When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 130
Soon, David obtained information about the team of workers.
There were seven of them.
They did not know how many of the seven people were suspicious. Gabriel did not rule out the possibility that a group of people had committed the
crime.
It was also possible that all seven of them were clean. He would have worked for nothing.
However, compared to finding a needle in a haystack, he had already narrowed the scope by a lot.
The chances of getting Ginaâs innocence were much higher.
However, it was late at night. Without concrete evidence, he could not ask David to round these people up overnight.
He had to wait until dawn
âMr. Jackson, there are still a few h
ew hours until daylight. Rest for a while. il bring everyone from the construction team over the moment you wake up.â
Gabriel looked at the time. Although he was anxious now, everything had to wait until dawn.
Gabriel sighed. His heart would not be at peace and he would not be able to sleep peacefully as long as he thought about how Gina was still in the
detention center
He was very worried about Gina.
Although he knew very well that
t Gina would not be bullied given her personality, he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable.
âMr. Jackson, arenât you going to the lounge to rest?â
David looked at Gabriel in surprise as Gabriel lay down on the sofa.
Gabriel had never been such a nonchalant person.
He must not be in the mood to care since Gina was still in jail.
Gabriel said, âGo and rest too. Youâve worked hard.â
âNot at all, not at all.â David took a deep breath. He had been by Gabrielâs side for many years. The work intensity was high, but Gabriel treated him extremely well
It was all worth it. Gabriel had even given him a Porsche some time ago.
Therefore, David felt that it was not difficult at all to work for Gabriel, not to mention that it was for Gabrielâs lifelong happiness.
After David left the office, Gabriel closed his eyes but he was not sleepy at all. He did not know how long he had been lying there. Gradually, he felt that the office, which had its lights turned off, began to slowly light up.
it was dawn.
Gabriel opened his eyes and took a sip of water. It was still early. He did not plan to wake David up to work. He wanted David to rest for a while.

When it was about eight oâclock, his secretary entered the office to organize the documents. She was a little surprised to see Gabriel in the office. âMr. Jackson⦠Good morning.â
âYeah,â Gabriel replied indifferently.
The secretary thought, âWhy does Mr. Jackson look a little dispirited and haggard? Whatâs going on? Moreover, it seems like he had not left the office the entire night. Thereâs even some stubble on his chin. When has Mr. Jackson been so slovenly?â
The secretary was puzzled, bat it was not appropriate for her to probe further.
She left after sorting out the documents.
Gabriel got up and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.
His secretary returned. âMr. Jackson, a woman downstairs wants to see you.â
âIâm not meeting her,â Gabriel refused without thinking.
He did not want to see anyone now. He also pushed back his work and focused on investigating Gina.
âUnderstood.â
Just as the secretary was about to leave, Gabriel seemed to have thought of something and asked, âWhoâs that woman? Did she say why she wanted to see me?â
âShe said⦠she had something about her daughter that she wanted to talk to you about
The secretary thought that t
the woman wanted to introduce her daughter to Gabriel. She had seen many delusional people like her.
Gabriel was stunned for a moment before saying, âIâll go downstairs to pick her up.â
The secretary was surprised. âHuh?â
Gabriel went downstairs and saw Ruby.
âGabri⦠No, Mr. Jackson.â
Rubyâs eyes were red and swollen.
Gabriel was puzzled. âRuby, didnât I say that you can just call me Gabriel? You donât have to call me Mr. Jackson, Youâre being too polite.â
Ruby frowned and pursed her lips. She mustered up her courage and said, âMr. Jackson, I know that I shouldnât have come after the Jackson Group issued the clarification announcement, but I have no choice..
âIon-only have Gina. I canât lose her again.â
Gabriel recalled Gina saying that Ruby had lost her father in her early years and her son several years ago.
Ruby continued, âShe couldnât have killed her biological father! She must have been wronged! Sheâs my daughter. I know her. Mr. Jackson, I beg you, car you help me investigate this matter and clear Ginaâs hame?
âIâll kneelâ¦â
Seeing that Ruby was about to kneel, Gabriel quickly supported her. âRuby, what are you doing?â

Ruby continued, âI know that I shouldnât be shamelessly begging you after the Jackson Group made that announcement, but I donât know who to ask for help. Iâm not familiar with this placeâ¦â
It seemed that too many people had misunderstood the announcement.
Gabriel hurriedly explained, âRuby, Gina asked me to make the announcement. She doesnât want to see me in a difficult position and implicate me.! have never thought of severing ties with Gina. Just like you, I believe that Gina is innocent.
âAlso, Iâm collecting evidence to prove Ginaâs innocence. The truth will soon be revealed. Gina will be back soon.â
Ruby looked up in confusion, âGina asked you to makeâ¦â
She thought about it and felt that it made sense. Gina had always had a cold exterior despite having a kind heart. She must have known that her matter had affected the Jackson Groupâs share price, and so she asked Gabriel to make that announcement.
Ruby was relieved. She thought that Gabriel did not believe Gina was innocent.
She could understand if Gabriel did not believe Gina was innocent. After all, Gina had only known him for a short time.
She was quite surprised by Gabrielâs unconditional choice to trust Gina.
âRuby, donât worry, and donât cry. Iâll handle this. Please believe me.â
âI trust you. I trust you,â Ruby said, nodding vigorously.
âIâve heard Gina mention that you are not in the best of health. Donât be too sad or itâll affect your body. Rest well. Iâll handle the rest,â Gabriel said.
âIs there anything I can do to help?â Ruby asked without much confidence.
âIâll handle it,â Gabriel said.
âAlright, alright.â Ruby nodded. How could a rural woman like her help?
All she could think about after learning that Gina was arrested was to ask Gabriel for help.
She was even afraid that Gabriel would reject her before she came and was prepared to kneel and kowtow to him.
She knew she was useless, but she couldnât just stay anxious and do nothing.
Gabriel arranged for someone to send Ruby home. Before he left, he even comforted Ruby and asked her to wait for the good news at home.
