She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 123

Remembering the condition Ethan had laid out when asked to return to the country, Miles gave him a scrutinizing look.

Could it be that Ethan already had someone he liked?

Was that why he demanded the freedom to choose his own marriage?

A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on Ethan's lips as he casually pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Mr. York, since when are you so interested in my private life?"

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Miles dropped the subject. "When are you heading back? Your uncle's health is deteriorating by the day."

Ethan ignored the question, his gaze shifting to Jade, who was sitting in a wheelchair nearby.

Miles was completely ignoring his own wife to carefully tend to another woman.

After the banquet that night, he had actually kicked his own wife out of the car. If Ethan hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The thought made Ethan's gaze turn freezing cold.

"Mr. York, is the woman beside you your hidden wife?"

He asked the question with a touch of deliberate sarcasm, knowing full well what the answer was.

A flash of discomfort crossed Miles's handsome face. "No, she isn't. Her name is Jade Winter, the heiress of the Winter Corporation."

"Ah, I remember now. Before your secret marriage, you had a childhood sweetheart. That would be Ms. Winter, I presume?"

Miles had zero interest in discussing the matter. "I'm flying back next week. You can come with me."

"No need. Thank you for the offer, Mr. York," Ethan replied distantly.

Miles didn't push it. "Make sure you visit your uncle as soon as you land."

Ethan didn't reply. He simply turned and walked away.

Nearby, Jade and Lynn were scrolling through information about a ballet troupe in Prague. "Secretary Winter, Mr. York chartered a private jet just to make you happy."

Prague was only a five-hour flight from Callan City. They could watch the performance and fly right back the next day.

Forget it. Let her do what she wants.

He figured that once she received the jewelry tomorrow, the whole incident would blow over.

After all, she was greedy and obsessed with money.

Meanwhile, Wilson had managed to track down a couple of the thugs. Their confessions were perfectly aligned—they simply robbed Quinn for her jewelry, without ever mentioning the plan to strip her or take compromising photos.

The case was processed as a standard robbery. When Jade received the news, a massive weight lifted off her chest.

She furiously scolded the middleman she had hired, furious that he had taken so much money and still botched the job.

But the middleman assured her that they had managed to snap a few photos. Even though her clothes hadn't been torn off, the pictures were suggestive enough to let people's imaginations run wild.

When Jade received the images, she saw they clearly captured Quinn's face. A twisted look of pure satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

These few photos would be more than enough for Macy and Judith to throw her out of Regency Bay.
