Quinn was slightly taken aback by the question.
Was Miles actually... believing her?
"I'm positive."
Panic flared in Jade's eyes. What was Miles doing?
Did he actually believe this woman enough to agree to a search?
She gripped the straps tighter. If they found it, everyone would know Leo was a liar and a thief. What would she do then?
Biting her lower lip, she let out a soft sob. "Miles... Quinn must have made a mistake. Why would her scarf be in his bag?"
Macy chimed in maliciously, "There's no scarf in there. She just hates you and Leo, so she's trying to frame him! Don't listen to her, Miles."
Sensing his mother's anxiety, Leo threw his arms around her neck and whispered something in her ear.
Jade's eyes widened slightly as she stared at her son. Her worried expression instantly dissolved, replaced by a sinister, hidden smirk.
Her little boy was brilliant!
Her face, however, remained a picture of weak vulnerability. "Miles, she has no right to search his bag. He didn't steal anything."
A heavy layer of irritation settled over Miles's features. He pinched the bridge of his nose, exhausted by the drama.
"Quinn, since you are so certain Caleb's scarf is in that backpack, I'll have someone check it."
Quinn’s expression shifted. He was actually agreeing to this?
But she knew there had to be a catch.
Sure enough, the man laid down his terms.
His face was dark, his gaze radiating a chilling warning.
"If the scarf isn't in there, you will apologize to both of them in front of everyone in this room!"
Resentment burned within Jade. He clearly believed Quinn, yet he was framing it as doing Leo a favor.
Lowering her gaze, she slowly loosened her grip. Her shoulders trembled slightly, painting the picture of a woman pushed to the absolute brink, as she turned her face away and handed the backpack over.
Her voice broke with forced endurance. "Check it! Go ahead and search. We have nothing to hide. Quinn, why do you insist on humiliating us like this?"
She let out a tragic sob. "Miles, you'd rather believe her insanity than trust us?"
Macy had wanted to argue, but she knew her brother had a point.
Leo had been in that room. Searching the bag was the quickest way to prove his innocence.
She stepped forward to comfort her friend. "Jade, he trusts you. He just wants to slap Quinn in the face with the truth."
She shot a venomous glare at Quinn. "When we don't find your stupid scarf, you're going to pay for this!"
Miles's chest tightened as he watched Jade and her son endure such profound humiliation.

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....
