When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 440
Colin raised an eyebrow. âFor Gina Miller? In that case, itâs unnecessary,â he said.
Ibrahim was surprised and decided to provoke Colin. âReally? Is there a business deal that Mr. Barnes is afraid to make?â
Colin sneered. âThereâs a business that I donât dare to do? Are you kidding me? itâs just that someone used Ash on Gina Miller before you did.â
Ibrahim was somewhat surprised. Could it be that someone had already bought the Ash for Gina! That would certainly save him a lot of trouble. Besides, Ash isnât cheap. Knowing this, Ibrahim felt quite pleased.
However, he had a question. âBut Gina Miller, supposedly affected by the Ash, seems completely fine. Could the virus your research institute developed have degraded in quality?â
âImpossible. This virus has an incubation period. Gina Millerâs good health is likely extending the incubation period,â Colin said confidently.
Ibrahim looked somewhat puzzled. âReally? I think it might be because Gina Miller is the renowned Dr. Genevieve. Thatâs why sheâs been fine for so long What do you think, Mr. Barnes?â
âWhat did you say? Gina Miller is Dr. Genevieve? Colin was shocked.
The drug manufacturer at the research institute had mentioned that Dr. Genevieve was probably the only person in the world who could potentially neutralize the meticulously extracted virus. If Gina had discovered a cure for Ash, it would not only have ruined his business, but if it had been exposed that he was involved in such morally reprehensible activities, he would have faced worldwide condemnation. That would spell the end for the Barnes family. At this moment, Colin deeply regretted having Gina injected with the Ash. But back then, he had no idea that Gina was Dr. Genevieve.
âD m n!â Colin angrily kicked the table, sending cups crashing to the floor and shattering into pieces.
Ibrahim calmly watched the furious Colin. âMr. Barnes, calm down,â he said.
After ranting for a while, Colin suddenly declared, âGina Miller must die, and she must not leave a trace!â
Ibrahim nodded in agreement. âItâs not just me, many others think the same way as you, Mr. Barnes.â
Colin chuckled upon hearing this. âGina Miller has plenty of enemies, yet not one of them has been able to take her down?â âJust a woman. She was just a woman!â Colin thought bitterly and resentfully in his heart.
Ibrahim ignored Colinâs sarcasm. âI donât have that capability. Iâll rely on you, Mr. Barnes. I can contribute financially and physically if you can find a usa for me.â He hadnât thought of a good plan yet, either.
âGet lost,â Colin said, his tone devoid of kindness.
With no business to conduct, Ibrahim saw no reason to linger and promptly left.
After venting his anger, Colin called the drug manufacturer at the research institute in Haylas. He said, âIâve found Dr. Genevieveâs whereabouts.â
The person on the other end of the line became intrigued. âOh7â
Olivia returned home, and Ella noticed that Oliviaâs face was swollen. Concerned, she hurriedly approached and asked, âOlivia, what happened to your face?
âI got hit,â Olivia replied impatiently. Was thereâs need to ask? Couldnât Ella see it with her own eyes? She was wondering if Ella had swapped her kidneys.
for a brain!
âWho hit you? Who? Gina Miller?â Ellaâs immediate thought was Gina, the ungrateful child she had given birth to, who saw their Desh and blood as enemies!

âDoes it matter who hit me?â Olivia countered. Regardless of who it was, she and the Miller family currently lacked the means to retallate. The Millar family was no longer the wealthiest in Norwood.
Ella fell silent for a moment, sighing. Iâm useless as a mother; I couldnât protect you.â
âIâm glad you know,â Olivia thought. But she said nicely: âMom, letâs not talk about unpleasant things, okay? Anyway, Iâm fine.â
Ella nodded in response. Noah Miller sighed as he walked into the living room. Sitting heavily on the sofa, he said, âis dinner ready? Iâm starvingâ
âNot yet, Iâll go cook now,â Ella said.
âMom, what are you doing? Your health isnât good, and you shouldnât strain yoursell,â
yoursell,â Noah said. âOlivia, why donât you go make dinner? Iâm too tired,â
he added before slumping down.
Olivia suddenly felt a surge of anger. âHow would I know how to cook?â she snapped.
âYou can start learning now, Mom, you spoiled Olivia too much when she was younger, and now she doesnât even know how to cook.â Noah sighed. âIâm just so tired today. Olivia, why canât you help out with anything?â Noah lamented.
Olivia became increasingly enraged, jumping up from her seat. âWhat did you say?! I canât help out with anything Are you kidding me, Noah Miller? Most of the expenses in this household are covered by me now.â
âOur brother died, and you got 4 million dollars from Ivan, saying you wanted to make a comeback. You said youâd invest it in business, but itâs been so long, and I havenât seen any results. Are you tired? Donât you think Iâm tired too? Donât I go out to work every day to earn money to support the family?â Noah said.
âLiam is currently unemployed. Jason has been shelved and still owes the company a breach of contract fee, yet all he thinks about is returning to the entertainment industry. How many fans has Jason left anyway? He locks himself in his room all day, doing nothing but being a freeloader, Ivan always runs around without a trace; who knows what heâs up to? Thereâs Ronnie, too, I donât know what heâs doing. With so much happening in the family, he hasnât shown his face once. Ronnieâs living so carefree! And you, Noah Miller, how dare you say I havenât helped?â Olivia said.
Olivia regretted why she had gone to such lengths to return to the Miller family. She cursed her past naively. Now, Olivia couldnât get rid of these people. If it werenât for the fact that the o g a n s of these people still had some value, she would have left them long ago.
âI just said it casually, why are you so angry? Olivia Miller, I didnât realize you had such a fiery temper before. And what do you mean by saying you havenât seen any results from me? Are you implying that all my efforts to expand our network and attract investment are just a game? Do you look down on me? Do you think Iâm incapable of making a comeback?â Noah retorted.
âHow do we know if you have the ability or not unless you show it? Anyway, I havenât seen anything yetâ Olivia sneered. She was genuinely being driven mad, turning into a shrew.
âI just asked you to learn how to cook, and youâre making such a fuss. Even if youâre unwilling to cook for the family, donât you need to cook for yourself?â
Seeing the argument escalating, Ella hurriedly intervened. âAlright, alright, letâs not argue anymore. Iâll make dinner. Noah, Momâs health may not be the best, but it wonât worsen just from making a meal,â she said.
