When She Stops Playing Nice (Hale Saxon)

CHAPTER 69

Chapter 69 Ethan became more and more worked up as he spoke. He told Neil everything that Olivia had told him about the ugly things that Gina had done. When he saw Gina at Neil’s birthday party, he wanted to say it. But he had promised Olivia that these were all the Miller family’s skeleton in the closet and should not be aired publicly, so he did not tell his grandfather. He thought, ‘At that time, I thought even if this country bumpkin was scheming, she wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble. Who would have thought that Gina would be so c u n n i n g, managing to win over my family members one after another.” Ethan listed Gina’s wrongdoing in detail. His mouth was dry from talking. He took a sip of water. Then, he continued, “Grandpa, she must have approached you because of the engagement. She’s seducing Uncle Gabriel now because she thinks that there’s no chance of seducing me. There’s no way I’d marry her.” Before Ethan finished talking, Neil picked up the walking stick beside the bed and hit Ethan, saying, “You b a t a r d. What nonsense are you talking about?” Ethan was dumbfounded. He said, “Grandpa. Grandpa, what are you doing?” He kept dodging. Neil got off the bed and chased after Ethan to hit him. “There’s no need to explain,” Neil said. “I can tell how disrespectful you are to Gina. You are slandering her with baseless accusations? You deserve to be beaten up. Gabriel did a good job!” Neil panted as he chased after him. He stopped, his chest heaving intensely. “Grandpa, these are not baseless accusations,” Ethan said, looking aggrieved. “They are all true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Olivia and members of the Miller family.” “Why the f**k should I ask?” Neil said. “If Gina is as despicable as you claim, committing so many wrongdoings, why didn’t the Miller family report her to the police?” He countered with a question. Ethan was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he said, “Because Gina is too c u nn in g, whic h leads to insufficient evidence. So they can’t do anything to her. Grandpa, she’s a scheming

woman. By the way, her current target may be the Jackson family’s assets. Grandpa, you mustn’t let Uncle Gabriel get together with her!” Neil was thoroughly angry. He threw his walking stick at Ethan and said, “Say another word, and I’ll call Gabriel back now to beat you up! Ethan was scared. “Grandpa, please don’t do that,” he said. “Is it insufficient evidence or is someone deliberately trying to slander Gina?” Neil said. “With your dumbness, I don’t think you can understand!” Neil had lived for so long and had always been good at judging people. He believed that Gina was definitely not the heinous child they said she was. On the contrary, he could tell that Olivia was very scheming. However, the engagement between Ethan and a member of the Miller family had been agreed upon long ago. If the engagement was broken off, it would affect Olivia’s reputation. Moreover, Ethan was very fond of Olivia, Neil was old, and Gabriel alone brought him much worry.. He no longer had the energy to deal with the affairs of the younger generation anymore. VE Chapter 69 Hence, Neil had no intention of breaking off the engagement. Fortunately, Ethan’s marriage partner isn’t switched to Gina, Neil thought. ‘Ethan is not worthy of Gina at allr Crazy,’ Ethan thought. My grandpa and uncle must have gone crazy!” Ethan was about to break down. He had nowhere to turn for help and ended up getting another beating. Neil was so angry that he clutched his chest and frowned. Ethan became nervous. ‘Grandpa, are you alright?” he asked. “Get out!” Neil said, feeling annoyed now at the sight of Ethan. Ethan had long wanted to run off. “Grandpa, rest well,” he said. “Don’t be angry. Take care of yourself.” With that said, Ethan quickly ran off Neil returned to the edge of his bed and sat there. After relating for a while, he summoned IsaacC0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

and had Issac pour him a glass of the medicine Gina had made for him. After drinking it, he felt much better. Ethan retu rned home with a swollen face. When A b b i e saw him, she widened her eyes and asked, “What happened to you?” “Uncle Gabriel hit me,” Ethan said grumpily. A b b i e was initially angry, but upon hearing that Gabriel was the one who hit him, she calmed down considerably. She listened as Ethan recounted the details of what had happened. “You went to buy Olivia a Hosxen handbag?” A b b ie said, her expression changing. “Why? Are we suddenly flush with cash?” Ethan’s heart s k i p p d a beat, thinking, ‘Oh no. Why is Mom’s focus on this?” “No, Mom,” he said. “The point is that Uncle Gabriel hit me.” A b i e scolded Ethan, saying, “Let’s not talk about this first. Why did you spend so much money on Olivia? She hasn’t even married into the family, yet you are already so willing to spend money on her. Once she marries into the family, won’t you then wish you could give her the family assets?” She thought, “This little vixen is too much. As for the reason she avoided addressing the incident of Gabriel beating her son, it was because she had no choice. Their family relied on Gabriel’s care to live the way they did today. your fiancée?” A b b ie’s eyes darted around, and she said, “Why don’t you change your Ethan widened his eyes, seriously suspecting that his mother had gone mad as she actually spouted such nonsense. “Mom, the engagement party is the day after tomorrow,” he said. “What are you talking about?” I’ve found you a more suitable partner, A b b ie said. Ethan was left speechless. “She’s your grandfather’s savior,” A i e said. “She’s also very beautiful and graceful. One look and you can tell that she’s a good girl who knows how to manage a household frugally” She also looked very obedient, she thought. “That’s because I saw that girl wearing simple clothes the other day, unlike

He simply felt that her mother was outrageous. bbie was angry. She said, “You b a s a r d. What are you talking about? You like that vixen Olivia that much?” than fell silent. He did not really like her that much. Besides, he also felt that Olivia was not as gentle and pleasant as efore. But changing my fiancée now will just make me a laughingstock, won’t it?’ he thought. dom, stop bothering me,” he said. “Leave me alone!” He retreated into his room. livia returned to the Miller family’s home in tears. loah was at home. When he saw Olivia’s tear-stained face, his heart ached. What’s wrong?” he said. “Were you mistreated?” Jpon hearing Noah’s inquiry, Olivia felt even more aggrieved. she threw herself into Noah’s arms and burst into tears. Noah was a little stunned. He hugged Olivia tightly and comforted her, saying, “It’s okay. If you have any grievances, tell me.” Olivia said. “Noah. I ran into Gina at a Hosxen store…” Noah did not need to hear Olivia continue talking. He already knew what had happened. That bitc h Gina must have bullied my precious sister again! he thought. However, this time, Olivia’s focus was on Ethan, deliberately ignoring Gabriel’s presence. She did not want members of the Miller family to know that Gina had gotten involved with Gabriel, who was the most influential and outstanding man in the Jackson family. Thinking of this, Olivia felt both jealousy and resentment.

Noah was furious. “Ethan just watched you suffer grievance without doing anything?” he said. “What’s his intention?”
