Hunter placed the dossier of evidence squarely on Miles's executive desk. "Mr. York, here is the proof. To ensure Leo won the championship, Wesley deliberately bribed the production crew to cut Caleb's microphone."
Miles hadn't believed Wesley would stoop to something so underhanded. To secure a title for a toddler, the man had actually corrupted the event staff?
When Jade found out from Lynn that Hunter had successfully traced the sabotage back to her brother, she rushed over to York Plaza in a panic.
But she was a step too late. The damning evidence was already sitting on the CEO's desk.
Lynn cowered behind her, her shoulders hunched, terrified of being caught in the crossfire of Mr. York's legendary temper.
"Secretary Winter, I... I'm so sorry. I had no idea Hunter was eavesdropping on my call with your brother."
"You're useless!"
Lynn swallowed her grievance, not daring to argue back.
The second Jade stepped into the executive suite, her demeanor completely transformed.
Her eyes immediately brimmed with tears, her voice fragile and trembling. "Miles... I had no idea Wesley would do something like this..."
"But Leo did answer the questions correctly on his own."
Miles's gaze was dangerously dark. "Wesley is quite the operator. He actually thought he could reach his hands into an event sponsored by my corporation?"
Jade knew he was furious, and panic clawed at her chest.
She offered a tearful, desperate defense. "Miles... Wesley is Leo's uncle. He only did this because he loves Leo... because he loves me..."
Miles's eyes were as cold and deep as an abyss. The restrained fury in his voice was palpable.
"So, because he loves Leo, it's acceptable to bribe staff, rig a competition, cut another child's mic, and steal a championship title?"
All the color drained from Jade's face. True panic flashed in her eyes. "Miles... I'm... I'm so sorry. But the damage is already done. Can't we just pretend this never happened?"
"I'll make sure Wesley writes a formal apology. He only did it for Leo."
She wept beautifully as she pleaded, her natural doe eyes maximizing the effect.
With tears streaming down her face, she looked as fragile and pitiful as a delicate orchid battered by the rain.
"Miles, please... for the sake of the years we spent growing up together, let Leo keep the title. He's so little. He's only three. Stripping it away will leave a permanent emotional scar on him."
Miles rubbed his temples, genuinely conflicted.
Leo was only three, and the entire disaster was Wesley's fault. The child was an innocent bystander.
"Leo can retain a co-championship. But Wesley will face the consequences."
Hearing this, the fragility in Jade's eyes instantly morphed into relief, her voice turning sickeningly sweet.
"Thank you, Miles. My parents will discipline Wesley severely for this. They'll definitely ground him, and I'll bring you his written apology personally."
Hunter watched the exchange, deep in thought. Wouldn't Mr. York handling it this way completely enrage Quinn?

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....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
