When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 446
âDo you know what is drug injection? If you donât, I can demonstrate it to you, and youâll understand deeply,â Ronnie said, still holding the syringe.
âOh, and I forgot to mention earlier, your wife and kids might not be very safe right now either.â Ronnie then put down the syringe and took out his phone to make a call.
The call was connected, and Spencer could hear the voices of his wife and children.
They cried out, âHelp, help us!â
When Spencer heard this, he became even more agitated, struggling desperately despite being pinned down. Then, Ronnie released his hand from Spencerâs mouth.
âI agree, Iâll do whatever you want. Just donât hurt my family. Please, I beg your Spencer pleaded.
Ronnie didnât waste any time. âWrite up the contract and give me the shares.â
He continued calmly, âIâm not taking your shares for free. I told you that Iâll help you deal with Gina. But right now, my family needs money, so you need to help me too.â
âOkay, I understand. Iâll do whatever you say. I donât want to die. I donât want to die yet.â
Ronnie let Spencer go and instructed, âAlright, go draft the contract. Iâll give you one hour.â
Spencer got up and nodded vigorously. âOkay, Iâll do it right away.â
On the other side, Gabriel accompanied Gina to Prover Hospital for Cathyâs daily check-up. As they arrived at the hospital entrance, Gina noticed a man sitting by a trash can not far away. The man looked haggard and weary, with his head hanging down, but his figure seemed familar.
Gina stopped in her tracks to take a closer look.
âWhatâs wrong?â Gabriel asked, stopping as well.
âIâm going to check on something,â Gina replied while Gabriel followed her.
âXander?â
Ginaâs voice made Xander lift his head.
He was unshaven, with vacant eyes. âMiss Miller.â
*What are you doing here?â Gina asked.
have Xander looked dejected. âMiss Miller, my father is missing and I canât find any trace of him. The police
no news either.â
âMy dad might be gone.â After Xander finished speaking, he couldnât hold back his tears. âMiss Miller, my dad went missing near Prover Hospital. I donât know where else to look for him, so Iâve been waiting here, hoping that maybe one day heâll come back and Iâll be here to take him home.â
Xander knew that what he was saying was unlikely.
It had been so many days and there was still no news of his father, so he was probably gone.
Xander broke down, unable to comprehend how to continue living without hitlosest family member.
Xander suddenly bowed while facing Ginu. âMiss Miller, Iâm sorry but I have to beg you. Please help me find my father. Whether heâs dead or alive, I need

to see him. I am not capable enough to find him on my own. I donât understand why he disappeared without a trace. He was an honest man who had never offended anyone. How could this happen for no reason?â
âMiss Miller, please help me and I will repay you. I beg you.â Xander said, bowing his head to Gina.
Gina hurriedly stopped him, âLook at me first.â
Xander stood straight there with tears all over his face.
âI donât have time latelyâ¦â
Before Gina could finish her sentence, Xander assumed she was refusing him. He didnât want to be a bother and thought that it was understandable if she didnât want to help him. After all, they werenât closely related, so why should she help?
âMiss Miller, I understand. Iâm sorry for wasting your time. Also, I want to clarity that I didnât come here to wait for you on purpose. I wonât come here again. Goodbye.â
Gina was puzzled upon hearing his words.
âWait, listen to me,â she said with a hint of exasperation. âWhat I meant was that I donât have time right now to handle additional matters, but Gabriel does. Iâll ask Gabriel to help you find your father.â Then, Gina turned to look at Gabriel.
Since Gina asked for his help, Gabriel was more than willing. âWright, Iâll help you look for your father.â
Xander was overwhelmed with gratitude. âReally?â
âOf course.
Go home and
d wait for news.â
Gabriel noticed how exhausted Xander looked, likely from not sleeping well for several days.
âThank you!â
Then, Xander left obediently.
Ronnie returned home late at night while Ella was still awake, sitting in the living room.
âMom, why are you still up so late?â Ronnie asked with concern as he approached her.
âI couldnât sleep. You werenât home all day, and you didnât answer your phone. I was worried about you,â Ella replied.
*I was out taking care of some things. Thereâs no need to worry about me.â
Ronnie continued, âMom, you should go to bed. Itâs very late, and your health isnât good.â
Ella held Ronnieâs hand. âRonnie, tell me what you were doing. Things are getting harder for our family and I donât want us to fall apart.â
Ronnie was surprised âMom, why would you say that? I was out handling important business. Why would it cause our family to fall apart?â
âDid you go to find Gina? Forget about it. We canât win against her. If you provoke her again, who knows what sheâll do to retaliate against us? Our family canât take any more of this. Letâs just live peacefully, Ella said, sounding resigned.
When Ronnie heard Ellaâs words, he laughed. âMom, youâre overthinking. I went to Oriata City just now for business.â
âOriata City? What were you doing there?â Ella suddenly remembered something. âThe headquarters of Quaria Jewelry is in Oriata City. You didnât go there to cause trouble, did you?â
Thinking of this, Ella was worried again.

She no longer hoped that her other children could outsmart Gina and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
âMom, youâre overthinking this. I didnât go to Quaria. I went to Top Shrine Jewelry!â
Ella thought the brand name sounded familiar, starting to recall that Top Shrine Jewelry had been at odds with Quaria Jewelry.
The incident between these two companies had made headlines before.
However, she didnât realize that Ronnie had gone to Top Shrine to recruit allies.
âDid you go to buy jewelry? Were you planning to buy a gift for me? Thereâs no need to spend money on that,â Ella said. After experiencing so many ups
and downs in life, she no longer cared or had the mood of dressing up.
