Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 288 Chapter 288 As soon as Bennett finished speaking, Brandon vanished in a blur appearing right in front of him .

In the blink of an eye, Brandons hand was wrapped around Bennetts throat.

Gone was the composed, confident man from before.

His expression was vicious, rage burning in his emerald eyes.

You really think you can pull tricks onand live to talk about it? he snarled.

Bennett choked under the pressure but still managed a defiant smirk.

Like doing everything you say wouldve keptalive anyway.

Brandon, your arrogance will be your downfall .

Brandon laughed coldly, tightening his grip.

You couldve lived a little longer, but since you had to open your mouth- He was ready to crush Bennetts windpipe when Noelle lunged forward, bloodied knife in hand.

She pressed it firmly to Brandons neck.

voice sharp and unwavering.

Brandon.

Let him go.

Brandon turned his head, her reflection caught in his eyes, momentarily dulled by a mix of emotions.

He hadnt expected to be cornered like this.

Killing Noelle was supposed to be simple now he had her memories.

He could recreate her a thousand times if needed.

But thanks to Bennetts interference, that certainty was gone.

If he made a wrong move now... he might lose Noelle forever.

You really think that little knife matters ? Brandon asked quietly.

Blood was still dripping from Noelles wounded palm, the shand she had stabbed earlier to break the labs control over her.

Youre bleeding.

Brandon said, reaching g out to grab her hand.

You need to stop the bleeding- But Noelle quickly pulled away.

Dont touch me, she warned. Let Bennett go.

Now For the first time, Brandon looked almost ... defeated.

His voice softened.

You really know how to use my weaknesses against me, huh? One little knife and youve gotcornered? Then , with a swift motion, Brandon closed the distance between them, snatched the knife from her grasp, and grabbed her wrist before she could escape.

A slight pull, and she was back in his arms.

Noelles face went pale.

She tried to struggle, but Brandon shot her a cold glare.

Try anything, and III kill everyone here.

You know you cant stop me.

He was right.

She couldnt.

So Noelle went still, glaring at him with all the fury and helplessness she had, Brandon, unfazed, tore a strip from his own shirt and gently began wrapping her injured hand.

His movements were slow and careful, almost tender, as if he couldnt bear to see her hurt.

It was surreal seconds ago, hed nearly killed her.

Now he was tending to her wounds like a doting lover.

Everyone held their breath, watching Brandon in silence, unsure what hed do next.

For now, all their lives hung in his hands.

After finishing the bandage, Brandon suddenly turned to Bennett and asked.

You werent lying, were you? That memory chip is really incomplete ? Bennett snorted. If you think Im bluffing, go ahead.

Kill us all.

But dont ccrying when the new Noelle wakes up and doesnt even know your name. Brandon didnt speak.

After a pause, he turned to Noelle with a smile that didnt reach his eyes.

Tell me, Noelle.

If I kill everyone here, would you fight? Yes, she said without hesitation.

And if I cant kill you, Ill kill myself.

Her voice was firm.

Steady.

Final.

Brandon let out a breath of laughter.

Fine, I admit it I underestimated Bennett.

Guess youre more useful than I thought.

He tossed a glance at Bennett, then sighed tically.

III let everyone live .

But theres a condition.

Noelles eyes narrowed.

What condition ? 1/2 Chapter 288 Noelle free.

Brandon chuckled.

What, did you think Id just walk away empty handed after all this? That Im skind of saint? He wasnt. Noelle knew that better than anyone.

From the very start, Brandon had always been dangerous brilliant, powerful, and terrifying Shed just been too naive to realize how far hed go Its an easy choice, Noelle, Brandon said with a smile .

Stay, and they all die.

Cwith me, and they live.

Whats it going to be? Noelles lips parted.

She was just about to answer when Noelle Nicolass voice broke through him .

He was staring at her, eyes locked on hers.

He didnt need to say it.

She already knew what he meant.

He couldnt stop her from going.

Not right now.

Not without getting everyone else killed.

And even if he was selling to die for her, what about the others? The Andersons. The staff.

The innocents.

So Nicolas forced a smile, pushing every ounce of heartbreak deep down, and said, Dont worry.

Ill cfor you.

Noelles eyes filled with tears, but she nodded and smiled back.

Till be waiting Brandon scoffed.

How touching he muntered, and wrapped an arm around Noelle, forcing her to turn away.

Her gaze swej over everyone one last tDamon lying unconscious m background vand Nicolas, and finally; lack to care of Damon, she whispered. And Nicolas... Il be waiting for you.

He checked Damons injury bad, but the knife had missed the heart.

We were lucky, he said.

Wheres the ambulance? Call them As Damon was taken away.

Nicolas turned to Bennett.

That memory chip ... was it really incomplete ? * Bennett raised an eyebrow.

Of course.

What, you think Id risk all our lives on a bluff? Nicolas fell silem, both reassured and deeply uneasy.

Brandon was far more dangerous than hed anticipated.

hed Looking at Stanley, whod stayed uncharacteristically quiet, Nicolas asked, Can you kick a tree in half? Stanley blinked, What? Nicolas pointed toward the massive tree Brandon had split with one kick. He did that.

One foot Stanley stared.

The tree trunk was as thick as a grown mans torso.

Its base was a mess of jagged splinters.

Holy shit, he whispered.

Brandons that kind of psycho? Nicolas nodded slowly.
