When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 259
Olivia couldnât be bothered to argue with Ethan. âAlright, when Thave money, Iâll come and invest. You wonât go back on your word, right?â
If she wanted to make a comeback, she needed a certain amount of capital. Ethan was the only resource she could grab now, although it was not a good resource.
âNo.â Ethan said nonchalantly.
He felt disdain and thought, âWith Oliviaâs current state of poverty, when would she be rich?â
Olivia said, âI helped you find out the truth, Donât you have any other way of thanking me? Ethan, didnât you say that youâre no longer the same as before? Donât be as stingy.
Ethan snorted coldly. The reason why he asked Olivia to investigate was not because he could not investigate it himself, but because he did not want to alert the enemy and had to protect himself.
He thought, âHow dare Olivia use this as an excuse to ask me for anything and call me stingy?â
He said. âTrbuy you a drink.â
Olivia was so angry that she laughed. She said sarcastically. âI donât want alcohol. How about give me several thousand dollars?
have a party tonight. The people I will meet are all famous people. Wouldnât it be better for me to bring you in than give you several thousand dollars?â Ethan paused. âItâs a good opportunity for you to find a sugar daddy who can support you for the rest of your life.â
After taking over the project given to him by Harry, Ethan decided to focus on his career, so it was important to accumulate connections.
He had spent a lot of effort so he could participate in tonightâs banquet.
Olivia ignored Ethanâs sarcasm. âAlright, Iâll believe you this once. See you tonight.â
Before the release of Quariaâs new products, there would be a banquet that invited VIPs who had spent more than millions of dollars to attend. They could view the new products in advance and VIPs could book the new products they liked at the banquet.
For the first time, Gina appeared at her companyâs banquet. However, as a specially hired designer, she was not eye-catching. but her outstanding appearance was very attractive.
A few socialites holding champagne gathered together and discussed softly.
One asked, âWhich family is that girl from? Iâve never seen her at the Quaria banquets before. Sheâs so beautiful. I wonder if sheâs taken.â
Another said, âHer figure is also very good⦠She doesnât seem to have put on makeup! Oh my god, is there really someone who can be born beautiful to this extent?â
âWho is prettier, she or me?â A discordant voice interrupted their discussion.
The socialites looked in the direction of the voice and took the initiative to greet her. âMiss Barnes,â
Elaine Barnes disdained their respectful greetings and said impatiently, âI was asking you a question just now. Answer it.â

A person said, âOf course, itâs you, Miss Barnes. Youâre so good-looking!â
âWhatâs so nice about me?â Elaine wasnât satisfied with this answer.
The person answered, âYou are bright, generous, and elegant. She canât be compared to her.â
Elaine sneered. Of course, she knew that they were flattering her, but she liked the feeling of being superior.
Moreover, she hated it the most when someone stole her limelight.
In the past, she had always been the center of attention at the Quaria banquet.
This time, Ginaappeared out of nowhere and stole her limelight. She was very unhappy.
Elaine walked to Gina and raised her glass. âHello, can we get to know each other?â
Gina nodded calmly. âMy surname is Miller.â
Elaine searched for her family and realized that no prestigious family in Oriata City had that last name.
Moreover, people would recognize Gina if she came from a prestigious local family.
The corners of Elaineâs lips curled up as she asked directly. âHow much did you spend at Quaria?â
Gina replied, Iâm not a consumer.â
Elaine saw that Gina did not have a staff memberâs name tag and was not wearing the waiterâs clothes. She raised her eyebrows. Then how did you come in?â
Gina said, âIâm a designer.â
Elaina asked, âWhereâs your work pass?â
Gina replied, âI donât have one.â
Elaine was so angry that she laughed. âYouâre a designer. Why donât you have a work pass? Also, arenât you supposed to entertain the VIPs? Why are you standing here? Is the work of a designer from Quaria so easy? Or are you simply pretending to be a designer to sneak into the banquet?â
Gina did not like to talk to strangers, especially when she sensed a trace of hostility from the other partyâs tone.
âI donât have to explain anything to you,â Gina said indifferently.
Elaine snorted coldly. âIâve spent more than 200 million dollars in Quaria a year. If youâre really the designer of Quaria, then a VIP like me is your boss. You have to answer whatever I ask you!â
Gina did not want to interact with her, nor did he want to start an argument and ruin the atmosphere of the banquet. Just as she was about to leave, Elaine blocked Ginaâs way. She was about to flare up. âHow dare you give me an attitude?â
âMiss Barnes!â Zelda walked over to help Gina out. âHello, long time no see. I was looking for you just now, but you are so dazzling. I saw you in the crowd at a glance!â
-After hearing the flattery, Elaineâs expression softened a little. She asked Zelda and pointed at Gina unhappily, âIs this your
colleague?â
Zelda nodded. âSheâs the designer specially hired for this new product, Gina Miller. Gina, this is Elaine Barnes. Sheâs been a regular customer of Quaria for five years. She is our Diamond VIP
Zelda tried to hint at Gina with her eyes, asking Gina to be more polite to Elaine. After all, Elaineâs family was powerful and

not someone they could afford to offend.
Even if Michael was present, he had to be polite to this young lady who was not to be trifled with.
Elaine saw that after Zeldaâs introduction, Gina was still as cold as ever. She was extremely dissatisfied. âWhereâs Mr. Clark?â
Zelda realized that Elaine was about to flare up. She did not dare to put in a good word for Gina. She swallowed her saliva and said, âMr. Clark was just chatting with a few customers at the male VIPâs side. Miss Barnes, whatâs the matter? Do you need me to call Mr. Clark over?â
âYes, call Michael over. I want to fire her,â Elaine said arrogantly, Who does she think she is? Why is she putting on such a long face?â
Zelda was embarrassed. âMiss Barnes, you might have misunderstood. Gina is like this. Sheâs not giving you a long face. Sheâs just usually expressionless and doesnât like to smileâ¦â
You donât like to smile? You still have to smile when you see me Elaine glared at Gina. âYou have to smile until I am satisfied, then I will not let Michael fire you.â
âMichael wonât fire me,â Gina said calmly.
Zelda gaspeil. She thought, âWhat is Gina doing? Of all people, why does she have to offend Elaine? This time, even Mr. Clark canât protect her.
Elaine was completely enraged. âWhere did you get your confidence from?â
Zelda still wanted to salvage the situation. âMiss Barnes, Ginaâs facial nerves are damaged and she canât smile!â
