Gabriel thought Gina made the pie. âIt looks delicious,â
Try it, Gina said.
âAlright.â Gabriel picked up a piece and was about to eat it as he added, âI didnât expect you to have a hobby of making pastries.â
âI didnât make it.â Gina shook her head, picked up a piece, and ate it..
Hearing that, Gabriel was stunned. âDid you buy it?â
âNo, someone gave it to me.
Gabrielâs expression changed subtly. âMale or female? They gave it to you so early in the morning?â
Gina raised her eyebrows. âA friend gave it to me earlier this morning.â
Gabriel grew uneasy. He frowned and said, âI didnât know you liked to eat pies. From now on, Iâll get someone to send it to you daily.â
Gina frowned and asked, âYou want to get someone to
Yeah
to buy pies and send it to me?â
âBut I like this kind of handmade pastry. Have I told you my friend made it?â
âIâll learn it! Starting today, Iâll learn about bakingâ Gabriel said desperately.
âSo, who gave this to you? Can you tell me?â Gabriel was about to go crazy. He didnât know who gave Gina such a pleasant- smelling pie behind his back.
What made Gabriel even more desperate was he later found out that the person knew Gina liked homemade pastry. He felt like he had failed as a lover.
âItâs from a girl,â Gina observed Gabrielâs reaction and answered while still frowning.
Puzzled, Gina added, âWait, havenât I told you it was a gift from my gal?â Realizing the awkward situation, she chuckled. âSo you think you have a love rival? Donât overthink it, okay?â
Gabriel said worriedly, Iâm also worried if it was a girl. Youâre so pretty that a girl might turn bisexual for you.â
Gina laughed. âWhat are you talking about? She has a boyfriend.
Only then did Gabriel feel relieved. However, he refused to eat the pumpkin pic. âYou know what? I wonât eat it since you didnât make it.â
Gina shook her head and teased, âReally? Then what about the food youâve eaten since you were a toddler? Didnât your nanny cook them? And what about the food in the restaurant, cooked by a female chef? Can you guarantee that youâve never eaten any food made by other women?â
Gabriel was speechless for a moment. I, I didnât mean that. Itâs just that I donât want to eat this pastry.â
âAlright.â Gina smiled. She realized that teasing Gabriel was somewhat fun.
Gabriel also looked joyful. He realized that recently, Gina had become more open and talkative in front of him.

The office door suddenly opened. Gabriel frowned and turned around to see Harry.
When Harry saw Gina, his expression turned stiff. âGabriel, you came early to the company for a date?â
Gabrielâs face turned cold. âUncle, the shareholdersâ meeting doesnât start until ten oâclock. Donât you think youâre also coming too early?â
âIâm old and struggled to sleep. I might as well come to the company to take a look. Why? Do you think my presence disturbs you!
âI do have something I want to talk to you about before the shareholdersâ meeting, and I hope you have the time to listen.â Harry looked at Gina with an unpleasant look. He was just short of asking Gina to take the initiative to leave.
Sensing Harryâs unpleasant look, Gina stood up and said, âPlease excuse me. I have to go back to work.â
Gabrielâs face looked disappointed, but he didnât want to make an issue out of Harry because he was busy talking about relationships and didnât put his heart into the companyâs matters.
From when Harry came in, Gina never made eye contact with him. She knew Harry hated her, and she would never look at someone who didnât like her.
As Gina walked out. Harry walked in, but he insisted on walking in Ginaâs path. Gina didnât care and bypa*sed him. meanwhile, Gabriel followed behind to send her away. âGina, Iâll send you downstairs.â
Harry insisted on interrupting. âWhy? Canât she take the elevator alone? Sheâs a grown-up, and she knows how to press a button. Gabriel, I told you, I have something to talk to you about!
Gina looked back at Gabriel. âThereâs no need to send me off. Iâll see you after you get off work.â
âAlright, Gabriel said reluctantly.
Harry snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction with Gina.
Just as Gina was about to walk out the door, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She frowned and couldnât help but spit out a mouthful of blood. She knelt on the ground and curled out in pain. Thin beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.
Gabriel was shocked by this scene and rushed forward. âGina?â
âWhat happened?â Harry turned around and saw a pale Gina being hugged by Gabriel. Seeing a blood stain at the corner of her mouth, he was also a little surprised.
Gina only thought of one possibility. âThe pie, I think itâs the pie Send me to Prover Hospital, please. It hurtsâ¦â
Gabriel didnât dare to waste a second. He carried Gina and rushed to the elevator.
Harry was stunned on the spot. When he regained his senses, he chased after Gabriel. âGabriel, canât you get someone to send her to the hospital? Also, the shareholdersâ meeting has been postponed before. Donât tell me you plan to postpone again!â
Gabriel was too panicked to talk about the meeting. He ignored Harry and entered the elevator.
Harry was furious but immediately thought of something. âThereâs no way she suddenly fell ill. But who poisoned Gina? She canât die. At least for now!â He took out his phone and made a call
Gabriel put Gina in the backseat and drove away. Gina endured the pain in her stomach while taking painkillers to help with the pain. But soon, she spat out a few mouthfuls of bright red blood. Gabriel saw this scene from the rearview mirror and

felt extremely anxious. âGina, weâre almost there. Youâll be fine!â
âFind, find Dylan⦠Let him examine me⦠Just do it!â After saying those words, Gina fainted.
At Prover Hospital, Gabriel, according to Ginaâs request, looked for Dylan. Dylan quickly assessed the situation and arranged everything. He rinsed Ginaâs stomach. Before heading to the hospital, Gabriel had asked David to take the pumpkin pie on the table for testing.
Dylan frowned while explaining. âThe test results are out. We found a highly potent rat poison in the pie, and the dose was enough to bring down ten people. Since rat poisons are colorless and odorless, they mix easily with food and are impossible to detect.â
Gabrielâs face looked terrified and enraged. He clenched his fists and his gaze was cold,
âMr. Jackson, do you know who gave the pie to Gina?â Dylan asked.
I asked David to investigate. We donât know yet. Gina only said that it was from her gal.â
Dylan frowned. âI guess whoever this girl is, she has a good relationship with Gina.
