When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 144

James’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected that Gina would relent to his persistent postering. Though it was a shameless tactic, it proved effective. James knew he couldn’t negotiate with Gina, so he quickly responded, “Please, tell me what you need!”

“First, during the two days I was falsely accused and held in detention, Jason posted two provocative tweets that had a severely negative impact on Prover Hospital, causing losses of at least 20 million dollars. Moreover, not long ago, a woman showed up at my doorstep and threw paint at me, leaving a death curse. While she insisted to the police that she did it because she didn’t like me, my investigation revealed that this woman was a crazed fan of Jason, who he incited to carry out the act. It has upset me,” Gina said.

Upon hearing these words, the three of them tensed up involuntarily.

“So, you want me, as the older brother, to teach Jason a lesson?” James asked.

“Teach him a lesson? He did something wrong: doesn’t he need to face the consequences?” Gina retorted coldly.

“Of course, he needs to.” James quickly responded, inwardly breaking into a cold sweat. He couldn’t help but marvel at how the tables had turned; he never imagined seeing the day when he had to be so humble before Gina

“I want Jason to compensate Prover Hospital for its losses and withdraw from the entertainment industry. You must accomplish both tasks without exception,” Gina stated firmly. Gina had once lent a helping hand to Jason, assisting him in making him famous in the entertainment industry. It could be considered a gift she had given to the Miller family. Now, she was reclaiming it.

James fell silent for a moment.

“If you can’t do it, then don’t bother me. If you insist on loitering at the entrance, I can remove you. Or perhaps you want to end up being fully paralyzed, lying at the hospital entrance,” Gina threatened bluntly.

Jason’s heart skipped a beat as he listened to Gina’s tone, realizing she wasn’t joking. He swallowed hard, acknowledging that he had indeed overstepped earlier. He lowered his head and said, “I will do my best…”

“So, are you leaving now?” Gina’s tone was stern. “I don’t want to see you. If you don’t want me to change my mind, disappear from my sight
