Cathy remained silent for a moment. Gina grew a bit displeased. Are you still trying to protect your
boyfriend regarding matters of life and death?”
Cathy was taken aback when Gina hit the nail on the head. Initially, she found the contract
unreasonable but couldn’t resist Andy’s persuasion.
Signing that contract felt like signing away her autonomy, akin to indentured servitude. And it wasn’t
just her; she suspected. other girls who experienced shock from blood donation might be in the
same predicament. Unlike her, those unable to pay the breach fee weren’t as fortunate to encounter
Gina. If she withheld information from Gina, it would be indirectly causing harm, even leading to
fatalities.
“Indeed, he’s constantly recruiting people to be mobile blood banks,” Cathy admitted truthfully.
Try to stop him as much as possible, Gina paused. “Consider it as repaying me.”
“Alright, I’ll do my best.” Cathy replied, meeting Gina’s gaze.
Finally, Gina added. “Be careful, don’t let Andy find out, and don’t get yourself hurt.” Andy wasn’t a
good person, let alone a suitable match. Gina saw through him better than Cathy did.
Cathy nodded silently.
“Go back and rest well, Gina said.
After Cathy left. Gina walked far away and found a quiet spot before calling Michael. “Investigate
Blue Vale Hospital. They attract arge number of people to donate blood with high sries. Find
out where the blood they collect ends up.”
“Got it,” Michael replied solemnly. He continued, “By the way, Gina, Colin Barnes is looking for two
other collectors with the 79 Lafite. It seems like he loves that wine. Without one bottle in his
collection, he’s keen on acquiring the only two remaining exquisite bottles worldwide.”
Gina instructed Michael to closely monitor Colin and see what other tricks he might have. She found
the discovery quite intriguing. With a faint smile, Gina added, “Stay ahead of him. Find those two
collectors first and purchase the wine.”
“Understood,” Michael said.
Gina hung up the phone and realized she was being followed. Without alerting the follower, she
continued, taking a less crowded route once she reached her apartmentplex.
Ivan felt increasingly uneasy but couldn’t quite understand what was wrong. He continued to follow,
intending to turn the corner, when suddenly he was kicked hard. The blownded in his lower
abdomen, narrowly missing a more sensitive area. Ivan looked at Gina in anger.
Gina recognized Ivan. “Are you Millers never going to leave me alone? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t
bother me again?”
Ivan’s expression turned cold. “Mom did say that, but the condition was for you to help Miller Jewels
through the tough times, not snatch it away”
“Snatch it away?” Gina found it somewhat amusing. “Without me Miller Jewels would have turned
into a mess.
In fact, without Gina’s investment arrangements and the personally designed Wish collection, Miller
Jewels would have been nothing but a sinking ship.
“I advise you, Gina Miller, to return Miller Jewels to us before I lose my patience and stop being
civil,” Ivan said menacingly.
Gina responded calmly, “That’s not going to happen.”

“You won’t cry until you see the consequences, wit
you?” Ivan gritted his teeth. “Gina Miller, even if you die, your blood ties to the Miller family can’t be
severed. All your assets will still end up with us.”
Gina chuckled. “If you want my inheritance, you might have no chance to take it.”
now.”
“Is that so?” Ivan sneered, “Don’t underestimate me. I could take your life right
Ivan pulled out a handgun and aimed it at Gina. “This gun is equipped with a silencer. I can make
sure you die quietly in this alley
Gina remained unfazed, her expression still calm andposed. “Is that so? Then go ahead and
shoot.”
Ivan was taken aback. He couldn’t detect a hint of fear on Gina’s face. Why wasn’t she scared?
Instead, her unnerving calmness was almost terrifying. How could anyone not be afraid when faced
with a gun, especially when it was pointed at their head? And Gina was a woman. ‘Da*n it, she must
be some freak! he thought.
Ivan thought that Gina still didn’t grasp the seriousness of the situation. “Do you think I’m bluffing?
Or do you believe this gun isn’t real and can’t kill you? Don’t assume that just because you have
status, influence, and Gabriel’s protection, I won’t dare to kill you. Killing you means I get all your
assets and can still walk away unscathed. Do you think I’m joking with you?”
However, he’d need to share some benefits with the mercenary group to get away cleanly. Killing
someone and covering it up wasn’t easy, but offering rewards was no big deal. After all, Gipa was
wealthy. Once he got his hands on her assets. affording those rewards wouldn’t be a problem.
“I doubt it. I’m not particrly eager to listen to nonsense. If you think you can shoot, go ahead and
shoot.” Gina said calmly.
Ivan was puzzled, not entirely understanding Gina’s words. What did she mean by “if you think you
can shoot, then go ahead and shoot”? Ivan felt underestimated by Gina. He believed she was
mocking him, implying that he wouldn’t shoot.
“Alright. Gina Miller. Ivan gritted his teeth. “You said it yourself. When my bullet hits you, there’ll be
no turning back. Prepare to die. He was determined to execute Gina on his return.
Just as Ivan was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly felt a slight prick on his neck, as if an insect
had bitten him. Instinctively, he touched his neck to see what had happened. But to his horror, he
found himself unable to move. It was as if his entire body had lost sensation and control, except for
his consciousness. He felt paralyzed, unable tomand his actions. Ivan’s eyes widened in terror
as he stood helplessly frozen in ce.
As Gina calmly approached him, Ivan watched in astonishment. During their conversation just now,
Gina had subtly captured his attention and then swiftly shot a threadlike de hidden in her
fingertips, striking a crucial point on Ivan’s neck. Ivan found himselfpletely immobilized. The
threadlike de was thin and long, almost invisible even to someone with excellent eyesight. IvanN?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
had no idea it could also be used as a hidden weapon.
Gina walked up to Ivan and took the gun from his hand, pressing it against his forehead.
