She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 244

"Jade, you seem to know an awful lot about this. Could it be that you orchestrated the whole thing yourself?"

Macy's eyes went wide with fury. "Don't you dare drag Jade into this! Why would she ever use coconut milk powder to hurt her own son?"

Yara sneered. "How do you know she wouldn't? Haven't you ever watched a soap opera? Mothers harming their own kids to get what they want happens on TV all the time. Besides, no one knows exactly what triggers Leo's allergic rashes better than his own mother."

Jade's heart skipped a massive beat. She hadn't expected Yara's casual, sarcastic remarks to hit the nail squarely on the head.

It jabbed right at her most vulnerable spot, sending her into a total panic.

She curled her fingers tight, terrified of leaking even a fraction of her guilt, forcing herself to maintain a brave front.

Feigning absolute fury, she snapped back, "Yara, you're making vicious, baseless accusations! How could I ever be so cruel to my own son? Seeing him in pain broke my heart; I would gladly take his suffering upon myself if I could."

As she spoke, a layer of mist formed in her beautiful eyes. She looked up at the man beside her, her voice trembling with grievance. "Miles... they're framing me again..."

Miles instinctively shielded her, his tone biting. "Yara, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? How could Jade possibly poison Leo? Don't you dare—"

Seeing him scold her best friend, Quinn stepped in front of Yara, her face dark as she furiously cut him off.

"Miles, your sister is allowed to slander whoever she wants, but my friend isn't even allowed a reasonable guess?"

Her mocking gaze swept over the woman at his side. "Jade, why are you panicking? Did Yara actually strike a nerve?"

Jade's face went sheet white, and she scrambled to deny it. "I... I'm not! Stop spewing lies!"

Still protecting Jade, Miles stared darkly at Quinn. "Watch your mouth, Quinn. Stop targeting Jade with every breath you take."

Yara, furious at him reprimanding her best friend to defend his mistress, openly called him out. "Hey everyone, look at this! This scumbag is defending his mistress and screaming at his own wife!"

Seeing Quinn turn to leave, Miles issued a harsh warning. "You keep sleeping out every night. Do you want me to go back to the sanatorium and bring your mother back here?"

Quinn tightened her grip, catching the blatant threat in his words, and replied coldly, "I don't need your reminders."

Throwing those words back at him, she walked out with her best friend.

Miles stood frozen in place, a suffocating rage searing through his chest as the air around him turned ominously dark.

None of the bystanders dared approach to provoke him. The CEO of the York Group with a whole team of lawyers behind him—who would dare tempt fate?

Jade didn't want to stay there a second longer either, entirely aware that the way people were looking at her had fundamentally shifted. She murmured pitifully.

"Miles... Leo is still at the hospital. Let's go see him."
