When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 49
Just no saw a few passersby watching the scene, feeling embarrassed by Ellaâs behavior. A i e now just wanted to pretend she didnât know Ella.
She averted her gaze, not even looking at Ella.
Olivia felt extremely embarrassed and signaled Ethan with her eyes. Ethan understood and greeted Ella proactively.
âElla.
A b b e immediately shot Ethan a stern glare.
Finally, a smile appeared on Ellaâs face. âEthan, what a coincidence.â
âMrs. Jackson, youâre here to visit Neil, right? Look, weâre about to become family soon. Why donât you take us in to visit Neil as well? Itâs unreasonable for us to show no concem every time Mr. Neil falls ill.â
couldnât hide her disdain when she noticed the shopping bags of supplements Ella had brought. She thought, These low-grade goods probably didnât even cost more than 20 thousand dollars altogether. How could Ella have the audacity to bring them here as gifts?â
Olivia was still desperately signaling Ethan.
Ethan said, âMom, Olivia is still recovering from her injuries and is weak, but she still came to visit Grandpa. Let them come with us.â
âIf sheâs weak, she should go home and rest. Besides, too many people will only make the air in the ward stale,â A b i e said.
Her words pierced Ellaâs and Oliviaâs hearts.
The engagement party was about to be held, and A i e still pretended to be unfamiliar with them and did not even respect them. She didnât even hide her dislike of the Miller family.
A b b e was annoyed and said, âLast time, you said that Phillip was hospitalized here too. Why canât you get in?â
A b i e didnât want to get involved in their affairs, but she could see that Ella and Olivia wanted to impress Neil, hoping to solidify their position in the Jackson family in the future.
Ella was indignant but still had to smile as she replied, âPhillipâs condition improved, so he was transferred to Vegate Central Hospitalâ
A b b i e thought, âImproved? More likely they couldnât afford the fees at Prover Hospital.â But A b b i e couldnât be bothered to expose them. She thought that once Ethan and Olivia were married, Ella might even want to use the Jackson familyâs money to treat her husband.
Just thinking about it made A b b i e angry.
She didnât know why she would end up with being in-laws with such a family.
The heiress of the Miller family was a country bumpkin, and their adopted daughter was nothing more than eye candy. The only reason the engagement couldnât be dissolved was that Neil hadnât approved.
What made A angrier was that her son was quite fond of Olivia, openly and covertly siding
A b bi e said. âThe engagement hasnât even been held yet. Thereâs no need to rush. Mrs. Miller, youâd better take your daughter home to rest. Ethan, letâs go.â
It was clear A b i e wasnât going to take them in.
Ella was trembling with anger, unable to say a word. Ethanâs parentsâ indifference had made her lose face in front of the guard.
She felt like she couldnât hold her head up anymore.
Olivia, with red eyes, looked at Ethan. Ethan felt sorry for her but didnât dare to go against his mother. He could only say, âMom, Dad, you two go in first.â
A b b i e was fuming with anger and snorted coldly, then turned and walked away. She wasnât going to bother with her useless

As they entered the hospital. A b b i e became more and more furious. âOlivia hasnât even married into our family, and sheâs already bewitched Ethan.â
Clinton. b husband, felt a bit helpless. âHe likes her. We canât intervene.â
âWe canât intervene?â A i e said angry.
A b bi e was annoyed by Clintonâs indifferent attitude. The marriage is not seuled yet, and besides, what can the Miller family offer Ethan? Theyâre just leeches. I canât accept Olivia marrying Ethan. We need to find a better match for him.â
Clinton was puzzled. âA better match? Who?â
A i e rolled her eyes and said, âThere are plenty. Someone like Jasmine would be better.â
Besides, there were plenty of families in Wrinster wealthier and more influential than the Miller family.
As they chatted, they arrived at Neilâs ward.
Gina came out of Neilâs room, and A b bi e, who hadnât seen her before, was surprised to see a stranger walking out of Neilâs
room.
But although Gina was dressed plainly, her demeanor was extraordinary, and she was very beautiful. A bi e thought that it would be better for Ethan to like Gina than to like Olivia.
However, she quickly regained her senses. After all, she valued the family background of her future daughter-in-law. A b i e. thought, âI need to find out who this lady is. But since she could visit Neil, she shouldnât be from a poor family!
Isaac came out of the room just then, and A i e asked him, âWho was that lady just now?â
Isaac replied, âMadam, sheâs the student who saved Neil on the roadside. Sheâsâ¦â
âIsaac, hurry up and fetch the laptop from my car. I need it urgently, Gabriel said.
Their conversation was interrupted by Gabrielâs arrival.
Isaac didnât have time to explain further and went to get the laptop.
A b i e felt a bit uncomfortable being interrupted, but since Gabriel was the most capable person in the Jackson family, she didnât want to show her displeasure. However, Gina had left a deep impression on her.

So, that lady was Neilâs savior, A b i e thought.
Ab e snapped out of it and changed the subject with ease. âGabriel, howâs dad?â
âHeâs out of danger,â Gabriel said casually.
âThatâs a relief,â A b b i e said, patting her chest, looking relieved. Then she waved to Clinton to enter the ward.
After a while, Isaac brought Gabrielâs laptop. Gabriel instructed him, âIf they ask you about Gina, donât say anythingâ
Isaac was surprised, feeling something was off when Gabriel suddenly appeared just now and interrupted him. âSo this was what Gabriel meant, Isaac said.
âYes, Mr. Gabriel.â Isaac had worked in the Jackson family for many years. Although he had doubts, he knew better than to ask or speculate. Just do as instructed by the employer.
