Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 286 Chapter 286 Noelle ... Nicolas stared at her, stunned.

Even Brandons expression darkened as he spat, You actually... The knife in Noelles hand hadnt pierced Nicolas but her own palm.

The blade went clean through, skewering her hand entirely.

Blood spilled down in thick drops, trailing along the metal and splashing to the ground.

Noelle stumbled backward from the pain, her body trembling, sweat beading on her brow.

But in that agony, she found a sliver of clarity.

Gritting her teeth, she looked straight at Brandon, shaking her head.

No, she said hoarsely.

I wont kill Nicolas.

Brandons face turned grim Cone was the calm, composed demeanor replaced by a stormy darkness, Even after tightening the grip of the neural conditioning, she was still resisting Could it be? That the mental imprint the labs psychological branding was actually being overpowered ... by love ? Ridiculous.

His eyes narrowed, and he issued the command again, this tlouder, sharper.

Noelle.

I command you kill Nicolas Now.

The impulse surged again fierce and suffocating.

Her instincts itched to obey.

But Noelle shook her head violently, retreating step by step.

No.

I wont Brandons focus narrowed entirely on her.

That was the opening Nicolas needed.

He fired.

The shot rang out, sharp and sudden.

But it didnt hit Brandon turned his head slightly, and the bullet merely grazed his cheek leaving behind a red trail across his face.

He raised a hand, wiped the blood away, and looked at Nicolas with a mock smile, Cheap shot. Pretty cowardly Nicolas wasnt surprised it didnt work.

Still, it stung to know even with the element of surprise, all he managed was a scratch.

No human could move like that.

But Nicolas didnt flinch.

He held Brandons gaze and smiled coolly.

When facing a monster, I think a little head start is fair .

Brandons expression twisted.

He couldnt stand that even now, Nicolas still looked composed, Its because of him, Brandon thought. Because of this man, Noelle is in pain.

If he didnt exist, everything would be different.

Brandons voice dropped.

Ive made up my mind.

His steps echoed across the ground as he slowly walked toward Nicolas, killing intent burning in his eyes.

Noelle wont fish the job, then III do it myself .

Nicolas expression tightened as he heard the voice.

He could tell that Brandon genuinely intended to kill him .

Despite the dire situation, Nicolas forced himself to stay calm.

letting out a mocking laugh as he taunted.

Didnt you want Noelle to personally sever her emotional ties ? So why are you taking matters into your own hands now! Looks like you dont have much faith in her, huh? .

You dont need to try and provoke me, Brandon replied, his pace unchanged.

He shrugged with a smile, then continued.

Noelle has Chapter 286 been so deeply swayed by you.

Its only right that I eliminate you, this threat, on her behalf.

Its only reasonable, dont you think? Isnt that just admitting your lack of confidence ? Nicolas sneered .

The concept of her ! r killingversus you doing it can they really be the same? Youre no longer sure shell kill me, are you? You were so confident before.

Its laughable.

Say whatever you want, Brandons eyes narrowed with rising murderous today.

With that, Brandon lunged toward Nicolas.

intent.

No matter what you say, youre going to die here Nicolas instinctively moved to dodge, but he was acutely aware of Damons precarious condition.

If he let go, Damon would likely start bleeding again, and there might be no coming back from it . What should he do? Run or stay? While Nicolas struggled with this dilemma, Noelle suddenly rushed forward, shoving Brandon aside Stop! she shouted Brandon, taken completely off guard, nearly lost his balance.

His face darkened with fury as he turned to face the small figure standing in front of Nicolas, Noelle . Noelle stood in front of Nicolas, her eyes full of hostility as she faced Brandon Are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea what youre doing? Brandons smile vanished, replaced by a cold, threatening expression. Noelle, still struggling to free herself from the mental shackles placed by the laboratory, panted heavily. But she clung to her remaining bit of sanity and made a firm decision to protect Nicolas I cant let you hurt Nicolas, she forced herself to say, each word an immense struggle.

Brandon laughed again, his tone cruel.

So, youre going to defy the labs orders for this man, huh? Is that what youre saying, Noelle ? Noelles instinct was to obey.

She had grown up in the laboratory, where following orders was drilled into her from an early age.

She had always complied without question.

But Nicolas had told her that it was okay not to follow those orders.

However, whenever she tried to resist, a stronger mental force urged her to comply, to follow the labs instructions.

Was this what they meant by a mental stamp on her thoughts? Had the lab done this to ensure her obedience ? Not following orders felt like her mind would tear apart.

Noelle was resilient, but she hated pain especially the kind of headaches that reminded her of the torturous brain experiments from her past.

If she had known that disobeying would hurt this much, she probably wouldnt have resisted.

But now she had people to protect, and no matter how much it hurt, she couldnt follow an order that would harm them.

She was Noelle, the highly capable transformer who always completed her missions flawlessly.

She had the power to do anything she set her mind to . How could she let a single command her single m sentence, make her do something she never wanted to do? Besides, she had promised Nicolas she wouldnt let anyone hurt them because of sso called orders. She couldnt break that promise.

After an intense internal struggle, Noelle shook her head fiercely, then faced Brandon directly.

With firm resolve, she said, each word deliberate and unyielding.

Id rather not follow the so called mission than hurt Nicolas, And that includes you, Brandon Jones .

From the moment she met Brandon, she had always addressed him simply as Brandon.

But this time, she used his full name, as symbolize the clear line between them from now on. They were no longer friends.

Brandons eyes flickered as he realized the significance of her words.

He pursed his lips, silent for a moment, as his expression grew more ambiguous, seemingly contemplating something.

if to After a long pause, he let out another soft laugh.

He looked at Noelle, his smile tinged with something darker and asked, Noelle are you really planning to cut ties withcompletely! Yes, Noelle answered resolutely. 2/3 Chapter 286 If she didnt sever ties with Brandon, she wouldnt be able to protect everyone.

What mission? What task? They could all go to hell Brandon felt the fuality in her words.

He realized that even the so called mental stamp couldnt fully break her will.

In the end, she had chosen what mattered to her family and love.

He sighed, an almost bored sound.

Ah... this is getting boring His words sent a chill down Noelles spine, and an ominous feeling settled in her gut Alook of disappointment passed over Brandons face as he spoke, his voice tinged with regret. Noelle, I had high hopes for you.

I never expected you to disappointlike this.

Youre really going to defyfor that man Noelle could only stare at Brandon, unable to respond.

Brandon lazily rolled his neck, cracking his knuckles.

His emerald eyes reflected Noelles image as if the were the only thing in the world, and he smiled at her, his tone final.

Since youve chosen him, Ill have to kill both of you right here.
