She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 13

"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.
