When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 171
Lily broke down and cried. âI want to retract my confession. It was Olivia who instructed me to do those things. She threatened me with my nude photos. Even if I returned the money I borrowed previously to her, she still refused to delete my photos!!â
After Gina confirmed that Lily was going to retract hefconfession, she stood up and prepared to leave.
âGinaâ¦â Lily called out to her.
Gina turned around to look at her.
Lily shed tears of regret. âIâm sorry. Iâve done so many things to hurt you. I was wrong. I was very wrong I donât ask for your forgiveness. I just want to sincerely apologize to you.â
Gina could tell that Lilyâs apology was sincere, but she did not care. Lily regretted it too late. It was only when she was in prison that she began to regret it. She had also ruined her life and paid a painful price. She had brought this upon herself.
Gina did not reply and left.
At the Grand Restaurant.
Ella recalled, that the last time she came here, she had a meal with Ethanâs parents. She felt very
it very aggrieved at that time.
Olivia could tell that Ella was recalling the past. She diverted her attention and said, âMom, letâs go to the first Phoenix room for dinner today.â
âWhat?â Ella was scared out of her wits. She thought, âIt costs a lot of money to come to Grand Restaurant for a meal already. The first Phoenix room requirs a capital check if one wants to go in for a meal. One has to be worth more than 600 million dollars to go in for a meal!
Ella came back to her senses. This meant that Oliviaâs current net worth was at least 600 million dollars. She was shocked by that realization.
Ella was a little worried and her expression was ugly. âOliviaâ¦. Tell me the truth.
Is the money you h
have related to Cole?â
Olivia nodded. âYesâ
Olivia believed that this was the inheritance left to her by Cole, but it was obtained by threatening Gina.
However, Olivia did not want to tell Ella where the money came from, nor did she want to lie.
Ellaâs expression changed instantly. She didnât think that this money came legally.
Olivia could tell that Ella was worried. âMom, donât worry. This is clean. Every cent is clean.â
After all, Gina had âvoluntarily givenâ it to her.
Ella did not believe it.
Olivia was a little unhappy. âMom, if this money wasnât clean, would I still be standing in front of you? I would have gone to jail long ago.â
Ela had to admit that what she said made sense.
Just like that, Olivia entered the private room to eat with Ella, who was feeling a little nervous. Olivia ordered the dishes and said, âWhat a pity. This private room has the same rule as Prover Hospital. Every customer can only bring one companion to eat. Otherwise, Iâll get my brothers to eat with us.

âLetâs take turns bringing them over next time,â Olivia added generously.
Ella quickly rejected, âNo need. That would be too expensive.â
âWhy are you so polite to me now?â The smile on Oliviaâs face stiffened.
reyou!

Without waiting for Ella to answer, Olivia replied as if she were talking to herself, âMom, you must want me to save some money, right? Weâre family. Thereâs no need to be so polite!â
Olivia smiled and grabbed Ellaâs hand. Ella subconsciously wanted to dodge, but after seeing Oliviaâs stubborn gaze, she chose not to. She even said, âYes, after all, money is not so easy to earn. No matter how much money you have now, you still have to have a plan on how to use it.â
Olivia smiled. âI knew it. You care about me the most. In the past, I always wanted to treat you nicely, but I didnât have the chance. After all, I was still
studying and didnât have much money on hand. Itâs different now. I have money, so of course I have to spend the money on you!â
Ella smiled stiffly. She did not understand why Olivia still wanted to return to the Miller family after they had fallen out.
When the dishes were served, Olivia picked up some food for Ella. âMom, have someâ
Ella said, âOkay.â
Olivia felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was too awkward. She put down her fork and said, âThen, do you think that itâs reasonable for me to take revenge on the Miller family after cutting ties with you like Gina did?â
Ella was shocked. She thought, âIs my doubt so obvious? If she did not ask clearly, she would not be at ease, so she nodded.
âMom, this is the difference between me and Gina. After all, you didnât raise her. She treats Ruby as her biological mother. She has never treated you as her mother. Iâm different. Although weâre not related by blood, weâve been together for more than 20 years. Mom, no matter how you treated me and spoke ill of me in the past, I canât take revenge on you. Youâll always be my mother in my heart!â Olivia spoke with sincerity and her eyes reddened.
Elle was moved. She wanted to let go of the grudge. She hugged Olivia and said, âFrom now on, letâs forget the past and live on like a family.â
Olivia leaned on Ellaâs shoulder and smiled smugly. âYes!â
After hugging, Olivia called Gina. She had to show off how loyal she was to Ella and the fact that she had returned to the Miller family.
Olivia had been prepared that Gina would not pick up the phone. Unexpectedly, Gina picked up.
Olivia said, âGina, would you like to have a meal with me?â
Gina asked indifferently, âAre you very free?â
Olivia sneered. âIthink youâre quite free. Otherwise, why would you answer my call? Itâs mainly because Iâm in a good mood and want to share some good news with you. For example, Iâm back in the Miller family and Iâm going to take over the position of design director of Miller Jewels.â
She knew that Gina didnât care about these things, but she just wanted to annoy Gina. After all, she used Ginaâs money to achieve these things.
Ella was stunned. She did not expect Olivia to call Gina. She was a little flustered. âOlivia, letâs eat and hang up.â
Olivia invested 200 million dollars in Miller Group, so Ella was naturally much more polite to her. She thought, âCrap, Olivia is provoking Gina. This time, Gina is going to be even more distant from us. This made Ella feel very uncomfortable and nervous. She wanted Olivia to stop talking and quickly hang
Olivia ignored Ella and continued to say to Gina, âWe are at the first Phoenix room in Grand Restaurant. Are you coming? Iâll treat you to this meal as thank you.â

In other words, she was thanking Gina for âgiftingâ her with a billion dollars.
