When She Stops Playing Nice

Gabriel was delighted to be able to help Gina.
âAlright. I see.â
Gina replied, âThank you for going there.â
âIf you want to thank me, come back earlier to be with me, Gabriel said with a smile..
âSure. I should be back tomorrow,â said Gina.
âOkay, Iâll wait for you to return. Iâll pick you up at the airport,â Gabriel said in a good mood.
âOkay.â
Gina also wanted to return to the country as soon as possible. While she missed Gabriel, she also wanted to see Ms. Matt soon.

Gina heard a knock on the door after hanging up.
She was staying at Windsor Castle, in the guest room that Lisa had arranged for her.
Gina opened the door. It was Lisaâs servant. âMiss Miller, Princess Lisa invites you to her bedroom.â
Gina nodded and followed the servant to Lisaâs bedroom.
Gina sat down. There were pastries and coffee on the coffee table in front of her.
Lisa smiled and raised her glass in invitation. âLetâs celebrate.â
Gina did not understand. âCelebrate⦠what?â
âIâve successfully defeated the criminals from the Atkinson family. Iâll be in the headlines tomorrow. Isnât that something to be happy about? Gina, youâre my friend. Youâll be happy for me, will you?â said Lisa, in a good mood.
She could finally appear publicly through the event, showing her political ambitions and determination to care for the country and the people.
âLisa, please do not disclose this matter to the public temporarily. We havenât investigated the origin of the ashes in the Illegal medicines. If you announce it now, youâll alert the enemies,â said Gina
The smile faded from Lisaâs face. As far as Lisa was concerned, this was the end of the matter. After all, she wasnât in charge of the matter in Shyran, and it wasnât her place to interfere, so she wasnât very concerned.
Gina saw Lisa was silent and said, âLisa, I know you are ambitious and want to be the heir of the royal family, but just fighting crime is not enough.
Mosnioca was a constitutional monarchy, but the royal familyâs power exceeded the presidentâs. It was understandable that Lisa wanted to become the new empress and sit at the peak of power.
âAlan, your brother, has fought many crimes over the years. Of course, it is what he should do as an heir, but if you want to replace him, you should do something that can bring him down.â
Lisaâs face hardened. âYou have a point. Does that mean you want me to uncover my brotherâs scandal? How about his peach
news?â
That was all Lisa could think of for the moment. Alanâs private life was mes
Gina was silent for a moment. âYour brotherâs peach news can indeed damage his image, but thereâs a high chance that it wonât damage your brotherâs foundation as the heir of the royal family.â
âWell, do you want me to uncover the more terrible crimes of my brother, such as being involved in drugs?â Lisa continued, âHowever, my brother wonât be involved in drugs. Once the kind of thing leaks out, it will be a devastating blow to him, the

heir of the royal family. He wonât take the risk. Heâs quite cautious. Let me think what other heinous things he might have
done.â
Looking at Lisaâs thoughtful face, Gina smiled helplessly. âIt doesnât have to be Alanâs crime. What if he covered up someoneâs unforgivable crime?â
Lisaâs eyes lit up at the reminder. âYouâre right, but itâs not easy to investigate my brother. Iâve been secretly investigating him all these years, but Iâve got nothing on him.â
Gina had no intention of participating in the royal familyâs dispute. She did not want to continue discussing with Lisa about how to bring down Alan. âPerhaps⦠Alan did not do anything bad, so you canât find out.â
âItâs also possible that my brother is a upright person who didnât do anything bad. Lisa suddenly sneered. âBut I donât think itâs possible.â
From the beginning, Alan was not the only candidate for the heir. Lisa had three brothers, and Alan became the final candidate and was the person closest to the peak of power. How could he not have some means? Lisa did not know how her three brothers had fought for the heir.
However, Lisa knew her other two brothers were crazy or stupid, which could have something to do with Alan.
Gina brought the topic back to its original starting point. âSo, could you promise me you wonât go public with this crime for a
while?â
Lisa nodded. âOkay.
âThank you,â Gina said sincerely.
Lisa motioned for Gina to join her for coffee. âYouâre welcome. Weâre friends.â
Gina remembered Aria had said the same thing to her. In the first twenty years, Gina had almost no friends.
Michael was not like her friend but more like a business partner. It was because Gina had long known Michael liked her. However, after knowing Michael for many years, Gina did not like him. Therefore, she had always kept a distance from Michael. If it was nothing, she would not contact Michael at all.
In the past, friends were dispensable to her, but it felt good to have friends now.
Lisa sipped the coffee and said, âBy the way, I have investigated the attack I encountered on Sunshine Avenue. Lighthouse, the terrorist organization that attacked me, has bribed our royal guards, who deliberately let those terrorists go in, giving them a chance to attack me.
âThe captured members of the organization said this operation was a glorious battle spontaneously organized by Lighthouse. They intended to challenge the royal family and were not instigated by anyone.
âGina, youâre no longer a suspect! The terrorist attack has nothing to do with you. You did save me by chance. Iâm sorry. I must put you under house arrest in the castle before we investigate the matter. Now, you can leave or s
as my guest!â
Gina was deep in thought. Clearly, the terrorists who were caught were not telling the truth. After all, Gina had received the news that Elaine had made a deal with the leader of the Lighthouse, so Gina saved Princess Lisa in time and became Princess
Lisaâs savior.
However, Gina had no evidence of Elaine making a deal with Lighthouse. She could not do anything to Elaine with just a few
words.
Cina reminded Lisa tactfully. âThe terroristsâ words are not trustworthy. Also, Princess Lisa, be careful of the people around you, especially those who approach you with ulterior motives.â
âSuch agâ
Lisa asked with interest.
âElaine Barnes
Gina added, âIt can also be all the members of the Barnes family.â

Lisa smiled. âWhat about you? Gina, do I need to be careful with you, my friend?â
Lisa did not think Gina had saved her by chance. Perhaps Gina knew something in advance.
