When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 444
In the past, when asked about Ronnieâs job, he was evasive, saying he did odd jobs and was unwilling to elaborate. Naturally, they didnât press him further. But now, Jason felt he knew what Ronnie was really up to, which was the drug trade.
It was a business that could lead to a death sentence.
Jason swallowed hard before asking âWhat did you put in that bread?â
Ronnie replied calmly, âDonât you already know?â
âWhen did you start with drugs?â Jason asked curiously
âYou shouldnât ask anything none of your business,â Ronnie said slowly.
âItâs your first time eating it. Itâs okay, youâll quit slowly,â Ronnie reassured.
Jason didnât press further, knowing that the more secrets he knew, the more trouble he would get into âHow long have you been using it?â
Ronnie frowned while saying, âItâs none of your concern.â He had already made it clear to Jason not to ask, but Jason kept pushing, so he had to be more blunt.
Jason was taken aback before stepping closer and saying, âRonnie, I wonât ask things that i shouldnât, but do you have any more of that bread? I want
same.â
Ronnie looked up at Jason in shock. âWhat did you say?â
Jason grabbed Ronnieâs arm and spoke earnestly, âI want more because it made me so happy. Please give me some more.
Jasonâs eyes were full of anticipation. In the entertainment industry, many people did drugs but Jason had never done it before, not because he was virtuous, but because he lacked the courage. However, things were different now. His life had been ruined by Gina, and he could never become a big star again. Nowadays, he was in a daze and unable to find any joy, but that bread with drugs gave him unprecedented happiness
Once he had tasted it, he couldnât forget and didnât want to lose that feeling
Ronnie pulled Jasonâs hand away and said, âI donât want to hurt you.
âYouâre not hurting me; youâre helping me. Give it to me, please. Iâm begging you. Otherwise, I canât go on. If you donât give it to me, Iâll kill myself since thereâs no point in living. Throughout my whole life, Iâve been living in Ginaâs shadow. Only that stuff can bring me happiness now. Thatâs the only thing.â
Ronnie could see that Jason was desperate and would continue pestering him, so he hit the mark, if you want it from me, I canât just give it to you for free and you have to buy it. Since my supply is high quality and very pure, the price, of course, is not low.â
Ronnie was someone who respected othersâ destinies, even if it was his brother. After having tried to dissuade Jason but Jason wouldnât listen, Ronnie wouldnât waste his breath trying to persuade him further.
Now that Jason realized that Ronnie wasnât only using drugs, but also dealing them.
Talking about money, Jasonâs face changed because he didnât have much money left after paying his company the penalty for contract breach. Even if he could afford it for a while, he couldnât sustain it. âWeâre brothers. Canât you give me some? In return, Iâll do anything for you as long as you ask.â
Jason paused before continuing, âI can do everything except killing, especially not Gina because I canât touch her.
âI can help you sell drugs, recruit new users, anything Jason had given up on everything to get more drugs.
âNo, you should quit.â
Ronnie didnât want to waste words, so he stood up and prepared to leave. However, Jason grabbed his arm. âWait, Ronnie, donât be so heartless. Weâre

brothers, canât you just give it to me?â
Ronnie detected a hint of threat in Jasonâs tone, which puzzled him. âNo.â
âThen weâll both die.â Jason suddenly snapped.
Ronnie remained calm, only raising his eyebrows in slight surprise. âWhat?â
âIâll call the police to report you,â
Jason took out his phone and was about to call the police.
âAre you crazy?â Ronnie was so
was so angry
that he slapped Jasonâs phone away.
But Jason smiled triumphantly. âAre you scared? Ronnie, weâre brothers. Thereâs no need to make things ugly, right?â
Ronnie never expected Jason to go as far as threatening to call the police, only then realized Jason had truly lost it. If Jason werenât his brother, Ronnie would have already taken action and possibly killed him.
All this trouble was because Jason had eaten that bread.
Ronnie would not kill Jason for the sake of their relationship, instead, he asked again, âAre you sure you want to ruin your life!â
âWhat are you talking about? My life is already ruined, thanks to Gina
To Jason, there was no going back.
But last night, he had an incredibly pleasant dream that he never wanted to wake up from, and desperately wanted to keep that dream going.
if he couldnât, he genuinely felt he couldnât go on living
âFine, I can give it to you, but you need to keep your mouth shut. Donât say a word to anyone. If you want to do this, thatâs your choice. You donât wish to drag the rest of the family into this, right?â Ronnie asked.
Jason hadnât thought that far but he understood that the fewer people who knew about Ronnieâs drug dealing, the better.
He wasnât stup i enough to announce this to everyone.
âDonât worry,â Jason said.
âAlright.â
Without another word, Ronnie went to his room, took out a small bag of drugs, and handed it to Jason. âControl your dosage. I wonât teach you how to use it. You can take it directly if you want.â
Jasonâs eyes lit up upon seeing this as he didnât expect Ronnie to be so accommodating. He was a bit excited while saying, âThank you, Ronnie. I appreciate it.â
Ronnie remained expressionless. âWhen you regret it, just donât blame me
âI wonât, I promise,â âJason said with conviction.
As Ronnie loft Jasonâs room, he heard the door lock behind him, thinking that Jason was so eagar.
After that, he went downstairs to the living room, where Noah was sitting on the couch. The floor was littered with fruit peels, and the trash can was right next to Noah, but he had deliberately not thrown the trash away.
âNoah, donât litter, Bonnie said while grabbing a broom to clean up

Chapter 444
Noah lifted his feet to let Ronnie sweep the floor. âI litter because I know youâre good at chores. By the way, is it true that you served in a private army for royal families abroad? You werenât just a s e a n t taking care of the food and daily necessities of the soldiers, were you? I remember you werenât this good at taking care of people before.â
Since Noah felt that Ronnie looked down on him yesterday, Noah had been speaking to Ronnie more rudely and critically.
