When She Stops Playing Nice (Hale Saxon) novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358 

Next, she could devise a plan to seize the royal heir’s position slowly. 

Willie also discovered Lisa’s ambition at this moment and stated, “It seems that Princess Lisa is not interested in marriage, but she must be very interested in the position of heir, right?” 

“Mr. Willie, speak your mind.” Lisa said. 

Willie continued, “Princess Lisa, I must protect my son. If you cannot agree to my request, I think I might have to find an opportunity to talk to Prince Alan, the current heir. Perhaps Prince Alan, considering the economic contributions the Atkinson family has made to the country, will agree to my 

conditions. 

“Anyway, both the prince and you are members of the royal family, so either of you handling this matter would satisfy Shyran, What do you think?” 

Willie knew that Lisa wanted to use the fight against crime to make an appearance in front of the public. If he gave this opportunity to Prince Alan, Princess Lisa would have no way to gain prominence. 

He could also remind Prince Alan that his sister intended to compete with him for the position of royal heir. 

He thought that Prince Alan might even thank him for alerting him to the potential “threat” posed by Lisa. 

Lisa realized that Willie was threatening her, but she did not want her brother to benefit from her efforts. However, how could she explain it to Gina if she did not take Chuck away? She also wondered what Gina and that lady were discussing in the study. 

With a cold expression, Lisa first stabilized Willie and said, “Let us wait until Miss Miller finishes talking with your wife.” 

Willie nodded, “Of course, but I also hope you will seriously consider what I just said.” 

Faith looked sincerely at Gina in the study and said, “Miss Miller, I have a request for you.” 

As she spoke, she was about to kneel before Gina, Gina quickly supported her and said, “Mrs. Griffiths, what are you doing?” 

“I am begging you,” Faith said. 

“Mrs. Griffiths, you do not need to kneel to ask me for something. Just say what you need.” Gina stated. 

Faith shook her head and replied, “No, I must do something to show you my sincerity.” 

“Tell me, what do you want from me?” Gina asked, puzzled. 

Faith begged, “I beg you, spare Chuck, agree to Mr. Willie’s request, and let Ben take the blame as the mastermind and take him back to face the law.” Faith’s request was something Gina could not accept, but she still listened to Faith explain why she was pleading for Chuck. 

“Miss Miller. I am not pleading for Chuck; I am pleading for Max,” Faith said. 

Faith said, “Max helped you find evidence of Chuck’s crimes, right?” 

Gina could not deny it, she nodded. 

Faith said, “Chuck did wrong and deserves to face the law, but Mr. Willie loves his child very much. Even though Max is not his child, he still treats him as his own. But… If Mr. Willie becomes disappointed in Max and reveals his identity, those who want Max dead will come after him.”

As Faith spoke, she choked up. 

Gina, with a serious expression, patiently said. “Mrs. Griffiths, actually, I can protect Max.” 

Even without the protection of the Atkinson family, she would still protect Max–the only bloodline left by Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson. 

Faith shook her head and said, “Miss Miller, it is not that I do not trust you, but… I do not want Max to feel guilty toward Mr. Willie. I am sorry, I should have apologized to you first. I should not morally coerce you, but Mr. Willie’s kindness to Max is immeasurable. I do not want to see Mr. Willie disappointed and at odds with Max. So, I am begging you, spare Chuck just this once.” 

Gina sighed. If she had not come to Mesnica and met Max, if the rest of the Atkinson family had not known she was Max’s friend, then Max would not have been implicated. 

She could protect Max, but she did not want to see Max lose the warmth of a family after just regaining it. 

She could protect Max from physical harm, but the mental and emotional pain of being estranged from his “father” was something she could not help 

him overcome. 

The warmth and happiness Max currently had with his family were hard–earned. Gina believed Faith’s words that Willie treated Max as his own and loved him deeply. Otherwise, Max would not have been able to act so arrogantly under the Atkinson family’s name. 

Seeing his “sons” fight would definitely disappoint Mr. Willie and might even lead him to retaliate against Max to protect Chuck.. 

Gina could understand their difficulties and replied, “Mrs. Griffiths, I agree, I will spare Chuck this time.” 

Faith broke into a smile through her tears, “Thank you, thank you! 

Faith added, “I know that asking you like this might seem like coercion, making you repay Mr. Willie’s kindness to Max on our behalf, but from now on, Miss Miller, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. Do not think I am useless; at the very least, I still have my life, and I am willing to use it to repay your kindness today.” 

Gina shook her head and replied, “Mrs. Griffiths, you are overreacting” 

“Let us leave it at that for now. I want to resolve this matter as soon as possible.” Gina said. 

“Yes, yes,” Faith agreed, not wanting to waste Gina’s time. 

When Gina walked out of the study, everyone else was still waiting in the living room. 

She walked over to Princess Lisa. As she approached, Lisa suddenly stood up and whispered to her, “Gina, can I talk to you about something?”

ook. She had a good g 

guess as to what was troubling Lisa because she was indeed wavering on sparing Chuck. 

Gina turned to see Lisa’s slightly troubled look. 

Lisa had her own considerations, and now Gina also had her own concerns. 

Η 

She told Lisa, “Lisa, I think we do not need to discuss this anymore.“” 

Lisa hesitated to speak. Gina was so smart, she must have guessed that what she wanted to say was to spare Chuck and let Ben take the blame. 

From Gina’s reaction, there seemed to be no room for negotiation on this matter, 

But Lisa was unwilling to give up. After all, if Chuck was not spared, Willie might seek her brother’s help, affecting her plans…

Lisa wanted to make one more effort. “Gina, I really have something important to tell you.” 

Gina looked at Lisa and said, “I know what you want to
