Alicia pulled Jamie away, he staggered for a moment before standing on his ground. Under the lights, he could see the bruises on Alicia's face and some cuts that weren't shown in the picture. Her youthful face was now bruised and swollen.

A hint of glint flashed across Jamie's eyes, and he almost couldn't recognize her.

At that moment, he hesitated. "Alicia... Did you really go there because of me?"

I said it... I asked her...

A tear slipped out of Alicia's eyes when she listened to his words. Then, she turned her head aside and didn't say anything, seemingly agreeing with his statement in silence.

At that moment, Jamie's eyes reddened, and he asked, "Why? How can you be such a fool?"

Alicia sniffled and looked at him coldly. "It has nothing to do with you. I did it to myself. Just go."

Alicia knew Gale's personality. He was fair and had done his best not to call the cops when he saw how badly injured she was. If they were to delay it any longer, he would have sent Jamie to jail.

Since she did everything out of consciousness and had never wanted Jamie to repay her, Jamie didn't need to be responsible for what she had gone through. Most importantly, she was a sl*t in the public eye. Hence, she didn't have the right to be with Jamie anymore. All she could do right now was to let him go.

On the other hand, Jamie looked at her with teary eyes. He couldn't budge, as if his legs were stuck to the ground.

Looking at him, Alicia roared hoarsely. "Are you waiting for me to die in front of you? Will you leave then? If that is so, I will kill myself right now!"

"Alright, I'm going! Don't get mad. I'm leaving now..." Afraid that he would provoke her even more, he left after glaring one last time at Gale.

As soon as Jamie left, Gale smiled slightly and got up.

He walked toward Alicia and said, "Don't worry, Alicia. I..."

Bang!

Before Gale could finish his words, Alicia had already returned to her room and slammed her door shut, not giving him a chance to say anything. After all, she was a walking dead and couldn't give a darn about anything.

Meanwhile, when Narissa went to Elise, she heard Jamie complaining to the others about Alicia.

"That silly girl. She had believed that she would be able to help me prove innocence if she were to go to the red-light district. Then, she took the money and went there. Tell me, how can there be such a foolish person..." Jamie couldn't accept the fact that he had dragged an innocent person into hell. He didn't know how to make it up to Alicia. At this moment, he was lost and couldn't think of anything.

When Narissa heard his words, she was stunned.

Before she came here, she had seen the news and thought that it was an incident. However, at this moment, it seemed that this matter had something to do with others.

If I didn't refuse to help Alicia when she came to me, maybe she wouldn't have trusted others and let those bad guys have the opportunity to hurt her.

However, no one would have expected such a thing to happen. There is nothing we can do other than feel pity for her. Everyone has their destiny.

Just as Narissa was in thought, a figure dashed out from her side and entered the lobby. In that split second, the figure pounced on Jamie and punched him.

"You b*stard! I have told you not to mess with my sister. Now, look at what you did! She is in this state because of you! How is she going to live the rest of her life? I'm going to kill you!" As Paul spoke, he punched Jamie's face ruthlessly.

At that moment, Elise tried to step up and pull them apart. However, when Alexander saw that Jamie didn't fight back, he stopped Elise from stopping them.

"This..." Elise was nervous and looked at Alexander pleadingly.

"Paul will kill him..."

"No, he won't. Paul can't hurt Jamie with such little strength."

Only when Alexander reminded Elise did she realize that Paul was just an ordinary person. No matter how strong Paul was, he couldn't have hurt Jamie, who had worked out and had the body of a bodybuilder.

After a few minutes, Jamie only had a cut on his lips when he didn't even dodge Paul's attacks. He just lay there lifelessly, seemingly wanting to end his life.

Just kill me... That way, I don't have to live with this sin anymore.

At that moment, Paul might have lost his mind in anger. While punching Jamie, he grabbed a chair by the side and was going to land the blow on Jamie. Watching the scene, Narissa couldn't withstand it anymore and kicked Paul and the chair away from Jamie.

"That's enough!"

"No!" Paul got up from the floor and grabbed the chair that had broken in half angrily. "He destroyed my sister! He deserves to rot in burning hell!"

Jamie coughed and raised his hand to stop Narissa from intervening. "It's fine, Narissa. Let him do what he wants."

Hearing his words, Narissa glanced at him coldly. "I despise you, Jamie."

Then, she turned toward Paul. "If I remember correctly, Jamie had offended Gale for the Heidelbergs. If he was wrong for doing so, what about you? You are worthless and stupid. If you didn't believe in Gale, none of this would have happened. Hence, you are worse than Jamie, so why are you trying to play saint now?"

At that moment, her words were like knives stabbing Paul's heart. In that split second, Paul knelt on the ground and regretted it deeply.

She is right. I am the worthless being here...

How can I blame others when I can't even protect my own sister?
