She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 26
He would only ever assume she was shifting the blame and making excuses.
With that, she offered a polite, shallow smile. "But thank you for not immediately assuming I shoved Jade on purpose, like Miles did."
After delivering that line, she gave a slight nod and walked away.
Julian watched her retreating, lonely silhouette, an unnamable ripple flashing through his deep gaze.
Perhaps, Quinn wasn't as despicable as they had all imagined.
Maybe... this constantly vilified woman held a resilient purity in her bones that was far more genuine than the rest of them.
...
"Jade, what happened to your foot?"
Macy walked in holding a cob of grilled corn. Seeing her brother inspecting Jade's ankle, she asked in confusion.
"Macy, I... I'm fine. I just accidentally sprained it."
"Sprained it, my foot! I saw it with my own eyes. That bitch Quinn pushed Jade on purpose."
Cody and Luke walked in right behind her. Cody had overheard the maids gossiping outside.
After questioning them, the staff had relayed exactly what they thought they saw.
Jade immediately took the blame, her voice painfully gentle. "Cody, it's my fault... I shouldn't have pressured Quinn to join the BBQ. It's on me, don't blame her."
Luke stepped closer, his eyes practically overflowing with heartache for her.
"Jade, you always take the blame for everything. That woman is just jealous of you. Did you forget? When she found out you and Miles were childhood sweethearts, she spiked your tea and gave you a massive allergic reaction. She almost ruined your face!"
Jade felt a rush of vindication but, maintaining her forgiving persona in front of Miles, she spoke softly.
"Luke, that's all in the past."
Her words caused a subtle shift of emotion in Miles's eyes as he looked at her.
Luke continued advocating for her. "Jade, she doesn't deserve your kindness."
Macy quickly agreed. "Luke is right. That woman doesn't deserve an ounce of your pity."
"Jade's ankle looks pretty serious. Maybe we really should call Zachary to come take a look."
Jade frantically waved her hands. "N-No, there's no need. Gail, you can do it."
She felt like Sienna's comment sounded like concern, but something about it felt incredibly off.
"Alright, Miss Winter. I'm pouring the balm now."
The moment Gail's fingers barely grazed her skin, Jade let out a sharp hiss. Cody immediately shoved Gail aside.
"You have no idea what you're doing! Let me do it."
Saying that, he reached out to massage Jade's ankle himself.
Jade quickly pulled her foot back and sat up straight.
"Cody, just let Gail do it."
Cody realized he had severely overstepped. His face flushed with embarrassment as he lowered his head and quickly stepped aside.

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
