When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 370
Perhaps Nancy could help her after all. Ginaâs tone was calm. âCalm down a bit.â
Nancy stuttered, âMiss Miller, I. I canât calm down. Iâm really, really scared. Please, help me. Save me. Iâll do anything you ask. I donât want to die. Iâm still so young!â
Gina handed Nancy a piece of tissue paper indifferently. Nancy took it and wiped her tears. âThank you.â
âIf you can help me, I can protect you,â Gina said solemnly.
âHelp.. help you? What do you mean?â Nancy had only wanted to gain Ginaâs sympathy by pouring out her troubles.
Gina said, âI also suspect Henry has done some shady things, but I donât have evidence. If you can help me find evidence of his crimes, Iâll agree to anything you need from me.â
Nancy was a little confused. She had only suspected that Henry might enjoy tormenting women, but after hearing Ginaâs words, she felt that Henryâs actions might be far more sinister than she had imagined.
She became even more afraid. Yet, she also desperately wanted Ginaâs protection. Otherwise, as a minor celebrity, how could she compete with this group of powerful people?
Nancyâs mind was in chaos. She even began to suspect whether Gina was just teasing her, especially since she had offended Gina before. âMiss Miller, do you mind that I deliberately used Mr. Jackson for publicity before?â
âI already told you. Whether youâre trying to create a scandal or genuinely trying to win Gabriel over, go ahead and try. I donât care about it,â Gina emphasized.
Nancy replied, âI only wanted publicity. I didnât want to take him. I donât deserve Mr. Jackson, and I canât compare to you.â How could Gabriel, who liked Cina, possibly be interested in her? Nancy still had some selfâawareness.
âDonât
t waste time. Answer me, can you be my informant?â Gina asked.
She didnât lack capable subordinates, but she needed someone who seemed nonâthreatening and wouldnât arouse Henryâs suspicions. Nancy was quite suitable.
âYou can rest assured that if you help me. I will ensure your safety, Gina promised.
Of course, Nancy was willing to trust Gina. She was her only lifeline. If she didnât agree to be Ginaâs informant, Nancy felt she would be walking into a dead end.
Gina said, âOkay, then you can get off here. From now on, just interact with them naturally, as you would normally.â
âAlright.â Nancy got out of the car. Still feeling uneasy, she asked, âMiss Miller, will youâ¦. keep your promise?â
âDo you think I was joking with you just now?â Gina asked back.
âI understand.â Nancy didnât want to continue bothering Gina, lest she provoke her annoyance. After closing the car door, Gina drove away.
Nancy walked into the foundationâs building with trembling legs. She hadnât gone far when she saw Shane and Henry standing in the corridor.
They seemed to be chatting happily. Nancy couldnât hear what they were talking about, but from their expressions, Shane and Henry seemed to be enjoying the conversation.
Feeling increasingly suspicious, Nancy even thought that Shane might be discussing with Henry how to dispose of her after they were done playing with her.
Shane noticed Nancy approaching and saw her eyes were red. âWhat happened? Didnât you say you were going to talk to Miss Miller? Did you get scolded and cry?â
Henryâs gaze fell on Nancy when he heard that she went to see Cina. He asked, âMr. Benderson, is your new girlfriend friends with Miss Miller? Thatâs impressive.â

Shane replied, âFriends? Not at all. You never listen to me or even follow entertainment news. She offended Gina before and just happened to run into her at the entrance. She said she wanted to apologize to Gina, fearing Gina would blacklist her.â
Shane insisted on boasting. âIn fact, if Gina wasnât friends with Nancyâs companyâs boss, I could definitely protect my girlfriendâs career!â
Henry smiled and didnât say much.
Shane continued, âSo what happened? Stop crying and tell me. Did she not forgive you? Why didnât you listen to me? I told you, that going to see her now would only humiliate yourself, but you didnât believe me.â
Shane not only didnât care about his girlfriend but even felt like mocking her.
âShe didnât forgive me and even slapped me, saying Iâm shameless.â Nancy glanced at Henry. Since Gina asked her to be her informant, she had to show that she and Gina were at odds,
Nancy was also trembling with nervousness, but luckily, her crying made Shane and the others think she was just sobbing. Shane couldnât be bothered to console her. To him, Nancy was just a tool for his pleasure. He casually said, âIâll go to the bathroom. You guys talk about the donation.â
With her head down, Nancyâs pupils suddenly contracted. Though she felt that Shane was not a good person, she didnât want to be alone with Henry either. He gave her a chilling feeling. But she couldnât stop Shane from going to the bathroom,
After Shane left, Nancy didnât know how to start a conversation with Henry. She even felt a bit resistant to getting close to him.
Henry asked thoughtfully, âMiss Steele, are you afraid of me?â
âNo, no!â Nancyâs panic gave her away,
Henry paused, then smiled lightly. âI think I know why youâre afraid of me. Did Mr. Benderson joke about giving you to me? Donât worry, Mr. Benderson loves to talk nonsense like that. Even if he insists on giving you to me, I wouldnât want you. I assure you, Iâm not that twistedâ
âReally?â Nancy was somewhat afraid, but she tried to remain calm. Iâm not an object to be given.â
Henry nodded gently. âYouâre right. But being with. Mr. Benderson might mean sacrificing your happiness. So, if youâre dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family by being with him, Iâd advise you to give up on that. Mr. Benderson is a playboy. He wonât be sincere with you.
Did Henry mistake her for someone trying to marry into a wealthy family for money?
Nancy even felt that Henry was kindly advising her. She looked up and finally met his eyes. His gaze was calm and gave off a gentle feelingâ¦
Could it be that Henry wasnât a pervert after all? Nancy couldnât figure it out.
