When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 30
Lily was quickly lifted into the ambulance. Many bystanders recorded videos and took photos, uploading them to the
internet.
Within the hour, the incident skyrocketed to the top of the trending searches. A blurry side profile picture of Gina was posted, and netizens began vandalizing it. They insulted and cursed her.
At the Jackson Group, someone whispered, âI just went into Mr. Jacksonâs office to deliver some documents. Guess what I
Another asked, âWhat?â
The speaker said, âMr. Jackson used a womanâs picture as his phone wallpaper. I canât believe it.â
Someone questioned, âWho was it?â
The speaker went on, âNo idea. I donât dare to stare. But she looks gorgeous.â
David listened and understood they were referring to Gina. Gabriel must truly have loved her.
David entered Gabrielâs office and found him still engrossed in his phone. Was Gabriel abandoning his work for his love? However, David noticed Gabriel didnât look good.
âCheck the trending searches, Gabriel ordered coldly.
âSure.â David took a look. His face turned grim.
âGet on it now. Remove the search, Gabriel commanded.
âYes, sir.â David began the process.
Worried, Gabriel called Gina. âWhere are you now?â
Gina looked at the hospital entrance. âHospital.â
âAre you injured?â Cabriel became anxious. Had they moved from bullying her online to harming her in person?
âNo. I came to settle stuff, âCina replied calmly. The incident had blown up online and people were outraged. They wanted the Department of Education to know so she couldnât be protected. They wanted her to be arrested.
Gabriel said, âI saw it too. Gina, if you need help, call. Though he gave her his business card, Gina didnât contact him. He felt disappointed. He wanted Gina to rely on him, but she didnât need him.
âNo need. Itâs no biggie. I can handle it myself. Donât worry.â Gina had seen the trending search disappear and guessed Gabriel was responsible. She owed him another favor. âWas it you who had Mr. Baker expel Lily?â Gina asked.
Yes. She wasnât remorseful and continued insulting you.â Gabrielâs face darkened and his gaze turned ominous,
It was as expected. Gina felt that giving Lily probation was too lenient.
Do you blame me for interfering?â Gabriel noticed Gina seemed not to like him getting involved.

David was dumbfounded. Gabriel was so cautious about Gina. It was so different from his usual ways.
âNo. Thanks, Gina decided she had to repay Gabrielâs favors.
âNo need.â Gabriel willingly did everything for Gina.
âBut youâre now a balding and fat school director in their eyes. The thought made Gina laugh.

Gabriel grinned too. Since Gina was still in the mood to joke with him, it seemed she wasnât affected by the insults online. That was good. âShall I clear my name?â Gabriel teased.
âDonât.â Gina knew Gabriel could shut everyone up with his influence. But wouldnât that confirm the rumors were true? Gina would reveal the truth herself.
Another call came in. It was Jack. Gina told Gabriel, âI gotta go. Goodbye.â
âBye. After hanging up, Gabriel returned to his frosty demeanor. He ordered, âDig out all the accounts spreading rumors, insults, and images online. Donât leave any out.â
At the same time, Gina answered Jackâs call. âYes?â
âMiss Miller, where are you?â Jack asked.
âAt the hospital entrance, Gina replied.
Jack told her, âYouâve seen the trending searches, right? This has a significant impact on the universityâs reputationi. Miss Allen is still agitated. She might attempt suicide again. Can you apologize to Lily to pacify her?â
Because Gabriel liked Gina, Jack had to be polite to her. Otherwise, he would have yelled at her to get her ass there.
Gina responded coldly. âSuicide? She waited until the lifeâsaving cushion was in place before jumping. Itâs safe.â
Jack was speechless. He added awkwardly, âBut her right leg is broken.â
âShe deserves it,â Gina said indifferently.
Jack had a severe headache. Lily was a lunatic and Ging was a tough nut to crack. If this matter wasnât handled well, he might
have to step down as the dean.
Gina understood what Jack was worried about. âDonât worry. I wonât let the universityâs reputation be damaged.â
Jack wasnât convinced. So what if Gabriel protected Gina? If Lily had died, wouldnât Gabriel be protecting a âmurdererâ? Besides, Jack thought Gabrielâs affection was a passing fling. Gina might be pretty but her background wasnât prominent. With his status, Cabriel would surely marry a daughter from an affluent family.
It was common for men like Gabriel to have a few women on the side. Still, fack was displeased. Gina had significantly increased his workload. Furthermore, how long could Gina remain by Gabrielâs side? Jack didnât think Ginaâs smugness. would last long.
