When She Stops Playing Nice by Hale Saxon

Chapter 56

asmine was a little nervous. Without thinking, she ran forward, nearly getting hit by the car.

she was shocked. She quickly took a few steps back. Then, Gabriel got out of the car with a displeased expression.

The instant the car door closed, Jasmine seemed to see a woman in the car.

She thought. Who is she?

asmine didn’t have time to dwell on this matter. She looked up at the gloomy Gabriel and said, “Gabriel, I’m fine. Don’t vorry about me”

Gabriel asked in return with a cold expression, “Eyes not on the road, huh?”

asmine felt awkward. I’m sorry, Gabriel, she said.

By the way, is Neil alright?” she continued. “I really didn’t mean it. I didn’t expect that the nourishing tonic would cause problems. I just wanted Neil to recover as soon as possible.”

“He’s out of danger, Gabriel said indifferently.

“Also, don’t address me so affectionately,” Gabriel added.

Jasmine was left speechless. She felt like her heart was about to be broken by Gabriel’s coldness. She thought, Gabriel isn’t much older than me. Plus, he’s young and handsome, so it’s only natural that I address him affectionately.

Jasmine said aggrievedly. “But I’ve already gotten used to that. Gabriel, can you take me to the hospital to visit Neil someday? My family and I are very worried about Neil. Prover Hospital has an unreasonable rule that outsiders can’t just enter, which is why I haven’t gone to visit Neil

She cursed inwardly, ‘I don’t know what kind of rubbish rule this lousy hospital has set. It’s just a hospital, so why do they act all high and mighty?”

Gina sat in the car, playing the role of a bystander.

Hearing Jasmine complaining about Prover Hospital, she-smiled indifferently. The reason Prover Hospital had such a rule was that people who were admitted to the hospital for either treatment or hospitalization were all important figures, inevitably attracting people who wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with them.

Hospitals were meant for treatment and recuperation. The coming and going of too many people who were not directly associated with the hospital’s activities or patients would disrupt the hospital’s order. This was why the rule was set at the beginning of the hospital’s construction.

“I don’t have time, Gabriel said coldly, rejecting without hesitation.

Jasmine felt a little awkward. “Then I’ll wait until Neil is discharged from the hospital before visiting,” she said.

Gabriel did not reply. His lack of response conveyed an obvious message. That message was Jasmine should leave now. Jasmine was unwilling to leave just like that. She thought, ‘I still don’t know who the woman in the car is

She bit the bullet and asked, “Gabriel, who’s the person sitting in your car? You’ve mentioned before that you don’t like having outsiders in your car, so is she à relative?”

Previously, she visited the Jackson family’s home and wanted Gabriel to send her home, but Gabriel refused, saying that he did not like having outsiders in his car.

The Rolls Royce’s car door opened, and Jasmine’s attention immediately shifted to the door, staring at it without blinking. When she saw Gina, she clenched her fists hard.

She thought. Why? It’s this b i t c h again!”

“She’s not an outsider. Gabriel said.

His voice snapped Jasmine back to reality. She was stunned, thinking, ‘What did Gabriel mean?”

She seemed to be consoling herself as she said, “I know her. That’s Miss Miller. She’s Gina, the sister of Ethan’s fiancée. Indeed, she is not considered an outsider.”

“She is not considered an outsider practically came out of Jasmine’s mouth through gritted teeth.

She thought, ‘If it weren’t for Gabriel here, there’s no way I could have addressed this country bumpkin as Miss Miller.

What Gabriel meant was obviously not what Jasmine interpreted. It was just that Gabriel couldn’t be bothered to explain so much to Jasmine, who was the real outsider.

“I heard that Ethan’s fiancee was supposed to be Gina initially, though, Jasmine said. “But Ethan seems only to have eyes for Olivia Miss Miller doesn’t seem to be pleased about this and wants to compete with her sister for Ethan, right?”

Jasmine spoke as if Gina was a homewrecker who wanted to steal her own sister’s man, and she appeared worried that Gabriel would not know about this, so she blurted out all at once.

Another angelic bitc h, Gina thought.

Feeling a little helpless, she said, “I also heard that you dragged Olivia into the ladies’ room and beat her till her right hand fractured”

Jasmine’s face turned pale, not expecting that Gina would bring up this accident in front of Gabriel. She thought, “Bitc h! By stirring up trouble like this, she’ll make Gabriel think I’m a terrible girl!’

“I didn’t,” Jasmine explained anxiously. “I didn’t break her right hand.”

“But I heard Olivia say that with my own ears, Gina insisted.

“She lied!” Jasmine said angrily. “How can you only listen to her side of the story?”

“Oh?” Gina said, elongating the pronunciation of the word meaningfully. Then, she continued, “So, Miss Bush, you also know that a one-sided story can’t be trusted. From whom did you hear that I wanted to s n t Ethan away then? If a claim isn’t backed by evidence, that’s fabricating stories. Miss Bush, why did you fabricate a story about me?”

“I…” Jasmine’s eyes widened. She felt like she couldn’t wrap her head around things just now and was led by Gina into saying things she didn’t intend to say. She was both angry and anxious.

“Apologize to Gina, Gabriel said to Jasmine with a cold expression.

Hearing Gabriel address Gina so intimately, Jasmine felt like the world was coming to an end.

Her eyes were teary as she looked at Gabriel. She tried to use her pitiful appearance to exchange for a trace of pity from

Gabriel.

But all she saw in Gabriel’s icy gaze was aloofness and indifference.

She thought, I’ve long known Gabriel. Why did this bit h Gina come out on top?

Jasmine apologized to Gina unwillingly, saying, “I’m sorry, Miss Miller. Those words are just hearsay. I shouldn’t have said those words to fabricate a story about you. Please forgive me and don’t hold it against me.”

Chapter 56

Gina replied indifferently, “Okay.”

She then glanced at Gabriel and said, “Do you two have anything else to discuss? Shall I excuse myself?”

Without waiting for Jasmine to speak, Gabriel said firmly, “There’s nothing to talk about.”

Then, he said to Jasmine, “You can leave.”

Jasmine thought. ‘Gabriel actually chased me out for this b i c h’s sake!

She was heartbroken and couldn’t say a word. She ran back to the Ferrari in tears.

A short while later, the Ferrari zoomed off.

Gina glanced over and said to Gabriel. “She seems to be crying quite sadly

Gabriel replied. “Huh?”

He did not know why Gina’s focus was on this.

“Do you want to consider comforting Jasmine, Gabriel?” Gina said, making the unusual choice of speaking in a teasing and

affectionate tone.

Gabriel was stunned. “You call me affectionately?” he said.

Gina suddenly realized that calling Gabriel that way seemed too intimate. She cleared her throat, turned away from Gabriel’s intense gaze, and said, “What’s wrong? Can I not call you that way?”

“Not at all,” Gabriel said. “I actually like it. Can you say it a few more times, Gina?”

C i n a suddenly felt that Gabriel was being unexpectedly bold.
