She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 267

Her beautiful eyes misted over with unshed tears, the corners of her lips turning down in a pitiful pout as she whispered,

"Miles, did Quinn say something to you?"

"I know she's always had it out for me."

"She didn't say anything. I asked the staff last night."

His tone was laced with heavy disappointment. "Jade, an apology requires sincerity. You merely said 'I'm sorry' without explaining what you were sorry for. On top of that, you claimed it was because Leo didn't want me to take Luna as a goddaughter. Do you really think such a vague, misleading apology was sincere?"

Being reprimanded by him made Jade pale for a second. Feeling completely wronged, she lowered her voice, her words thick with bitter grievance.

"Miles... when she falsely accused Leo of stealing her scarf, she never apologized to me either! At least I took the initiative to say I'm sorry!"

Miles wasn't moved by her defense. "That's an entirely different matter. Leo was in the wrong first for ruining the scarf she knitted for Luna."

At the mention of Luna, his voice grew even sterner. "Go back to your desk and write a formal apology letter. This afternoon, I'll call Quinn into my office, and you will apologize to her properly!"

His gaze was unreadable, making it impossible to gauge his true anger.

But Jade felt an icy chill seep into her bones. The humiliation and indignity lodged in her throat, suffocating her.

That wretched Quinn! No wonder she pretended not to care about the laptop—she was setting this trap all along.

She burned with hatred.

Keeping her head down, she forced out a reluctant, "Yes, Miles."

"Jade, don't feel wronged. You and Macy were entirely in the wrong on this."

Jade lifted her beautiful, tear-filled eyes. The tears clung stubbornly to her lashes, refusing to fall, making her look incredibly fragile and heartbroken.

"Miles, I... I know I was wrong."

Miles walked over and handed her a tissue, his tone softening.

"Jade, we grew up together. I know you have a sweet nature and know right from wrong. Take the laptop if you like it."

Jade had fully expected him to wipe her tears away himself, but he merely handed her the tissue and stopped there.

Because she was in such a good mood, a bright, radiant smile graced her features, and she spoke politely,

"Thank you so much, Wayne!"

Wayne West was a tech manager at York Plaza's IT Recovery Center. He wore glasses and had that classic, cleanly handsome nerd vibe, not even thirty yet.

Seeing such a stunning woman smiling at him, he nervously scratched the back of his head, his face flushing with embarrassment. "Y-you're very welcome."

"Hunter, Wayne, let me buy you both lunch."

Quinn didn't feel right just taking her things and leaving. She wanted to treat them to a nice meal at a nearby restaurant as a token of appreciation.

It was exactly lunchtime, and she understood basic social etiquette.

How could Hunter possibly let the boss's wife treat him?

Just as he was about to decline, Wayne nodded and accepted.
