When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 187
In a confident tone, Andy retorted. âYouâre not the car owner, are you?â
Gina admitted. âIâm notâ
you were the one in the back seat of the car today, right? You must have quite
Then what business is it of yours? But since you know about this, I assume you the looks to be able to latch onto the owner of a Rolls Royce.â
When Cathy heard Andy say this, she tugged on Andyâs arm. âHow could you make such unfounded accusations about someone? Andy, you should apologize to her right away.â
âApologize for what? Didnât you see she didnât even refute? Sheâs obviously feeling guilty,â Andy said, not expecting another person to get involved.
âWho are you calling guilty?â Gabriel approached.
Great, another busybody,â Andy thought, growing impatient.
But when he turned to look, he recognized Gabriel. âMr. Jackson?â
He quickly bowed and scraped. âMr. Jackson, hello, Iâve only seen you in news reports before. I never expected to meet you in person. Mr. Jackson, you are indeed a man of great charm and talent.â Andy flattered.
Gabriel ignored Andyâs fawning and his face was stern. âI am the car owner, and you will answer my question from just now.â
Andy felt a sinking feeling in his heart and asked cautiously, âCould it be that this beautiful lady is your girlfriend, Mr. Jackson?â
Gabrielâs face was cold, and before he could give a direct answer, Andyâs legs turned weak under Gabrielâs icy gaze. It was only after Cathy prompted him to apologize quickly that Andy, with a trembling voice, bowed to Gina. âIâm sorry, miss. I spoke without thinking and offended you. Please forgive me.â
Gina didnât say anything but raised her hand and delivered a crisp slap to Andyâs face.
Andyâs eyes blurred from the impact, but he dared not show his anger.
âThis slap is for you to remember. In the future, control your mouth. As for the incident with Gabrielâs car, it was caused by your reckless driving. Own up to your own mistakes instead of forcing your girlfriend to pay for them. If you want to sell yourself, then do it yourself,â Gina said firmly.
At this point, Andy could only nod obediently.
Cathy was also apologizing to Gina. âMiss, please forgive him and donât take his actions to heart. I will educate him more in the future.â
Hearing this, Gina was taken aback.
She said to Cathy, âCome here. I want to talk to you alone,â
âYour boyfriend is not a good person. Break up with him as soon as possible and donât let him drag you down.â Gina advised with good intentions.
Cathy looked troubled. âThank you, I know you mean well. Itâs just that he promised me that he would gradually change his bad habits. It will take time, but I believe⦠he will get better.â
Gina frowned, realizing that the young girlâs infatuation was quite severe. âWhat a pity,â she thought, âif only love sickness is a disease she can cure.
Gina couldnât bear to see a good girl being mistreated by someone like Andy and couldnât help but say a few more words. âYouâve never heard the saying? The nature is hard to change. I believe that as an intimate partner, you canât help but notice his serious flaws. Moreover, he canât afford the repair

costs now and is considering making you go sell yourself. Do you think he has any humanity left?â
Cathy hung her head, falling silent.
With a sigh of resignation, Gina realized that if the girl didnât want to break up, no amount of persuasion would be effective.
All Gina could do was leave a helpless remark. âThink it through clearly.â
Then she turned and left.
On the other side, Gabriel said coldly to Andy, âNight Bar doesnât have the kind of position youâre imagining. We donât need hostesses here. Moreover, if Find out that the compensation for the repair costs is obtained by forcing your girlfriend into something bad, I will make you pay the price.â
Andy was thoroughly frightened. Even after Gabriel and Gina had walked far away, Andy was still in shock, unable to recover, until Cathy came to his side. âAndy, what are you thinking about?â
Andy looked at Cathy blankly. âDo you know what Mr. Jackson just told me?â
âWhat?â Cathy was confused.
Andy repeated what Gabriel had said earlier. He was surprised, feeling like Gabriel was protecting his girlfriend.
So he said to Cathy in amazement, âMaybe Gabriel has taken a liking to you, Cathy. Do you think itâs possible? If thatâs really the case, could you help me plead with him to agree to let me pay less compensation?â
When Cathy heard this, her eyes were filled with disappointment in Andy. She was not narcissistic enough to think that Gabriel would be attracted to her. It was just that Gabriel, like his girlfriend, was a person with a strong sense of morality who couldnât stand Andyâs behavior.
She raised her hand and slapped Andy. âJerk, I never want to see you again.â
Cathy ran away sadly.
Andy, who had been slapped twice, was furious and cursed, covering his face where he stood.
Gabriel escorted Gina back home.
âThen, goodbye?â Gabriel asked, reluctant to part.
âMm, goodbye.â
âGina, donât be upset. If the past is something you chose to forget, then letâs both not remember it, and consider that Iâve forgotten as well, okay?â Gabriel inquired.
Gina nodded. âAlright, you should also go back and get some rest early. You donât have to keep me company.â
Gabriel returned to the car, and Gina waved goodbye to him. Gabriel was reluctant to leave first âGo upstairs. Iâll leave after I see you do.â
Gina chuckled but agreed to Gabrielâs request and turned to go upstairs first.
As she entered the apartment, Gina glanced through the window and noticed Gabrielâs car was still parked downstairs. She sat back on the sofa and messaged Gabriel. (Arenât you leaving yet?]
Gabriel: Iâll leave right away, Gina. I suspect someone has stolen the time we spend together, making it always feel like time flies when Iâm with you.]

Gina smiled and teased. [Meaning itâs very easy to pass the time when youâre with me?]
Gabriel: [Of course not.]
Gina: was joking.1
When Gina replied, she included a sly smiley emoji,
Gabriel didnât respond as quickly as before, and Gina figured he must be busy. She lay on the sofa, feeling drowsy, but after only a few minutes, she suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively said, âMom, what should you prepare for dinner?â
As soon as she said it, Gina felt a jolt of realization. Ruby was already gone, but at this time of day, she used to help Ruby wash vegetables and cook in the kitchen, and it had become a habit.
When she realized this, Gina felt a chill run through her limbs.
