“What’s your name?” Gabriel suddenly asked.

Mike was a little stunned, but with so many people watching, he didn’t want to appear cowardly. He deliberately said loudly, Tm Mike, what’s wrong?”

Gabriel’s expression was cold. “You said that someone in your family is a higher-up of the Bush Group. Who?”

Mike panicked and swallowed his saliva, but he was still stubborn. “Do I need to tell you? As long as you know that I’m someone you can’t afford to offend!”

Gabriel sneered. “Is that so? Then I’ll help you ask your relative if he can protect you today.”

“What do you mean?” Mike panicked.

Gabriel took out his phone and called Jabari, the president of the Bush Group. The two families were friends. Although the two of them couldn’t be said to be very familiar with each other, they were friends.

Jabari said, ‘Gabriel, it’s rare. You actually called me.”

“Hello, sorry to disturb you. I have something to ask you,” Gabriel replied.

Jabari said, “Sure, ask away.”

“Do you know Mike? He said that his relative is one of the higher-ups of the Bush Group. I’m here to ask if it’s true,” Gabriel asked.

Jabari thought for a moment. He had a better memory and immediately denied it. “No, but this Mike seems to be a small manager of one of our construction teams. He’s not related to our leadership.”

Gabriel said, “Alright, I understand. That’s all for now. Goodbye.”

Gabriel was on speaker. Everyone present heard it clearly and understood that Mike was just bragging.

Mike was completely flustered. He thought, Who exactly is this tall and extraordinary man in front of me?”

Mike really wanted to go back in time and slap himself a few times for talking nonsense just now.

Mike should have known that the man’s identity was not ordinary!

Before Mike could think of a way to beg for mercy, his phone rang. He picked up the call from his immediate superior in

fear..

The moment the boss opened his mouth, he cursed, “Mike, do you f**g want to die? Do you know who you’ve offended? You’ve offended the president of Jackson Group, Gabriel Jackson!”

Gabriel Jackson?.

Mike felt that he almost died, and it was difficult for him to recover from his shock for a long time.

Until his boss announced that Mike had been fired.

Then, his boss hung up as if he was afraid that he would be implicated.

Beads of sweat appeared on Mike’s forehead. Ignoring the pain in his knee, he quickly got up and knelt down in front of Gabriel again. “Mr. Jackson, I’m sorry. I was rude and looked down on you just now. Please forgive me this time!

Gabriel didn’t care about Mike’s begging. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Gina with a gentle expression. “Gina, how do you plan to deal with him?”

Gina said. “Call the police. He destroyed my medicine land, and we’ll consider it as intentional damage to someone else’s property. Also, he hit Ruby.”

Actually, Gina was not very angry about the destruction of the medicine land. It was mainly because Mike had kicked Ruby, which had crossed her bottom line.

“Okay,” Gabriel replied.

When he heard that they were going to call the police, Mike was so scared that he cried bitterly. “Mr. Jackson, Miss Miller, please let me go. I can compensate you. I can kneel down to apologize to you. Don’t call the police, okay? Don’t call the police!”

Gina and Gabriel couldn’t be bothered with Mike and directly called the police. Soon, the police came and took Mike away.

After settling the matter, Gina checked the medicine land and found that there were still some medicinal herbs that could be used. It was still enough to make a bottle of potion for Neil.

Back home, Ruby mysteriously pulled Gina into the room.

Gina saw that Ruby didn’t look too good and asked with concern, “Ruby, what’s wrong? Are you injured? Are you feeling unwell?”

Ruby shook her head and said. “Gina, tell me about Gabriel’s identity.”

“President of Jackson Group,” Gina replied.

The top ten company in the world?” Ruby was in disbelief. Although she did not know much about business and did not care much, she had heard about it. After all, Jackson Group was a company that had made its fortune in their city.

“Yes, it is,” Gina said calmly.

Ruby’s expression became solemn.

It was as if she was worried about something.

Gina was a little puzzled. “Ruby, what’s wrong?”

Ruby smiled, but her expression was a little unnatural. “I’m fine.”

After dinner, Ruby said to Gabriel, “Mr. Jackson, I’m sorry. There is only my room with Gina at home. It’s not suitable for you to sleep in the living room. Why don’t you go to town and book a hotel? I’m afraid you won’t be used to sleeping here.”

Gabriel felt that Ruby had suddenly become exceptionally distant from him.

Even the way Ruby addressed him had changed to Mr. Jackson.

Gabriel said, “Ruby, it’s fine. 111 sleep on the sofa.”

“You can’t,” Ruby said.

Gabriel opened his mouth, not knowing what to say,

He said. “Gina, help me persuade Ruby, I’ll sleep on the sofa. It’s really okay

Gina also felt that there was no problem. “Ruby, let him stay.”

Ruby was deep in thought. She sighed softly and said to Gina, “Gina, go to sleep first. I want to talk to Mr. Jackson.”

“Okay” Gina nodded and entered the room.

Gabriel and Ruby sat opposite each other.

Ruby had a serious expression on her face. She was not as kind as when they first met.

Ruby said. “Mr. Jackson, regardless of whether it’s your family background or personal ability, you’re outstanding. However, Gina isn’t bad even though our family backgrounds are different. If you’re not sincere towards Gina, don’t be together with her.”

Gabriel was stunned. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He even felt like he was meeting his girlfriend’s parents. However, Gina had yet to agree to be his girlfriend.

Gabriel’s eyes were sincere. He said, “Ruby, I’m sincere to Gina.”

“Will you marry her? Will your family agree to it?” Ruby asked seriously.

At first, Ruby thought that Gabriel was just a small boss of a small company. That was fine. She felt that the gap was not that big. She did not expect that Gabriel was the president of Jackson Group. In terms of family conditions, the gap was huge.

Ruby was afraid that Gabriel was not sincere to Gina. It was just that Gina was good-looking and outstanding, so Gabriel wanted to be together with Gina. In the future, he would still marry a girl of equal status, which was a business marriage.

Although Gina could not be very ignorant, she had never been in a relationship before. Ruby was worried that Gabriel would be a s**g who abandoned Gina after having an affair.

Gabriel could also guess what her concerns were. He said, “My father likes Gina very much and hopes that she can become my wife.”

Ruby was stunned. “Really?”

“It’s absolutely true. Gina is so outstanding. It’s hard not to like her,” Gabriel said seriously.
