When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 67
âHeâs just a school board member, so how could he possibly have so much money to buy so many handbags for you in one go?â Ethan said. âHe probably embezzled and took bribes. You two shameless lovebirds really have no shame!â
âWho are the shameless lovebirds you are talking about?â
After paying. Gabriel, who had discussed with the sales assistant about the delivery of the handbags, walked out of the inner hall with a gloomy expression.
Ethan instantly felt a chill down his spine. He said, âUncle, Uncle Gabriel?â
The sales assistant was a little surprised, thinking, âMr. Jackson is actually the uncle of this pretentious guy? Though they donât seem much different in age, their vibes are worlds apart. Not only that, but their partners are also worlds apart. Obviously, Mr. Jackson has better taste!
Oliviaâs face turned pale, thinking. âDid Gabriel overhear what we said just now?â
She lowered her voice and asked Ethan quietly, âIs, is your uncle a school board member of Trowell University?â
At this moment,
Oliviaâs mind was blank.
Ethan gulped and said, âI think⦠he is.â
At this moment, Olivia also remembered that Gabriel had visited during the centennial celebration of the university a year ago, but she did not see Gabrielâ¦
However, she never expected that the school board member who helped Gina was Gabriel
After all, Lily did not tell her clearly back then.
Gabriel looked at Ethan and Olivia with a fierce gaze. Ethan felt a shiver down his spine under the intense chill in Gabrielâs
eyes.
Olivia could not help but tremble all over. She was a little afraid and wanted to hide behind Ethan.
âIâm asking you,â Gabriel said. âWho are the shameless lovebirds youâre talking about?â
Gabrielâs tone turned a few degrees colder, and the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger.
âItâs a misunderstanding, Uncle Gabriel, Ethan said. âItâs a misunderstanding. I thought⦠Beads of sweat appeared on Ethanâs head. He was nervous, so much so that he faltered when he talked.
He did not regret scolding C i n a. What he regretted was scolding his uncle along with Gina.
âMisunderstanding?â Cabriel said. âArenât you going to report it to the education bureau?â
âNo, no!â Ethan replied as he gulped.
He gave Gina a glance with dissatisfaction, realizing previously that his uncle seemed rather close to her. He bit the bullet and said, âUncle Gabriel, are you bewitched by her? Sheâs not a good woman. Donât be fooled by her. Her private life is very messy. This country bumpkin looks honest, but sheâs very s l u t t y.â
âSheâs the one who seduced you, right?â Ethan added, immediately turning the tables.
âB s t rd!â Gabriel said.
His face was extremely gloomy. He punched Ethanâs face.
Chapter 67
Ethan immediately felt dizzy. He lost his balance and fell to the floor.
Olivia screamed in fear. She was afraid that Gabrielâs list would land on her in the next moment. After all, Gabriel had already hit Ethan, his own nephew, for the sake of an outsider like Gina.
In addition to fear, Olivia felt a hint of jealousy. She thought, âWhy would Gabriel stand up for Gina?â
Ethanâs nose was bleeding due to the punch.
He wiped it, feeling a little dizzy. He turned to Gabriel and said,
cle Gabriel, why did you hit meâ¦
Although Ethan was about to explode from anger, he did not dare to vent it at Gabriel.
âYou asked for it, Gabriel said coldly as he flexed his wrist.
âShow some respect to Gina,â he emphasized. Tâm the one pursuing her!â
Then, Gabriel glared at Olivia coldly. The coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze people to death.
He did not lay a hand on Olivia because Olivia was a woman and there was a vast difference in strength between them. However, Olivia had already crossed the boundary and went beyond what was acceptable to him.
Olivia was so scared that she was about to cry. Gabrielâs incomparably handsome face now seemed like a demon from hell to
her.
Cold sweat broke out on her back. It was only then that she recovered from her fear. She went to help Ethan, who was sitting on the floor, and said, â1. Iâm sorry, Mr. Jackson. Itâs all hearsay. We shouldnât make wild guesses without evidence. My sisterâ¦â
âWhoâs your sister?â Gina said. âDo you not always say that I have severed ties with the Miller family?â
Gina knew that when Olivia said this, there was a hint of bragging in her tone because Olivia finally got her wish and became the sole heiress of the Miller family.
Gabriel looked at Olivia coldly and said, âYou only need to apologize to me, huh?â
âIâm sorry, Ginaâ Olivia said. âMiss Miller, I was wrong. I spoke without a filter. I hope you can forgive me and not hold it against me.â
Forgive!â Gina thought
She laughed and said, âI wonât forgive youâ
The person she would never forgive was Olivia, who would never apologize sincerely and would continue to cause trouble. Olivia shuddered, truly fearing that Gabriel would hit her because of Ginaâs words.
She hurriedly continued to please Gina, saying, âSo Miss Miller, what do you need me to do? Iâll do whatever you say so that you can let off steam.â
Gina was deep in thought. Although she did not intend to forgive Olivia, she found this suggestion acceptable. She said, âGo outside and yelled three times, saying âTh a bit c h. Iâm shameless. I love slandering and framing others.â
Oliviaâs face turned pale. She did not expect Ginaâs request to be so twisted and out of line.
She thought, âIsnât she making me lose face by asking me to shout like this on the street? Gina is too vicious!â
Olivia gritted her teeth in anger.
Chapter 67
âWhatâs wrong?â Gina said as she looked at Olivia calmly, âNot willing, huh?â
Olivia felt that she could not accept it. She looked at Ethan as if asking for help, hoping that this nephew of Gabriel could help her say a few words.
Ethan did want to plead for Olivia, but when he looked at Gabriel, who supported Gina, he could not bring himself to say it. He did not want to be punched again.
Moreover, Gabrielâs gaze was too terrifying. It was as if he had seen through his intention to speak up for Olivia. His gaze seemed to be saying. âIf you dare to speak up for Olivia, get out and shout together with her
He could not afford to lose face.
He and Olivia stared at each other for a long while.
In the end, Ethan could not help but say, âHurry up and go!â
Olivia was dumbfounded, thinking. I didnât expect Ethan to say such words. Not only did he not speak up for me, but he also allied with Gina. Iâm so disappointed in Ethan!â
Gina repeated Ethanâs words with a faint smile, saying, âYeah. Hurry up and go. What are you waiting for? Your Ethan is rushing you.â
Oliviaâs heart felt like it had been stabbed with a knife. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead. She got up in humiliation, reluctantly walked out of the door, and stood in the street. She was trembling all over as shame overwhelmed her.
Her eyes quickly turned teary.
She said, Tm a bitc . Iâm shamelessâ¦â
Gina walked to the doorway unhurriedly and reminded Olivia warmly, saying. âYour voice isnât loud enough.â
Olivia gritted her teeth and raised her voice.
