She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 162

If Miles saw his face, she would be trapped in an impossible situation.

In her arms, Luna, who had been excitedly cheering for her brother moments ago, froze at the sudden uproar. She tugged at her mother's collar.

She asked with concern, "Mommy, what are those people saying?"

Quinn knew that to help her child, she had to stay calm. She gently comforted her.

"Luna, you sit here with Yara. I'm going on stage."

She needed to go up and protect her son. She couldn't let him face these accusations alone; he was still so little.

She also deeply regretted her decision. The moment she saw Miles and Jade, she should have taken her son and left.

Then he wouldn't have been pushed to the center of this storm.

Her son hadn't cheated; his knowledge was entirely his own.

What right did these people have to question her son like this?

Just because they couldn't reach such heights at his age, did that give them the right to bully a child?

Seeing her about to go up, Yara quickly held her back. "Quinn, don't go on stage. Jade knows you. If she figures out your connection to Caleb, she'll target him even more."

"I'll go up. Don't worry."

If Caleb hadn't insisted on going up alone earlier, she would have been right there with him.

Hearing this, Quinn clenched her fists, forcing down her surging anxiety. "Yara, Caleb can't be exposed."

Yara gently patted her hand, giving her a reassuring look. "Quinn, rest assured, I'll protect him."

Wesley's sharp voice rang out again. "If he didn't cheat, then take off the mask."

"Yeah, why won't he take off the mask?"

Wesley's face turned livid. Just as he was about to retort, the host intervened.

"Parents, let's leave this to The Prodigy Panel."

Several members of The Prodigy Panel felt this made sense. "Sir, please calm down. Caleb is right; the burden of proof lies with the accuser. If you suspect him of cheating, you need to provide evidence, not just empty claims and guesses."

Some people in the crowd agreed. "Exactly. The parents should calm down first."

"Miles, why won't this kid take off the mask? If he just takes it off and lets a professional inspect it, he can prove his innocence. Why won't he cooperate?"

Macy leaned toward the idea that Caleb had cheated, or perhaps she just didn't want Leo's impending victory snatched away by this boy, prompting her to voice her doubts.

Jade observed the man beside her. His expression was unreadable, offering no clues to his thoughts.

She could only add subtly, "Unless he's afraid of something, and there's a secret hidden in that mask."
