When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 159
Gina looked at Olivia with an exasperated expression. âHe said he did all of this for you to have a better life. How could this have nothing to do with you?â
Olivia froze, on the verge of breaking down, and cursed at Cole, âYou son of a b**h! I donât need you to give me a better life. Youâre trying to get me killed! Youâre w**e than an animall
âShut up and be quiet,â Gina said angrily. She wasnât here to watch the father and daughter drama unfold.
âRelease my mom, or elseâ¦â Gina clenched her fists, her face as cold as ice.
I let her go, but I have demands.â
âSpeak!â Gina snapped.
âI want you to voluntarily give Olivia a billion dollars. As the head of Prover Hospital, Miss Miller, thatâs a sum you can come up with, isnât it?â Cole said.
Olivia froze. She didnât think Cole would ask Gina for such an enormous amount of money. She suddenly felt a mixture of feelings.
âYou crazy
y person, a billion dollars? How can you even ask for that?â Ruby exclaimed.
Cole said with a sneer, âYou donât realize how rich your daughter is, do you? What are you so anxious about? You probably didnât know about her being the director of Prover Hospital until the news exposed her. Sheâs been hiding it from you. Do you really think she considers you her mother?â
Ruby retorted, âWhat about your own daughter? Does she know what kind of shady deals youâve been involved in all these years? Why are you afraid to tell her that you trafficked human o**s? Are you afraid sheâll be scared?â
Human o** s!
Olivia was so frightened that her legs gave out and she fell to the ground. Realizing she had spent years with such a monstrous person made her feel true fear, even though this man was her father.
âEnough!â Cole shouted, enraged. âGina, do you want her life or a billion dollars?â
âIâll give you the money,â Gina answered without hesitation.
âGina?â Ruby was disbelieving, both heartbroken and touched. She wondered what she had done to deserve Ginaâs sacrifice.
âTransfer it to Oliviaâs account immediately. I want the transfer contract in black and white.â
âOkay!â Gina agreed promptly.
âGabriel, have David prepare a contract,â She turned to Gabriel and said.
Gabriel immediately instructed David to proceed. Knowing the urgency of the matter, David swiftly retrieved the contract. Cole promptly checked the contract and then tossed it to Gina, commanding. âSign it.â
After Ginaâs signature, it was Oliviaâs turn. She was apprehensive and terrified. âGina, believe me, I certainly didnât allow him to demand a billion dollars from you! Itâs none of my business!â
Just sign it, no nonsense,â Gina retorted, her condern now solely focused on Rubyâs safety, not the a billion dollars.
As Olivia signaled her still bound state, Gabriel instructed David to untie her with a cold face.

With trembling hands, Olivia signed her name.
Olivia, take the contract and keep it safe,â Cole said.
Olivia was trembling in fear and did not dare to say anything.
âGina, I need to ensure my daughterâs safety! Release her!â Olivia implored.
Gina looked at Olivia sternly. âLeave.â
âAlright, alright,â Olivia murmured, hurrying away without a backward glance.
âItâs time to instruct your people to transfer the money, I wonât release her until itâs in my daughterâs account,â Cole urged.
Gina patiently called Michael and directed him to transfer the funds to Oliviaâs bank account in installments.
Michael, bewildered, questioned, âGina, whatâs happening? Youâre transferring a billion dollars to Olivia?â
âI donât have time to explain now. Just do it,â Gina replied firmly.
âOkay.â
After confirming the moneyâs transfer, Cole released Ruby, pushing her toward Gina, who immediately enveloped Ruby in her arms.
âMom, itâs alright,â Ruby reassured her.
âGina..â Olivia felt guilty for Gina sacrificing a billion dollars for her safety.
Gina sensed Rubyâs thoughts and comforted her, âMom, money can be earned again, but I canât afford to lose you.â
After all, Ruby was her only âfamilyâ in this world.
âLetâs go,â Gina said to Ruby, noticing Cole still holding a gun.

She didnât want to escalate the situation with Cole. Today, she let him off, but if there was a next time, she vowed to make him suffer more than death.
Ginaâs cold, sharp gaze lingered on Cole as he leaned against the wall, holding the gun. âMiss Miller, our deal is complete. You can leave now!
Without a word, Gina took Rubyâs hand, swiftly leading her away from the scene.
Gabrielâs eyes locked onto Cole with an icy glare, as though he wished to rend him into a thousand pieces. Cole, who was always facing threatening intentions in gazes in the past, felt his heart tremble at this chilling stare.
Taking a deep breath, Cole uttered, âGina.â
Confused, Gina halted, her expression turning cold as she glanced back.
in that moment, however, Cole raised the gun in his hand and fired at Gina.
He had made a vow to Olivia to end Ginaâs life.
Cole understood that only Ginaâs demise could ensure Oliviaâs future peace. He harbored the intent to eliminate anyone who might disrupt Oliviaâs tranquility, but he didnât dare to kill Gabriel, otherwise, the Jackson family would hound Olivia relentlessly
âGinalâ Ruby screamed in shock.â

Gabriel swiftly intervened, shielding Gina and pushed her aside. The bullet struck Gabrielâs arm, causing intense pain, yet he stifled any sign of distress and held back his groan, while David stood frozen in shock.
Gabriel had given David a gun, but to avoid provoking Cole and endangering Rubyâs life, Gabriel told David not to carry it.
âMr. Jackson, Mr. Jackson!â Dávid stammered, momentarily at a loss for words, sweat beading on his forehead because of his nervousness.
He fumbled for his phone to summon help.
Cole, frustrated by missing Gina, taunted, âGabriel, step aside! Do you truly believe I wouldnât dare to kill you?â
In truth, he didnât dare to do that. His gaze shifted to Ruby. âGina, accept your fate, or else neither of you will leave here today!â
Cole hadnât aimed directly at Gina earlier because he knew she was skilled and likely to dodge. He felt compelled to target her when her defenses were downt
When she turned back upon hearing her name, it was indeed the moment she was caught off guard. However, Gabriel Jacksonâs reaction was too fast and actually blocked the bullet for her!
