She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 307

Hearing her threaten to call the police, a flash of panic crossed Jade's eyes, but she quickly masked it with forced calm.

"What proof do you have that I stole the data from your flash drive? Aside from trying to scare people, what else can you actually do?"

With a soft ding, the elevator doors opened. Quinn stepped inside and cast a dark, piercing look back at her. "If I don't have proof, what are you so afraid of?"

The doors slid shut, reflecting Jade's twisted expression in the polished metal.

Seeing the red swelling on her face, Lynn asked with deep concern, "Secretary Winter, your face is swollen again. That barbaric Quinn is absolutely despicable."

"I'm going to tell Mr. York!"

"No, don't."

Jade's heart clenched tightly at Quinn's parting words, making her completely forget the burning sting on her cheek.

"Secretary Winter, you're just too kindhearted. You always let yourself be wronged."

Catching the deep resentment in Jade's eyes, Lynn opted to say exactly what she wanted to hear. "Quinn is just a lunatic. She hits people over nothing. Mr. York will never like someone like her."

...

Miles sat in his office, completely unable to focus on his work.

He picked up his pen, only to set it down again.

Agitated, his voice was dangerously low. "Hunter, do you think what I said was wrong?"

Hunter knew the boss was in a terrible mood. He didn't dare say anything that would upset him further. However, if he lied to smooth things over, he feared the relationship between his boss and Mrs. York would freeze over completely, pushing them even further apart.

Mustering his courage, he spoke up. "Mr. York, what you... what you said earlier was indeed very hurtful."

"You shut down everything Mrs. York tried to say."

The temperature in the office plummeted instantly, and an inexplicable chill washed over Hunter.

"Hunter, do you still want to go mine in Ethiopia?"

Hunter scrambled to backpedal to save his own skin. "Mr. York... you weren't wrong. It was Mrs. York... she was being a bit unreasonable."

"She... she was in the wrong."
