When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 141
“That girl once saved Neil’s life, and he likes her, but I don’t think it’s a good idea, especially after she caused a scene at your engagement party. Has she considered you to be a member of the Jackson family? Neil has already repaid her, yet she still brought disgrace to the family! Neil is grateful for saving his life and hasn’t held it against her, but she only saved him, not the entire Jackson family. I won’t be as lenient as he is.” Harry said coldly, his face stem.
Ethan didn’t expect Harry to be so understanding. He was almost moved to tears, feeling that someone finally understood his troubles. Ethan gritted his teeth. “You’re right. But Uncle Gabriel and Grandpa are both enchanted by Gina. One day, she might even become my uncle’s wife.”
“if Gina were just a rural woman, there would be immense opposition from within the Jackson family to her joining us. But she has so many hidden identities.” In this way, Gina could be considered a match for the Jackson family.
Harry scoffed, “A match for the Jackson family? At such a young age, she is achieving such success, isn’t it suspicious? Who knows what means she used to reach her current position?”
Upon hearing Harry’s words, Ethan suddenly felt like an enlightenment had struck him. ‘That’s right, why didn’t I doubt how Gina attained such a high financial status? Maybe she slept her way to the top!” Ethan thought viciously, nodding in agreement. “You’re right. We must thoroughly investigate Gina’s background. We can’t allow such questionable individuals to enter the Jackson family. As a member of the Jackson family, I also bear responsibility for this.”
Harry looked relieved and patted Ethan on the shoulder. “Your awareness is truly a blessing for the Jackson family.”
Suddenly changing his tone, Harry said, “Ethan, among the grandchildren of the Jackson Family, I have high hopes for you. It is just that you lack a shining opportunity.”
Ethan felt recognized like never before and was suddenly filled with joy. “You’re too kind; you flatter me.” Then, with a hint of jealousy, Ethan added, “With someone as outstanding as Uncle Gabriel around, there’s hardly any chance for me to shine.”
At seventeen, Gabriel started the Jackson Group with Neil’s savings. Initially, no one had much faith in Gabriel at such a young age. They thought Neil was dabbling in some small business and his most beloved son would probably squander the money he had saved. But Gabriel exceeded everyone’s expectations, making the Jackson Group a business leader. He led the entire Jackson family to achieve social mobility and immeasurable success, and he was also recognized as a business genius. Although Ethan and Gabriel were of different generations, their ages were relatively close. Ethan had always been compared to Gabriel since he was young as if he were merely a backdrop highlighting Gabriel’s exceptional brilliance.
Harry chuckled meaningfully. “No matter how outstanding one is, if there’s no time or opportunity left, there won’t be a chance to continue shining.”

Ethan didn’t quite understand Harry’s meaning. He wondered, “What does it mean there was no time left? Could he mean that after Gina bewitched Gabriel, he only focused on romance and neglected his career? Oh, it even had a hint of being a weak ruler. But even so, the Jackson Group’s power remained firmly in Gabriel’s hands.
Harry continued to encourage Ethan. “Ethan, don’t be so pessimistic. If you work hard, who knows, maybe you’ll be in control of the Jackson Group.”
Ethan was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Harry to be so supportive, even suggesting something akin to seizing power. He glanced around nervously. afraid that someone might have overheard Harry’s words and that they might reach Gabriel, causing Gabriel to suspect him of harboring rebellious intentions.
“Such words are not to be spoken lightly. Besides, Uncle Gabriel is still young, and the Jackson Group will undoubtedly be passed down to his children. How could it possibly fall to me?”
“Silly child, as long as you dare to think and act, nothing is impossible.” Harry continued to lead him.
Ethan was momentarily stunned; he pondered, ‘What dare to think and act? If I want to get the Jackson Group, the only way is for Gabriel to die! Oh, wait, If Gabriel dies? Could his implication be to have me kill Gabriel to take his place? How could I darel Ethan shuddered, feeling a chill down his spine. He couldn’t quite decipher the intentions behind his words. Was he overthinking it? Perhaps Harry meant for him to work hard and earn Gabriel’s approval.

In any case, Ethan might dare to kill Gina, but he wouldn’t dare to harm Gabriel Ethan cleared his throat nervously, “Please don’t tease me like this.”
Harry chuckled dismissively and didn’t say anything further.
Gina returned home and received information from Michael. “Gina, the diamond mine auction you mentioned earlier is scheduled for two days from now, I’ve arranged your flights and accommodations,” he said.
Michael was always meticulous, and Gina trusted him completely, “Okay,” she replied.
“Gina, regarding the incident where Lucas Harris, also known as Cole Yale, framed you, I have already uncovered the truth. However, when I went to submit the evidence, the police asked me why I was resubmitting evidence that had already been submitted. That’s when I found out that Gabriel had already submitted the evidence to the police before me.”
While in the detention center, Gina wasn’t worried about being falsely accused successfully. She knew Michael would help her get out of trouble.
“Yeah, I know you are not idling around,” Gina said. “Thank you for your hard work
Michael chuckled, realizing that he did want Gina to know that he hadn’t been idle and that his efforts had been in vain. However, he also felt that Gina
seemed to have found another source of support. He sighed softly. “Gina, can ask you one more question? What is your current relationship with
Gabriel?”
“Friends,” Gina replied.
