Olivia was frozen in disbelief.
She thought, ‘Could it be true that Gina didn’t want me dead? How could that be?
e not going to die just yet. You still owe me that money, and it’s time to settle the
Then, she heard Gina’s serene voice. “You’re not debt.”
Olivia was shattered, her anger leaving her speechless. “You…
Gina offered Olivia a faint smile.
Her gaze then shifted to Andy. “Cathy, you im she only confided in you about the pumpkin pie
incident. So, who else did. you disclose it to?”
“I swear, I haven’t spoken to anyone else!” Andy asserted earnestly
It wasn’t worth boasting about such a trivial matter!
Gina had been scrutinizing Andy’s every expression and confirmed he was telling the truth.
“You’re free to go now,” Gina said calmly.
Andy and Cathy exchanged bewildered looks.
Cathy, still uncertain, ventured cautiously, “Miss Miller, you’re not holding me ountable, are you?”
“No me toy at your feet. You, too, were manipted by someone with malicious intent.”
Andy and Cathy breathed a collective sigh of relief. Andy followed up on Gina’s statement with a
question, “Miss Miller, does this mean Mr. Jackson misunderstood us?”
“Gabriel didn’t have the full picture. In his haste, he jumped to conclusions.”
Gina rified.
Defiantly, Andy spoke up, “Miss Miller, given the circumstances, this isn’t something that can be
brushed aside with a simple assurance from you and Mr. Jackson’s misunderstanding. Cathy risked
her life by eating that poisoned pumpkin pie to prove her innocence. I can’t let this slide.”
Gabriel fully trusted Gina’s judgment, believing the couple to be innocent. He was ready to take
responsibility for his
actions.
Getting straight to the point, he asked, “What kind ofpensation are you looking for?”
Andy’s eyes gleamed with interest, and he was about to speak when Cathy suddenly tugged at his
sleeve. Andy nced at Cathy, and she shook her head.
Both Mr. Jackson and Miss Miller held prominent positions, and Cathy worried that Andy’s
audacious demands mightplicate matters that could otherwise be resolved.
Gina took the initiative, “Cathy, Prover Hospital will cover all your future medical expenses, and if
either of you ever falls ill in the future, you’ll receive free treatment at Prover Hospital”
Cathy was astonished The medical expenses at Prover Hospital were already beyond the reach of
ordinary people, and Gina’s offer of unlimited free treatment was exceptionally generous.

Thinking about the generous sry Gina offered for harvesting medicinal herbs, as well as retaining
Cathy’s nursing job at Prover Hospital even though she couldn’t work due to her condition, left her
with no reason to be dissatisfied.
However, Andy interjected from the sidelines, “Free treatment? Medical care at no cost? Miss Miller,
you’re well-versed inpensation, but your offer seems vague. Cathy and I are both healthy and
rarely get sick. Yourpensation seems like a fantasy. Can we get something practical?”
Cathy was shocked by Andy’s audacious remarks.
She red at Andy, her anger palpable. “What did you just say? Im sorry, Miss Miller. Andy’s not in
his right mind…
Gina remainedposed. “And whatpensation are you seeking?”
Andy said firmly. I can’t stand seeing Cathy being mistreated!”
“Mr. Jackson, thepensation I seek is for you to waive the repair costs for your car that we would
have had to cover he asserted.
Cathy couldn’t conceal her astonishment as she nced at Andy
Sensing Cathy’s scrutinizing gaze. Andy coughed lightly and pressed on. “Cathy, you mentioned
you’re ready to stand by me through this, to shoulder the responsibility of fixing the car together. If
Mr. Jackson agrees to waive thepensation, it would ease our burden, wouldn’t it?”
Cathy remained silent.
Even Olivia, observing from the sidelines, could discern Andy’s facade. He was just a scoundrel
looking out for his interests, yet dared to im it was all for Cathy’s sake….
It was ridiculous.
Olivia smirked quietly, keeping her head down.
The one who ate the pie is Cathy, and it’s her right to make demands, not yours,” Gina addressed
Andy,
Andy felt indignant, realizing that everyone present had seen through his intentions. To salvage his
pride, he said. “That’s because I wasn’t present when Cathy ate the poisoned pie. I would have
dly taken her ce if I had been there!”
Then, Andy grabbed Cathy’s hand. “Cathy, you’ve been wronged because of me. I failed to protect
you.”
“Miss Miller, Mr. Jackson, can you finally agree to my request? You were the ones who mentioned
compensation earlier, weren’t you? Are you trying to pin the me on us now? Cathy and I are just
ordinary people. If you want to y dirty we have no choice but to ept it!” Andy’s expression
betrayed a sense of oppression.
“You don’t need to spout all this nonsense to provoke me. You im that if you were present, you’d
willingly take poisoned pie for Cathy. It’s easy to speak fine words, but actions speak louder. How
about you demonstrate it by rest of that pie? Since we’re in a hospital, I’ll promptly arrange for
someone to get your stomach pumped. How do sound?” Cina raised an eyebrow, her tone
challenging.
Andy panicked “Miss Miller, you’re treating lives as if they’re worthless! You know that pie is
poisoned, yet you wan
“No matter how much you cat. I’ll convince Gabriel to waive your car repair expenses and offer you
an additional 200 thousand dors. How does that sound?” Gina asked again.
Andy was tempted but ultimately refused. “No, I won’t risk my life for that 200 thousand dors.
What’s the point of h money if I’m dead? I won’t eat it!”
“Since you value your life so much, spare me the lofty words,” Gina’s voice chilled.

Andy remained silent in opposition, but Cathy suddenly spoke up. “Miss Miller, if I had the right to
make demands, my request would be the same as Andy’s. We hope Mr. Jackson can waive the
repair expenses. Thank you.”
Andy was thrilled, embracing Cathy. “Cathy, I’ve always known you’re the best to me!”
Gina’s expression turned icy as she looked at Gabriel Gabriel, do you agree?”

“Agreed, Gabriel responded casually, Repair costs meant nothing to him, understanding Gina’s
subtle hint that he shouldply.
“Thank you. Cathy sincerely thanked Gina and Gabriel.
Andy couldn’t wait to pull Cathy away, fearing Gabriel might change his mind and demand
compensation again.
Before leaving, Andy turned to Gina and Gabriel, “Miss Miller, Mr. Jackson, I seem to have some
clues about the poisoning
incident.”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
