When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 73
âI will keep an eye on you,â Noah said fiercely to Gina. âIf you dare to cause trouble, donât assume that I wonât dare to lay at hand on you!â
He thought. âI know I may not be a match for Gina, but I canât lose in terms of being intimidating. I canât let Olivia down. After all, Olivia once said Iâm her best brother, and she even considered marrying me
âYou dare to lay a hand on her?â Gabriel said. His face darkened.
Noah thought. Could it be that this man is the man Gina has h k e d up with? But didnât Olivia mention that he is a middle- aged man? He doesnât seem like one. Maybe itâs some other man she has seduced. Gina has always had a messy private life. Iâve heard Olivia talk about it. Itâs simply unbearable to hear.â
Noah had always felt that it was very embarrassing to have a sister like Gina who lacked self-respect.
âWho are you?â Noah said. âWhat does it have to do with you? Donât meddle in other peopleâs business. Interested in her, huh: Let me kindly remind you not to touch her lest you catch a disease.â Noah thought it was a pleasure to be helpful by reminding Gabriel
Gabrielâs expression was extremely gloomy. He nearly said through gritted teeth, âYouâre asking for trouble! How dare you humiliate Gina like this?â
Gabriel could no longer hold back and wanted to lay a hand on Noah, but he was stopped by Gina.
âDonât do that. Gina said.
Gabriel paused his actions, even though he was puzzled.
He turned to glare at Noah and said, âIf you speak rudely again, I will make you pay the price.â
Noah was instantly displeased. âWho do you think you are?â he said. âAre you Ginaâs kept man? Gina, you earn money from that old man and let this man spend everything, huh? Or did you take away 600 million dollars just to indulge in pleasure and be a sugar mommy for male models?â
Gina shook her head helplessly and thought, Tsk, tsk, tsk⦠Indeed, thereâs no way to stop people who want to ask for
trouble.
Gina said indifferently, âHeâs Gabriel Jackson, the CEO of Jackson Group.â
When Noah heard this name, he felt as if his soul had left his body.
His legs went weak involuntarily. He swallowed nervously and slapped himself twice instinctively.
He said, âPfft, pfft, pfft. Mr. Jackson, Iâm sorry. I had some drinks just now and said nonsense. Please donât take offense. Today
is also the day our two families become relatives, so harmony is the most important thing. Donât be madâ
Noah tried his best to force out a smile that was uglier than a crying face.
âI still have something to do. so Iâll take my leave first,â Noah said. He wished he could slip away.
âWait,â Gina said, calling out to Noah to stop him.
Noah stopped in his tracks. His entire body was tensed, but Gina only handed him a file folder.
âPass this to Olivia,â she said.
âWhat is it?â Noah asked.

Gina didnât answer. âYouâd better not open it,â she said. âOtherwise, your sister will be angry
Noah instinctively wanted to argue with Gina again, but then he thought of Gabriel, who was beside her. Without saying anything, he took the file folder and hurriedly slipped away.
Gabriel was a little puzzled. âGina, donât you need him to apologize?â he said. âWhat he saidâ¦..
âItâs alright,â Gina said nonchalantly. âIâm used to it
She thought, Throughout the entire year after I returned to the Miller familyâs home, they said countless nasty things.
âBesides, their apologies are not sincere,â Gina said. âThey wonât repent and change. I donât need their apologies. Instead of listening to their hypocritical apologies, Iâd rather.
âLet them pay the price,â Gina added with a smile.
Gabriel understood. While his heart ached for Gina, he also felt that he was really lucky to have met a girl who was unafraid to express love and also willing to express hatred when necessary.
âBut I may need to apologize to you and Neil,â Gina said, changing the subject.
Gabriel was puzzled. âWhy?â he asked.
Gina lifted her eyes to look at him. âI wonât let this engagement party proceed smoothly,â she said. âI may damage the Jackson familyâs reputation, but Iâve long decided to do this. I wonât change my mind because of anything.â
There was indulgence and amusement in Gabrielâs eyes. âNo,â he said. âYou donât have to apologize. Iâll support you not matter what
you do
Gina felt a sense of warmth. âBut Ethan is still a member of the Jackson family,â she said.
She thought. You guys are a family after all.
Gina did not say out loud the second half of the sentence. She felt that even if Neil had a good impression of her and Gabriel seemed to quite like her, Ethan and their interests were the ones truly united. They were a family, sharing both glory and shame together.
Therefore, before she came, she had m e n t al l y prepared herself that Gabriel and Neil would make her estranged from them in the future, even to the point of becoming hostile toward herâ¦.
She was m a l l y prepared to accept this outcome, but she actually felt a little sad.
This was a feeling she did not have when she chose to sever ties with the Miller family.
âHeâs a member of the Jackson family, and he also has to pay the price for the s t p i d things he has done,â Gabriel said f i r m y. C i n a was in a daze for a moment. She thought, âWhy do I have the feeling that Gabriel knows a lot about my situation? But Iâve never mentioned to Gabriel what Ethan has done to me
At this moment, Gina heard the emcee announce the start of the engagement ceremony.
The two of them took their seats together.
In the dressing room, Olivia adjusted her gown and prepared to link arms with Ethan and appear in front of the guests. shortly.
Noah called her to walk to the side and handed the file folder to her, saying, âGina asked me to give it to you.â

Olivia was a little curious about what was inside, so she simply opened it and took out a photo. When she saw what was in the photo clearly, she gasped and her hand trembled. The photo fell to the floor. The reverse side happened to face upward.
Noah instinctively wanted to pick it up and take a look.
Olivia was agile, quickly stepping on it with her high heels. She tried her best to maintain her composure, saying, âDonât
move!â
Noah was stunned. He remembered Gina telling him not to open the file folder, or else Olivia would be angry. Initially, he did not believe it and thought Gina was playing tricks. Now, he wanted to take a look at the photo, but Oliviaâs reaction was
intense.
âAlright,â he said, complying obediently. âI wonât move
Olivia put away the photo and looked at the file folder in her hand in a fluster. It was like a hot potato. Her immediate reaction was to destroy everything in the file folder.
She saw a lighter on the table. She immediately took it and burned the file folder.
Sparks almost ignited the sofa beside them. Noah quickly poured a glass of water to extinguish them.
Then, Olivia rushed out of the dressing room without explaining anything. She borrowed a phone from a staff member and
called Gina.
Gina answered the call quickly.
âWhere did you get those things?â Olivia said. âNo. Whom did you ask to help you create those things? What do you want? Money? Blackmail is against the law!â
At this moment, Olivia completely shed her disguise and became hysterical like a shrew.
Listening to Oliviaâs breakdown, Gina smiled nonchalantly.
