She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 145

Luna leaned against her mother's chest, having zero desire to speak another word to him.

"Quinn, I want to go home."

Miles stood frozen in place, a hollow void opening in his chest as disappointment clouded his eyes.

Was Luna really mad at him?

He couldn't fathom why seeing her upset caused him such intense discomfort.

It felt as though a damp piece of cotton had been lodged in his throat—not heavy, but enough to stifle his breathing.

The thought of the premium smartwatch he selected being swapped for a secondhand piece of junk—and accompanied by a note branding her a wild child—made his blood boil.

A terrifyingly cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the aura surrounding him instantly turned glacial.

"Hunter, did my decision to spare you from the Ethiopian mines last time give you the impression that I have a forgiving temper?"

Hunter's face drained of color, his knees practically knocking together in terror. "M-Mr. York, I... I swear I have no idea how it turned into a secondhand watch! There... there must have been a mistake somewhere. I'll investigate it immediately!"

No wonder the Madam's face had completely changed the moment he mentioned the watch earlier today.

So the gift Mr. York sent Luna had been secretly replaced with a used one.

And to top it off, someone had called Luna a wild child. It was entirely understandable why the Madam was so furious.

Miles's face was as dark as thunder. "If you screw this up again, get the hell out of my company!"

A cold sweat broke out across Hunter's back. "Mr. York, I... I will get to the bottom of this. I won't let little Luna stay mad at you."

...

Lounging on her sofa on her day off, Lynn Reed nearly jumped out of her skin when Hunter's call came through.

"Assistant Hunter..."

"Lynn, regarding the smartwatch purchase from a few days ago—I was tied up and you eagerly volunteered to handle it. Did you seriously buy a secondhand piece of trash?"

Though Jade had already rehearsed their alibi with her, receiving this aggressive call from Hunter still left Lynn flustered and panicking.

"A-Assistant Hunter, I... I followed your instructions exactly. How could it possibly be a secondhand watch?"
