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.

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.

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.
