Jade's smile widened as a thrill of absolute victory rushed through her.
"Macy, let's go take photos at the lake next week."
Macy had assumed they were going this weekend. "Aww... why not this week?"
Jade let out a coy, bashful laugh. "I can't this week. I... have plans to catch a movie and go shopping."
Macy giggled. "Oh, no wonder you pushed our photoshoot back! You already have a date with Miles."
Jade's voice was disgustingly sweet. "Macy, stop teasing me!"
After hanging up, Jade was in an incredibly good mood.
Thinking of Quinn, a cold, venomous light flashed in her eyes. The daughter of a maid actually thought she could compete with her?
She barely even had to lift a finger; there were plenty of people lining up to destroy Quinn for her.
She pulled out her phone and sent a sickeningly sweet text to Miles.
Miles replied: [Yeah, see you tomorrow.]
...
"Quinn, what did you just say? That total bastard Miles won't let you move out?"
Quinn held her phone in her left hand, hiding in a secluded corner of the garden to take the video call. Her right hand was wrapped in thick white gauze.
"Yeah. Next Wednesday is the day we officially finalize the divorce at the Town Hall. He refused to let me leave, saying I have to stay at the York estate until the paperwork is done. I have no idea what psycho trip he's on right now."
Yara was furious. "Are you coming back tonight? The kids were so excited, they've been waiting for you all day."
Quinn glanced down at her heavily bandaged hand. She couldn't let the twins see her like this; it would just break their hearts again.
"I'll come back in a few days."
Judith instantly went silent. She was the one who had established that rule.
Miles hung up the phone. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Quinn hiding in the garden.
Seeing the genuine, radiant smile on her face, his gaze darkened. Filled with a sudden, restless irritation, he walked straight toward her.
"Mommy, when are you coming to see me and Caleb again?"
Luna's little voice was incredibly gentle, carrying the unique, adorable tone of a toddler, yet filled with a sad pout.
Seeing her daughter upset, Quinn quickly tried to soothe her. "Just a few more days, okay? Mommy will come see you and Caleb, and I'll take you both to the amusement park."
At the mention of the amusement park, Luna's eyes curved into happy little crescents. She replied sweetly, "Okay, Mommy! Me and Caleb will wait for you at home."
Without any warning, Miles leaned directly over Quinn's shoulder. Terrified, Quinn's hand jerked, and the phone tumbled onto the grass.
"What do you think you're doing?"

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
