“No,” Gabriel replied without hesitation.
His response made Ethan feel awkward. Ethan smiled coldly and said, “Alright, that’s fine.”
Neil said, “Ethan has his own sessful career. That is something to celebrate!”
Neil nced at Isaac, signaling him to bring a few bottles of good wine.
Isaac quicklyplied. Just as Neil was about to pour himself a small ss for a sip, Gabriel
interrupted and said, “Dad, have you forgotten? Gina instructed you not to drink while you’re
recovering.”
Neil, craving a drink, replied, “Just a small ss would not hurt.”
Gabriel frowned and reminded him, “Dad, just because Gina isn’t here doesn’t mean you can
indulge and ignore her advice.”
Neil, who was eager to have a taste, tried to ignore Gabriel’s words, but Gabriel took out his phone,
ready to call Gina.
“Stop, stop, alright, I won’t drink. You all can have some,” Neil said, feeling a bit wronged. He did not
want to bother Gina over such a minor issue, especially since she was handling important matters
abroad. He did not want Gina, who was far away in another country, to worry about his health.
Displeased by the interaction, Harry found it absurd that Gina could still affect their family dinner
even when she was not present. He thought of her as a persistent nuisance, like a lingering ghost.
He remarked, “It’s just a small drink. Is it really necessary to be so strict? Isn’t that also bad for his
health if it makes my brother unhappy?”
“Between alcohol and a bad mood, Gina knows which one affects health more,” Gabriel retorted
sharply, not showing mer towards Harry.
Harry’s expression darkened, and he felt a surge of anger.
“Alright, alright, let’s not argue over this. I should not be drinking now anyway. I’ll wait until I’m fully
recovered. I shoul listen to Gina. Otherwise, I won’t be able to drink at Gabriel and Gina’s wedding,
which would be a real regret!” Neil said he felt overjoyed at the thought of Gabriel and Gina’s
wedding. As he grew older, he cherished such hopes.
‘A wedding?
‘It’s not certain that woman will even get into the Jackson family, Harry thought to himself.
Not wanting his moment of glory overshadowed, Ethan started discussing his efforts on the project
with Neil, which helped thetter part of the meal pass without further disputes.
However, Gabriel seemed a bit distracted. He was wondering what Gina was doing far away in
Mosnioca.
He hated every second they were apart, finding it excruciatingly difficult.
At Windsor Castle, Lisa reviewed the ledgers Gina had given her “The Atkinson family has a poor
reputation. It would be best if such a malignant family could disappear. However, they are divided
into many branches, and not all of them are evil. Some have made significant contributions to our
nation’s economy.
“If the Atkinson family can reform, that would be ideal,” Lisa stated with a smile. “In the past, we had
no evidence to prove the Atkinsons were involved in shady businesses. But now, with the ledgers
you provided, Miss Miller, things will be much easier. The uing cleanup operation will be
smooth, and the Atkinson family cannot refuse a search with this evidence.”

This matter would immediately boost Princess Lisa’s reputation among the public, giving her a
chance topete with her brother for the throne.
Gina also hoped this matter could be resolved quickly. Every minute of dy might mean another
person being harmed by those dreadful drugs made from ashes or another naive pregnant woman
drinking a concoction supposedly to ensure a male child, only to develop a tumor and have no one
to turn to.
·
She and Princess Lisa had a mutually beneficial rtionship.
“Gina, you are absolutely, absolutely a godsend! You appeared when I was lost and gave me new
hope!” Lisa eximed, hugging Gina excitedly.
Gina, somewhat ufortable with Lisa’s enthusiasm, gently pushed her away.
Lisa apologized and said, “Sorry, I was too happy. Did I offend you? I see you as a good friend.”
“It’s okay,” Gina replied.
Gina paused and added, “Since that is the case, Lisa, let’s resolve this matter now.”
“Are you in a hurry to return to Shyran?” Lisa asked.
“Once the matter is handled and there’s nothing else, I’ll return. I’m not really in a hurry,” Gina said.
“I understand. After all, your loved one is waiting for you,” Lisa said with a smile.
With that, the two set off.
*****
At Chatsworth Manor, Willie was watching a movie,in’the home theater with Faith and Chuck sitting
beside him.
Max sat in the row behind them.
Suddenly, a servant knocked on the door and reported, “Mr. Willie, a Miss Miller is here with a
friend, saying they h something important to discuss.”
Upon hearing the name Miller, Chuck knew what was happening and thought, ‘Gina Miller, that
wretch, is she so eager settle scores?
‘Huh, let’s see if she has the capability to do so.
Chuck turned to Max and asked, “That Miss Miller, she is your friend, isn’t she?”
Chuck had no evidence that Max had helped Gina steal the ledgers. As such, he couldn’t cause
trouble for Max directly. He felt a burning anger. If not for his father’s presence, he would have
wanted to beat Max, this traitor, on the spot.
“Yes,” Max replied.
Chuck sneered. He mainly wanted to hint to his father that Gina was acquainted with Max, implying
that Max was colluding with outsiders to undermine his own brother, which was utterly disgraceful.
-Willie, curious, questioned, “Why didn’t your friende to you directly? Why does she want to
see me?”
“Dad, you’ll understand once you meet her,” Max said.
Willie said nothing more and turned to Faith, saying, “I’lle back to watch the movie with you
later.”
“Alright,” Faith nodded, feeling a bit uneasy but still agreeing.

Willie stood up to leave, with Chuck following closely behind. Max also stood up, preparing to go
along.

Faith pondered, ‘Miss Miller is Max’s friend, so it’s understandable he wants to see her. But why is
Chuck going along?
“Why are you following me? You’re not a child. Do you need to tag along for everything the adults
do?” Willie questioned.
“I don’t want to watch the movie,” Chuck offered a casual excuse
“Alright,” Willie said, not pressing further.
Walking ahead, Chuck red at Max fiercely, mouthing. “I know it was you.”
Max remained unfazed. Indeed, he had informed Gina about Chuck’s hidden stash. He knew about
the secret room in Chuck’s bedroom because Chuck had inadvertently revealed it to him.
Gina had handled the rest of the ledger theft herself. Max had wanted to help, but there was nothing
he could do.
Gina also seemed to prefer not involving him too much, perhaps not wanting him to be seen as a
“traitor” to the Atkinson family.
