She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 186

[Jade, I'll be there in twenty minutes. Go ahead and start looking around with Leo.]

...

Quinn hailed a cab and headed to Fairview Apartments to check on the kids.

When Yara Chase saw the handprint on Quinn's face, her hands balled into tight fists. "Who did this?"

Quinn shook her head, gesturing for her to keep her voice down so the kids wouldn't hear.

"Yara, it was Macy York. But don't worry, I hit her back, and I hit her hard."

Yara wasn't satisfied. Why did a simple trip to the Manor have to end in violence?

Remembering that she had slapped Macy the other day, Yara guessed this was probably retaliation for that. She felt terrible.

"Where was Miles? Did he drag you to the Manor just so his family could gang up on you?"

Thinking of Miles's dark expression, Quinn felt a dull ache in her chest.

"He pulled Judith away."

"Just pulled his mother away? That piece of trash is exactly as awful as I thought!"

The next time she saw him, she was definitely going to get justice for Quinn.

Yara gently applied some ointment to her cheek. "Quinn, don't ever go back to the Manor. If Judith and Macy show up at Regency Bay, call me immediately. I'll come over and teach them a lesson for you!"

Quinn linked arms with her and smiled. "Okay."

After playing with the kids for a while, she got back to her translation work. Her phone buzzed with a flurry of messages, all from an anonymous burner account Jade used.

There were several photos of Miles picking out designer clothes for Leo, pictures of Jade trying on outfits, and snapshots of expensive jewelry.

Over a dozen photos flooded in. When Quinn didn't react, another message popped up: [Oh, I almost forgot. Quinn, right now you're probably hiding in some corner crying, licking your wounds, aren't you?]

[It's not that I want to call you stupid, but picking a fight with Macy at the Manor? You really have a death wish.]

Quinn hadn't planned on responding to the messages, but how did Jade know she had been hit by Macy?

"It'll take about ten days."

Hearing it would take that long, Jade couldn't hold back her impatience. She yelled,

"Ten days? Are you totally incompetent? It takes ten days to recover a few photo files?"

Tired of being scolded, Peter's tone lost its previous warmth.

"Ms. Winter, honestly, I was ready to just trash this computer and buy a new one. The only reason I'm trying to recover it is because you're paying me."

Realizing she had crossed a line, Jade swallowed her anger and forced her voice to sound sweet.

"Peter, please fix it as soon as you can. Once this is handled, I'll wire you another hundred thousand dollars."

Hearing the promise of a massive payout, Peter let out a satisfied chuckle. "Now that's more like it, Ms. Winter. When are you coming back to Callan City? We should relive old times. I still think about that night."

Jade shuddered. She remembered the morning she saw Quinn walking out of Miles's bedroom, feeling utterly betrayed.

Desperate to use Peter to ruin Quinn, she had offered up her own body.
