She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 234

"Jade, the fact that you won't swear on it proves you're guilty. Yet you still have the audacity to twist the narrative and claim I'm humiliating you!"

Jade lost all the color in her face. She wanted to argue back, but going up against both Quinn and Yara felt like a losing battle.

She had originally intended to use the situation to force an apology out of Quinn, but instead, she ended up being the one humiliated.

Tears pooled in her eyes. Biting her pale lip, she cast a weak, pitiful glance toward Miles.

But Miles didn't spare her a single glance. His entire focus was fixed on Luna, the little girl who was currently fuming at him.

His mind was racing, trying to figure out how to gently coax her so she wouldn't be mad at him anymore.

He was completely oblivious to Jade's fragile, teary-eyed performance.

The mere thought of Luna ignoring him forever made his chest ache terribly. He couldn't even explain to himself why it hurt so much.

"Yara, Luna, let's go."

Panic surged in Miles's chest. He wanted to say something to make them stay, but he couldn't find a single valid excuse.

In the past, he might have used his overbearing authority to force them to stay, but right now, he had no right to hold them back.

Cody raised a mocking eyebrow. "Good riddance. At least she knows her place. Miles, let's just make this gathering all about Leo."

Luke chimed in, "Cody's right. We were originally here to celebrate Jade and Leo anyway. Now that the eyesores are gone, we can finally relax."

"Shut up!"

Miles was already in a foul mood. Hearing his two friends run their mouths ignited a blazing fury in his chest, sending a terrifying, icy aura rippling off him.

The two men instinctively flinched, completely bewildered.

Why was Miles suddenly so furious?

Noticing that Miles's gaze was still locked on the retreating figures of Quinn and her group, Cody realized something.

Seeing her brows knit together in distress, tears welling in her eyes, and her lower lip trembling as she held back sobs, Miles felt none of his usual sympathy.

Instead, a flicker of irritation crossed his face.

Jade waited for what felt like an eternity, but he didn't offer a single word of comfort. Her heart twisted painfully, knotting with anxiety.

She managed to force out a wounded whisper, "Leo is still so young. How can you be so strict with him?"

Miles snapped, visibly agitated, "Luna is younger than him, and you don't see her going around calling people wild children!"

A flash of utter shock crossed Jade's eyes. So he was angry at Leo because of that wild child!

A violent wave of hatred surged within her. He cared so much about some random kid?

Leo acknowledged him as a father, yet Miles showed zero concern or affection for him.

She dug her nails deeply into her palms, using the sharp pain to suppress her spiraling jealousy and madness.
