Julian Fox let out a dry chuckle. "Alright, Macy, didn't you say you invited everyone over for a BBQ today?"
Hearing this, Macy's eyes lit up. "Julian, I'll have the staff set it up right away."
She had hosted this BBQ at Regency Bay specifically to create an opportunity to spend time with Julian. She hadn't even invited Chloe.
Gail walked over. "Miss, everything is set up on the southeast patio."
Quinn glanced over at Julian and was surprised to find him looking back at her.
She gave him a brief nod, silently thanking him for defusing the situation.
Julian's lips curled into a slight smile, and he gave a subtle nod in return.
Quinn turned to head out but was blocked by Jack. "Ms. Avery, Mr. York said... you aren't allowed to leave."
"Why the hell not?"
What kind of power trip was Miles on now?
"Ms... Avery, why don't you give him a call? You can leave once you have his permission."
What was this bastard playing at?
If she had known, she would never have handed over the stomach medication last night. She should have just let him writhe in pain.
She had arranged to meet Yara Chase at the mall to see her kids. Being trapped here sent a surge of fury straight to her chest.
She dialed Miles's number.
Miles was in the middle of a meeting. Seeing her name flash on the screen, he instantly rejected the call.
Quinn was so furious her chest heaved as she cursed him in her head.
"Jack, did that jerk... did Miles say when he'll be back?"
"Probably this afternoon. Since Miss Macy invited so many friends over, he should be back early."
Jack added, "Ms. Avery, they're having a BBQ on the patio. Would you like to join them?"
Quinn had zero desire to mingle with Miles's elite circle. They lived in entirely different worlds.
She hurried over and grabbed Quinn's hand, playing the role of a devoted best friend. "Quinn, come join the BBQ! We saved a seat for you."
Her nails viciously dug into Quinn's palm—deliberately targeting her injured hand.
Quinn hadn't expected Jade to stoop to physical assault right after throwing verbal garbage at her.
Hissing in pain, Quinn instinctively yanked her hand away.
She hadn't used any force; she merely wanted to free herself.
But Jade acted as if she had been shoved with tremendous violence. She stumbled backward, lost her balance, and collapsed onto the ground.
"Ah! My ankle..."
Her eyes instantly filled with tears, looking as if she were in agonizing pain. Her voice was weak and trembling.
"Quinn... I just wanted to invite you to eat. If you didn't want to come, you didn't have to push me."
Miles had just stepped out of the car and witnessed the entire scene. He rushed over to her. "Jade!"

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
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....
