Quinn paused mid-sip of her hot milk. Not only had Jade waltzed right into the house, but she had also become Miles's personal secretary?
"Jade is very professional," Miles remarked.
"Miles, sit down and have a little more breakfast with me," Jade coaxed.
Miles had already eaten. He had just gone upstairs to change his clothes and normally wouldn't touch another bite.
But for Jade, he broke his own rigid rules.
Watching him sit at the table to keep Jade company, Quinn felt a wave of bitter irony.
In the past, when she saw he hadn't eaten much, she had worried about his stomach.
When he came downstairs fully dressed, she had brought him a bowl of warm chicken soup to soothe his digestion.
He had merely frowned and snapped, 'Quinn, didn't the staff tell you? I don't eat a second breakfast.'
It turned out that all his so-called unbreakable rules and habits were entirely conditional. It just depended on who he was breaking them for.
Quinn returned to her room, gathered her things, and got ready to head to the Smart-Tech International Summit for her translation gig.
Miles noticed Jade's neck. "What happened there?"
Jade tilted her slender neck, fully exposing her pale skin, and offered a gentle smile.
"Miles, I think a mosquito got in last night and bit me."
"They didn't clean the guest room properly? I'll have Gail deep-clean it again."
By the time Quinn emerged from her room, Miles and Jade were already in the car, with Hunter driving them away.
She ordered a rideshare on her phone and headed to the hotel to meet her client.
...
The Smart-Tech International Summit was held in the grand banquet hall of The Evergreen Seven-Star Hotel, the most luxurious venue in the city.
"Positive. She's wearing that same ancient backpack she refuses to throw away."
"Cody, did you forget her mother used to be a maid for the York family? She's probably just here to carry someone's bags or play servant for one of the VIPs."
Cody slapped his forehead. "Right! I completely forgot about that. She's just here to be a lackey. Come on, let's go tell Miles so she doesn't end up embarrassing him."
Miles stood at the dead center of the banquet hall, radiating power like the sun. He was the undisputed focal point of the room.
Elites swarmed around him, eager to network and flatter him.
Since taking over the York Group, his ruthless tactics and brilliant foresight had revitalized countless industries and aggressively expanded their global footprint, doubling the company's valuation year over year.
His extraordinary capability was awe-inspiring, but his flawless, striking looks made it impossible to look away.
Paired with his untouchable, icy demeanor, he was destined to be the absolute center of attention the moment he arrived.
Seeing Jade standing proudly by his side, the guests immediately pivoted to flatter her as well. "And this... must be Mr. York's most cherished partner, the heiress of the Winter family?"

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....
