When She Stops Playing Nice (Hale Saxon)

Ashley vented. "That bitc h just wants an excuse to mess with me!"

"Virus? What virus?" Harry suddenly tensed up.

"I have no idea. Gina Miller came to threaten me that day and then left. Later, I had someone check on Cathy Fowler. She ended up in the ICU. I had someone rough her up, but it wasn't supposed to be that serious, was it?" Ashley explained, feeling puzzled.

"Did Gina Miller do anything to you?" Harry asked again, his unesse growing. "Nothing" Ashley replied.

After confirming once more, Harry's expression turned serious. "Let's go home." "Mr. Jackson, here's your coffee." Ibrahim offered, pouring a cup for Harry. Harry looked at the coffee and clicked his tongue in disapproval. He stated firmly, "Gina Miller must die immediately."

Ibrahim paused for a moment, then slowly sat down. "She is not so easy to deal with," he said.

"I know that!" Harry erupted. "But Gina Miller is digging into how Emily Jackson died! If she finds out, we're all finished, do you understand?" None of his dirty deeds, not one, worried Harry, except this. He couldn't let Gina uncover it. He wasn't afraid of death, but Ashley couldn't be in danger. He feared her getting implicated.

"I think of a way to make Gina Miller disappear without a trace, without raising any suspicions," Ibrahim said solemnly.

"Do you even still need to think about it? Emily Jackson is the perfect example," Harry said bitterly, his frustration evident.

Ibrahim hesitated and said, "But the person who helped us buy the virus before is no longer available."

The person who assisted them before had been silenced. Now, they need a new intermediary. However, this intermediary cannot be just anyone, as the seller won't provide what they need to an ordinary person. After all, this kind of transaction involves their lives.

Harry's gaze landed on Ibrahim, whose expression stiffened. "Mr. Jackson..." Ibrahim's smile was forced. "Are you suggesting that I'm the one to buy the virus?" Buying the virus directly from the Bames family would mean having potential leverage held against him by them. Having such deadly leverage in someone else's hands was uncomfortable.

"Otherwise, what? Anyway, Gina Miller can't stay a day longer. If you're still alive today, you should be thankful for the life-saving favor I've done for you, right?" Harry countered.

Ibrahim took a deep breath. "Mr. Jackson, you're right. Don't worry, and I'll make sure to get the virus. I'll fulfill your wish," he said.

At the KING Bar. "Mr. Barnes, let me toast to you," Colin settled into the booth, basking in the attention of those around him.

"Excuse me." Olivia pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

Colin glanced at Olivia and didn't pay much attention.

"Mr. Barnes, I need to talk to you," Oliver said.

"If you you have something to tell me, does that mean I must be available? Olivia Miller, you've got quite the nerve, right?" Colin said casually Olivia forced a smile, summoning her coulage. She leaned close to Colin and whispered, "Mr. Barnes, I want to buy Ash Chapter 439

Colin initially wanted to push Olivia away, not only because he disliked her getting too close but also because he detested the cheap scent of her perfume. However, when he heard Olivia mention "Ash," his expression changed. He turned to glare at Olivia and thought, 'How did she know about that? She wasn't qualified for it at all!

Colin's face darkened, and he instructed the people around him, "Get out, all of you." The flatterers who were flattering him moments ago were stunned and dispersed.

With a fierce gaze, Colin said, "Follow me." Olivia followed Colin into the private room. She thought she should close the door for privacy, but as she tumed around, Colin unexpectedly slapped her.

The force of the slap made Olivia's nose start bleeding, Instantly frightened, she slipped to her knees. "Mr. Barnes, what's wrong? What did I do?" she asked in fear.

Grasping Olivia's hair firmly, Colin demanded, "Ash. Who told you about Ash? Speak up."

Olivia stammered, "I-I don't know. My boss just commissioned me to buy something from you."

"What is Ash? Tell me," Colin said.

Olivia broke down. "I don't know, I don't know. All I know is a code name."

Colin let go of his grip. "Let your boss come if they want to buy. What business do you have here? Are you qualified?"

Olivia immediately admitted, saying, "I'm not qualified, but Mr. Barnes, I'm just a messenger. My boss sent me, and I couldn't refuse, could I?"

Colin smiled. "Alright, you can go now."

Olivia felt confused. She had come all this way only to be beaten and achieve nothing. Now that Colin had kicked her out, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Nonetheless, getting away from Colin was a relief for her.

Olivia nodded hastily, quickly straightened her hair, and hurriedly opened the door, stumbling out in a fluster Colin sat down in his chair, his phone ringing. He answered, and one of his subordinates spoke up on the other end: "Mr. Bames, there's a new high-value purchase on the anonymous website. The post says they want to buy a virus that can kill without a trace. It seems like they're referring to our Ash. Maybe it's a previous buyer looking to reconnect with us, hinting at it indirectly?"

"is that all you called to tell me?" Colin rolled his eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Barnes, didn't you say that we need to pay close attention to any online information related to Ash?"

Colin was speechless. Later, he said, "Okay, I got it. There's no need to bother with this."

"Alright"

A man with brown hair and sunglasses entered the room, pushing the door open.

"Mr. Barnes," he greeted.

Colin narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"

Ibrahim removed his sunglasses. "I'm the director of Blue Vale Hospital."

"Come in." Colin nodded, gesturing for him to enter Ibrahim walked in, and Colin placed his legs on the table, casually saying, "It looks like you were waiting at the door, Are you letting Olivia Miller in to probe my intentions?"

Ibrahim sat and said, "The Barnes family has extensive business interests, and given the uncertainty regarding this particular business, I thought it best to come and inquire whether it falls under M. Barnes' purview"

"Since it's not my jurisdiction, who else would handle it? My sister?" Colin sneered, clarifying that he wouldn't let Elaine get sucived in the

"Now, tell me, who are you planning to use the Ash for? Since you've come to me, you should understand the rules of doing business with me," Colin said, pouring himself a glass of water.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
