She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 243

Quinn didn't want him touching her and shook his hand off in disgust.

"Miles, I have absolutely nothing to say to you. Your sister filed a baseless police report and slandered us without a single shred of proof. I fully intend to reserve the right to hold her legally responsible!"

Hearing this, Miles's gaze slid toward his sister. "Macy, didn't I tell you to wait until I got back from the hospital before making any decisions?"

Macy showed absolutely zero remorse, her tone still completely self-righteous.

"Miles, Leo is my nephew. It broke my heart to see him suffer, and since I couldn't help him medically, all I could do was call the cops to arrest the people who hurt him. Is that really a crime?"

A sharp ridge formed between Miles's brows. "The maid only said she saw a powder-like substance fall from Yara. How did you magically conclude it was poison?"

Macy still didn't think she was wrong, but noticing her brother's furious tone, her arrogant momentum dropped a notch.

"I was just... telling them what I knew. Even if there's no concrete evidence right now, Quinn and her friend are obviously the prime suspects."

Yara stared at her like she was an absolute idiot. "Miss York, can you please try not to be so blatantly ignorant? That powder was just my makeup setting powder, yet you called it poison? I've already handed it over to the officers, and they'll test it themselves. Did we really need you fabricating wild conspiracy theories here?"

Macy glared at her resentfully. "Hmph, we'll see what you have to say when the results come back. Let's see how stubborn you are then."

Quinn's tone was icy and distant. "Miles, your son went to the hospital. The doctor must know by now whether he was actually poisoned or not."

A faint ripple flickered through the dark abyss of Miles's eyes before returning to a cold stillness.

"The doctor didn't say... it was poison. Leo got coconut milk powder on himself, and when he played on the slide, it attracted bugs and ants that bit him. That's what caused the allergic rash."

Macy choked on her words, but she kept her chin held high, stubbornly refusing to concede or back down.

Jade felt a surge of anxiety. What if the police discovered that she was the one who put the coconut milk powder on Leo?

She never wanted to call the cops; she only wanted Miles to pity Leo and use it to drive a wedge between him and Quinn. She hadn't expected Macy to jump the gun and report it to the authorities.

Steadying her nerves, she pulled her lips into a perfectly gentle smile, her voice soft and subservient.

She spoke with pointed implication, "During the banquet today, the Michelin-starred chef Miles hired used coconut milk powder in his cooking. Perhaps... Leo just wanted a snack and accidentally touched it?"

How could Yara not hear exactly what she was doing? Hiding behind a hypocritical mask to discreetly throw them under the bus again!
