She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 240

"It must have been Quinn's friend! She saw that her own daughter was leaving and didn't want to play anymore, so she viciously scattered that powder on the slide. She knew Leo would go down it and get bitten by bugs and ants.

Leo's skin is so sensitive, of course he broke out in a terrible allergic rash. That woman is pure evil!"

Miles felt his mother was jumping to conclusions too quickly. He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Mom, didn't you hear the maid? She said Yara accidentally dropped some powder on the slide. Leo just happened to play on it afterward and got some on himself."

"Don't make assumptions before we have all the facts."

Seeing that he still refused to believe it and was actively defending Quinn's friend, Judith exploded in anger.

"Then call Quinn and her friend here! Let's confront them face to face!"

Miles replied, clearly agitated, "I invited her over. You think she planned ahead to bring coconut milk powder just to hurt someone?"

Standing out in the hallway, Jade heard every word exchanged between mother and son through the cracked door.

She stood frozen, her nails digging hard into her palms, her eyes burning with pure hatred.

Miles was actually taking the side of Quinn's friend?

Even with a maid claiming she saw it, he still refused to believe it?

Pulling the door open, she walked out with weak, unsteady steps, her shoulders trembling slightly. "Mrs. York, Leo is suffering so much, covered in this awful rash. At the end of the day, it's my fault for being careless. If I had noticed someone sprinkling powder on the slide sooner, Leo wouldn't be in this pain."

Her voice was as delicate as shattered glass, weak and pitiful. "Miles, Leo is so uncomfortable. His little body is still trembling in his sleep."

A thin sheen of tears blurred her vision as she blamed herself. "It's all because I'm a bad mother. If someone has a problem, they should come after me. Why make my child suffer like this?"

"Jade, this isn't your fault. Don't put all the blame on yourself."

Right at that moment, Jack called.

He had just overheard that Macy had called the cops on her own without waiting for Miles to return, sending the police straight to arrest Quinn.

Miles answered impatiently. "Jack, what is it?"

"Sir, we have a problem. Macy filed a police report and sent officers to arrest Ms. Avery and her friend."

"What?"

"Macy just got a call from the station saying they've been brought in. She's being asked to go down and identify them."

Miles's face instantly clouded over, a storm of violent fury swirling in his dark eyes.
