When She Stops Playing Nice (Hale Saxon)

CHAPTER 40

Chapter 40 The fortune-teller’s eyes lit up as he said happily, “Okay” “You two are truly a talented couple, suited for each other, destined for eternal love… The fortune-teller was eager to recite all the blessings he had learned. Gabriel listened with satisfaction, preparing to give more money for the fortune-teller to continue speaking, only to realize he had run out of cash. The fortune-teller immediately gave him his bank account, saying enthusiastically, “Sir, you can send it to my card.” Gabriel transferred 2 thousand dollars to the fortune-teller. The fortune-teller was excited and said, “Sir, you and this beautiful lady will definitely live a life of happiness forever, and you will give birth to many babies.” If it weren’t for Gina pulling Gabriel away, Gabriel might have given him more money. Gina teased Gabriel, ‘Mr. Jackson, seems like you’re generous with your money.” Gabriel smiled, “I like what he said, so I’m happy to give him money. Gina felt her cheeks warm. She changed the subject and said, “That fortune-teller must be thrilled. He met a big benefactor today.” “A big benefactor? I feel that what he said will come true. Gabriel’s tone contained a faint smile. “Would you like to carn money from me, Gina?” But then he added, “No, you don’t have to earn it. If it’s something you want, I can give it to you.” Gabriel’s eyes showed a hint of indulgence. Gina was taken aback and said somewhat stiffly, “Your money is yours. You can give it to me or take it back, right?” So, it was better to have her own money. “I can write a gift contract or a transfer agreement, whatever you want, Gabriel said with sincerity. C i n a awkwardly avoided his gaze, “I’m not familiar with you, why would I want your money?” “So would you be willing to get close to me? For example, be my fiancée? That would at least give me a title,”

Gabriel added. Gina hadn’t expected Gabriel to say so, leaving her unsure how to respond. Was he being too hasty? Gabriel worried that his eagerness would scare Gina away, so he said, “You can take your time to consider this. I’ll wait for your answer. C i a lowered her eyelids and said nothing. As they walked by, two passersby were muttering complaints. hapter 40 May That Peter is just a scammer. Thankfully, I didn’t waste money on him for a fortune-telling session. What bad luck,” a asserby said. 86% Yeah, the lady who tried to cut in line earlier saved us. Otherwise, I would’ve wasted money on Peter, another one added. We should thank her. I almost joined others in cursing her earlier. She’s really kind-hearted,” said a man. When we left just now, it looked like Peter was being beaten up, right?” Serves him right.” Gina listened indifferently to their conversation, thinking that Peter should have finished dealing with his mess by now. She needed to take Peter to handle some official business. She turned back towards Blessing Tower, with Gabriel following. At the base of Blessing Tower, the long queue from over an hour ago had disappeared.. Peter, disheveled and bruised, sat on the ground. His white robe was covered in shoe prints. The evidence he had embezzled from the church renovation fund, along with photos of his extravagant spending at bars, lay on the ground. Peter’s eyes were vacant, as if he had lost his soul. Gina thought to herself, ‘One reaps what he sows.

Peter had pinned the label of disaster onto her, making her bear so much blame and endure so much humiliation. If someone didn’t harm Gina, she wouldn’t take action. But if someone did, she would repay them a hundredfold. This was Gina’s principle. “Get up, Gina said, looking down at Peter. Peter shrank back when he saw Gina. He regretted ever taking Olivia’s money and doing things for her. Peter dared not resent Gina. After all, Gina was acquainted with Gabriel, and their relationship seemed intimate. It would be useless to resent Gina. In the end, he was the one at fault. So, all his resentment shifted onto Olivia. Peter wiped his face and stood up. He was getting on in years, and being beaten up by so many people had left him feeling like his bones were about to fall apart. He seemed more anxious than Gina and said, “Miss Miller, you said you wanted me to expose Olivia’s bribery, right? Let’s go. I’m ready” Since he was not feeling good, he wouldn’t let go of Olivia. Gina could tell that Peter was so excited because he wanted to get back at Olivia. It was quite entertaining. C i a chuckled inwardly and said, “No rush, I’ll give you some time to change your cloth e s. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Chapter 40 An hour later, they arrived at Vegate Central Hospital. Gina got out of Gabriel’s Rolls Royce, while Peter, dressed in casual clothes, got out of a taxi. “See you next time. Gabriel bid farewell to Gina reluctantly. “Goodbye.” Gina was not so indifferent as before. Gabriel noticed this detail and felt very pleased. David watched Gina walk away and asked curiously. “Mr. Jackson, aren’t you going to help Miss Miller?”

If Gabriel intervened, the Miller family wouldn’t dare to bully Gina, and she could vent her frustrations freely. 菜:85%會 David had seen the disgusting behavior of the Miller family, James, as the eldest, even tried to run over Gina with a car. If it weren’t for Gabriel’s timely intervention, Gina would be in hospital now. However, James had received his due punishment. Following Gabriel’s instructions, David ensured that James’s brakes were tampered with while his car was being repaired after he sent it to the shop due to a punctured tire from a nail. James had predictably gotten into an accident. But he deserved it. “No, Gina doesn’t like me interfering without her consent. I don’t want to upset her, Gabriel replied. Besides, Gabriel knew Gina could handle things herself. If the Miller family dared to harm Gina again, he wouldn’t let them off lightly, Gabriel’s eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. He knew the Miller family treated Gina poorly, but he hadn’t acted before because Gina hadn’t completely cut ties with them yet. They were still her ‘family” nominally. Gabriel turned to David and asked, “How did the investigation go?” David was speechless. Gabriel said he wouldn’t intervene in Gina’s affairs but still offered silent support. “Mr. Jackson, the surveillance footage of Olivia’s car accident has been tampered with and is being repaired. However, I found out that someone beat us to it and extracted the damaged surveillance footage.”
