She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 176

After all, Caleb was Quinn's best friend's relative, wasn't he?

Would little Luna be furious too? Caleb was her cousin.

Downstairs, Lynn walked Jade out, her tone dripping with eager flattery.

"Secretary Winter, that's wonderful news! Mr. York didn't strip young Leo of his title after all."

Smack!

Jade slapped her hard across the face. "Shut up!"

What was so wonderful about it?

The championship belonged exclusively to her Leo! Now he had to share it with that little freak, Caleb. She was practically choking on her rage.

Dark, venomous jealousy swirled in Jade's eyes, her chest heaving with malice.

Lynn clutched her burning cheek, too terrified to make a sound.

She knew she was to blame this time for carelessly letting Hunter overhear Wesley's plans.

"Ms. Winter, I... I didn't mean for this to happen. How was I supposed to know Hunter was sneaking around listening to us?"

She shrank her neck down, keeping her voice to a pathetic whisper.

"You managed to keep him off our scent with the smartwatch fiasco. What is wrong with you this time? Are you out of your mind? You basically handed him the evidence on a silver platter!"

Remembering the smartwatch incident, Lynn felt a surge of defensive justification. "Secretary Winter, Hunter was already highly suspicious about the watch. That's why he was tailing me today."

"Thankfully, the handwriting test for the note you had Wesley write didn't match either of us. Without hard evidence, he was forced to swallow the loss."

No wonder he had spoken up against them in front of Miles earlier.

Remembering how Hunter had advocated for Caleb, a cold, vicious light gleamed in Jade's eyes. This assistant actually had the nerve to speak up for Quinn.

Fine. She would just have to persuade Miles to get a new executive assistant.
