She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 242

Straightening her back, a haughty expression returned to her face. She took a quick half-step forward and pointed at Quinn, crying out her grievances loudly.

"Miles, Quinn is bullying me just because she has a lawyer with her."

"I was merely stating the truth. Instead of reflecting on her own actions, she had her lawyer prepare to sue me for defamation. They're clearly the ones in the wrong, yet now they're trying to use the law to intimidate me."

She deliberately made her eyes well up with tears, completely twisting the truth while sounding entirely self-righteous with every word.

Jade stepped in to defend Macy, her tone gentle as she deliberately picked at Quinn's faults.

"Quinn, this is really your fault. No matter what, Macy is still technically your sister-in-law. We're all one big family. What can't be resolved with a calm conversation? How could you just threaten to sue her?"

Seeing Jade step up to play the peacemaker, Yara rolled her eyes so hard they nearly stuck in the back of her head and scoffed coldly.

"Jade, when she was trying to sue Quinn and me, why didn't she remember we were family? Why didn't she think about how Quinn is technically her sister-in-law? But now that the tables have turned, suddenly we're a family? You've seriously got some nerve, huh!"

Jade was momentarily speechless, but she knew exactly how to play the long game in public.

Lowering her eyes to appear submissive and long-suffering, she leaned closer to Miles. "Ms. Chase, I was only trying to offer some friendly advice. Please don't misunderstand my intentions."

Yara crossed her arms over her chest and sneered, "Drop the pathetic act. Did you skip dinner or something? You're practically gluing yourself to someone else's husband. Are you terrified people won't realize you're the homewrecker destroying a marriage?"

The moment those words fell, everyone in the room turned to look.

A second ago, they had pitied the woman who seemed so deeply wronged, but now they realized she was actually just a mistress?

Feeling the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Jade spoke up pitifully, "Miles..."

"Quinn, you just don't get it. He wants to have his cake and eat it too. He's attached to his little sweetheart like a conjoined twin, never leaving her side, but then he turns around and tries to sell this perfect image to the public. It's laughably hypocritical!"

Dominic's tone was icy. "Miss, please watch your language immediately. For publicly using derogatory terms to maliciously slander Mr. York, I will compile the evidence and serve you with a formal cease and desist to hold you liable!"

Marcus recognized the opposing counsel. He gave Dominic a slight nod in greeting.

He smiled faintly, his tone light but devastatingly sharp.

"Dominic, it's just a petty squabble between women. Let's not blow things out of proportion. Besides, if one doesn't want to be misunderstood, one should probably be more mindful of their behavior in public, wouldn't you agree?"

This well-meaning reminder landed like a brutal slap in Jade's ears. Seething internally, she lowered her eyes and discreetly took a step away from Miles.

Miles strode over to Quinn, darkly grabbing her wrist. His voice was freezing. "You've really outdone yourself, Quinn. You actually have the money to hire a lawyer now? Step outside. I need a word with you in private."
