When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 152
The smile on Maxâs face disappeared, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Of course, Gabriel would not let anyone point a gun at him and wait for death. Behind him, David also took out the gun he had prepared and aimed it at Maxâs head. âMr. Griffiths, I know you come from the powerful Atkinson family, but Mr. Jackson is not to be trifled with either.
âThe Atkinson familyâs business is so big. Mr. Griffiths, have you not heard of Jackson Group of Norwood?â
David helped Gabriel reveal his identity.
Gabriel easily forked out 600 million dollars to buy the diamond mine to make Gaia happy. Even though Gabriel did not reveal his true identity when they were trading, Max had already guessed Gabrielâs identity.
Max thought, âHeâs Gabriel, Thereâs indeed no need for the Atkinson family to offend him over a small matter.
âMax, tell your men to put down their guns,â Gina said.
This could be considered as giving Max a way
Gabriel noticed it too. He was a little surprised. He thought, âGina is⦠helping Max. Why?â
Max took the opportunity to break the stalemate. âAlright, Iâll listen to you.
Then, he asked the bodyguards to put away their weapons.
Max looked at Gabriel and said in a sarcastic tone, âMr. Jackson, Iâve heard a lot about you.â
Gabriel ignored Max with a cold expression.
A look of disdain appeared on Maxâs face. The two of them seemed to disl ke each other.
What do
lo you want?â
Gina chose to negotiate with Max herself.
Iâm afraid youâll forget about me, so I came to you to make my presence known,â Max said glibly.
âMy memory isnâtâ¦â
Gina thought, âMy memory isnât that bad.â
Gina paused before she could finish her sentence. She suddenly looked up and met Maxâs half-smiling gaze. She felt even more that Max was not spouting sweet words on a whim.
Gina probed, âHave we met in the past?â
âYes,â Max answered naturally. âWe met yesterday. Wasnât that the past?â
Gina was speechlessat Maxâs ambiguous answer.
âMy memory isnât bad. I wonât forget the people I saw yesterday. You brought so many people with you, I thought you wanted to s n a t c h the diamond
mine back.â
Max smiled. âThe diamond mine is yours now. I wonât s a t c h your thingsâ

Maxâs words became more ambiguous. Gabrielâs patience was running out. He held Ginaâs hand and said, âLetâs go.â
Gina agreed readily. âIf thereâs nothing else, weâll be leaving. We have to catch a plane home in the afternoon, so we wonât chat anymore.â
çæ87%.
âIâll send you to the airport. After today, I donât know when weâll meet again, Sigh, are you really not going to stay for a few more days? If you donât want. to stay in Eldoria, Iâll take you to Ouston. How about that?â
âThat wonât be necessaryâ
Gabriel rejected.
Max took a deep breath. He was obviously dissatisfied with Gabrielâs answer, but Gabriel had already revealed his identity. Max could not let the bodyguards threaten Gabriel with their guns.
Maxâs face was full of impatience. He laughed angrily and said, âMr. Jackson, Iâm not asking you. Please donât rush to answer.â
âNo need, I shanât trouble you.
Gina rejected.
âAlright, then Iâm leaving. I believe weâre fated to meet again soon.â
With that, Max prepared to get into his car.
Gina turned around and asked, âAre you returning to the country?â
Maxâs answer was very vague again. âNothing is certain. Perhaps my dear mother will want to return to the country to visit her family one day.â
Gina was slightly surprised. Max seemed to be hinting at her.
âGoodbye.â Max got into the car and waved at Gina. Then, the car drove away.
âThis Max is definitely the most arrogant person Iâve ever met,â David could not help but complain.
Gabriel looked grim. When they returned upstairs and Gina was about to return to her room, Gabriel asked, âGina, can I talk to you?â
Gina did not understand why Gabriel frowned. âOkay,â
After entering the room and taking a seat, Gabriel asked carefully, âGina, donât you dislike Maxâs approach?â
When Gabriel first came into contact with Gina, Gina did not accept his approach so quickly. Gabriel did not understand why Maxâs seemingly frivolous words and actions did not disgust Gins.
He was very nervous. Of course, he did not restrict who Gina liked, or that Gina must like him because he had courted her. However, this feeling of being surpassed was really uncomfortable.
Gina was still a little confused. âWhy must I dislike his approach?â
At this moment, Gabriel felt even worse. It could be said to be torture. He even felt that his breathing was not smooth. He lowered his head and frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, âAre you interested in him?â
Gabriel thought, is it love at first sight?â
His words stunned Gina. Gina could not help but laugh. âWhat are you talking about? Why would I be interested in him? Are you asking me if I like him? | wonât like someone I donât know wellâ

Chapter 152
Gina had never believed in love at first sight.
It was because love at first sight was too risky. She felt that love at first sight was mostly because of the other partyâs looks. Max was good-looking, but this could not serve as a reason for her to be interested in Max.
Moreover, she had seen many good-looking people.
For example, Gabriel in front of herâ¦.
The person she really liked now was Gabriel whom she knew well. However, she was too shy to voice her true thoughts.
Gabriel was slightly relieved, but he was still a little worried. âBut you donât seem to object to his close contact.â
Gabriel felt a little sad. When he first met Gina, he did not receive such treatment.
He wondered, âWhy could Max?â
Gina explained, âItâs because he might be my adoptive parentsâ child.â
âRubyâs child?â
The first person that came to Gabrielâs mind was Ruby, but didnât he hear from Gina that Rubyâs husband and son were dead? Could it be that Rubyâs child didnât die but went overseas and became the Atkinson familyâs young heir?
That was a little ridiculous.
Gina shook her head. âItâs not her.â
Gina told Gabriel about how she was adopted for a period of time when
n she was youn
young.
âSo, you suspect that Max is the missing son of the couple from back then?â
âYes,â Gina nodded.
Gabriel thought, âI see. Gina didnât reject Maxâs approach because Gina wanted to confirm Maxâs identity. She wanted to find the coupleâs missing son and repay their kindness for adopting her.â
A rare look of dejection appeared on Ginaâs face. âIâve always felt guilty. My arrival had caused discord in their
