"You parade around everywhere with your precious childhood sweetheart attached to your hip, and you have the nerve to lecture others?"
"If you're going to preach, how about you set an example first?"
Miles choked on her words, his expression instantly darkening as his thin lips pressed into a sharp line.
He couldn't believe it. It hadn't even been a month since they signed the divorce papers.
How had Quinn become so sharp-tongued and shameless?
He was seriously starting to wonder if everything she had shown him in the past was just an act.
No, she had always lacked self-respect.
She was just too lazy to fake it anymore.
No one had ever dared to speak to Miles York like this. The veins at his temples throbbed, and a suppressed fury surged in his pitch-black eyes.
"Quinn Avery, the only reason I didn't hold you accountable the other day was because you bumped your head. Don't push your luck!"
His domineering posture and overwhelming aura radiated a terrifying, ice-cold authority that made the air heavy.
Mr. Landon was the CEO of a publicly traded company and had seen his fair share of powerful people.
But standing in front of this deeply intimidating man, he felt completely overshadowed.
"S-Sir, I believe you might have misunderstood..."
"Ms. Avery is just accompanying my..."
Before Mr. Landon could finish, Jade cut him off.
"Sir, I can tell you're a man of status and probably have no shortage of admirers. But you really shouldn't be making such inappropriate advances toward a married woman."
"Besides, given your age, you're practically old enough to be Quinn's father. How could you..."
She let her words trail off, her expression a picture of innocent distress.
This completely enraged Mr. Landon. His face turned livid, and he began to breathe heavily. "How dare you speak to me like that? Ms. Avery and I are not what you think. She is a client and..."
Jade was completely heartbroken for him, glaring furiously at Quinn. "How could you hit Miles?"
Then, shifting to her sickeningly sweet voice, she offered, "Miles, let me see... let me soothe it..."
"There's no need."
His face a mask of furious storm clouds, Miles turned and marched out of the store.
Seeing this, Jade hurriedly tried to follow, but she wasn't about to let Quinn off the hook so easily.
With a smirk playing on her lips, she turned to the store manager. "I always thought Valérie was the epitome of refined French elegance. I had no idea it was... so tacky and unrefined. This is the exact opposite of what I expected. I won't be returning."
The female manager looked incredibly awkward, glancing between Mr. Landon and Quinn, entirely unsure of what to say.
The wealthy socialites browsing the racks watched with gleeful gossip in their eyes, easily picking up on Jade's malicious insinuations.
They looked at Quinn with utter contempt, and a few women who had come together were already whispering among themselves.

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....
