Chapter 22 David remembered their meeting with Gina at the hospital and asked curiously, "Mr. Jackson, perhaps you can consider telling Miss Miller about your condition?" As Gabriel's confidant, he had learned about Gabriel's illness recently. “Miss Miller saved Mr. Neil. Perhaps she might be able to cure you. After all, there hasn't been any news of Dr. Genevieve. You can't keep dragging it on." David was worried. Gabriel didn't tell Gina earlier because it wasn't the right place. If someone overheard them, the news would get out. "Not right now. She seemed busy." Gabriel didn't want to exhaust Gina. David was shocked. How considerate was Gabriel of Gina! "Increase the reward posted on the hacker network. We must find Dr. Genevieve," Gabriel instructed. "Yes, sir," responded David. On the other hand, Gina opened Caleb's email. It contained the list of winners for the national jewelry design competition. The first price was Olivia. Gina didn't look at the other winners. She looked at Olivia's entry and smirked. Her mind was decided. The next day, after breakfast, Gina set out to buy a gift for Neil. She headed straight to Quaria's store. Their business was always booming, with people lining up to enter. Gina had privileges and could enter through the VIP channel. However, someone walked past her and bumped into her. Gina's arm felt cold. Gina realized a well-dressed woman had spilled her coffee on her. "You bumped into me," Gina spoke displeasedly. Jasmine Bush, wearing a long dress and a coat, with curled long hair and numerous jewelry, looked wealthy. She turned and lowered her sunglasses, scrutinizing Gina from head to toe. Seeing Gina in a plain top and sportswear, with no discernable brand, Jasmine's gaze grew disdainful. "So what? You're in the way. This is the VIP entrance for Quaria. Or are you the security?" "Shouldn't you apologize for bumping intoand spilling your coffee on me? Where are your manners?" Gina retorted calmly. Jasmine found it amusing. 'Who does she think she was to judge me? Jasmine glanced at the spill on Gina and took out 400 dollars. She threw it at Gina condescendingly. "Take it. This is enough to buy another outfit from the thrift store. The money fell on the ground. Gina stepped on the notes and looked sharply at Jasmine. “I told you to apologize." Jasmine was irritated. "How dare she take that tone to me? Jasmine raised her hand to slap Gina. "Disrespectful bitch Gina grabbed Jasmine's wrist. Chapter 22 de: 2 May 76% Jasmine couldn't free herself and was infuriated. "Let go." Gina's strength frightened Jasmine, especially because Gina's eyes were icy. "How much do you want? I'll give you. Or are you going to hit me?" Gina found her ludicrous. Jasmine was the one who tried to hit her first. 'I told you to apologize." Jasmine exclaimed exaggeratedly. "Ouch! Let go first. You're hurting me." Gina could control her strength well. Gina knew she wasn't hurting Jasmine and Jasmine was only pretending. Still, Gina let her go. Jasmine rubbed her wrist. When the store manager stepped out to welcthem, Jasmine complained, "You need to increase your security. You can't let anyone cin. Don't just stand around. Kick her out. I've spent more than 4 million dollars here. I'm your VIP The manager frowned. "I'm sorry. Miss Miller is our VIP too. You can't ask her to leave." Jasmine was shocked. Gina didn't wear any Quaria jewelry and looked like she couldn't afford any. Jasmine argued, "I don't care. She just tried to hit me. If you don't deal with this, my family will kick you out of Wrinster. The manager wasn't intimidated. She laughed. "Miss Bush, you're joking" Gina said calmly, "Why make things difficult for her? Let's call the police. There are surveillance cameras here. It'll be easy to know what happened. I won't settle.” Jasmine felt uneasy. Why is she so hard- headed?' Jasmine had learned from her sources that she won second place in the national jewelry design competition. She planned to reward herself with sjewelry from Quaria. She didn't expect this to happen. Jasmine beccautious. She looked at the manager. 'Did you say she's a VIP? Did she spend 4 million dollars here?" The manager shook her head. Jasmine laughed. "No?" She felt smug again and turned to ridicule Gina. Then, the manager said, "It's more than that." Jasmine couldn't believe it. "How much? 40 million dollars?" The manager smiled meaningfully. "I'm sorry. We can't disclose information about our customers." Jasmine swallowed. Her family dominated in real estate in Wrinster. She grew up in the lap of luxury. Still, she couldn't simply spend 40 million dollars carelessly. Jasmine thought, Who was she? Besides the Jackson family, who would have more money than my family?"
