Chapter 152
The smile on Max’s face disappeared, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Of course, Gabriel would not let anyone point a gun at him and wait for death. Behind him, David also took out the gun he had prepared and aimed it at Max’s head. “Mr. Griffiths, I know you come from the powerful Atkinson family, but Mr. Jackson is not to be trifled with either.
“The Atkinson family’s business is so big. Mr. Griffiths, have you not heard of Jackson Group of Norwood?”
David helped Gabriel reveal his identity.
Gabriel easily forked out 600 million dollars to buy the diamond mine to make Gaia happy. Even though Gabriel did not reveal his true identity when they were trading, Max had already guessed Gabriel’s identity.
Max thought, “He’s Gabriel, There’s indeed no need for the Atkinson family to offend him over a small matter.
“Max, tell your men to put down their guns,” Gina said.
This could be considered as giving Max a way
Gabriel noticed it too. He was a little surprised. He thought, ‘Gina is… helping Max. Why?”
Max took the opportunity to break the stalemate. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.
Then, he asked the bodyguards to put away their weapons.
Max looked at Gabriel and said in a sarcastic tone, “Mr. Jackson, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Gabriel ignored Max with a cold expression.
A look of disdain appeared on Max’s face. The two of them seemed to disl ke each other.
What do
lo you want?”
Gina chose to negotiate with Max herself.
I’m afraid you’ll forget about me, so I came to you to make my presence known,” Max said glibly.
“My memory isn’t…”
Gina thought, “My memory isn’t that bad.”
Gina paused before she could finish her sentence. She suddenly looked up and met Max’s half-smiling gaze. She felt even more that Max was not spouting sweet words on a whim.
Gina probed, “Have we met in the past?”
“Yes,” Max answered naturally. “We met yesterday. Wasn’t that the past?”
Gina was speechlessat Max’s ambiguous answer.
“My memory isn’t bad. I won’t forget the people I saw yesterday. You brought so many people with you, I thought you wanted to s n a t c h the diamond
mine back.”
Max smiled. “The diamond mine is yours now. I won’t s a t c h your things”

Max’s words became more ambiguous. Gabriel’s patience was running out. He held Gina’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Gina agreed readily. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving. We have to catch a plane home in the afternoon, so we won’t chat anymore.”
球會87%.
“I’ll send you to the airport. After today, I don’t know when we’ll meet again, Sigh, are you really not going to stay for a few more days? If you don’t want. to stay in Eldoria, I’ll take you to Ouston. How about that?”
“That won’t be necessary”
Gabriel rejected.
Max took a deep breath. He was obviously dissatisfied with Gabriel’s answer, but Gabriel had already revealed his identity. Max could not let the bodyguards threaten Gabriel with their guns.
Max’s face was full of impatience. He laughed angrily and said, “Mr. Jackson, I’m not asking you. Please don’t rush to answer.”
“No need, I shan’t trouble you.
Gina rejected.
“Alright, then I’m leaving. I believe we’re fated to meet again soon.”
With that, Max prepared to get into his car.
Gina turned around and asked, “Are you returning to the country?”
Max’s answer was very vague again. “Nothing is certain. Perhaps my dear mother will want to return to the country to visit her family one day.”
Gina was slightly surprised. Max seemed to be hinting at her.
“Goodbye.” Max got into the car and waved at Gina. Then, the car drove away.
“This Max is definitely the most arrogant person I’ve ever met,” David could not help but complain.
Gabriel looked grim. When they returned upstairs and Gina was about to return to her room, Gabriel asked, “Gina, can I talk to you?”
Gina did not understand why Gabriel frowned. “Okay,”
After entering the room and taking a seat, Gabriel asked carefully, “Gina, don’t you dislike Max’s approach?”
When Gabriel first came into contact with Gina, Gina did not accept his approach so quickly. Gabriel did not understand why Max’s seemingly frivolous words and actions did not disgust Gins.
He was very nervous. Of course, he did not restrict who Gina liked, or that Gina must like him because he had courted her. However, this feeling of being surpassed was really uncomfortable.
Gina was still a little confused. “Why must I dislike his approach?”
At this moment, Gabriel felt even worse. It could be said to be torture. He even felt that his breathing was not smooth. He lowered his head and frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Are you interested in him?”
Gabriel thought, is it love at first sight?”
His words stunned Gina. Gina could not help but laugh. “What are you talking about? Why would I be interested in him? Are you asking me if I like him? | won’t like someone I don’t know well”

Chapter 152
Gina had never believed in love at first sight.
It was because love at first sight was too risky. She felt that love at first sight was mostly because of the other party’s looks. Max was good-looking, but this could not serve as a reason for her to be interested in Max.
Moreover, she had seen many good-looking people.
For example, Gabriel in front of her….
The person she really liked now was Gabriel whom she knew well. However, she was too shy to voice her true thoughts.
Gabriel was slightly relieved, but he was still a little worried. “But you don’t seem to object to his close contact.”
Gabriel felt a little sad. When he first met Gina, he did not receive such treatment.
He wondered, “Why could Max?’
Gina explained, “It’s because he might be my adoptive parents’ child.”
“Ruby’s child?”
The first person that came to Gabriel’s mind was Ruby, but didn’t he hear from Gina that Ruby’s husband and son were dead? Could it be that Ruby’s child didn’t die but went overseas and became the Atkinson family’s young heir?
That was a little ridiculous.
Gina shook her head. “It’s not her.”
Gina told Gabriel about how she was adopted for a period of time when

young.
“So, you suspect that Max is the missing son of the couple from back then?”
“Yes,” Gina nodded.
Gabriel thought, ‘I see. Gina didn’t reject Max’s approach because Gina wanted to confirm Max’s identity. She wanted to find the couple’s missing son and repay their kindness for adopting her.”
A rare look of dejection appeared on Gina’s face. “I’ve always felt guilty. My arrival had caused discord in their
