"Didn't you just say time is valuable? Cut the nonsense and get inside."
Miles's face was stone cold. He had no desire to waste another second arguing with her.
He had a critical meeting later, and her stunt had already cost him an hour.
The head abbot chanted a blessing over them and sprinkled holy water.
Miles kept his head bowed and eyes closed, looking the picture of devotion.
After today, they would have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
Walking out, he looked visibly relieved, as if a massive weight had just been lifted off his shoulders.
Suddenly, Quinn's phone rang. It was her brother, AJ.
"Quinn! You have to get to The Aurora Club right now! I... they're beating me to death! They're going to break my legs!"
"What?"
Quinn panicked, trying to get more details, but all she could hear through the speaker were her brother's agonized screams.
"AJ?!"
She tried calling back, but no one answered. The silence only amplified her terror.
If she called an Uber now, the wait time would be too long, and her brother's life was on the line.
Seeing Miles's car about to pull away, she sprinted toward it in a panic. "Miles, can you please take me to The Aurora Club? My brother is in trouble, I have to get there now!"
Miles looked at her with pure indifference. "Didn't I just tell you my time is valuable? Call a car."
Quinn's face was white with panic. "There's no time! If I wait any longer, they're going to shatter his legs!"
Miles assumed she was just trying to cling to him again. Over the years, she had constantly looked for excuses to win his favor, but he had remained entirely unmoved.
He remembered the promise he made to himself in the abbey—that he was done with her and wanted zero attachments.
He raised an eyebrow mockingly. "Quinn, we live in a society with laws. You don't need to invent such pathetic excuses."
Quinn softened her tone, begging desperately, "Miles, please. Mr. York, I'm begging you. Just this once?"
"Mr. York, Miles, please just give me a ride."
Quinn was out of her mind with panic. His car was the only way she could leave for The Aurora Club immediately. He was her only hope.
Miles had never seen her look so broken. Even when she used to play the obedient wife, she had never completely discarded her pride to beg him like this.
A surge of irritation hit him. He pinched the bridge of his nose and finally relented. "Get in."
"Thank you!"
Quinn kept dialing her brother from the back seat, but it either rang out or went straight to voicemail.
She was burning with anxiety. "Tristan, can you take a shortcut?"
"Yes, Ma'am. I know a faster route up ahead."
Half an hour later, Tristan pulled up to the entrance of The Aurora Club.
Quinn practically threw herself out of the car, sprinting inside to find her brother.

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....
