When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 283
Ella grabbed Ginaâs leg tightly. âPlease let James stay here for treatment. Even if⦠even if the costs are doubled, itâs fine!â
âMom!â James pulled Ellaâs hand away. âDonât beg her!
âFine, Iâll leave. I donât need their treatment.â
Ella cried bitterly, not knowing what to do.
Dylan said to Gina, âGina, your back is scalded. Go and treat it first.â
âOkay.â Gina turned around and left.
She took a cold shower and applied the ointment in Dylanâs office.
Dylan went back to report to Gina, âGina, they have left the hospital.â
Gina nodded. âYes, I understand.â
âAre your burns serious?â
âItâs fine/Itâs just a small problem,â Gina said.
In Miller Jewels, Noah was feeling frustrated about the companyâs poor performance when he received another call from
Ella.
âWhat? Gina let James get discharged? What happened), Mom? Donât cry and make yourself clear.â
Ella was crying on the phone and told Noah everything that happened.
Noah was rendered dead silent by Jamesâs manic behaviors. Even if he had a grudge against Gina, couldnât he wait until he recovered?
Back then, in order to let James get admitted to Prover Hospital for treatment, the entire family begged Gina grovelingly and received her humiliation.
Now, his leg had not been cured but he was kicked out. So the familyâs humiliation and efforts had all become aj vain.
However, Noah still targeted Gina and said, âThat b*tch never lets us go. No matter how unwilling she is to admit has the Miller familyâs blood.
âMom, donât get your hopes up. Donât wish that she would come back and acknowledge us as her family again. Sheâs heartless ingrate.â
On the other end of the phone, James heard his brother criticizing Gina. He echoed indignantly. I really regret not splashing that boiling water on her face, If her seductive face was disfigured, would Gabriel still like her?â
When James mentioned Gabriel, Noahâs heart skipped a beat. âJames, you splashed Gina today? If she told Cabriel later, wouldnât Gabriel be coming at us?â
âWhat are you afraid of? Come on! Iâm already a cripple now. Whatâs there to be afraid of? Itâs best if Gabriel has some backbone and comes to settle scores with me in person. If I can exchange my life for his, I wonât have any regrets!â James said angrily.
âDonât talk nonsense! I wonât allow you to give up your life!â

James looked at Ellaâs haggard face and said, âMom, donât worry about me. Have a break. Itâs been tough taking care of me recently.â
Ella shook her head. âI canât feel at ease. There are a bunch of things at home, itâs a mess, and the company is not doing well.â
As Ella spoke, she suddenly retched. James was a little nervous. âMom, whatâs wrong?â
Ella waved her hand. âIâm fine.â
James said to Noah on the other end of the line, âTake Mom to the hospital for a checkup when youâre free.â
Noah was silent. He was extremely busy every day. After work, he only wanted to lie down. But James was free. Not only did he not have to worry about the companyâs matters, but during the time he was hospitalized, the entire family had to serve him alone.
Now, he was ordering him to do things again.
Noah was filled with resentment. He really wanted to pass the buck back to him who had been free for a long time.
Moreover, James was able to walk on crutches now. Accompanying Ella to the hospital would be very easy for him. But James still shifted the task and avoided responsibility.
âHello?â James wondered if Noah had hung up.
âSure, letâs see when Iâm free. Noah gave a perfunctory reply.
-Ella said, âIâm fine. Go ahead with your own things. I just feel a little dizzy and nauseous. Itâs not a big deal. Perhaps I didnât
rest well. Donât worry about me. I donât need to do a checkup.â
âMom, have a good rest. Iâll hang up first.â
âOkayâ
Hanging up the phone, Noah sent Liam a message asking. [When are you free? Could you take Mom to the hospital for a checkup?]
[Iâm training students. Very busy every day.] After Liam won the championship in the International Boxing Competition, he teamed up with some partners to open a boxing club. His title of champion had attracted many students. Previously, he had his ribs broken by Gina, and there were endless family matters that delayed his work for a long time. Now, he wanted to focus on his career.
Noah replied: [Okay.]
He then sent another message to Liam, asking if he was free.
Liam replied: [Sorry, but you know my career has been ruined by Gina. Iâve also terminated my contract with Star Entertainment. They still think that Iâve had a lot of negative impact on the company. Iâve even been sued. Iâm extremel busy now. I want to make a comeback and fight a lawsuit with the company. I donât have time.]
[Got it.] Noah gave up. He put down his phone and scolded impatiently, âD8mn it, so you guys are the only ones who are busy. And Iâm free!â
Now, Ivan and Ronnie were both overseas. He had no one to rely on.
After work, Noah did not go home immediately. He felt that the house was in a foul mood. He felt that everyone was filled with resentment. Noah was depressed, so he went to a new bar called King
Noah sat alone in the booth and drank alone. He watched the men and women in the other booths laughing. He suddenly felt a little irritated and got up to go to the washroom.

On the way to the washroom, Noah bumped into someone.
Noah was furious. He had experienced endless worries and frustrations and lacked nowhere to vent his anger. Taking advantage of the fact that he was drunk and the other party was a woman, James scolded, âAre you fucking blind?â
When his gaze landed on the woman who had been hit, he widened his eyes and said, âOlivia?â
Olivia was still thinking that it was better to avoid trouble and apologize to this drunkard. Unexpectedly, this man was Noah!.
After hearing him call her name, Olivia sneered, âWhat a small world. Itâs you.â
