She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 201

"Jack, what’s going on?"

Jack had heard the commotion from the hall and was just about to investigate when he saw his employer return. He hurried over.

"Sir, it seems... Ms. Avery, Ms. York, and Ms. Winter are having an argument."

Fearing a repeat of the disastrous incident at the old estate, Miles York quickly stepped into the room.

"Jade, if he didn't steal the scarf, let us search his backpack. If it's not there, I will gladly apologize to him!" Quinn Avery demanded.

Jade Winter was terrified. If the scarf was found, Macy York would realize Leo was a lying little thief. She couldn't let them search that bag.

"Quinn, you have no right to search Leo's things," she deflected.

Quinn reached for it anyway. "You're blocking me because you know exactly what your son hid in there!"

"I am not! Stop making wild accusations!"

Catching sight of Miles out of the corner of her eye, a calculating gleam flashed through Jade’s gaze. As Quinn reached for the bag, Jade used the momentum to stagger backward, staging a dramatic fall as if Quinn had shoved her.

"Ah! You pushed me again..."

Miles took in the entire scene from the doorway.

His expression darkened instantly. Striding forward, he leaned down to help Jade up, pulling her protectively behind him as his predatory gaze locked onto Quinn with chilling intensity.

"Quinn Avery," he reprimanded sharply. "You pushed Jade again. What exactly did she do to offend you this time?"

Macy, seeing her brother was back, immediately chimed in, her eyes filled with disgust.

"Miles, you're finally home! Quinn is out of her mind. She's accusing a three-year-old of stealing, backing him into a corner, and getting physical. You have to punish her for this!"

Reading the room, Leo rubbed his eyes and burst into loud wails, hiding behind his mother's legs as he sobbed.

"Daddy... she's a bad woman. She called me a thief and bullied my mommy..."

She hadn't pushed anyone, and she certainly hadn't falsely accused Leo.

But meeting that death glare of his, the words died on her tongue. What was the point? He wouldn't listen.

Swallowing the bitter injustice, she let her emotions drain away until she was completely numb.

The tears faded, replaced by an icy indifference.

She looked at Miles with nothing but cold disdain, as if staring at something utterly repulsive.

A mocking smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Your son stole my property, Miles. Am I not supposed to ask for it back?"

His jaw tightened. "Do you have any proof he stole it?"

"The maids saw him sneak into my room."
