She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 200

Panic flickered in Jade's chest at the mention of the police. "Quinn, what is wrong with you? Leo already said he didn't take your scarf! Look how terrified you've made him!"

Leo immediately erupted into dramatic, wailing sobs, furiously rubbing his eyes. "Mommy, she's a bad lady! I didn't steal it, she's a liar!"

"Waaaaah... Auntie Macy, this mean lady is always yelling at me..."

Seeing her precious nephew bullied to tears, Macy's eyebrows shot up. Her tone turned venomous and entirely arrogant.

"If you say one more word to threaten Leo, I'm calling my mother and my brother, and I'll have you thrown out of Regency Bay!"

Quinn couldn't care less. "Go right ahead, Macy. I'm not threatening anyone. My property is missing. What's wrong with calling the cops? Call your mother, call your brother—let them all come see for themselves that Leo is a thief!"

Her voice was thick with uncontainable outrage. "If that scarf isn't returned today, I will absolutely call the police. And then everyone in town will know that Leo is nothing but a dirty little thief."

Hearing that actual police officers might show up, Leo's guilt spiked, and his eyes darted around erratically.

He tugged nervously at his mother's skirt, and Jade instantly connected the dots.

Leo subtly pointed a finger at his backpack, silently communicating that he had hidden the scarf inside.

Jade took two quick steps, using her body to block his little backpack on the sofa. She was terrified Quinn might search it, and even more terrified Macy would find out Leo really had stolen it.

At the same time, she put on a sickeningly fragile act, looking deeply hurt and victimized.

"Quinn, he's only three years old! How can you slap the label of 'thief' on a toddler? How can you use the police to traumatize him?"

"I know... I know you've always hated me, but you can't take all your resentment and bitterness out on an innocent three-year-old child! If you have a problem with me, take it out on me!"

Watching Jade perform this pathetic, helpless routine made Quinn so furious her chest ached.

"Jade, is this how you raise your son? To be a criminal? I bet you were the one who told Leo to sneak into my room and steal my things!"
