When She Stops Playing Nice (Hale Saxon)

CHAPTER 149

Max looked at Gabriel with a faint smile, analyzing the situation, “Looks like you aren’t just an acquaintance of Miss Miller, but you have a close relation

Gabriel frowned deeply. Max had pointed out his true intention, spoiling his surprise for Gina. However, since he had come all the way here and met with

Max. continued. “But I don’t want to give you this opportunity. I want to talk to Miss Miller alone.”

There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind Max’s words.

Gabriel’s face darkened.

The smile on Max’s face became more obvious. He smiled and spoke to Gina directly, “Miss Miller, let’s go. I don’t know if this is your first time here, but I must take you to try the delicacies. Or you can tell me what you like to eat, and I’ll take you there.

Gina did not think much about such details and answered, “Let’s go.”

Max laughed and said, “Miss Miller, you’re more anxious than I thought, aren’t you? Can I take it that you’re looking forward to having dinner with me too? I’m honored.”

Max raised his eyebrows as he finished speaking.

“Let’s go.” Max glanced at Gabriel and swaggered past him, motioning for Gina to catch up.

Gabriel grabbed Gina’s arm and said, “Gina, I’m not trying to restrict your freedom, but… Maxis a dangerous person…”

The Atkinson family wasn’t easy to deal with, and Gabriel was sure Max was no different.

Gina said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. I won’t put myself in danger. Even if I am in danger, I will have a way to get myself out of the situation.”

Michael looked at Gabriel, who was still holding Gina’s arm and felt a rise of annoyance. He said sarcastically, “Mr. Jackson, you’re overthinking. Gina is

Gina wasn’t someone overly delicate.

Even though Gabriel knew Gina was capable of protecting herself, He couldn’t help but worry. At the same time, he was also jealous that Gina had readily agreed to Max’s invitation.

However, Gabriel reminded himself that her foremost intention was to purchase the diamond mine.

Max, who was walking in front, turned around and said, “Miss Miller, what’s wrong? Have you changed your mind?”

Gina gently removed Gabriel’s hand and turned to follow Max. “No.”

Gabriel watched Gina leave and sighed.

Michael passed by Gabriel and intentionally sneered before quickly leaving.

Fuck, Mr. Jackson, why do I feel like they’re targeting you? How did we offend them?” David complained.

Gabriel looked at David speechlessly. He wanted to say something but hesitated. “Forget it, you won’t understand.”

David was so stunned, he couldn’t answer.

“What don’t understand? No wait, what am I supposed to understand?‘ David thought.

“Dig into Max.” Gabriel’s instructions pulled David’s thoughts back.

While on the way back to the hotel, David had already looked into Max’s background, so he could fill Gabriel in once they returned.

“Mr. Jackson, Max is the youngest son of the head of the Atkinson family. He grew up in Mosnioca. Although he seems to be a little wild, he’s very capab

“What else is there?” Gabriel asked.

“He’s a playboy and toys w

with women.”

The veins on Gabriel’s forehead bulged. “Find out where he took Gina,”

“Okay”

“You can’t hold your liquor well? Or are you afraid that I’ll drug you?” Max smiled innocently as he clinked his glass against Gina’s.

Gina still did not drink. “The wine here is not to my liking.”

“Alright.” Max shrugged. “I won’t force you. Don’t worry.”

“You said you took your mother’s surname and she’s a local here. Do you come back often?” Gina looked straight into Max’s eyes.

“Of course. I accompany my mother to visit her family a few times, but I don’t stay long

“Does that include friends?” Gina asked.

Max paused for a second, then smiled and said, “Miss Miller, you surprise me.”

“What do you mean?” Gina asked.

“I thought you were a girl with a cold personality, and you wouldn’t bother much about other people’s matters. Or is this just interest in me?” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re being narcissistic,” Gina responded.

Gina wanted to confirm if Max was the missing child of that couple. His eyes looked too much like theirs.

However, Gina knew she couldn’t find out his identity this way.

Instead of getting angry, Max smiled and said, “Fine.”

Gina saw that he did not take off his gloves and asked, “You can’t take off your gloves?”

Max said helplessly, “I’m a little obsessed with cleanliness, so I’m used to wearing it. I never take it off except when I’m sleeping.”

Back then, Gina had found a piece of the boy’s/right pinky finger.

This was the first time that Gina had felt such a strong desire to confirm someone’s identity.

“If he really is that boy, what has he gone through all these years? Why did he suddenly become a member of the Atkinson family? Does he want to find

Max was smiling cheekily, but Gina felt that his smile never reached his eyes.

Max put some food into Gina’s bowl and said, “Miss Miller, if you want to buy the diamond mine, I can resell it to you, but I’ll have to charge you more”

Gina raised her hand and grabbed his right hand. The moment she touched it, Gina confinned that there was something solid where his pinky finger

should be.

However, Gina could not tell if it was a prosthetic finger or not. She would need him to take off his gloves to confirm it.

Max was a little surprised. “Miss Miller, if you want to hold my hand, all you need to do is ask. I’m still getting some food for

ryou.”

Gina calmly let go of his hand and pushed it away. “I don’t need you to help me. You said you need to charge more. How much are we talking about?”

*500 million dollars.”

Gina frowned. “That’s too expensive.”

It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, but she felt that Max was being unreasonable by wanting to earn 100 million dollars from this resale.

“No bargaining.” Max said.

Few people dared to bargain with the Atkinson family.

“I’m not buying it, then,” Gina was not good at bargaining either.

Max raised his eyebrows and said, “Well, that’s a shame.”

“I’ll be going now,” Gina said as she stood to leave.

“Miss Miller.”

Max stopped her and said, “Although our deal didn’t go through, we can still be friends, right? Don’t delete my number immediately, alright?”

“I won’t” Gina wouldn’t stop interacting with Max until she found out whether he was that missing boy.

“Don’t lie to me,” Max emphasized, as if he was worried.
