She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 255

She was about to head to the kitchen table to eat with Gail and the other staff.

As expected, Leo glared at her and muttered under his breath, "Bad woman!"

He said it very quietly, so the others didn't hear, but Quinn, who was walking past, caught it clearly.

She stopped in her tracks, shooting a cold, sharp look at him. He quickly lowered his head.

Jade showed absolutely no remorse, her eyes curving in a display of kindhearted magnanimity.

"Quinn, Leo is just being a kid. Please don't stoop to his level."

The airy way she said it made a surge of suffocating frustration rise in Quinn's chest.

Seeing the smug look in Jade's eyes, she sneered and turned her gaze back to the glaring little boy.

She deliberately morphed her voice into a creepy tone. "Leo Winter, if I'm a bad woman, then you and your mommy are black-hearted villains!"

Not only did she use a bizarre voice, but she also made a grotesque, theatrical face like a ghoul. "Watch out, or the monsters will crawl out tonight and eat up black-hearted brats just like you."

Hearing this, Leo flinched in terror and buried himself in Jade's arms.

"Mommy, I'm scared... I don't want to be eaten by monsters!"

Seeing her child terrified, Jade's tone turned harsh. "Quinn Avery, he is only three years old! How could you scare him like that?"

Quinn fired back with the same airy indifference, "I was just making a joke. No need to take it so personally."

"What's going on?"

Miles had been on the phone and hadn't heard the exchange.

Seeing him walk over after finishing his call, Jade's tone instantly turned soft and pitiful. "Miles, she was saying things to scare Leo. Look how terrified he is."

"Quinn Avery!"

The man's expression instantly darkened. His brows knotted together tightly, and without bothering to ask for context, he shouted her name harshly.

"What did Leo ever do to you that you had to scare him like that?"

Seeing him blindly believe Jade's one-sided story without giving her a single chance to explain, Quinn felt a heavy weight drag at her chest. Her knuckles turned white.

"Miles, whichever eye of yours saw me scare him, you need to get it checked out."

Miles's frown deepened into a severe scowl, his expression turning even uglier.
