She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 131

"If I hadn't gotten here in time, you would have completely destroyed Jade today!"

His words were like ice daggers, plunging ruthlessly into her chest.

Quinn froze in place, her brows furrowed in pain from the harsh impact against her waist.

A suffocating wave of anger and injustice clogged her throat, making it ache terribly.

She forced down the surging fury, silently mocking herself.

Jade was a vicious woman. That night, she had deliberately orchestrated a situation to lure Miles away.

It resulted in him kicking Quinn out of the car, leaving her stranded right where hired thugs were waiting to ambush her.

They nearly ruined her...

Yet today, all Quinn had done was slap her across the face.

And Miles, this completely blind and heartless man, had the nerve to call her vicious and incorrigible?

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Beneath her chest lay a tearing, suffocating pain that made it nearly impossible to breathe.

She offered no explanation, no rebuttal. She simply stared coldly at the man shielding Jade, listening to his harsh reprimands.

In Miles's eyes, she was nothing more than an unreasonable, domineering, and intolerably malicious woman.

Every word she spoke would only be seen as a futile excuse.

She was already numb to it, exhausted, and completely unwilling to waste her breath on him.

It was her own fault for being careless. Jade clearly knew Miles was approaching and played a petty trick to provoke her.

She shouldn't have let Jade rile her up, shouldn't have...

No, there was nothing she shouldn't have done!

Women like Jade deserved to be taught a brutal lesson. Honestly, Quinn felt that single slap was far too light.

She should have grabbed her by the hair, slammed her against the wall, and wiped that smug look right off her face.

A flicker of emotion crossed his eyes, and he ultimately held back his harsh words.

"Miles, it hurts so much!"

Seeing that he wasn't forcing Quinn to apologize and was instead distracted by her, resentment flared in Jade's eyes.

She cupped her burning cheek, crying out in a weak, fragile voice.

"Jade, are you alright?"

Tears welled up in her eyes as she tilted her head at the perfect angle, looking impossibly delicate and pitiful.

"Miles, I came with good intentions to give Quinn a gift and apologize for last time. I never expected her to hit me. She really must hate me."

"Quinn, if you don't welcome me, I won't come looking for you ever again."

Quinn kicked the box toward the door. "Take your things, Jade. I don't need your fake sympathy."

Miles looked at the jewelry he and Jade had thoughtfully picked out for her, now discarded by the door. His brows knitted into a tight frown.
