When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 55
Soon, the hidden room was opened.
Following her instinct, Hazel knelt and pleaded, âIâm sorry, Miss Miller, I lost my mindâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, she was grabbed by the neck by Gabriel, who had never harmed women.
But Hazelâs actions had crossed the line. If anything happened to Gina because of those thugs, he would hardly find solace even if he killed Hazel.
So, he exerted force, the veins on his arm bulging as he squeezed her neck. Hazelâs face was pale in an instant.
âMr. Jackson, have mercy, Hazel pleaded desperately.
Seeing Gabriel so angry, Gina was somewhat surprised.
It seemed like he cared a lot about her.
There was a strange stirring in Ginaâs heart.
Gabrielâs face was cold as frost, his eyes filled with chilling intent as he said, âYou donât deserve to live.â
Hazel began to roll her eyes, her feet slowly leaving the ground.
Please. Mr. Jackson⦠Pleaseâ¦
Gina didnât want Hazelâs life, and she calmly said, âLet her
go.
Gabriel released his grip, and Hazel instantly fell to the ground, coughing violently.
He turned to Gina, making an effort to suppress the anger, and his tone softened considerably as he spoke, âGina, do you want to deal with her yourself? Alright, itâs up to you.â
Hazel couldnât believe it. She wondered if she had misheard. Gabriel, who seemed like a demon when facing her, could speak so gently to C i n a.
Hazelâs thoughts were quickly interrupted by her coughing fit. She felt like she was about to cough up her lungs.
Gina walked
up Hazel and squatted down to meet her eyes.
Hazel sobbed, âMiss Miller, spare me. Iâm reallyâ¦â
âShh.â Gina made a hushing gesture to signal Hazel to be quiet.
She didnât want to hear Hazelâs insincere apologies now.
Gina smiled faintly, âMiss Baker, congratulations on finding yourself a new home.â
Hazel froze, her neck still tingling with discomfort, and she said h o a r s e l y , âMiss Miller, I donât understand what you mean.â
Gina pointed to the surveillance video and said, âWerenât you thoughtful enough to record all your criminal evidence? You donât have to worry about being homeless. The jail will be your new home.â
Hazel turned pale, her voice trembling with tears as she said, âPlease, Miss Miller, I donât want to go to jail. You wanted to know who Olivia coerced, right? Iâll tell you now.â
âLily, right?â Gina beat her to the punch with that familiar name.

Hazel was stunned, feeling like she had lost her last bargaining chip. Her heart sank, and she was unable to utter a word.
âMiss Baker, in future negotiations, come up with some valuable chips. The information you can provide, I must say, is worthless. You donât even have the qualifications to negotiate with me. By the way, you are truly a good friend of Oliviaâs, resorting to the same coercion and enticement, Gina sneered.
âRemember my words. Maybe you can use them in future negotiations, provided youâre still free and have the chance to do it. Gina stood up, smiling faintly as she finished speaking.
Hazel felt like she was in the abyss.
âLetâs go,â Gina said to Gabriel.
Gabriel instructed David to call the police and handle the follow-up matters.
Then the two of them left together.
Inside the Rolls Royce, Gabriel cleared his throat and asked, âWere you scared just now? Was I too harsh? Gina, rest assured, I would never treat you like that.â
Gabriel was worried that his fierce treatment of Hazel just now might make him feel like a stranger.
Gina shook her head and said, âYou were angry because you were worried about me. I donât find it frightening. Anyway, thank you.â
Gabriel relaxed, and he even received thanks from Gina, which instantly improved his mood.
âGina, you donât have to be so polite to me. If you want, you can ask me to do anything for you,â Gabriel said sincerely.
He knew that Gina was very independent and could handle many things herself, but he just wanted to do something for his beloved, to make her less tired, and to protect her.
Hearing Gabrielâs sincere words, Gina felt her ears burning inexplicably.
It felt a bit embarrassing.
It was the first time she felt this way.
Suddenly, Gabrielâs phone rang, breaking the slightly intimate atmosphere in the car.
Gabriel was somewhat displeased, but seeing that it was his father calling, he suppressed his displeasure and answered the call.
Gabriel said, âDad?â
Neil said, âYou brat, are you still with Gina?â
âYesâ
âTve had food prepared at home. Bring Gina back for dinner,â Neil said,
If it werenât for the doctorâs repeated warnings that Neil couldnât be discharged now, Neil would have wanted to rush back home to have dinner with Gina.â
âAlright. Gabriel agreed.
Let Gina get more familiar with the house,â Neil said meaningfully.
Gabriel understood. Neil already regarded Gina as his future daughter-in-law, so it was natural for her to get acquainted

with the house.

He didnât expect Neil to be so satisfied with Gina. Perhaps this was Ginaâs charm. How could anyone who knew her not like
Hanging up the phone, Gabriel said to Gina, âI canât take you home now, so letâs have dinner at my place.â
NoGina tried to refuse.
Before Gina could refuse, Gabriel interrupted her, âDinner has already been prepared at Dadâs orders. If you donât come, itâll
bea waste.
Then she would go. After all, wasting food was shameful.
The Rolls Royce turned around and headed towards the Jackson familyâs mansion.
At this moment, a Ferrari was parked at the entrance of the mansion.
Jasmine stood at the entrance of the Jackson family, her eyes red. She knew that Neil was almost killed by the soup she had brought
If Neil were indirectly killed by her, she would become an enemy of the Jackson family and a murderer.
Then her dream of becoming Gabrielâs wife would be shattered.
Jasmine heard the sound of a car and looked up, seeing Gabrielâs Rolls-Royce approaching her.
