She exuded an elegant, noble aura that seemed to bloom from the inside out, carrying a subtle, intoxicating fragrance.
Gail and Jack stood frozen, completely captivated. "Mrs. York, you... you look absolutely breathtaking!"
Miles was on the phone, but the moment he laid eyes on her, he completely forgot to respond to Hunter.
"Mr. York?"
"Are you still there?"
Miles didn't tear his gaze away from Quinn, but he forced himself to pretend he was still engaged in the call.
"I... just do as I instructed."
Hunter paused on the other end. *Do what as instructed?*
*Did the boss give an order just now?*
*Why didn't I hear it?*
"Sir, this dress looks like it was custom-made for Mrs. York. It's stunning."
Miles offered a deliberately detached nod, though a silent flutter of attraction rippled through his chest.
Quinn kept her face expressionless, though it was impossible not to feel a slight spark of joy at Gail's compliment.
However, facing that icy, indifferent man, she wasn't about to let a relaxed smile grace her lips.
Deeming the fitting over, she turned to go take the dress off.
Miles hastily hung up the phone. "Quinn, wait a second..."
She frowned. "What now?"
"Gail, bring the jewelry over."
Miles slipped his phone away and casually walked over, taking the velvet box from Gail's hands.
"Put this on. Let's see if it matches."
Gail assumed her boss wanted her to put it on Quinn. To her surprise, Miles took out the necklace himself and stepped behind his wife.
Quinn gently touched the jewels. What woman didn't love beautiful things? She was no exception.
A genuine sense of delight washed over her, and a sweet smile framed by dimples blossomed on her face.
That single smile was so radiant it made the cascading crystal chandelier overhead look dull by comparison.
Miles had to silently admit it to himself. When this woman dressed up, she was exquisitely beautiful. Every subtle movement caught the light, making a man's heart skip a beat.
Of course, he would rather die than admit he had been staring at her.
Nor would he ever confess to acknowledging her natural, captivating beauty.
Catching the dark, appreciative gleam in her boss's eyes, Gail smiled knowingly. "Sir, doesn't Mrs. York look beautiful today?"
Miles cleared his throat, instantly reverting to his usual aloof, aristocratic persona. "She looks alright, I suppose."
Gail internally rolled her eyes. *He was obviously mesmerized, but his ego won't let him admit it.*
*It's as if complimenting his wife would physically pain him.*

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....
