She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 291

"With your body?"

*Crash!*

Quinn swept the bowl of porridge on the nightstand to the floor with a deafening shatter. Miles's gaze tightened, and he took a quick step back to avoid the splatter.

The veins on his forehead throbbed as he roared, "Lunatic! Quinn, you're an absolute lunatic!"

Quinn gripped the bedsheets tightly, her red-rimmed eyes glaring back at him.

"Miles, whatever I owe you, I'll pay it back with interest. What gives you the right to humiliate me like this?"

The man scoffed coldly. "If I hadn't arrived in time yesterday, wouldn't you have..."

Miles stopped himself. Something tugged at his chest, and he swallowed the vicious, hurtful words before they could escape.

A cold mist veiled his predatory gaze, hiding the fury beneath as he stared her down.

Quinn knew he was disgusted by her again, constantly mocking and degrading her.

It felt like a sledgehammer had slammed into her chest, and a suffocating wave of despair washed over her.

Her breathing hitched, her eyes turning glacial. "Miles, I will pay back what I owe you. Just leave. I don't want to look at you right now."

Miles felt as though a wad of cotton had been shoved down his throat, stifling his breath.

"Remember what you said today. I'll be waiting for that payment!"

He turned on his heel and strode toward the door. Pausing at the threshold, he glanced back over his shoulder, his somber eyes suppressing a lingering storm of frustration.

He arrogantly withdrew his gaze, his voice dry and laced with restrained displeasure.

"You certainly weren't acting this cold when you needed me last night."

Every moment in the car last night flashed through his mind—her fiery passion, her seductive grace. The erotic memories relentlessly hijacked his brain.

His ears burned slightly, and his heart pounded as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

This damn woman only knew how to tease him.

"Don't thank me, thank Mr. York. The moment he got home and heard from Jack about what happened, he rushed straight to The Aurora Club."

Quinn lowered her eyes. "Yeah. I owe him a favor for this."

"Could I borrow your laptop for a minute? Thank you!"

Hunter opened the laptop and placed it on the coffee table. "It's all set, Mrs. York."

Quinn patted her pockets, searching for her USB drive. A wave of panic hit her when she came up empty. "My USB drive... Hunter, did you happen to see a gold USB drive?"

Hunter shook his head. "No, I didn't see one. Check your things again. Could you have dropped it somewhere?"

Quinn couldn't pinpoint where she might have lost it.

Regency Bay, or The Aurora Club?

"Is it possible it fell out when Mr. York carried you into the car? Maybe in the private room or the hallway at The Aurora Club?"

Quinn thought that was the most likely scenario. Fortunately, she had backed up the manuscript on her cloud drive.
