When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 251
Gabriel found Ashleyâs behavior somewhat perplexing.
Nevertheless, he still served her some food.
Ashley, seeking conversation, remarked. âMiss Miller, Iâve heard you have a strained relationship with your family?â
Setting down her fork, Gina responded calmly. âMiss Jackson, are you referring to the Miller family? Theyâve disowned me. so I no longer consider them family.â
Ashley pondered for a moment. âIâm not particularly keen on pring into your family affairs, but how can you simply cut ties with your blood relatives?â
Gma didnât want to hear about the Miller family from anyoneâs lips but remained composed. âMiss Jackson, you mentioned not being interested in why I severed ties with the Miller family. Thatâs because you donât understand. Itâs okay. Sometimes, I feel that blood relations arenât as crucial as theyâre made out to be. If my supposed family doesnât love me or even hurts me. I can choose to distance myselfâ
âThatâs absund
Ashleyâs sudden anger blazed as she declared. âFamily ties are as unyielding as bone and sinew. Do you think they can bet severed at willl. I think youâre just cold-bloodedâ
Seeing that Ashleyâs beliefs were utterly opposite to hers, Gina didnât bother explaining further. She realized that it would be
futile.
But Ashley persisted. âDid I hit the nail on the head? The moment you walked in with that haughty demeanor, it made me uncomfortable. Gabriel, have you truly set your sights on her to be my future sister-in-law? A woman who can abandon her. family without a second thought-do you honestly believe she could love you sincerely?â
Gabrielâs expression darkened. âEnough, Ashley. If youâre deliberately picking a fight with Gina today, please leave. Donât disrupt us
Ashley flared up, setting down her fork. Tm your sister! Could I possibly harm you? Is she off-limits to criticism? Sheâs not even your girlfriend yet, is she? And yet youâre siding with her?â
âDonât blame me for speaking plainly, but with her lack of refinement, itâs hard to picture her fitting into high society! Since she walked in, has she done anything besides saying hello? Shown any bit of concern for me?â
âNo matter how I phrase it. Iâm technically her elder, right? Even if sheâs pretending, couldnât she fake a bit of warmth for me? My 4 million dollars brooch, even if tossed into the water, wouldnât it at least make a splash in response?â
Gina calmly returned the brooch to Ashley. âMiss Jackson, hereâs your brooch. You can gift it to whomever else you please.â
âFurthermore, youâre Gabrielâs sister, not mine. I donât regard you as my elder. I believe thereâs nothing impolite in my behavior. If you find me lacking warmth, thatâs your issue, not mane. Today marks our first encounter, and youâre simply a stranger to me. I canât engage in friendly conversation with you
Ashley grew more angry as she listened. Impressive. Youâve truly outdone yourself with your twisted arguments. Who can outwit you? You havenât even stepped foot into the Jackson family, yet youâre already putting on airs. If you wish to be accepted into the Jackson family, disrespecting me wonât cut it! Do you comprehend the concept of hierarchy?â
Gina couldnât help but chuckle. In this modem age, everyone stands equal. Youâre not superior, and I donât need to be
inferior
âYou youâ Ashley was seething with anger.

Chapter 251-
âAnd one more thing.â Gina added, âIâve never implied that Iâm eager to become the daughter-in-law of the Jackson family
Ashley widened her eyes, pointing accusingly at Gina. âGabriel, did you hear that? What does she mean? She doesnât care about being part of the Jackson family or marrying you. Harry was right; sheâs just leading you on. Arenât you going to wake up and stop letting her toy with you?â
âGinaâs words are wonderful, Gabriel retorted without hesitation, countering Ashleyâs accusation.
âFrom the beginning to the end, Iâm pursuing her, hoping she becomes a part of the Jackson family and my wife. Itâs my decision alone, Ashley. Stop meddlingâ
Tm meddling?â Ashley exclaimed, pointing at herself in disbelie âRidiculous! I bought a gift for our meeting and willingly asked to meet my future sister-in-law. Iâve already humbled myself enough!â
kindness was
Angrily, she retrieved the brooch and placed it back in the shopping bag. âFine, have it your way! Letâs say my taken for granted! Iâll find someone worthy to give this gift to. Some people lack artistic sensibility and fail to appreciate its beauty. Wearing such jewelry would be a waste!â
Gina interjected, âMiss Jackson, if you wish to return the item, I can assist you in explaining the situation to the Quaria store. Once they understand, theyâll likely accept the return.â
Ashley smirked sarcastically. âAre you out of your mind? Couldnât you have considered the facts before speaking? If thereâs nothing wrong with the jewelry itself, why would they entertain return?â
âBecause Iâm an exclusive designer for Quaria and acquainted with the CEO.â Gina revealed only this much about her status.
That sufficed.
Ashley couldnât believe it. âAre you saying youâre an exclusive designer for Quaria?â
She couldnât stomach the reality. She liked the Quaria Jewelry, but the thought of someone she despised working there was disgraceful. It stained Quaria!
In that instant. Ashley made a spontaneous decision. She vowed to figure out a way to get Gina out of Quaria!
Gina nodded. âAlright, so do you need to return the item?â
Ashley didnât want Ginaâs assistance. She coldly snorted, âNo need. I can afford this 4 million dollars.â
With that, she grabbed her bag and stormed out. At the door, Ashley couldnât resist turning back to Gabriel. âI will never agree to you being with her!â
Gabriel couldnât suppress a chuckle. Your disagreement wonât change anything.â
Ashley was on the verge of exploding. She hadnât anticipated Gabriel showing her no respect in front of an outsider. Unbelievable!
Alright, did he think her disagreement was just empty words?
She would find a way to make it happen!
With that, Ashley stormed out of the room.
Now, only the two of them remained. Gabriel, feeling a tad uneasy, asked, âAre you angry, Gina?â
âSorry, I didnât expect Ashley to treat you like that.â
Gabriel felt a pang of remorse.

Gina shook her head calmly.âTm not angry. But Iâd rather steer clear of unnecessary interactions with your other kin from
now on.â
