When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 251 Gabriel found Ashley's behavior somewhat perplexing.

Nevertheless, he still served her sfood.

Ashley, seeking conversation, remarked. “Miss Miller, I've heard you have a strained relationship with your family?" Setting down her fork, Gina responded calmly. "Miss Jackson, are you referring to the Miller family? They've disowned me. so I no longer consider them family.” Ashley pondered for a moment. "I'm not particularly keen on pring into your family affairs, but how can you simply cut ties with your blood relatives?" Gma didn't want to hear about the Miller family from anyone's lips but remained composed. "Miss Jackson, you mentioned not being interested in why I severed ties with the Miller family. That's because you don't understand. It's okay. Sometimes, I feel that blood relations aren't as crucial as they're made out to be. If my supposed family doesn't loveor even hurts me. I can choose to distance myself" "That's absund Ashley's sudden anger blazed as she declared. "Family ties are as unyielding as bone and sinew. Do you think they can bet severed at willl. I think you're just cold-blooded" Seeing that Ashley's beliefs were utterly opposite to hers, Gina didn't bother explaining further. She realized that it would be futile.

But Ashley persisted. "Did I hit the nail on the head? The moment you walked in with that haughty demeanor, it madeuncomfortable. Gabriel, have you truly set your sights on her to be my future sister-in-law? A woman who can abandon her. family without a second thought-do you honestly believe she could love you sincerely?" Gabriel's expression darkened. "Enough, Ashley. If you're deliberately picking a fight with Gina today, please leave. Don't disrupt us Ashley flared up, setting down her fork. Tm your sister! Could I possibly harm you? Is she off-limits to criticism? She's not even your girlfriend yet, is she? And yet you're siding with her?" "Don't blme for speaking plainly, but with her lack of refinement, it's hard to picture her fitting into high society! Since she walked in, has she done anything besides saying hello? Shown any bit of concern for me?" "No matter how I phrase it. I'm technically her elder, right? Even if she's pretending, couldn't she fake a bit of warmth for me? My 4 million dollars brooch, even if tossed into the water, wouldn't it at least make a splash in response?" Gina calmly returned the brooch to Ashley. "Miss Jackson, here's your brooch. You can gift it to whomever else you please." "Furthermore, you're Gabriel's sister, not mine. I don't regard you as my elder. I believe there's nothing impolite in my behavior. If you findlacking warmth, that's your issue, not mane. Today marks our first encounter, and you're simply a stranger to me. I can't engage in friendly conversation with you Ashley grew more angry as she listened. Impressive. You've truly outdone yourself with your twisted arguments. Who can outwit you? You haven't even stepped foot into the Jackson family, yet you're already putting on airs. If you wish to be accepted into the Jackson family, disrespectingwon't cut it! Do you comprehend the concept of hierarchy?" Gina couldn't help but chuckle. In this modem age, everyone stands equal. You're not superior, and I don't need to be inferior "You you" Ashley was seething with anger.

ITI 10:58 Tue, May 28 M Chapter 251- "And one more thing." Gina added, "I've never implied that I'm eager to becthe daughter-in-law of the Jackson family Ashley widened her eyes, pointing accusingly at Gina. "Gabriel, did you hear that? What does she mean? She doesn't care about being part of the Jackson family or marrying you. Harry was right; she's just leading you on. Aren't you going to wake up and stop letting her toy with you?" "Gina's words are wonderful, Gabriel retorted without hesitation, countering Ashley's accusation.

"From the beginning to the end, I'm pursuing her, hoping she becomes a part of the Jackson family and my wife. It's my decision alone, Ashley. Stop meddling" Tm meddling?" Ashley exclaimed, pointing at herself in disbelie "Ridiculous! I bought a gift for our meeting and willingly asked to meet my future sister-in-law. I've already humbled myself enough!" kindness was Angrily, she retrieved the brooch and placed it back in the shopping bag. "Fine, have it your way! Let's say my taken for granted! I'll find someone worthy to give this gift to. Speople lack artistic sensibility and fail to appreciate its beauty. Wearing such jewelry would be a waste!" Gina interjected, "Miss Jackson, if you wish to return the item, I can assist you in explaining the situation to the Quaria store. Once they understand, they'll likely accept the return." Ashley smirked sarcastically. "Are you out of your mind? Couldn't you have considered the facts before speaking? If there's nothing wrong with the jewelry itself, why would they entertain return?" "Because I'm an exclusive designer for Quaria and acquainted with the CEO." Gina revealed only this much about her status.

That sufficed.

Ashley couldn't believe it. "Are you saying you're an exclusive designer for Quaria?" She couldn't stomach the reality. She liked the Quaria Jewelry, but the thought of someone she despised working there was disgraceful. It stained Quaria! In that instant. Ashley made a spontaneous decision. She vowed to figure out a way to get Gina out of Quaria! Gina nodded. "Alright, so do you need to return the item?" Ashley didn't want Gina's assistance. She coldly snorted, "No need. I can afford this 4 million dollars." With that, she grabbed her bag and stormed out. At the door, Ashley couldn't resist turning back to Gabriel. “I will never agree to you being with her!" Gabriel couldn't suppress a chuckle. Your disagreement won't change anything." Ashley was on the verge of exploding. She hadn't anticipated Gabriel showing her no respect in front of an outsider. Unbelievable! Alright, did he think her disagreement was just empty words? She would find a way to make it happen! With that, Ashley stormed out of the room.

Now, only the two of them remained. Gabriel, feeling a tad uneasy, asked, "Are you angry, Gina?" "Sorry, I didn't expect Ashley to treat you like that." Gabriel felt a pang of remorse.

2/3 10:58 Tue, May 28 M Chapter 251 Gina shook her head calmly."Tm not angry. But I'd rather steer clear of unnecessary interactions with your other kin from now on."
