When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 53
âI forgot the bank card with the 4 million dollars at home. Iâve called the household staff to bring it over. Please wait a moment. Miss Miller. You must be tired from rushing over,â Hazel said.
Gina stared at her intently and said bluntly, âWha
are you trying to do by delaying?â
Hazelâs heart s k p ed a beat, and she thought, âHow could she see through my intentions so easily?â
Unable to come up with a way out, Hazel stopped beating around the bush and said, âMiss Miller, I didnât mean to waste your time. I really have something important to discuss with you. Please sit down and give me a few minutes.â
In just a few seconds, Hazel began to plead desperately. She was trembling uncontrollably.
It seemed like if Gina didnât agree to talk to her, she would face terrible consequences.
Gina remained indifferent and said, âSpeak your mind.â
Thank you.â Hazel quickly wiped away her tears and stopped sobbing, afraid of sounding incoherent and annoying Gina.
Gina sat down but didnât drink the wine Hazel poured for her.
Hazel handed the bank card with the 4 million dollars to Gina and said, âThe password is six eights.â
Gina took it and kept it.
Hazel then said, âMiss Miller, Iâm truly sorry for offending you at the birthday party last time. I realize my mistake now. When I got home, I was severely reprimanded by my family.â
Hazel rolled up her sleeve, revealing bruises on her arms.
Seeing the injuries on Hazelâs face, Gina knew she had been beaten up, but she didnât expect it was her family who did it.
However, Gina was only slightly surprised and didnât care about it.
âI was bedridden for three days after being beaten, so Iâm only contacting you today. Iâm really sorry for keeping you waiting,â Hazel said.
Initially, Hazel asked Gina to give her a few days to come up with the money. Gina almost forgot about the 4 million dollars these days. After all, it wasnât a large sum of money.
But she had to take back what was hers.
âOnce again, Iâm sorry.â Hazel apologized to Gina sincerely again.
âMiss Miller, Iâd like to ask you, out of my sincere apology, to say a few good words to Neil and retract the decision to terminate our cooperation. Please help me. Or my parents will kick me out of the house. I know Mr. Jackson will listen to you. If you help me, Iâll be at your disposal, and I can even help you deal with Olivia.â
The incident at the birthday party made Hazel realize that Olivia was just a fake friend.
Olivia actually watched as Hazel was kicked out, and afterwards, she even blocked Hazelâs number.
Hazel was really afraid that her parents would disown her. After all, she had other siblings, and because of her, the Jackson Group had suspended cooperation with the Baker Group.
Hazel had been beaten up and was told that if she couldnât fix the situation, her parents would disown her. If that was the case, she had no one to rely on.

She was used to a life of luxury, not knowing any life skills and unwilling to do lower-class work to support herself. Hazel had longed to marry into a top-tier family like Olivia and live a leisurely life.
She was reluctant to come to Gina for
for help, but she had no choice.
After all, Gina had somehow won Neilâs favor.
Gina patiently listened to Hazelâs story and then calmly said, âNo.â
She refused decisively, without any hesitation.
Hazel was stunned. She didnât understand what went wrong.
Did she not cry pitifully enough, or was her apology not sincere enough?
Couldnât even these actions move Gina?
Hazel felt that she was heartless
Hazel froze for a moment. She even wondered if she had misheard. She asked blankly, âWhat?â
âI said I wonât help you.â Gina repeated calmly.
Hazel couldnât hold back her frustration. She had already let go of her dignity, but Gina still wouldnât budge.
âWhy? Miss Miller, it was my fault to break your potion. I compensated you and apologized. Canât you show me some mercy?â
Hazelâs face, pale with anxiety, forced a smile that was even worse than crying.
Gina smiled faintly, âApologizing is what you should do after making a mistake. But you want me to do extra for you. Why should I agree? The decision to terminate cooperation was made by Neil. If you want him to retract it, you should go to him,
not me
After saying this, Gina got up and prepared to leave.
How could Hazel still have the face to go to the Jackson family for help now?
She couldnât even be allowed to enter the Jackson farmily. Hazel thought that Gina was simply making things difficult for her.
It was fine if Gina didnât help her, but Gina taunted her.
Unable to bear it any longer, Hazel suddenly stood up, blocking Ginaâs way, and said, âStop right there. Do you have a heart of stone? No wonderâ¦â
Hazel suddenly sneered, beginning to mock Gina, âNo wonder your family, even the Jackson family, wants nothing to do with you. You have no human warmth or understanding. Youâre just a pathetic creature. It serves you right that you are abandoned by your family, you poor thing.â
Outsiders didnât know that it was Gina who had taken the initiative to propose cutting off relations with the Miller family, and they thought that Gina was disowned.
Gina didnât care how others interpreted it. As long as she achieved her goal of cutting ties with the Miller family, it was fine.
It was too childish for Hazel to try to hurt her with this matter.
Gina replied calmly, with a hint of sarcasm, âIs that so? Iâm a pathetic creature? Then what about you? Youâre about to be kicked out of your family.â
