She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 283

Quinn only had a little over a million dollars in her account, nowhere near the $1.5 million Bruiser demanded. That amount wouldn't even cover the immediate hole.

Yara's five million was tied up in investments, and even if she tried to withdraw it, it would take a couple of business days. Getting the cash tonight was impossible.

Caught in a tight spot, she tried to negotiate. "Can you give me a two- or three-day grace period? I'll pay you extra interest after three days."

Bruiser offered a sleazy smile, his eyes trailing over her curves. "Sure, as long as you drink these three glasses, you can pay me the $1.5 million in three days."

Quinn took a step back. "I can't drink. I can give you more interest in three days, but I am not drinking that."

Bruiser had his sights set on her face and body; there was no way he was letting her leave easily.

"Heh, sweetheart, you don't get to call the shots here."

...

Miles had just returned home when Gail and Jack rushed over anxiously.

"Sir, you're finally back."

Noticing their panicked expressions, he frowned. "What happened?"

"Ma'am's brother called and made her go to some club called Aurora... something. It sounded like her brother was going to get his leg broken, and she rushed over alone to save him. I'm terrified something might happen to her."

Miles rested a hand on his hip, his sharp jawline tight. He paced the living room, irritation bubbling in his chest.

He instinctively reached for his phone to have Hunter look into whatever mess AJ had gotten himself into.

But then he remembered how stubbornly Quinn had declared that her brother would never ask him for money again, and that he didn't need to involve himself in their affairs.

His hand stopped mid-air. Didn't she think she was so capable? Fine, let her deal with her brother's mess herself.

If he stepped in now, he'd only end up hearing her coldly state that she hadn't asked for his help.
