When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 458
Ibrahim watched the scene unfold with a calm and composed demeanor.
Shane distanced himself from Ethan with fear evident in his eyes. âMr. Jackson, the interest rate is too high. Thereâs no way Iâm signing this contract. Even if you hit me, I wonât sign it. If it comes down to it, weâll both go down togetherâ
âYou son of aâ¦â
Ethanâs temper flared again, but just as he was about to strike, ibrahim stepped in to hold him back. âHey, Mr. Jackson, donât get worked up. Come on, weâre all educated people here. Letâs talk it out.â
Shane, who had previously looked down on Ibrahim, now felt a hint of gratitude towards him and quickly seized the opportunity. âThatâs right, letâs talk, donât light.â
Ethan retorted, âIâm not a gentleman.â
Hearing this, Shane shrank back.
Ibrahim motioned for Ethan to calm down. âMr. Jackson, take it easy. Let me handle this.â
He took the contract and approached Shane. âMr. Benderson, let me explain. If you had just signed the contract earlier, we wouldnât be in this mess. Youâve been using a video to threaten Mr. Jackson. Did you ever consider that you also have your dirty laundry?â
Shane remained defiant. âSo, youâre saying I have a few skeletons in my closet. Thatâs not a big deal, you can just call the cops on me if you want.â
Ibrahim chuckled. âMr. Benderson, do you think no one knows about your drug use and dealing?â
Shaneâs face paled instantly. His drug use had been a long-standing issue, but he had only dealt drugs once and then stopped because he didnât have a stable supply to continue and was fear of the severe consequences like a death sentence. He couldnât believe that Ibrahim had discovered this.
In disbelief, Shane looked at Ethan. âMr. Jackson, did you investigate me?â
Ethan hadnât investigated him and Ibrahim was the one who found out. However, he wasnât going to miss the chance to claim credit saying, âWhy, canât! investigate you? You messed with me, Shane, and now youâre going to pay for it.â
Shane was instantly terrified. âPlease, donât tell anyone. Mr. Jackson, Iâll sign the contract. Right now.â
Shane quickly grabbed a pen and signed his name on the contract, muttering, Iâll repay
ay you in half a month, just half a month.â
âHalf a month? Thatâs not acceptable, Mr. Benderson. The minimum term is two months.â
âWhat?â Shane was stunned.
Two months meant that he would owe Ethan 30 million dollars and he simply didnât have that much money.
Ibrahim clicked his tongue before saying, âMr. Benderson, what are you questioning? Do you think thereâs still room for negotiation? If you donât want to borrow for two months, I can call the police right now and have them come over. How about that?â
Ibrahim was true to his word and pulled out his phone to start dialing.
Shane immediately pleaded, âNo, please donât agree, two months will be fine.â
Ibrahim looked pleased. âSee, Mr. Benderson? If you had agreed earlier, we could have settled this in the first minute of our meeting. In that case, we wonât waste each otherâs time, donât you think so?â
Hence, he handed the contract to Ethan, who took it and smiled triumphantly âAlright, thatâs it for today, Shane, remember to repay the money jobwo
months!

ying this, Ethan got up and left, with Ibrahim following closely behind.
After saying
60%
Watching the two walk away, Shane regretted deeply, wishing he could travel back to last night and slap himself for scheming against Ethan. He covered his face and cried out in despair, âItâs over, everything is over!â
At the Norwood International Airport, Gina was waiting for the flight to Mosnioca as Dylan had already placed the order for the medical equipment she required.
Given the high value of the equipment, she wanted to personally oversee both its shipment and storage to avoid any future disputes.
Additionally, according to Michaelâs information, Keith was still alive but had been smuggled out of Shyran, possibly to Mosniaca through sea transport Gina had arranged for people at various ports in Mosnicca to inform her of any updates so she could rescue Keith
After boarding the plane, Gina noticed Ethan was also on board.
Ethan, who had been lounging comfortably, became uneasy upon seeing Gina and wondered why she was on the same flight.
Gina glanced at Ethan but then ignored him, while Ethan kept sneaking glances at her,
On the other hand, Gina paid him no mind and slept through the flight.
After getting off the plane, Gina, who had enough rest, went straight to the medical equipment company, YL Medtechs.
Upon arrival, Gina met with the sales manager, who greeted her. âMiss Miller, welcome. You must be tired after such a long flight. Let me take you to the VIP lounge to rest for a bit. Our boss will come to greet you personally.â
Gina refused, âNo need for all that. Just take me to inspect the equipmentâ
The manager
was surprised by Ginaâs straightforwardness and hesitated. âMiss Miller, Iâm sorry, but I canât take you to inspect the equipment just yet.â
âWhy not?â Gina asked succinctly.
The manager smiled apologetically. âMiss Miller, Iâm sorry, but I canât say. Is it okay for our boss to explain everything when he arrives?â
âNo,â Gina replied.
Her answer left the manager at a loss. âWell, this is
âIs there something wrong with the equipment? Is it damaged? If thereâs a problem, just tell me directly. Donât beat around the bush.â
er was helpless. âMiss Miller, itâs not that I donât want to tell you, I really canât. Only our boss can discuss this matter with you.â
The manager
âFine, then where is he?â
âHeâs in his office, but heâs currently meeting with a customer, so he canât see you right now,â the manager explained.
Gina would never make things difficult for the staff, but she had made an appointment with the boss, who had assured her that he would meet her as soon as she arrived. Yet now, during her scheduled time, he was with another customer.
Gina found it unacceptable and said firmly. âTake the to your bossâs office.â
The manager was troubled. âThisâ¦â
âyou donât lead me, Iâll find it myself.â Gina stepped out, ready to search on her own
Worried that Gina would disturb others by wandering around, the manager quickly went forward to stop her. âMiss Miller, please wait. Iâll take you to him.â
Gina followed the manager to the CEOâs office and as soon as the manager opened the door, she saw Ethan sitting on the sofa.
