When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 41
Gabriel thought, âIt should have been Gina who extracted the surveillance footage.
He was too late to help Gina, feeling somewhat displeased.
David, quick-witted as always, hastily added. âBut, Mr. Jackson. I have another discovery.â
âOliviaâs blood type isnât RH
Gabrielâs furrowed brow relaxed. âNext time, be quicker. Also, send the evidence to Gina, anonymously.â
âYes, sir.â
Gina arrived at Jamesâs hospital room.
Peter followed behind her.
She pushed the door open and saw four people inside. She smiled faintly, âGood, youâre all here.â
James, seeing Gina, recoiled. After all, it was because of Gina that he had gotten into the accident. Now with both legs severely broken, James couldnât even be transferred to Prover Hospital. He might end up disabled for the rest of his life.
And all of this was caused by Gina.
James firmly believed that she was a jinx.
He said angrily, âWhat are
wou here for? Get out! I donât need you to visit me.â

Gina couldnât help but laugh. What made James think she was here to visit him?
Ellaâs face also turned sullen as she said, âHavenât you severed ties with us? Why are you showing up here? Let me tell you, you can regret what you have done!â
She wouldnât be the one with regrets.
Gina chuckled softly.
With her right hand in a cast, Olivia looked at Gina with a pretended look of fear. Noah, seeing this, felt heartache and shouted, âWhy are you still here?â
Gina gave
Noah a cold stare and then said to Ella, âYes, ties have been severed, but I still havenât shaken off the blame Iâve nexplicably shouldered.â
The Miller family exchanged confused glances, not understanding what Gina meant.
âCome in.â
Gina called out to someone outside the door.
As Peter walked into the room, Oliviaâs heart s k e d a beat. She had an ominous premonition.

Ella stared at Peter. It took her some time to recognize him because Peter wasnât wearing his distinctive white robe and looked battered.
âMr. Lennon!â Ella exclaimed.

It had been a year since she last saw Peter for a fortune-telling session. Ella always thought his predictions were accurate and had wanted to see him again for another reading. Unfortunately, it was impossible to make an appointment with Peter due to his popularity. She had no choice but to give up.
âHow did you end up like this?â Ella asked.
She didnât know why he was in such a sorry state.
Ella couldnât believe what she was seeing.
Peter sighed, âMrs. Miller, now is not the time for that. Iâm here to clear up something with you.â
Peterâs gaze fell on Olivia, who was anxious and came up with an excuse, saying. âMom, my right hand really hurts. Iâll go see a doctor first.â
âAlright.â Ella, not seeing any issue, agreed.
But Peter said, âOlivia, why are you leaving? This matter concerns you greatly. Listen first before you go. It wonât take long.â
Ella froze and wondered, âWhen did Olivia meet Mr. Lennon? I didnât even know about this..
She remembered that after she returned from Vaprebara Church, she was convinced that Gina was a jinx and shouldnât be approached. She even told Olivia about her visit to the church for a fortune-telling session, but she didnât mention Peterâs
name.
At that time, Olivia said, âMom, I donât believe in these things. How could Gina be a jinx?â
Ella wasnât so sure that Gina was truly a bringer of misfortune, but after a series of unfortunate events in the family, she started to believe it.
âBut my hand really hurts, and what does this have to do with me? We donât even know each other. What do you want to say?â Olivia insisted, secretly signaling Peter to shut up.
But Peter, full of grievances, ignored Oliviaâs hints and said straightforwardly, âOf course it concerns you. Itâs about how paid me to hint to Mrs. Miller that Miss Gina, who had just returned home, was a jinx.â
Oliviaâs face turned pale. Being exposed left her at a loss for words, and she started to tremble involuntarily.
She insisted, âI donât understand what youâre saying,â
in
Gina didnât waste any words and took out the surveillance footage of Olivia meeting Peter the day before Ella went to the
church.
However, the footage didnât capture Peter and Oliviaâs conversation.
After watching the video, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Olivia tried to defend herself and said, âWhat does this video prove? I did meet Mr. Lennon, but it was just a coincidence. I just wanted to pray for my brothers and momâ¦.â
Olivia paused and forced herself to meet Ginaâs cold gaze, saying, âAnd for you.â
Gina couldnât help but laugh at Oliviaâs lies. Olivia still tried to cover up.

Ella didnât rush to say anything. Instead, she recalled Olivia telling her that she didnât believe in these things. But now, Olivia was claiming that she went to the church to pray for her family.
It didnât make sense.
So, Ella remained silent.
Noah gritted his teeth and defended Olivia, saying, âYeah, this video doesnât prove anything. And I strongly suspect that you bear up Mr. Lennon and threatened him to frame Olivia to clear your own name.â
Noahâs passionate defense once again showed Gina how biased her brother was.
He was so partial to Olivia, who wasnât even blood-related.
Before Gina could speak, Peter cleverly explained, âMiss Miller didnât beat me. I was beaten as retribution for the wrongs Iâve done.â
Olivia, unwilling to be exposed, continued to struggle. âMr. Lennon, did Gina threaten you? Donât be afraid. We will protect you,â Olivia said.
Then. Olivia looked at Gina and put on a pitiful expression, saying, âGina, if you hate me, just come after me. Donât involve innocent people. Violence is illegal.â
Gina quietly watched Oliviaâs performance.
Peter was also shocked by Oliviaâs thick-skinned behavior.
