When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 301
Wabout besitation, Noah krockeil his head against Ginaâs knees Please, just hear me out for a moment!â
Casa bahes shattering Nealâs hopes with a blunt reality. âYou can speak for two sentences, but if itâs about something youâre asking of me. I wonât agree. So, do you still want to say it?â
Noh widened his eyes in disbelief Was Gina so heartless that she would reject him before he even spoke?
But he wasnây about to be dismissed with just a few words from tina.
Summoning his courage, he clutched at Ginaâs trouser leg
Yama Miller Jewels is on the brink of collapse. I would appreciate it if you saved Miller Jewels. Youâre a shareholder with a twenty prevent stake! If you step in to help, itâs not just for us, bt for yourself too, isnât it?â
âDo you think I care about the meager returns brought in by that twenty percent stake?â Gina asked coolly
Nosh gritted hic teeth
Of course. Now could Gita, the renowned director of Prover Hospital, possibly care about the downfall of Miller Jewels and the meager returns it bought?
Yet Noah had nowhere else to turn but to Gina for help.
Would he have stooped to begging Gina if he wasnât afraid that Mr. Barnes would take their entire familyâs lives?
In Noahâs heart at that moment, fear dominates his feelings toward Colin while resentment burned fiercely against Ginaâs sex indulerence, devond of any tamilial compassion
Noah harbored a deep resentment toward her callousness, devoid of any familial sentiment.
Gina Let me speak plainly. I landed a massive order some time ago, thinking it could revive our business of Miller Jewels
Noah recounted to Gina the business dealings with Colin and the warehouse explosion.
â
Because of the fire, he couldnât deliver Colinâs order on time, naturally causing Colinâs fury. Colin explained that the batch of jewelry he had purchased from Miller Jewels was meant as a gill for a foreign royal acquaintance of his. This acquaintance intended to use them as wedding favors at his engagement party But now, with the warehouse explosion, Miller Jewels couldnât meet the deadline.
Colin couldnât justify the situation to his royal acquaintance, which left him feeling embarrassed. The altercation soured their relationship So, Colm flew into a rage and demanded that Noah pay an additional 100 million dollars on top of the 100 million dollars in damages stipulated in the contract.
That totaled 200 million dollars.
The Miller family couldnât pull it off, no matter how hard they tred.
At this point, Noah still dwelled on the 600 million dollars Gina had initially taken away.
If Gana hadnt threatened them and taken away 600 million dollars, they could have made things right. Why would he have to plead with Gina now?
âH Gina hadnât taken the 600 million dollars and coerced Elsen into withdrawing his investment, would Miller Jewels be in such dire straits
He wouldnât have signed a contract with Calin simply out of desperation to revive his company!

Chapter 301
Noah wasnât naive, he sensed something suspicious about the warehouse fire, likely orchestrated by Colin
Otherwise, how could such a disaster occur by sheer coincidence
But even if he suspected it, he wouldnât dare say it in front of Coin.
He couldnât afford to offend Colin!
At this point, what else could he do besides attempting to salvage the situation?
Inntally, Colin hadnât planned to give him a week to raise the funds. But Noah mentioned Ellaâs kidney failure and dire need for a transplant. He had pleaded with Colin to allow him to handle Ellaâs surgery first before raising the money, and Colin had agreed.
Yet today, which marked the end of the grace period, Colin had come demanding the money. Since Noah couldnât produce it, he was subjected to such a beating
Noah pleaded relentlessly until Colin finally agreed to give him one more day to raise the money.
If they couldnât gather the funds, the entire Miller family would utter dire consequences.
âGina! Youâre still one of us! Colin wonât spare you just because youâve distanced yourself from us. Heâll come after you, too!â
Gina remained unfazed by Noahâs warning, but she preferred to avoid trouble. Yet, even with Noahâs persistence, she remained unconvinced.
However, something seemed off to her.
âYouâre saying Ella has kidney failure?â)
How could that be!
During her time with the Miller family, she often added medicinal herbs and even the Spirit Orchid powder to their meals, which were known for their ability to prevent organ failure and slow down aging.
Less than a year after leaving the Miller family, Ella suddenly suffered from kidney failure. It seemed implausible.
Hearing Gina call out Ellaâs name directly, Noah felt a pang of discomfort, but he couldnât dwell on this minor issue. âYes, the kidney transplant has already been completed!â
His hidden meaning was evident. He thought. Your concern then was too late!
Yet, he couldnât shake the thought that perhaps Gina, despite her apparent indifference, had seized upon this issue to inquire. Could it be⦠could she still retain a fragment of humanity and hold onto familial bonds?
Ginaâs curiosity was piqued. âHow many of your sons were tested for compatibility?â
âNo, it was Olivia!â Noah asserted Oliviaâs name with conviction. Ele aimed to convey to Gina the selfless act of their adopted daughter, Olivia, who had donated her kidney to Ella. It starkly contrasted with Gina, her biological daughter!
Oliviaâs act prompted the Miller family to reevaluate their pa
realizing it was unjust!
Olivia had donated a kidney to Ella.
This was undoubtedly the most absurd joke Gina had ever heard
favoritism towards Olivia and the mistreatment of Gina,
Given her understanding of Olivia, she was confident Olivia couldnât have donated a kidney to Ella. There had to be something suspicious going on.

Yet, she cared little for the details, and she lacked the motivation to delve into them.
It seemed Olivia was attempting to win over the Miller family, who, as usual, were easily swayed by her.
56%
Ginaâs voice dripped with indifference and sarcasm. âSo, now youâve all become one big happy family with Olivia, havenât
you
Noah fell silent. He knew he shouldnât have brought up Oliviaâs name in front of Gina.
But he couldnât stop himself
He couldnât resist the urge to contrast Olivia with Gina, this selfish and cold-blooded creature.
âThatâs not the point, Gina. 200 million dollars. Canât you consider it as lending to us? With your resources, coming up with 200 million dollars is relatively easy! Weâll definitely pay you back!â
Noah found himself with no alternative but to plead with Gina.â
Yet Gina remained aloof âRepayment? How long until you can repay? And why should I lend it to you?â
Noah was on the verge of breaking down. âGina, did you even hear what I said? Mr. Barnes wonât spare you if he doesnât get his money. He knows youâre wealthy, and your last name is Miller. Iâve come to you today. You give me the money, Iâll give it to him, and this matter will be resolved. But it wonât be so straightforward if we wait for Mr. Barnes to come for it!â
